ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN S ASSOCIATION 57 



C. C. Buell: Asked as to feeding- cows buttermilk, 

 and how fed. 



Mr, Lambert said buttermilk was not fit to feed to 

 cov/s ; if fed to one cow, her milk would spoil a batch of 

 4,000 pounds ; it took five pounds more to a hundred for 

 butter, when fed. 



Buell thought we must not draw too sudden conclu- 

 sions ; bran if fed alone made poor milk, but if mixed 

 with other feed it was good ; it might be so with buttermilk, 



W. W. Bingham: Thought soisr milk fed to cows 

 would affect butter. 



Mr. Lambert wanted to know how we could have our 

 milk come to the factory in better condition. But no one 

 seemed to know just how to do it. 



Topic No. 9 — " Should gross or net figures be given 

 at conventions ? " 



No one seemed to take interest in this question. The 

 discussion rambled over the entire dairy question. 



Lambert thought that cows when warm should not be 

 allowed to drink cold water. 



Mr. Patten said hot and cold milk should not be 

 mixed. 



Mr. Lambert said in Canada all milk wi s carried in 

 large cans, whiile small ones were used — each farmer 

 bringing his own milk. He liked this plan the best. 



Dr. Tefft inquired if any dairymen had experimented 

 — as keeping green corn.
