the morning, and, so far as is known, were not again milked until the 
evening, at the Station, where they were milked clean, and the mixed 
milk was at once carefully sampled for purposes of analysis. We had 
hence the milk from fatigued and harassed cows, and analyses were 
made in duplicate for the total solids, in triplicate for the fat, and in 
duplicate for the nitrogen, by combustion. We feel assured that this 
analysis represents accurate sampling, although the results are phe- 
nominal in their character. Jt would scarcely answer to generalize 
from one case, yet we would call attention to the general belief that 
harassing of cows diminishes the fat of the milk.. The yield of the 
evening’s milkings of the three cows was as below:
