34 TESTIMONY OF JOHN BLAKE WHITE. 



Q. Mr. White, is whey of a less specific gravity than milk ? A. 

 Yes, sir. 



Q. Much ? A. A good deal. 



Q. Now, Mr. White, will you look at this bottle and see whether 

 you can determine that it is milk or not. 



(Objected to ; objection sustained.) 



Q. Is the lactometrical test the only test for milk ? A. It is 

 not the only test. 



Q. Have you ever tested milk with the microscope? A. No, sir ; 

 I have not. 



Q. If you used the microscope would you not be able to tell 

 whether the fluid you were testing was milk or an artificial sub- 

 stance made to resemble it ? A. I have said I have not examined 

 milk under the microscope. 



Q. I ask for your opinion ? 



(Objected to; objection sustained ; exception.) 



Q. Mr. White, in going to make tests of milk say out of 20 sam- 

 ples what proportion rises above a hundred I ask you suppose 

 you go about to milk shops testing 20 different samples of milk 

 what proportion falls below and what rises above a hundred, esti^ 

 mate it ? A. I could not say unless I referred to 20 estimates. 



By Mr. PRENTICE Q. You stated, Dr. White, that if the temper- 

 ature was not at 60 you would cool it to 60 or warm it by placing 

 it in ice water or in warm water. A. Yes, sir. 



Q. When you say it to what do you refer, the milk itself? A. 

 The glass vessel containing the milk, not the milk itself. 



Q. Suppose the milk should be, when you take it at a little less 

 than 60 should be a little cooler than 60, would that be more fav- 

 orable or unfavorable to the dealer ? A. It would be more favor- 

 able to the dealer in this case ; I do not always warm or cool it up 

 to 60. 



Q. You stated that this milk appeared to your observation to 

 have been adulterated ? A. Yes, sir. 



Q. Was this milk cow's milk or some other milk ? A. Cow's 

 milk. 



Q. Now, sir, your observation to which you testified that it 

 showed you some adulteration as probable, did it have reference to 

 its color and thinness ? A. Yes, sir.
