218 TESTIMONY OF THOMAS C. DOEEMUS, JB. 



Q. I ask if No. 3 was the black cow ? A. No. 3 was the black 



How much milk in quantity did she give on the first visit ? A. 

 You asked me yesterday that question and I answered it was con- 

 tained in that bottle which held a little over a pint ; I told you the 

 other day I did not measure it. 



Q. Was it about a pint the black cow's milk the first visit ? A. 

 Yes, sir, about that ; I did not measure it ; it was contained in a 

 bottle, about a pint. 



Q. How much do you know these cows gave on the second day ; 

 was it by the bottle or some other measure ? A. As I said about 

 in every answer it was only just an estimate ; we did not measure 

 it. 



Q. By the size of the bottle ? A. No, sir ; in some cases we just 

 judged from what was in the can ; there were four of us there. 



Q. "Well, sir, I will take these two did you measure the milk 

 of the black cow and No. 4? A. Are you referring to the last visit ? 



Q. Yes, sir ? A. No, sir ; we did not measure it. 



Q. You did not measure it on the last visit ? A. No, sir ; we did 

 not measure it ; we all agreed that it was about so much ; Dr. Wal- 

 ler and O'Connor. 



Q. Do you know what these cattle were feeding on, what was 

 their feed? A. It was on hay and straw. 



Q. Did you see any hay there at all? A. I did, sir. 



Q. Will you swear that they were eating hay ; was it not simply 

 and exclusively oat straw ? A. No, sir ; it was not simply straw. 



Q. Did you hear Mr. Mulford say, in answer to a question, that 

 he was feeding his cattle on oat straw ? A. I heard him say, if I 

 remember correctly, that he was feeding them on hay and straw 

 and cornstalks. 



Q. Was Dr. W T aller and O'Conner present at any such conversa- 

 tion ? A. I do not know ; I believe so. 



Q. Do you think they were when he said that ? A. Yes, sir. 



Q. Now did you hear Mr. Mulford say that he should not milk 

 his strippers after Sunday? A. I heard him say that several cows 

 that Were milked that day, one or two may be, I do not remember 

 the number, that he was not going to milk them any longer, not for 

 some time, I suppose.
