THIRTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL CONVENTION. 121 



Wednesday Afternoon, Jan. 18, 1911. 



President Wiggins: Tomorrow morning Dean H. L. Rus- 

 sell, Wisconsin College, Dr. John Scott of Peoria, and Dr. W. J. 

 Fraser, Chief Dairy Department of the State University, will 

 hold the postmortem on the cattle that are to be killed. I am 

 sure none can afford to miss it. They will start at 9 :30 and 

 all those who desire to pass opinion on those cows can see them 

 before 9 :30 or up to the time we start to slaughter them. 



One feature of that test that I have in mind is to see how 

 many can pick out the reacters and non-reacters by physical in- 

 spection. I hear many say they can. If any of you feel that 

 way I would like to have you hand in a piece of paper and mark 

 on it the number of oows that you think are reacters and those 

 that are not. For your own personal satisfaction after slaughter- 

 ing you can see how near right you are. I feel that point should 

 not be overlooked, making up your own minds as near as possi- 

 ble, whether or not you are capable of picking out these reacting 

 cows or not. 



This afternoon we have an interesting program. We have 

 the pleasure of hearing from Mr. Dorman, who will speak to us 

 on Silo Construction and the Use of Ensilage. I have the pleas- 

 ure of introducing Mr. Dorman.
