Report on Milk Analyses.

OIl WIN TtIuIlSCO.
The latest report from the Vermont
state laboratory of hygiene, Burlington,
on specimens of milk collected by milk
inspectors does not show great many
which are dirty or below standard, but
there are still some dealers who will
have to make an effort to reach the re-
quirements laid down as standard by
the board. Milk to conform to the re-
quirements of the board should have
total solids of 11.75 per cent, with solids
not fat of 85 per cent and fat of 1925
per cent. They should also be physical
ly clean.
In describing the physical condition of
standard milk the following adjectives
are used: Normal, applying to milk of
excellent odor and taste and free from
all traces of sediment; passable, apply
ing to milk of good quality, the taste
and odor of which are not quite so per-
feet and which may have slight traces
of extraneous matter; barely passable,
applying to the very lowest passable
quality, inferior in physical condition to
the above but not contaminated suffic-
iently to be classed as illegal.
In describing milk condemned on &C.
count of its physical condition, the fol-
lowing adjectives are used: Dirty, ap-
plying to milk which on account of care
less handling has a bad odor or contains
a decided sediment, or both; very dirty,
applying to similar but worse conditions;
extremely dirty, applying to occasional
cases of gross imperfectiOn, such as
very bad odor, very great amount of
dirty sediment, straws, hairs, etc.
While there were not any of the worst
cases found in the latest test, there are
cases which will need immediate atten-
