374 MISSOURI AGRICULTURAL REPORT. 



ness destiny, with the assurance that to each intelligent and kindly act 

 on our part, in her behalf, she will respond most bountifully. Nor let us 

 fail to woo her by our most bewitching, considerate and intelligent care 

 and attention, and she will yield to us abundantly of her golden riches. 



Permit me, in conclusion, to say that that person must indeed be 

 in a "maze of calf-paths" in his thinking who fails to realize that the 

 business of modern dairying calls forth in multitudinous ways those 

 intellectual activities in the tillage of the soil, the selection, breeding, feed- 

 ing and rearing of the dairy herd, the manufacturing and marketing of 

 the dairy products, that develop a strong intellectual manhood ; and that 

 any large success in the very nature of the case calls into constant 

 activity those kind, considerate, attentive, unselfish, benevolent acts that 

 cultivate and strengthen the moral nature; and that the successful doing 

 of all these things brings into activity man's will powers, and all this tends 

 to the evolution of a high type of manhood, which should be the ultimate 

 end of human effort. 



DISCUSSION. 



Mr. Marple — What do you do in your state when you find a man 

 reading the test too low? 



Mr. Emery— Well I will tell you what we do. We are trying to 

 improve all the while. We begun only two years ago. It was my own 

 experience as a patron of a creamery that caused me to use my efforts 

 in securing the passage of a bill making it a misdemeanor to in any 

 way falsely manipulate the Babcock test and to under-read or over-read 

 that machine. We got the bill passed. It is not so easy to enforce it in 

 this country. When we send out men to make tests we find they will 

 vary. When we investigate and find a man reading the test too low we 

 warn him what the law is. Usually when they know we have the power 

 to enforce the law, and that we are making investigations to see that 

 the testing is done properly, the corrections are made at once. 



Mr. Marple — Have you ever had any trouble in having the test 

 read too high? 



Mr. Emery — Yes, that is just as great an offense as reading it too 

 low. When we learn of this being done in the creameries we send out 

 men to investigate, and usually they are successful in convincing them 

 of the error of their way — but it is a great work. We are improving 

 in it — we have not reached the millcnium by any means, hut wc are 

 working towards it. 



Mr. Clark — What kind of a stall would you recommend? 



Mr- Emery — There are quite a variety of stalls. There is the
