564 BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. 



Ml". Dowd: In buying feed, would you buy gluten feed or gluteil 

 meal? 



Mr. Gurler: Glutfen feed. It would cost you more per pound of pro- 

 tein for the gluten meal. 



Mr. Dowd: What percentage of protein does it contain, if you know? 



Mr. Gurler: Twenty- five per cent. Now, the cheapest protein feed 

 was the byproduct from this whisky plant at Peoria. I buy protein there, 

 figuring the whole food on the protein at less than 4 cents a pound; about 

 3 7-10 cents. 



Mr. Wood: What is that food called, gluten meal? 



Mr. Gurler: No, they have a name for it. 



The Secretary: I move you appoint the committee on resolutions. 



Motion carried. 



EVENING SESSION. 



Wednesday, .January 21, 1903, 7:30 p. m. 

 The President: The first will be a. violin solo, by Miss Ross. 



Solo. Continued applause. 



The President: I guess we would be imposing on the young lady to 

 ask her to play further. We certainly ought to be satisfied with as fine 

 a piece of music as that. We will go on with our program. 



CREAM RIPENING IN THE FARM DAIRY. 



M. L. FISHER, LAFAYETTE. 



Prof. H. H. Wing, in his book on "Milk and Its Products," says that 

 "by the ripening process is meant all the treatment which the cream re- 

 ceives from tlie time it is separated from the milk imtil it is put into the 

 churn." Assuming this definition as a text, I shall attempt to tell how 

 cream is ripened at the University Farm Dairy. This method, however, 

 is not peculiar to the University dairy, but is, I think, applicable to any 

 farm dairy.
