ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 223 



Mr. Gurler: "Where you fed this butter fat out was by feeding a food 

 that caused the cows to give more milk. A less percentage of fat in that 

 milk than if you got a smaller amount. 



Q. In other words in Elgin they would not allow them to feed corn 

 cob meal. 



A. I never heard of such a thing. I guess they are a little off. 



Mr. Cobb: I would like to ask the farmers in this convention if it 

 will pay me to pay a man $20.00 a month and provide wagons to haul ma- 

 nure over rock roads, and then what kind of land to put it on. The ma- 

 nure costs only the hauling. Will it pay me to do that, and what land 

 shall I put it on? 



M. Jones: If he is making fancy butter, don't put his manure on 

 pasture land. 



Mr. Soverhill: I am thinking it is pretty good practice to preach 

 what you practice. I live one and one-half miles from town and I don't 

 think it pays to haul manure that far. I get it from the farm. 



H. B. Breed: I bought twenty acres of pasture land in Knox county 

 and by drawing manure out to the ground from Galesburg on that land 

 I have been offered since $10.00 an acre rent for that same land. It paid 

 me at that time to draw manure. 



The convention then adjourned.
