172 ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION 



going to milk cows from the dairyman's standpoint, there is 

 one way to make money, and that is to have the best cows you 

 can breed and produce and then feed those all a good feed and 

 a good properly balanced ration, and get everything out of them 

 you can, and take good care of them. You will find a wonderful 

 difference out of a cow fed all she will eat and good care taken 

 of her and one with no particular care. If you are going to 

 push them, have a cow with good capacity and constitution or 

 they cannot stand it. I mean fully matured animals. The only 

 way to make money is to push her for all she is worth, of course, 

 within reason. If you get a really effective cow and do that 

 way, there is more money in the dairy business than we realize 

 yet. There is a gentleman here who will bear me out. He is 

 making 50 cans of milk every day along now on 280 acres of 

 land. What kind of cow is he milking and feeding to do that? 

 If J. P. Mason is here, let him talk. 



RESOLUTIONS AND NOMINATIONS. 



By the President: — We have some very important business 

 to transact now. 



We will listen to the report of the Committee on Resolu- 

 tions. The partial report has been made. 



Mr. Kimsey: — We gave a partial report yesterday, but 

 for the benefit of those who did not hear them we have recapitu- 

 lated them here. 



RESOLUTIONS. 



Resolved, That a committee of three be appointed by the 

 President on legislation, of which the President shall be the 

 chairman. Said committee to look after the appropriations 

 needed by the Illinois Dairymen's Association, and all other 

 matters affecting the dairy industry of the state that may, or 

 should, be presented to the present General Assembly. 



The success of the work of this Association, not alone in 

 this thirty-third annual convention, but in the year's work of 

 the Association as well, has depended in no small measure uponj 

 the individual work of its officials; therefore appreciating the] 

 untiring and unselfish labor of President Wiggins and Secretary!
