SIXTH SESSION 

 TiirRSDAY, 2 p. M., December 12 



Meeting called to order by ]\Ir. S. B. Tvichardson, of Lowville,

^lu. If iciiARDSox : Ladies and Gentlemen: The criticism of 

 the audiences that we have generally had at our annual meetings 

 of this association has been that we did not get people enough in 

 to hear the papers and discussions. I think this convention in this 

 regard is an exception to the rule and I am very much gratified 

 to see the continued large attendance that we have had. It has 

 been continuous from the first session until now, and I have no 

 doubt will continue to tlie end. 



AVe have with us to-day a gentleman who has had much, to do 

 with the dairy interests of the west, and you know we hear very 

 much about what the western people are doing along dairy lines, 

 and we hear very much and feel considerably the competition 

 that they are putting up to us in the old Empire State. We are 

 especially fortuinite to-day in having with us Prof. Hugh G. Yan 

 Pelt, editor of Kimball's Dairy Farmer, at Waterloo, Iowa. 

 Prof. Yan Pelt will now address us upon the " Feeding of Dairy 

 Cows for Great and Economical Milk Production." After bis 

 address the meeting will be yours. It gives me great pleasure 

 to introduce Prof. Yan Pelt.
