O : — Can you tell us how many cows you milked and how 

 much you got for your milk? 



A : — I can't, but two cows to a can of milk. 



O : — How many cows ? 



A : — Fifty cows in the dairy ; some fresh and some been 

 milking all summer. 



Mr. Glover : — Do you turn your cows out this cold weather 

 to get the corn stover from the field ? 



A : — Well I guess not. They are kept in the barn. You 

 can't be too careful. They are tender and want to be well 

 treated. They are turned out only a few minutes each day. 



O : — Can you give us something in the way of a month's 

 results so we would know what you got ? 



-Somewhere around $600.00. 



■How much for milk? 



-One dollar a can. Just about the same as you are do- 



ing here, I should judge. 



— One dollar and fifty-seven cents this month? 

 — One dollar and fifty-seven cents this month. 

 — Do you shred your fodder? 

 — A\'e cut it after husking it. 



-You mean eight gallon cans? 



: — Yes sir. 



A Member : — We use ten. 



A : — Is that so ? 



O : — How much corn and how much bran and how much of 

 that oil feed did you say? 



A : — My neighbor feeds 12 pounds shelled corn ground fine 

 and 4 pounds Hnseed meal that makes 16 and fine cut clover hay. 

 I feed 11 pounds of corn and cob meal ground fine and 7 pounds 

 bran and 2 pounds of oil meal, that makes 20 pounds, and 10 

 pounds clover hay each one of us feed. 



— \Miy do you prefer corn cut instead of shredded ? 

 — I think it works nicer in the manure for one thing. 

 — Do they eat it as well ? 

 — I think there is not much difference.
