222 ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 



Mr. Hostetter: I don't believe it is best for one man to always haul 

 the milk to the factory. 



Mr. Monrad: Mr. Hostetter's objection is good, and I don't think it is 

 best either. It is easier for the farmers to take turns hauling. One 

 farmer hauling a certain number of neighbors' milk for a time and then 

 another, in that way the butter maker will see the different farmers during 

 the season. 



Mr. Ikert: Can any system or arrangement be made whereby teams 

 and men delivering milk to a creamery would not have to wait more than 

 ten minutes for other patrons, ami get their own new skim milk? 



Mr. Carr: That is almost impossible tG overcome. If the patrons of 

 a creamery all brought their own milk, and the man would skim it as fast 

 as he could empty it, they would have to wait a little anyway. Ten minutes 

 is too short. In some creameries where we have got five or six loads that 

 come a long distance, they will all hustle and try to get in ahead and will 

 not wait, consequently they are all there in a bunch. They must take 

 their turn and some will have to wait a while, for we have got to separate 

 the milk. 



Mr. Hopkins: There is only one way, and that would be to have the 

 patrons come in as you would have a railroad train, come in on schedule 

 time; have a certain time for each hauler, and I have no idea it can be 

 done, but that is the only way. 



Mr. Monrad: Wouldn't it be practicable to have a skim milk tank 

 that was very nice and clean and pasteurize the skim milk and deliver the 

 previous day's milk. 



Mr. Hopkins: You could not do it without some one having to wait. 



Mr. Monrad: That's right. 



A Member: What effect does the corn cob meal have on the quality of 

 milk — that is, where they grind the cob and meal together. 



Prof. Fraser: I am afraid I cannot answer that question very well. 

 The coarse corn meal is not a very good feed for milk production. If you 

 are going to feed corn or corn cob meal, I prefer the latter. 



Mr. Gurler: What did you feed before you fed this corn cob meal? 



A. Corn and oats and sueh things. Fed corn cob meal and oats 

 together in bran. They argued to me th-at I could feed butter fat out and 

 not in. That was news to me.
