The use of any snch materials will get you into trouble and will of themselves prevent you from making high-grade milk. No feed that has an odor should be permitted to remain about the stables. You may set a vessel filled with milk in the silo for an hour; then if vou take it out and heat it. you can tell by the nose it has been in the silo. At the Vermont station we could heat tbe milk up to 110 degrees and by the smell tell whether it had been near a hog pen or not. In one case where the smell revealed the hog pen, we called for the man and told him that his milk smelt like a hog pen. He answered that he had to do his milking in a yard within fifty feet of a hog pen. He at once discontinued that prac- tice. Sow most of us do not realize the force of these points. It is hard for us to believe that milk will be contaminated in that way, to that extent. We can't make good butter with faulty milk. II we could onlv get the right kind of milk we could always make a butter that would score high. Sow as to silage. I think that wherever there is an odor of silage in the milk it shows that silage has been near it, that the odor has not come from silage eaten by the cow. but from the silage smell in the atmosphere of the stable. When I first began shipping milk to Chicago, I did not dare to feed silage to the cows. Then I tried feeding some lots on grain feed and others on part silage. I tried the milK on my family and found they could not dis- tinguish the difference. When I asked teem to point out the best milk, they selected the silage milk. One of the essential pointB in the pro- duction of good milk is to have good ven- tilation in the stables L
