MILK INDUSTRIES.

5. Koumiss. —Koumiss is an alcoholic drink made by the fermentation of milk. As made by the fermentation of mare's milk it has long beeo a favorite beverage with the Tartars and other Asiatic tribes. Cow's milk has been used chiefly in making it in both' Europe and America. Mare's milk is the more suitable for fermentation because of the larger percentage of milk-sugar which it contains.

The fermentation is started by mixing fresh milk with some already soured. Both the lactic and the alcohol fermentations are set up, with the production of lacrtic acid, alcohol, and carbonic acid gas. Some of the albuminoids are also changed into j>eptones. The com})Osition of the koumiss as prepared from both marc's and cow's milk is shown in tlie accompanyiii<r analyses from various sources:
