The following is from an article entitled "Cheese," by Frank V.
Kosikowski, in the May issue of Scientific American:

	"Indeed, the milk of almost any mammal could be made into
	acceptable and perhaps unique cheese, but the amounts
	collectible or accessible limit the opportunities.  How does
	one milk a guinea pig or a 100-ton whale careering through
	heavy seas?  (Barbour L. Herrington of Cornell University, who
	was studying the composition of milk from small mammals,
	actually designed a successful milking machine for guinea pigs
	some years ago, but the achievement did not lead to a guinea
	pig cheese because of the great number of animals that would
	have been needed to yield enough milk for even one small
	wheel.)"

Old Barbour just never had any entrepreneurial spirit.  Now, Tom
Carvel or Lee Iacocca or someone like that would have taken this
idea and run with it.  I just hope that Sen. Proxmire doesn't find out
about this particular line of research....:-)
