31S ANNUAL. REPORT OF THE Off. Doc. 



want. If you want the Holstein breed, you are perfectly welcome 

 to it. On the other hand, I want the Jersey cow, that will give cream 

 for your coffee and for your strawberries, and it is that cow I want 

 when I want quality. You can't make as good butter out of Hol- 

 stein milk as you can out of Jersey milk. Why? Because the Hol- 

 stein is bred for a different purpose. 



A Member: Mr. Chairman, I would like to ask the Doctor a little 

 further as to the feeding of corn. 



DK. DETRIGH: I spoke of feeding bran, linseed and cotton seed 

 meal. I never feed corn meal; I never feed a pound of corn meal. 

 I fed corn nubbins on one occasion that I told you about because 

 they wouldn't eat other feed. I have found out that you must feed 

 for two things, and I feed for the farm as well as for the milk pro- 

 duct. 



A Member: What proportion of gluten do you feed? 



DR. DETRIGH: That depends just on the cow when it comes to 

 feeding. We start a frame with this mixed ration in it with linseed, 

 cotton-seed, cut hay and ensilage. We feed a cow according to her 

 production as near as we possibly can. Now we start this — we 

 start it on a large truck, and take it right around, feeding the cattle 

 right and left. If there is a cow here, she gets her regular propor- 

 tion of this, but if she will take more feed and turn it into a pro- 

 duct, we will give that cow an extra amount of grain. We will not 

 put any more bran in it. We try to put the bran in as a basis, and 

 then we cut it up with linseed. 



If the manure is too loose, we will take the linseed and gluten 

 meal; if the manure js not right, we will leave out the cottonseed 

 and gluten meal and put in more linseed. I know that oats is just 

 as good, but oats is too dear. 



I think I have stated to-day or some place that a cow's udder fol- 

 lows the manure. If the cow's droppings are right, I will guarantee 

 that her udder is right; you must get that cow's system right. The 

 fact that she does not shed her coat, some cows will not, that cow 

 will not milk as she should until her coat is right. Her whole cir- 

 culation must be complete, and she must be in splendid physical 

 condition; if you find your cow is not in proper condition, you can 

 judge what is best for her. 



Whatever a cow can eat up, and put in the bucket, it pays you 

 to give her. 



MR. MARTIN: Mr. Chairman, it is the expressed desire of nearly 

 all the delegates that we adjourn this meeting so that a great num- 

 ber of us may take the 3.30 train this afternoon, and if we do that, 

 it will be necessary to omit some of these addresses. 



There are several numbers yet on this program, that of Dr. War- 

 ren on ''The Enforcement of the Dairy and Food Laws," and then 

 Prof. R. L. Watts' address on "Soil Improvement Without Stable 

 Manures" and "Economy in Beef Production, by Prof. T. I. Mairs, 

 of State College. 



Dr. Warren is not present, but is represented here by Mr. H. L. 

 Banzhoff. I have talked with Mr. Banzhoff, and he comes here pre- 

 pared to occupy a few minutes in explanation of the work along
