J ILI^INOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 69 



Mr. Judd: John Gould says that forty pounds of ensil- 

 age to nine pounds of gluten meal is his ration, and he says 

 that it does the business for him. 



Mr. Johnson: What does he mean by gluten meal? 



Mr. Judd: It is dried brewers' grain, as I understand it. 



Mr. Footh: No, there are two kinds; there is one that 

 comes from the glucose and starch factories and there is an- 

 other kind that goes under the name of grano-gluten. One 

 is a good deal richer in proteine than the other. That from 

 the starch or gluten factories is the best. 



Chicago, Feb. 24, 1897. 

 ilfr. J". E. Monrad, Secretary: 



My Dear Sir: I regret very much that I am unable to 

 attend your meeting, owing to a press of business, which was 

 unforeseen. I am fully aware of the fact that I am the loser, 

 but it can not be helped. 



You know my views on the silo question. I do not hesi- 

 tate to say that from my experience with and without a silo, 

 that I am in favor of maturing corn, husking and shredding 

 as against the silo. Very trulv vours, 



JOHN BOYD.
