xv, i Levine: Milk Produced in Southern China 101 
modifying milk for infants requiring modified milk, the college 
physicians prefer buffalo milk to European cows’ milk because 
of the ease with which it lends itself to modification. The usual 
formula for modification is 100 grams of buffalo milk, 18 grams 
of sugar, and enough boiled or distilled water to make 300 grams. 
This makes the percentages of fat, proteins, sugar, and ash about 
right for infants, as when thus modified the milk compares well 
with human milk. For children of 3 years or more the milk is 
usually simply thinned by adding an equal amount of water. 
FEED FOR DAIRY COWS 
The commonest concentrates fed are equal proportions of a 
cheap grade of rice chop and wheat bran, fed twice a day. Na- 
tive cattle are grazed on the public grave and hill land during 
the daytime. Green grass is cut daily for the European cows, 
which are kept stabled all day. Most of the grass is cut from
