possible, on account of their duties, for those gentlemen to 

 be present at any other time. Their subjects and the men 

 are worthy of your attention. The subject, as you will see 

 from the program, is " The Storrs Agricultural Experiment 

 Station, and its Work in Dairying." I understand they have 

 been doing some original work in this line up there, and that 

 they wish to present before this Convention the results of 

 their labors. I hope we shall have a prompt and full attend- 

 ance. 



The President. I second that most heartily. The Con- 

 vention will now stand adjourned till 2 o'clock. 



AFTERNOON SESSION. 



Thursday, December 19th, 2 p. m. 



Convention called to order at 2 p. m., Vice-President 

 Seeley in the chair. 



The President. Now if you will please come to order 

 Dr. Atwater is ready to give us his address. A gentleman 

 as well known as Dr. Atwater of our Connecticut Experiment 

 Station hardly needs introducing, but it is still a great pleas- 

 ure to me to introduce to this audience now Dr. W. O. At- 

 water of Middletown. 



THE STORRS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STA- 

 TION AND ITS WORK IN DAIRYING. 



By Dr. W. O. Atwater. 



Mr. Chairman, and Ladies and Gentlemen: I am to speak 

 to you this afternoon of the Storrs Experiment Station and 

 its work. In so doing I desire to tell you something of the 

 history of the Station, its organization, its past and present 

 work, and its plans for the future. First of all, however, 

 allow me a few words about the experiment stations in 

 general.
