J. A. Piersol, of Monroe City, Mo-, started 8
discussion on the best methods Of running

method was the collection of cream, as here
the skim-mik modes could not be utilized. BY

When the Convention assemble in the aft.
ernoOn, Mr.. ampbel read an essay on En-
Stage. His argument was favorable to thu
cnsiiage system.
There was a short discussion on the subject,
which was led by Mr.. Sawyer. of Illinois. and
Prof. Sanborne. Mr.. Sawyer had tried en-
silage and had the fever badly, as he ssid. He
thought the feed was better than anything but
Nay and June grasses. His COWS had given 20
pounds of milk day. and the butter result
Ing was Z21s or % pounds a week " lille he was
not feeding ensiage- The increase of milk
was nearly One-half when he began feeding
The stock of the silo, but the increase of but
ter was only three pounds. Prof. Sanborne
said the cost was too great for the result
Hon. Hiram Smith, of Sheboygau Falls,
Wis, had paper on implements used in the
industry. He prefaced his address, saying
that he was not the advocate of any patent.
He had read of the Convention and came to
see what was being done in Missouri.
St. Louis is the largest market Wisconsin has,
and Sheboygan County alore sends Sl50000
worth year of dairy products TO this city. If
Missouri is going to be dairy State she would
he Il strong competitor of Wisconsin.
Mr. douglass, Of JEFF on County, spoke of
the Manufacturing of butter from sweet cream.
A co respondent of his at Brookine, Mass,
made butter from sweet cream and got s., 25
pound for it MIR. Havemeyer v as accustomed

butter and he had 100 COWS, all Jerseys. Mr..
smith continued advising the packing of but

Mr. Chas. Cabanne, Of St. Louis, read pa
per on the Best method of supplying cities
with milk. He said nearly all the milk sold
in St. Louis is produced from cows in this city
or within mile OF its limits. The milk from
these COWS can be sold cheaper IN this city
than the milk produced upon farms so far
from the city that the milk has to be shipped
n by rail. Every day there is shipped into st.
Louis 800 gallons, Chicago receives 1000 gal
'ons and New York llO,O00. He showed the
Jiticultes of the delivery in the city and end
ed his paper by saying: We have analysed
samples of milk sold by deliverers of milk here
as pure unskimmed milk that contained but
ten per cent. of solids, while it should have
obtained not less than 121a per cent. and
might have contained l412 per cent. of solids.
An average of 1874 per cent. of solids can rsa-
SOnably be demanded by the buyer IN this mar
ket during this winter. Now the poneyed
cent. and IL per cent. in solids is over p per
cent. In London, England, if the percentage
OF solids is not up TO ll.5 and 2.5 of fat the
dealer is prosecuted for adulteratiOn.
Prof. Sanborne said that the London stand
ards were too high, as he had seen analyses of
milk from healthy cows that showed nine per
cent. of solids, Pure milk varies in its solids,
but the failure of milk in unaly Sis to come up
