Sir,-1 answered "Lactogen's" first letter, but he seems to have failed to understand my explane- tion.

If "Lactogen" imagines he can get from his Chinese dairymen richer cow's milk than that sup- plied by the Dairy Farm Co., he has much to learn, but if he wishes to get richer milk in butter fata than the Dairy Farm milk he can easily do so by asking his Chinese dairymen to supply him with buffalo milk, which is very much richer in butter fata than cow's milk. Perhaps that is really what he is getting mixed with cow's milk, and he does not know it. It is a case of "where ignorance is bliss," elc.-Yours, etc.,
