TESTIMONY OF CHARLES F. CHANDLER. 63 



dairy, even if all those cows were at one dairy, it would be impos- 

 sible to send to New York commercial mixed milk standing below 

 100 on the lactometer ? 



Q. Will you not look at this table, out of fifteen cows, cow No. 

 14, and say whether it does not appear from this table that the milk 

 of that cow stood 95, and with one exception, that cow produced as 

 much milk as any of the 15 ? A. I said in some cases, not in all 

 cases, that the quantity of milk was very small ; Number 95 pro- 

 duced five quarts of milk. 



Q. Was that not as much milk, with one exception, as any other 

 cow produced ? A. No, there is one cow that produced six, and 

 another cow that produced eight, and several cows that produced 

 five. 



By the COURT Q. What season of the year was that ? A. July, 

 this last July, the hottest weather. 



By COUNSEL Q. In case the condition of the cow is unhealthy 

 or abnormal to such an extent as to effect the composition of the 

 milk, can this be discovered from the milk itself? A. Not with 

 absolute certainty. 



Q. Can it be discovered generally ? A. I lost the first part of 

 your question. 



Q. In case the condition of the cow is unhealthy or abnormal to 

 such an extent as to affect the composition of the milk, can this be 

 discovered from the milk itself? A. It might in some cases be dis- 

 covered, but certainly not in all. 



Q. Could it generally ? A. I doubt it. 



Q. Now, in case you took two samples of pure milk at 60 degrees 

 Fahr. one standing at 100, and one at 95, which would you expect to 

 contain the most water ? 



(Objected to ; objection overruled.) 



A. The one standing at 95. 



Q. Which would you expect to contain the most butter. A. The 

 gravity would not indicate. 



Q. Either might ? A. Either might contain most butter. 



Q. Are you confident that the one standing at 95 would contain 

 the most water ? A. Yes, sir. 



Q. Now, sir, will you look at these two analyses in Doctor White's 

 report, one being an analysis of milk at 100, and one of milk at 95,
