This table 9hows the quality of milk 

 desired by the various cities of America 

 and Europe. 



Iu Colombo previous to 1903 the laws 

 relating to the quality of milk were 

 unsatisfactory, and it was decided by 

 the Municipality in order to rectify this 

 to have a standard set as obtained in 

 other important cities. Genuine sam- 

 ples were collected from all the dairies 

 by a special Inspector who personally 

 saw the animals milked, and took full 

 notes as to the conditions and feeding 

 for each animal. The result of the 

 investigation is given below : —

The Total Solid is the weight of the 

 solid matter after all the water has been 

 driven off. The Solids-not-fat is every- 

 thing but the fat, and includes the 

 mineral matter, sugar, nitrogenous 

 matter, and is the most constant figure 

 in the analyses. The fat is the most 

 variable and is usually higher than in 

 England, 



There were several other Breeds ex- 

 amined, i.e., Australian, Cross-bred 

 Cape, Cross-bred Australian and Indian, 

 Hybrid, Coast, Cross-bred Nellore and 

 Cross-bred Cape and Nellore, but the 

 animals were too few in number to 

 place any reliance on their yield and 

 quality of milk. 



The Scind and South Indian cows are 

 the more commonly used in Colombo, 

 and the analyses give a good idea of the 

 high quality of milk >ielded by cows in 

 Colombo. 



500 cow milks were tested and a 

 similar number from buffaloes.
