Table IV. — Analysis of Milk taken from a Massachusetts Producer, 



Scplcmhcr, 1908. 



Note. — The samples were taken in the evening, those marked 9 

 being the freshly drawn and mixed night's milk. The fat in these 

 samples showed absolutely no variation and . 08 of 1 per cent was the 

 widest variation shown in solids not fat, and ^ of 1 degree was the 

 widest variation in the refraction of light, all of -which shows how care- 

 fully the samples were taken and analyzed. The cans marked 9 + 

 were said by the defendant to contain mixed morning's milk which 

 had stood all day, and of course it was more difficult to so thoroughly 

 mix in taking samples; nevertheless, the widest variation in total solids 

 was . 45 of 1 per cent. The refraction of light in the milk serum rarely 

 if ever goes below 40 in samples of mixed milk. The analysis of the 

 two samples of watered milk indicates, notwithstanding the mark 

 of 9 4- on the stopper, that milk sample 39 was, in a large measure at 

 least, night's milk. The story told by this table is that cans 39 and 

 47 originally contained only about five quarts of milk each and sub- 

 sequently had been filled with water.
