! test Of milk and butter. The expert
ments are under the direction of Prof.
Billings and Mr.. Agrelius, and will
be very complete in character. Sew
enty guinea pigs were incculated with
the milk solution and turned over TO
the care of c.. \. White, who ltls
aged to furnish enough guinea pigs
TO carry out the long series of expert
ments. The guinea pigs will be kept
by Mr.. White for two or three months,
when they will again be taken In
charge by the bacteriology depart
mcnt and inoculated with tuberculin.
If they die, it will be positive evidence
that the milk contained tuberculo3i:
germs. On the other hand ii they
remain healthy, the sample will then
be proved free from containing the
germs. Not only is the milk Of Law
