A. butter end sugar in the animal system are
nearly equivalent, the essential difference is, tina.
The distillery milk contains Of both about As per
cent less than the other, which, considering that
most Of the starch In the grain has been transformed
into alcohol and carried Of, cannot be otherwise.
70 Ne impartial and dsinterested spectator this
war against the sellers Of such milk is very amusing,
and shows how fer popular notions can be wrong,
and prejudice excited in matters whereof to Judge,
true and thorough, not a little half knowledge is
fhele is NO animal produce more variable than
milk. The same COW, at different periods from the
birth Of her lsst calf, gives different milk different
food produces different milk; two COWS, fed
sS:Su,siy alike 10 M quantity and quality, give
ls,ge Durham COW and also small, lean
half breed the first gave daily eighteen quarts
And tae ether eight quarts of milk. But the eight
quarts Of the snail COW gave as much batter as the
egbteen Of the other, and botn were fed alike and
pastured in the same field; and if their milk had
been analysed, the enc would probably have been
called abominabe swil stuff milk in comparison
with the other.
That the distillery milk contains more phosphate
CT lime Is again consequence Of the food Ct the
COWS, beir either ex lusvely or In preponderancs
1r!naceous, hence containing far more phosphate
than glais; and IN this it could claim preference
~ tte interesting experimental Of Boussin ault and
ethcrs have sOwn that for the substance Of the bones
Of the animal body, the phosphate Of line must be
contained IN our food and drink. The increase Of
sugar the wr'er Of the report attributes boldly,
prior to an addlteraton or addition after mlking
without adducing. the slightest proof Of it. We
would rather ascribe IL to thshat the starch of tae
grain being by the termination all converted into

assimilation. We wise the writer to make the ex-
