224 TESTIMONY OF CHAELES A. DOREMUS. 



Q. Next to that ? A. The next to that is 113, she only gave a 

 little over a quart and a quarter ; oh, I see there were two at 115 ; 

 there is one here at 110 and 111 ; now, I went to an entirely differ- 

 ent dairy, it had no connection with Mr. Mulford and they did not 

 know that I was coming ; in this dairy, Mr. Clark's, the cattle in- 

 stead of being native were most of them cattle with a pedigree as 

 you might say, they were fine cattle ; the first cow that I tested the 

 milk went below 100. 



By Mr. PRENTICE Q. "What was its name? A. They had no 

 names ; I marked it in my table No. 1 ; she was three years old and 

 had two calves ; she calved in April ; she was three-quarters Ayr- 

 shire and one-quarter Short horn ; she was a pure breed of cow and 

 pasture-fed ; the milk stood at 92. 



Q. How much ? A. I could not measure the quantity in this 

 place ; there was no opportunity ; but the cows seemed to be giving 

 about half a pail of rnilk ; they were all in good milking condition ; 

 I suppose on an average the cows were giving there, I do not think 

 there was one of them went below three or four quarts ; they were 

 all fair yielding milk cows ; the milk of that cow stood at 92 ; the 

 analysis proved that there was 87.6 per cent, of water, 4.2 of butter, 

 7.3 of caseine and sugar and 0.610 of salts, showing the milk to be 

 normal. 



By the COURT Q. What did the lactometer say? A. It said 

 92 ; the next cow I will mark No. 5 ; this cow was a pure Jersey 

 cow, a beautiful little beast ; she had calved on the 31st of May, 

 that was the first day of June ; the man kept a record of all the 

 days on which the cows calved ; he had everything tabled. 



Q. You do not mean a New Jersey cow ? A. No, sir ; she was 

 an Alderney ; she was four years old and had two calves and the 

 milk stood at 100, that is 1.028.5, 98 properly on the Board of Health 

 lactometer, provided it was correct ; the lactometer I used was not 

 correct, I proved it was not correct by experiment in the laboratory ; 

 the 100 corresponded to the specific gravity of 1.028.5 ; now, No. 3 ; 

 there was no analysis made of that milk ; the lactometer stood at 

 99 ; the cow was a native cow ; the milk yielded on analysis 87.5 of 

 water, 5.7 of butter, nearly 6 per cent, of butter, 5.9 of caseine and 

 sugar, nearly 6 per cent, and 0.7 of salts; here again your Honor 

 will see that the percentage of water is almost exactly that which
