This milk Is elaborated from the last portion por-tion of tho milk-producing material which the alveoli havo manufactured at tho tlmo of tho milking. Tho formation form-ation of material from which milk is manufactured goc3 on all the tlmo, according to our best presont knowledge, knowl-edge, but tho process is especially active at tho tlmo ot the milking. When tho milking begins somo of tbo milk is already elaborated ; the greater portion of the milk Is, however, how-ever, most HUely formed during the process of milking from tho material mate-rial stored up in tho alveoli during tho Interval since last milking. Toward To-ward tho end of tho milking tho flow of milk is much smaller than beforo until It practically stops, unless continuous con-tinuous stripping is resorted to. It Is tho rich milk adhering to tho cavities and ducts of tho uddor which Is thus lost to tho dairymen It tho milking Is Interrupted at tho point when many milkers stop milking. By simple manipulations of tho uddor this portion ot tho milking can bo easily obtalnod, nnd being vory rich In butter fat and other milk solids, It will greatly improvo tho quality of tho whole mess of milk if added thoro-to. thoro-to.
