STATE DAIRY ASSOCIATION. 635 



an'l thinking- along that line, by the time they get up to my age there 

 will be nobody in this country looking down on them; every profession 

 will be looking up to them, and they will think, "You are tlie lords of 

 creation," and you will be— but you have got to put your mind into it. 



Mr. Slater: I have attended a great many dairj' meetings. I have 

 been in daii-y meetings in Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota, but I never 

 attended a meeting that was of more interest than this meeting has 

 been. In Iowa and Minnesota and Wisconsin they may have different 

 methods and may be further advanced in butter making, but what were 

 they ten years ago? They could not compare with you today ten years 

 ago. You have climate here that beats ours all to pieces, and you have 

 better Avater here. We have no such water in Wisconsin. What you 

 want to be careful in is Avhen you get a good l)Utter maker and good 

 dairyman, don't let him go, like Minnesota has with Professor McKay. 

 Some of the best butter makers Minnesota have we stole from Professor 

 McKay. We have stole so many of them we think we can beat Iowa any 

 time. 



Mr. Schlosser: I would like to ask Mr. Slater if he considers one- 

 sixth a large overrun of butter? 



Mr. Slater: Yes, I would consider it large. That is pretty heavy. 



Mr. Wood: 1 would like to make the report of the Auditing Commit- 

 tee. We examined tlie report of tlie Secretary and found it correct, and 

 I move that it be adopted. 



Motion carried. 



Mr. Sclilosser: 1 liave nnother n^sohition prepared: 



Whereas, There are funds needed for immediate use by the Legislative 

 Committee, therefore I move you that the Secretary of this Association 

 mail a request to each and every creamery and cheese factory in the State, 

 also to such infiuenlial private dairymen as he may know, asking for an 

 immediate contiMbution of .$.") each for the use of the IvCgislative Com- 

 mittee. 



liesohition adopted. 



AFr. (Jurler: I worked for several years with the Illinois Legislature, 

 and 1 want to say this, you need to send some one down there to get in 

 touch with the n!eml)ers of the Legislature, and it is not right to send a 

 committee down there and expect them to pay their own expenses. They 

 work for you and you want to pay the expenses.
