■come along and clean up all the corn and I let it lie till I can go 

 in and take and scoop out as nice manure as you ever saw. 



Mr. Newman: Was the feeding done at the World's Fair 

 done under that system.'' 



* The Chairman: No, it was not. They fed their ground grain 

 almost entirely. Without doubt they were feeding to produce 

 the best results; I do not think they fed a kernel of corn. 



Mr. Boyd: They did not feed any whole feed of any kind ex- 

 cept hay. 



The Chairman: They probably were the best feeders in 

 this country, at least they knew what would produce results. 



Mr. Stewart: They fed regardless of expense, though. 



Mr. Murphy: I would like to say a word as voucher for Mr. 

 Judd's system, after about four years of nearly the same system, 

 which I have followed very closely; I have been to Mr. Judd's 

 and seen his place, his stock, etc. , and they look well. I have 

 not fed any grain for four years. I used to carry my grain to 

 mill and have it ground, but I do not think it pays at all to pay 

 five cents and upwards for grinding any more. I have had 

 better success since I followed this system than ever before. 



Mr. Judd: There are lots of young men who do not have 

 help, they think they must have about one man to ten cows. If 

 a young man marries and his wife is accustomed to milking, 

 those two can handle a dairy of thirty cows under this system as 

 well as they can a dozen; they can breed those cows so that 

 they have about twelve at a time. If a young man has got back 

 bone and a little grit, he can go out and buy a good farm and 

 start up with this system of feeding and follow that thing up 

 carefully and pay for the farm at the same time. 



The Chairman: It seems to me so strange that there have 

 not more men adopted that system. On the Fox river where 

 they are making milk their entire business, I do not think you 

 will find one that is feeding whole grain. They commenced in. 

 that way because they didn't have machines to grind, but they 

 have changed from it. 



Mr. Judd: There are lots of folks that think a thing isn't 

 worth anything unless they put lots of expense into it.
