This watering of milk is called “stand- ardizing.” The Minneapolis milk -distributors had standardized their milk and al- . ways had gotten away with it, except on relatively rare occasions when they had- reduced their - milk below the legal standard. It seems that when hundreds of gal- lons of milk are mixed and standard- ized (Watered) and composite samples are taken, the usual gravity tests for added water do not show the percent- age. officials swore themselves black in the face that they had 'not adulterated their milk. After Doctor Hortvet’s testimony had been introduced -these officials changed their attitude. Openly defiant and scornful of Doc- . tor Hortvet’s testing device, the milk company officials ' had to be “shown.” Judge C. L. Smith “showed” ’em. The judge asked authorities of the agricul- tural college of the University of Min- nesota to bottle a gallon of “watered” milk, and let him alone know the per- centage of adulteration in the several bottles. - ; These bottles of milk were turned over to Doctor Hortvet to test. When the expert turned in his report, Judge Smith announced that Hortvet’s anal- ysis tallied exactly with the figures given him by the agricultural college. Just for the fun of it Judge Smith sent out and obtained samples of milk from the delivery wagons on the streets that day. Doctor Hortvet analyzed these new samples and found that the milk had been adulterated by the addition of 9 per cent water. ANALYZE MIXTURE BY FREEZING . Doctor Hortvet determines the addi- tion of water-to milk by freezing. Milk and water freeze at different temperatures. Simple, isn’t it? But the milk company officials on trial in Minneapolis loudly proclaimed that there wasn’t a chemist who could de- termine if milk had been standardized. When the officials of the milk com- panies in Minneapolis saw that Doc- tor Hortvet had the*“goods” on them they made ‘a startling © admission. They admitted that on “rare” occa- sions they mixed condensed milk with water and sold the mixture as normal milk, Doctor Hortvet analyzed a sample " of this so-called “reconstructed” milk and reported to the court that the product was not ‘made of standard con- densed milk; that the basis for this new kind of milk was condensed skim- milk to which had been added water and butterfat. 5 ; Judge Smith fined each of the milk companies $100, the maximum penalty under the Minnesota law. The court remarked in the course of his opinion that the pfi)ple of Minneapolis had" paid over a®quarter of a million dol= lars for water at 18 cents a quart in the past year. He added that the fines imposed would not stop the practice of watering milk, unless the proper authorities kept strict track of the milk companies.
