STANDARD QUANTITY AND QUALITY

eighths pounds per gallon—is now taken and accepted as 
the standard for milk, not only in our own country, but 
in all Europe. 
Quality.— The executive committees of the State 
Dairymen’s Association, after many experiments carefully 
made, have decided that hereafter the following shall be 
considered by r them as the standard quality of milk in Illi¬ 
nois : Water, 87.5 ; solid, 12.5—in a scale of 100 parts.
