TIIE MILK OF DIFFERENT
BREEDS OF* COWS.
Among the various aee<}clationa
of breeders of milk cattle there is
u liveijr competition ;for recognition
of the superiority of the type of anl

;ecognized that tytpes of dal

itspeci the milk from cows of the
Jtrsey and Guernsey typos departs
noticeably from the Holsteln vari

differing types of cattle. During
iti'.- past few years the laboratory of
food and drug '. Inspection of the
.Mufsat husetta Stale Board of Health
has made extensive analyses of hun
dreds of samples of milk from Jer

He It and Hoisiein cows, as well as
ironi cross-bred or so-culled grade
l'jWs. The valuable data thus ob
t allied under controlled conditions
make it clear that variations In the
composition of milk are due primar
ily to the breed, and to a less extent
to tiie una -on or the year and the
time since calving. The least vari
able milk constituents aro the lac
tose and the mineral ingredients,
both of which are therefore of value
in detecting added water. Inciden
tally. says The Journal of the Amer

Lome out, contrary to popular opin
ion. that milk obtained In summer
under current conditions Is. if any
thing, somewhat inferior in quality
to that obtained in winter.

to cause the rainfall to run off before
