io6 Colcord's System of 



tigate. I find, with most of those having expe- 

 rience in feeding ensilage to milch cows, that 

 their testimony goes to prove that milk, when 

 first taken from the cows, seems to be, and is, 

 all right ; but when they ship it, and it is 

 often thirty-six hours old before it gets into the 

 hands of the consumer, then it has some- 

 thing offensive to it, and complaint is made at 

 once. We shipped last year 84,000 gallons ; 

 and I wish you would test the milk from the 

 use of your preserved forage, not only once, 

 but daily, for ten days, keeping it until it 

 sours, and having good tasters and smellers 

 to test it daily at different times, to see if any 

 offensive flavor or odor can be discovered. 



If the milk will stand this test, as ours 

 does, where we feed on corn meal, bran- mid- 

 dlings, cotton-seed meal, oatmeal, hay, and 

 corn fodder dried, then I think you are lucky, 

 because there then will be no objection to the 

 preserved green forage. 



Yours truly, 



ISAAC W. WHITE.
