98 ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 



Mr. Carr: As one of the sons of the gentleman you speak of I would 

 say that we never worked until 12 o'clock Saturday night. "We never had 

 to. If the farmers brought the mHk at any time at all, all we had to do 

 was to separate the cream and watch the separator, and I presume 10 

 o'clock would invariably see the m ready to go in. I don't think we have 

 a man who would rather work any other way than to do it Saturday 

 night They don't have to skim it or churn it on the Sabbath day. As I 

 said before, they have to take care of it. 



Mr. Johnson: If they have to skim it and take it to the milk house 

 that is as much work as to put it in the cans and take it to the factory. 



A. Is it any more to put it in the cans to cool than to go to the 

 factory, probably it needs more ca re than it does to go to the factory. 



Q. Yes sir, it is more care, you have got to have beside water, you 

 have got to have ice. 



A. You might have to have a windmill. I don't believe Mr. Johnson 

 believes what he is talking about. 



Mr. Johnson: I avoid Sunday work. I have taken my milk in and 

 allowed my churning to wait. 



Mr. Carr: Why not take it in Saturday night? 



A. Because the men have to work too hard Monday morning. 



Mr. President: Isn't it a fact that Monday you get a lot of poor, bad 

 milk? 



Mr. Duell: Not very often, not where they have taken care of it. At 

 first there is some trouble; but we have none now at our own creamery. 

 We get milk Saturday night and Monday morning. 



Mr. President: We have two factories. We don't run Sunday for the 

 reason the people won't bring the milk Sunday. 



Mr. Carr: I remember one place where we just simply said we woul-1 

 not run on the Sabbath day. We said the factory would not run if ve 

 never got a pound of milk, and the facts in the case are that we never lose 

 a pound of milk. The patrons would rather take in fourteen extra cans of 

 milk Monday morning than go on Sunday.
