CORN-FODDER FOR MILK. 29 



to fail, she will accumulate fat, and the stimulus to the bag 

 will not be so strong as to produce garget ; but in the earlier 

 stages she is liable to have garget brought on by the extra 

 tendency to heat towards the udder. 



Question. "What is the best remedy for garget ? 



Mr. Arnold. Well, to remove the cause. 



Question. Have you had any experience in feediug cotton- 

 seed meal? 



Mr. Arnold. No, sir. 



Question. Where do you place green corn-fodder in com- 

 parison with grass or early-cut hay, in increasing or reducing 

 the quality or quantity of milk? 



Mr. Arnold. Well, grass is the best. Grass will make 

 more milk. I do not know that it will make any more pounds 

 of milk than corn, but it will make as many pounds and of 

 better quality. I should have to make a calculation to an- 

 swer as to the ratio. 



Question. Would you advise the raising of corn-fodder? 



Mr. Arnold. Most certainly I would. 



Question. Both dry and greeu ? 



Mr. Arnold. Yes, sir. 



Question. Can as much cream be obtained from milk in a 

 deep vessel as in a shallow one ? 



Mr. Arnold. Yes, sir, you can get it all in either case, 

 provided you make the circumstances right. 



Mr. Ellsworth. If milk should be set six inches deep 

 and scalded at one hundred and thirty degrees, in which way 

 would you get the most cream, by cooling it down to sixty, 

 or by letting the heat go away of itself ? 



Mr. Arnold. You will get all the cream in either case, 

 but you will get it quicker by letting the heat die down of its 

 own accord. 



Mr. Ellsworth. Which would be the best for making the 

 milk into cheese afterwards ? 



Mr. Arnold. It would make but little difference, I think. 

 The cheese from the heated milk will appear a little richer, 

 and cure a little sooner. 



Mr. Root. I would like to ask two questions touching the 

 keeping of milk. What is the best way to keep milk before 

 it is delivered at the factory after it is drawn from the
