84 TESTIMONY OF CHAKLES F. CHANDLER. 



Q. What is the result upon your opinion, as detailed there, as to 

 the value of the lactometer as a practical test for determining the 

 watering of milk? A. They confirm me in that opinion. 



Q. State the maximum and the minimum and the result upon that 

 page ; read the resume as it is there ? A. The lacto-densimeter the 

 highest and lowest degrees ; milk marking more than 35 that is, 

 1.035, five of them ; milk marking less than 30, seven of them, and 

 only two of which stand below 1.029. 



Q. How many altogether ? A. 103. 



Q. How many exceptions ? A. Two exceptions ; one is 1.0288 

 and the other is 1.0289. 



By the COURT That is by the lactometer, not by analysis ? 

 A. This is by the lactometer on the milk of cows in their natural 

 state. 



Q. The lacto-densimeter, is that the same as the lactometer ? A. 

 It is. 



Q. Is that the same standard ? A. It gives the specific gravity 

 as compared to water ; it does not give the figures. 



By COUNSEL FOR THE DEFENDANT Q. Were the books before you 

 at the time that the questions were asked you at that trial ? 



(Objected to ; objection overruled ; exception.) 



By COUNSEL FOR PEOPLE Bead, if you please, page 36 ; the pas- 

 sages marked? A. "Having cleared away any confusion arising 

 from those slight differences in scale, we pass on to consider the 

 practical use to be made of the various data afforded by milk 

 analysis ; as will be remembered, 100 C. C. of milk of average qual- 

 ity contains 12.81 grammes of milk solids ; very rich exceptionally 

 rich stall-fed milk contains 14.47 grammes of milk solids ; now it 

 must be obvious to every one that very rich milk let down with a 

 little water will simulate milk of average quality ; there is a certain 

 limit below which the milk of well fed cows is never known to fall ; 

 "below 11.8 grammes of solids per 100 C. C. milk has not been known 

 to fall ; the most variable constituent of milk is fat, and if the quan- 

 tity of fat be deducted from the milk solids, the milk solids not fat, 

 which is of very constant datum, is obtained ; taking the milk 

 solids in common milk, and deducting the fat from it, there remains 

 9.65, which is a milk solids not fat ; similarly, milk solids not fat in 

 stall-fed milk amount to 10.35 grammes per 100 C. C. ; the best way
