0.0003, the figure 3.316, which is the value for """'7™ when 

 s^l.0343. Introducing this value and that of the total solids 

 in the formula, the calculatiou is 12.25—3.316=8.934; 12.25-^ 

 8.934=1.37, which is the specific gravity of the solids in this 

 case. 



126. To recapitulate. Adulteration of milk by water- 

 ing or skimming, or both, may be established by a com- 

 parison of the composition of the suspected sample with 

 that of a control-sample, or if none such can be ob- 

 tained, with the legal standards. If the composition of 

 the two samples varies appreciably, the milk has been 

 adulterated, and the character of the adulteration is 

 shown from the following statement: 



If the analysis of the suspected sample 

 shows the milk is

The extent of the adulteration is determined as given 

 below. 



127. Calculation of extent of adulteration.' In the 



following formulas, percentages found in the control- 

 samples, if such are at hand, are always substituted for 

 the legal standards. 



a. Skimming.— 1. If a sample of milk has been 

 skimmed, the following formula will give the number 

 of pounds of fat abstracted from 100 lbs. of milk :
