TESTIMONY OF ROBERT OGDEN DOEEMUS. 183 



alyze it ; on the 25th of September, 1876, he brought me the fol- 

 lowing samples : No. 6, with the thousand-grain bottle gave the 

 gravity of 1.027.25. 



Q. What was that by the lactometer ? A\ I presume he had 

 better testify concerning that ; he stated on analysis it yielded of 

 water 81.06, butter 9. 



Q. That was milk standing at 94 ? A. 1.029 is the standard of 

 the Board of Health ; 9.475 of butter, caseine and sugar 8.373, salts 

 0.836 ; No. 8, marked E, because it was the evening milk from a 

 part Alderney cow ; these were from Mr. Mulford, as he stated 

 1023.629, water 86.078, butter 6.099, caseine and sugar 7.058, salts 

 0.765 ; may I ask your Honor to observe in answer to your question, 

 this by the lactometer was 85, and here we have 6 per cent, of 

 butter ; the same cow in the morning, 8 A. M., it is marked by the lac- 

 tometer was 92, and by the thousand-grain bottle 1.026.75, water 

 87.046, butter 4.337, caseine and sugar 7.71, salts 0.896 ; from a 

 native cow, No. 9, evening milk, 1.028.5, water 86.613, butter 5.557, 

 caseine and sugar 7.097, salts 0.728 : evening milk from a native cow, 

 No. 10, lactometer 88.5, by the thousand-grain bottle 1.025.66, water 

 90.152, butter 2.917 ; here your Honor will perceive that the low 

 gravity was due to a large amount of water ; 90 parts of water, and 

 yet this was yielding from this cow caseine and sugar 6.243, salts 

 0.688 ; No. 1, I will mark it Clark's ; he will state where he obtain- 

 it from Mr. Clark's 92, on the lactometer at 60, I am talking of 

 now, gentlemen 1.026.6, water 87.646, butter 4.290 ; here your 

 Honor will perceive the butter was quite high ; caseine and sugar 

 7.337, salts 0.691 ; another from Clark's 99. 



By Mr. PRENTICE What number do you give that, Professor, 

 No. 2 ? A. This is marked No. 3, Clark's ; the pedigree of the cow 

 and so on will be given by one competent to state, I suppose ; this 

 stood at 99, 1.028.5, water 87.552, butter 5.771. 



By the COURT Do you think it is much more important for the 

 Board of Health to secure the public against the removal of cream 

 from milk than to secure it from being watered ? 1 suppose you 

 were aware the ordinance under which the second count of the 

 indictment is drawn, not only forbids the keeping the watered milk 

 for sale but skimmed milk for sale. This man is indicted for keeping 

 for sale milk from which a large portion of cream had been removed.
