TESTIMONY OF THOMAS H. DOUGHTY. 95 



By the COURT Q. The milk you get comes from different far- 

 mers ? A. Yes ; it comes from different members of our organization. 



By Mr. PRENTICE Q. Tell me what commercial milk is, how it 

 comes, how it is mixed, and in what quantities ? 



(Objected to as irrelevant and immaterial.) 



A. As I understand, commercial milk, the farmers milk in the 

 morning and at night ; these two milks are added together after 

 they are cooled properly in a spring, and are sent to New York, in 

 cans. 



Q. What sized cans ? A. 40 quarts generally. 



Q. And the milk of a number of cows in the same can ? A. Yes, 

 sir. 



Cross-examined : 



Q. Mr. Doughty, do you know Daniel Schrumpf, the defendant ? 

 A. No, sir ; I never saw him that I know of. 



Q. Can you tell whether the milk in his shop on the 25th of 

 August last, was mixed milk or milk from a single cow ? A , I have 

 never seen it. 



Q. How was this lactometer that you used, tested ? A. The 

 Board of Health officer called at our place to test our milk, and as 

 he made his test, I have a test in the office of every can of milk 

 disposed of by us every day, and 1 asked him to give me his test ; 

 he gave me the reading of his instrument, and I put my instrument 

 immediately after in the milk, and it read the same. 



Q. At what degree was that ? A. That milk that he tested stood 

 110. 



Q. How many degrees higher on your instrument that you used ? 

 A. I read to 110 and down to 80 ; those are the only ones that I 

 pretend are correct ; I have tried 3 or 4 instruments and I never 

 found them to agree. 



Q. How many degrees are printed in the graduation of your 

 instrument ? A. It is graduated to 120. 



Q. From what? A. Graduated from zero, graduated to 120. 



Q. Can you swear that your lactometer was correct as compared 

 with the lactometer which you know to be one of the Board of 

 Health's at any other point than 120, than the one you referred to? 

 A. Yes, sir.
