changes in the composition or character of the milk will be noted

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS. 
A 4 months’ old virgin doe kid spontaneously commenced to 
secrete milk having all the characteristics, properties, and chemi- 
cal composition of the milk secreted by its mother and other goats 
under observation. At no time, from the earliest secretion of 
milk to the present time, has there been any colostrum secreted. 
This would indicate that the secretion of colostrum is associated 
with and possibly is produced by the cessation of pregnancy and 
may not occur in lactation not associated with pregnancy.
