Proceedings of the 31st Annual Report 



OF THE 



Illinois "Dairymen's 

 Association 



Held at Rockford, III., Jan. 10, 11, 12, 1905 



The Illinois Dairymen's Association met in annual session 

 in the hall at Rockford, January 10, 1905, at 1 :30 p. m. 



President Joseph Newman in the chair. 

 The President : — 



It is very unfortunate that our sessions this year conflict 

 with the Farmers' Institute of this section, which is holding meet- 

 ings at this time in Metropolitan hall across the river. However, 

 the institute does not hold evening meetings, so we expect our 

 meeting will be crowded tonight. They have a very interesting 

 and noted speaker from New York, Professor Cook, who holds 

 them this afternoon. 



We will now open the thirty-first annual meeting of the 

 Illinois Dairymen's Association and, as usual, we will commence 

 with prayer, by Rev. Mr. Bodman.
