In States that, like Pennsylvania, have expressed in the stat-utes minimum legal percentages of fat and total solids, and thatdo not provide additional penalties for skimming and watering,-the analyst does well to confine his evidence to data showing themilk in question to be sub-standard. It is worth while in such that a suspected milk is skimmed or watered only inthose cases where the percentages of fat and of total solids are. above the legal minima. The method suggested in this paper em-bodies this idea. In normal mixed n^ilks the constituents are present in fairlyconstant proportions. The relations between various constituentshave found expression in numerous milk formula: ^ some of which ^ Milk and Cream Act, approved June 8, 1911, forbids the sale of milkwhich contains less than three and one-quarter (3%) per centum of butter-fat, and less than twelve (12) per centum of milk solids, etc. In the State of Massachusetts, the penalty for the sale of milk which isadulterated is more severe than for the sale of milk below the legal , Jour.
