366 REPORT OF THE CHEMIST OF THE 
Devons stand third in fat and first in regard to casein and albumen ; 
and the Ayrshires, standing .siath or lowest in milk-fat, stand 
fourth in regard to casein and albumen. The other breeds pre- 
serve the same relative order in regard to casein and albumen as 
in regard to fat. 
5. If we compare the breeds with reference to the milk-fat and 
the ratio of casein and albumen to milk-fat, as in the first and 
third tables above, we see that they stand in the same relative 
order ; that is, the Jerseys stand highest in regard to milk-fat and 
their milk also contains the largest amount of fat for each pound 
of casein and albumen. The other breeds follow in the same 
relative order in the two tables. 
6. The difference in milk-fat, available or recoverable for 
cheese-making, in 100 pounds of milk, between the highest and 
lowest is 1.86 pounds, while the difference in regard to casein 
and albumen, available for cheese-making, between highest 
and lowest, is 0.48 pounds; that is, the fat that we 
can fairly expect to work from the milk into the cheese, from 
100 pounds of milk, varies nearly four times as much as the casein 
and albumen, if we consider the variations between the highest 
and lowest numbers of these constituents, that can be regarded as 
available for cheese-making.
