In no instance does the non-fatty solid value in Table I fall below 
8. S per cent although the fat is low (below 3 per cent) m seven cases. 
This however often applies to cows in Europe. 
In a recent paragraph in the agricultural columns of an English 
country paper, under the title of “ An appeal to the Cow is a striking 
instance of low fat values in a breed of British cows in the north of 
England. In the morning milk from a dairy of thirty six cows no less 
than twenty-three proved to he below the standard m .fat wtata two 
gave milk deficient in fat in the afternoon uniting The mixed milk 
from nineteen cows in the same dairy taken in the presence of an 
inspector showed only 2.77% of fat, while the mixed: mil : from , anothe 
batch of fourteen cows is stated to have given a fat value of 2.3 p 
C6R k The above figures are quoted merely to show that low fat value 
are often obtained from even herds of cows at home. 
The following table gives the average percentage of solids in milk 
of cows of different breeds in England as examined by V.eth and taken 
from Richmond's “ Dairy Chemistry.''
