96 TESTIMONY OF THOMAS H. DOUGHTY. 



Q. How many at 120 ? A. I can swear to it at 120, 110 and 

 100. 



Q. Did you test it at 100 ? A. Yes, sir ; because we made an 

 experiment at my office at that time. 



Q. How often have you found pure milk at 100 ? A. I found it 

 running 100 in the month of September, quite frequently. 



Q. I would like to know about how many times ? A. If I had 

 my book I could tell you exactly ; I have seen it 10 nights in suc- 

 cession on milk ; I suppose I have seen it in a thousand different 

 cans of milk standing at 100. 



Q. Pure milk ? A. Yes, sir ; milk supposed to be pure. 



By the COUET Q. Did all these run at 100? A. The tests vary 

 in different months. 



Q. Do farmers have these lactometers ? A. Yes, sir ; every one 

 of our members have got them, and some of our customers. 



By COUNSEL Q. Have you found any milk less than 100 ? A. 

 I have seen milk taken from cows which were feverish farmers 

 very frequently send such milk down here. 



Q. I ask you whether you have seen pure milk at less than 100, 

 and how often you have seen it ? A. I have seen it so in diseased 

 cows. 



Q. Only in diseased cows ? A. Never in any case where I knew 

 the milk to be pure, have I seen it below 100. 



Q. Are you a judge of cattle as to whether they are diseased or 

 not ? A. I am a fair judge of cattle: I can tell I think when a cow has 

 got fever ; about calving time I know generally cows have got 

 fever. 



Q. About calving time how does milk run, does it run below 100 

 or over? A. I have seen milk run down below 100 at calving 

 time. 



Q. How often ? A. I know of ten instances where I have noticed 

 it myself. 



Q. Are those the only instances you know of? A. Those 

 instances I have noticed. 



By the COURT Q. Just before calving? A. Yes, sir ; there will 

 be blood particles through the milk. 



By Mr. PKENTICE Q. Milk at that time has a scientific name ; 

 do you know it ? A. I do not.
