CHEMICAL ANALYSIS or SUMNER MILK.
Mean OF several testsD

Such tests are not final. They can
not settle the breed standard of milk
for the reason that there is such diff
ference in animals Of the same breed
But they are valuable in establishing
outline Judgment. The question Of the
superiority of the dairy breeds for dairy
purposes can not rest on qualitative
analysis. Suppose the flesh OF Jer-
sey, Holstein, n short horn and
Galloway steerwegc submitted to Prof.
Brown to determine by analysis which
is the most profitable breed for beciing
purposes. He would say: Gentle
men, can give you an understanding
Of the relative elements Of the several
specimens of flesh before me. They
may vary somewhat in their ccnslitu-
cnt relations, but simple analysis will
throw no light on the aptitude Of the
animal or breed for forming flesh profit
ably" The same principle holds good
in milk.
The question (which Is the best

several other questions. Chief Of which
is-the purpose she is wanted for;
whether butter, beef or cheese anil
milk. In this division Of purpose we
are but obedient to an established DRIFT
