TESTIMONY OF CHAELES A. DOREMUS. 223 



two and a half quarts and two and three-quarters in the morning ; 

 the pumpkins told on the quality of milk ; it was the biggest amount 

 of water that I had ever found in the milk up to that time. 



Q. "What was it? A. Ninety per cent.; I tested the milk the 

 other day and it contained over 90 per cent, of water. 



By the COURT Q. You mean by analysis ? A. Yes, sir. 



By Mr. PRENTICE Q. What was the butter in that Bob-tailed 

 cow ? A. The butter was 2.5, the salts .688, and caseine and sugar 

 together was 6.234 



By Mr. WAEHNER Q. Proceed with your table ? A. Now the 

 next cow was Fanny ; this cow gave next to the greatest quantity 

 of milk given by any of the cows in the dairy at that time ; in the 

 evening it stood at 100 exactly as I found the lactometer which I 

 used ; the 100 mark corresponding with the specific gravity 1.028.5 

 determined very carefully and accurately ; that would make it stand 

 between 98 and 99 ; I was very careful in testing this lactometer by 

 a specific gravity salt solution as prescribed by Professor Chandler 

 as his method of doing it ; she gave three quarts in the evening and 

 three quarts and a half in the morning ; the morning milk was 98 ; 

 that of course is subject to correction ; that would be, I suppose, 

 96 or 97 tested with the same lactometer ; there was no analysis 

 made of that milk ; that last cow was pasture-fed also ; it was in 

 September and the pasture was in first rate condition ; they were 

 grass-fed cows, nothing abnormal about them. 



By Mr. PRENTICE Q. Is that the last on your list ? A. No, sir ; 

 not yet ; among all those cows the one that gave the highest grav- 

 ity of milk stood 115 ; that was the highest ; she only gave a 

 quart. 



Q. What cow was that that you just spoke of ? A. That was 

 Cherry ; it has not been mentioned in this case so far ; she gave only 

 one quart and she stood at 115 ; now, I went to another dairy ; they 

 did not know about my coming. 



By Mr. WAEHNER Q. Have you given all your cows on that 

 table ? A. I have seventeen cows in all and out of the seventeen 

 there were five went below 100. 



Q. All the others on that table are above 100 ? A. Above 

 100. 



Q. How high up ; what are the extremes ? A. 115 is the highest.
