256 ANNUAL REPORT. OF THE Off. Doc. 



Detrich is placed first on the program. We have had word that Mr. 

 Detrich expects to be here, but has not yet arrived, therefore, we 

 deem it best to proceed with the program, and Prof. T. I. Mairs, who 

 is placed on the program from 10.30 to 11.30, will kindly take the 

 place of the Rev. J. D. Detrich, hoping that he may arrive in time to 

 give his lecture a little later, probably this forenoon. 



I have word from Dr. Pearson that he expects to arrive this morn- 

 ing and fill his place upon the program. The two classes, Sections 

 A and B will meet in the same rooms as yesterday afternoon. In 

 Section B, Prof. R. L. Watts will have charge, the subject being 

 "Market Gardening," and Prof. H. A. Surface" also in Section 

 B, on the subject of ''Insect Preventives." Their addresses will be 

 given in room 121. Prof. Butz will lead the way to that room. All 

 interested in market gardening and insect preventives will repair to 

 that room at once. 



PROGRAM. SECTION A. 



The CHAIRMAN: As has been explained by Mr. Martin, owing 

 to the absence of Rev. Detrich, we will begin with Prof. Mairs. His 

 subject is "The Care of Milk and Butter." 



I now have the pleasure of introducing to you Prof. T. I. Mairs. 



PROF. MAIRS: Mr. Chairman: It would probably be presumptous 

 for me to attempt to tell any of you how to care for milk and butter^ 

 at least for me to attempt to tell some of you how to care for milk 

 and butter, as some of you have doubtless had more experience in 

 that line than I have had. I have, quite considerable written out 

 here which I hope not to read to you, because when I read an article 

 I feel more like a schoolboy reading an essay than anything else 

 and of course I imagine I look that way too, and I do not feel like 

 I am giving any instruction or that any one is getting proper bene- 

 fit out of it. , V 



There are a great many things which are to be considered in the 

 care of milk and butter, and I am able to touch upon only a very 

 few of these, and rather lightly upon those. 



Prof. Mairs then read the following paper:

VALUE OF MILK AS A FOOD. 



From the nature of milk, its use as a food is repulsive to many 

 people unless great care is used in handling it. Pure, fresh, sweet
