888 Report oF THE CHEMIST OF THE 

In the table above we show the number of pounds of fat for one 
pound of casein and albumen in milk during the period of lacta- 
tion. In the case of the Ayrshires, the ratio increases and ~ 
decreases without any marked uniformity during the period of 
lactation. With the Devons, the ratio increases as lactation 
advances, while in the other breeds the ratio decreases as lacta- 
tion advances. The loss of fat in the process of manufacture 
should be less in the latter case.
