232 TESTIMONY OF CHABLES A. DOKEMUS. 



grees ? A. I know the general principles that all hydrometers 

 should be so graduated for it is so laid down in the books. 



Q. Is it not true that the difference between each degree and the 

 next degree is one 55000th of an inch on the lactometer ? A. I have 

 simply had the lactometer of the Board of Health in my hand here ; 

 I do not know, I have never measured it. 



Q. Can you say that there is no difference on the Board of Health 

 lactometer ? A. Neither one nor the other. 



Q. Can you say it is not ? A. No, sir, I cannot say it is not ; the 

 gradations seem to be very close. 



Q. But you cannot say ? A. No, sir. 



Q. Now, sir, how came you to go to Mulford's and Clark's farms ? 

 A. I was requested to do so by my father. 



Q. How were those farms designated to you or to him, if you 

 know ? A. I went up to Port Jervis and had found out where Mul- 

 ford's farm was ; I had no positive direction ; they were in the 

 neighborhood of Port Jervis, I was told to go to Charles Mulford's. 



Q. "Were you told to go to Clark's too ? A. Yes, sir ; Charles 

 Clark ; I had to hunt them up ; my father did not know where they 

 were. 



Q. Now, sir, will you turn to your notes and tell me if there is 

 not rather an extraordinary resemblance between the analvsis of 

 the Bob-tailed cow and the analysis of the Black cow's milk ? A. 

 If it is so stated I believe those are correct ; those analyses were 

 very carefully made. 



Q. I ask you, as a chemist, whether it does not present rather an 

 extraordinary resemblance. A. You refer to the Black cow? 



Q. And the Bob-tailed cow, both, both of which milks you ana- 

 lyzed ? A. You mean the Black cow analyzed this year ; yes, sir, 

 there is quite a striking resemblance ; the amount of water is in 

 both the same. 



Q. And in other particulars ? A. Yes, sir, very little fat, very 

 poor milk.
