were thoroughly groomed each day. The feeding was done 
just before milking and the cows were gone over with a stiff 
brush just previous to milking so that the stable atmosphere 
was more or less filled with dust. For this reason the condi- 
tions were not quite as good as those existing in the College 
stable where the preceding experiments were made. 
tests the Stadtmueller pail was used and the same method of 
obtaining the samples was followed here as in the experiments 
already described.
