Question: Why did Mr. Harrison feed corn meal to get cream? 



Prof. Johnson : Because corn contains fat, and to get cream or butter we 

 must give a food that will furnish the supply. For milk we need more nitro- 

 genous elements. 



Mr. Friend : Can animals be fed to sell at one year old ? 



Prof. Johnson : Yes, sir.

BY H. A. LADD. 



Brooklyn, Feb. 14, 1889. 

 Ladies and Gentlemen: 



We have met together as representatives of the oldest of human industries. 

 We honor it not only as the most ancient industry, but the one that employs 

 more capital and engages more and better men and women than all others 

 combined.
