TESTIMONY OP CHARLES A. DOREMUS. 221 



assisted in making the analysis and in determining the specific 

 gravity of the milks testified to by my father in that case ; I saw a!7 

 the samples and assisted in many of the analyses. 



Q. Have you your memoranda of the analyses made at that 

 time ? A. I have, sir. 



Q. Your memoranda agree with that of your father ? A. They 

 do, perfectly ; they prove that the milk was pure. 



Q. Did you visit Mr. Mulford's establishment in September 

 last? A. On the 23d of September, 1876, on Saturday afternoon of 

 this year, I paid an unannounced visit to Mr. Mulford's farm in 

 Orange county, New York ; they knew nothing of my coming, and 

 received no intimation of my coming. 



Q. State what took place and what the results of your visits 

 were ? They had already commenced milking some of the cows, 

 and I lost therefore the milk of the cows which I was anxious to 

 obtain ; I obtained them, however, the next morning, and from the 

 determinations which I made there, I made up the following table. 

 The cows with but one or two exceptions, were the same cows that 

 we tested the year before, and many of the cows were the same as 

 those tested by my brother within the last two weeks ; I have found 

 a sample of milk coming from the yellow cow ; it is marked No. 6 

 on my table ; the whole milk, the evening milk, when thoroughly 

 mixed together at the temperature of 60, stood at 94 on the lacto- 

 meter. 



By Mr. PRENTICE Q. What quantity ? A. There were two and 

 one-third quarts of milk ; the cows were then in full milking ; she had 

 calved in February of that year ; I was particular to find out the 

 time of calving, the age of the cow, the number of calves she had 

 had, the quantity of milk, and everything I thought would bear 

 upon the testimony in this case, and make a report as thoroughly 

 as I could ; on analysis that milk yielded nearly 81 per cent, of water 

 and 9 per cent, of butter ; thus showing that the richness of the milk 

 influenced its specific gravity. 



Q. There was less water in that milk? A. There was less 

 water in that milk than in any I have found ; that was a fair ave- 

 rage sample of that cow's milk ; she was then not a stripper in any 

 sense of the word ; none of the cows were strippers when I visited 

 the place.
