28 ILLINOIS DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 



A. — It may be produced from many different sources. It is hard to 

 tell where the species come from. There are so many ways it can come 

 from. Of course, in one case it may come from one source, and in an- 

 other case it may come from another source. It could not be answered 

 definitely. 



Q. — Would like to learn something that would keep from getting it. 

 I know a thorough sterilization will help get rid of it, but where do you 

 get it? 



A. — Adopting the most cleanly methods is the best way to prevent 

 them getting into the milk. 



Q. — Mr. Glover: I am somewhat interested in the question of effect 

 of fed upon the different flavors of milk. This gentleman speaks in re- 

 gard to onions and turnips and in regard to silage. Our condensing fac- 

 tories do not allow them to feed it. 



A. — I think the reason they do not allow the farmers to feed silage 

 is because so very few men know how to put up silage in proper condi- 

 tion, and they do not know how to feed it. 



Q. — Ever have any experience in feeding rape? 



A. — Never had any experience with our farmers. 



Q. — In connection with condensing factories? 



A. — No one has ever tried it, sj cannot tell the effect on the milk 



Q. — What has been your experience in feeding heavy ration of corn 

 meal; what flavor do you get and what effect has it on the cow? 



A. — If the cow is fed up to the corn ration gradually it does not 

 affect the milk as far as we could learn. 



Q. — You can't feed too much corn if increased gradually? 



A. — Not with our farmers. It does not hurt if increased gradually. 



Q. — Ever had any experience with rye pasture; what flavor? 



A. — Rye pasture caused trouble in the spring. It is generally the 

 first pasture they have and the farmers are not particular enough to feed 

 up to this point gradually. If fed dry feed with rye and reduce dry feed 

 gradually and proportionately increase the rye we have little trouble. 

 Only have trouble when they jump into it too quickly.
