ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION 83 



Medals were given for the best milk. In rating that milk they 

 counted for flavor, clTJemical qualities, keeping qualities and 

 general appearance. They found bacteria all the way from 

 none at all to twenty-one million. How long did that milk 

 keep? Some was shipped over a thousand miles from points 

 in Massachusetts and Kansas. It was not scored until it was 

 three days old and it was sweet as a nut, and some kept for five 

 weeks. That is the whole trouble with our milk supply. It is 

 not clean. If we had clean milk there would be no trouble. 



Q : — Any butter fat and it kept for five weeks ? 



A : — Yes, indeed. Regular market milk. The percent of 

 fat ranged from 2.8 up to 7 per cent. The milk was supposed 

 to be average product sent to the market. 



I have 75 slides that I cannot show you, as they tell me 

 the lamp will not work. I thank you for your attention. 



By the President: — Will you favor us with a song Mr. 

 Lumbard. 



Song. Encored. 



By the President : — We have here another representative on 

 the city milk supply, Mr. Truman of the University of Illinois. 



FIELD WORK IN CITY MILK SUPPLY. 



By J. M. Truman, University of Illinois. 



Mr. President: 



Fortunately for me the hour is late. The lecture I had to 

 give was to have been illustrated, but we have an excellent excuse 

 for making my talk short, and a cause of thankfulness to you. 



I am glad to say a word about this question. I am one of 

 those who believe that we are not doing all this work on our farms 

 and with our cows, and selling milk, simply to get money. I 

 hope we do these things for the friends we have and for the 

 loved ones we have. You would not milk cows or do anything
