ciency; for his assistants he has Mr. Hayden and Mr. Hopper, 

 with part of Chief Fraser's time; for the number of students 

 this should be an ample force to give the best of training. As it 

 i ec« »mes older and better known, we hope to see the Dairy De- 

 partment crowded. 



Should Revise Cheesemaking. 



YYe trust the work in cheese making will revive the manu- 

 facture of that sadly neglected article in our state and should 

 advise going deeper into that study, for quite a little interest is 

 developing in the northwest corner of the state in making differ- 

 ent kinds of what we call foreign cheese, namely : Swiss, Lim- 

 burger, Brick, Premost and the different cream cheeses. Some 

 are comparing very favorably with the imported kind. I do not 

 wish to be understood that by giving some attention to this, that 

 we should neglect the larger interests, namely, butter and city 

 milk supply ; all these interests can be helped best by faithful and 

 consistent field work, by good men going from point to point, 

 giving sufficient time at each place to accomplish something. 



I believe the work clone by Prof. Glover and Prof. Lee and 

 Prof. Hopper worth more to the state than that accomplished at 

 the school. I do not say what importance the practical Dairymen 

 of the state view that part of the work and we had hoped from 

 the appropriation secured from the last legislature. Dean Daven- 

 port could see his way clear to put a nfan permanently in Southern 

 Illinois besides Air. Hopper's work near St. Louis and then put 

 the whole field work in Prof. Glover's charge. The extra $10,000 

 dairy appropriation was asked for that purpose. We shall, un- 

 doubtedly, hear from our committee why this was not possible. 

 I cannot describe to you just how I felt when I knew that we 

 were to lose Prof. Glover from our field work. A more honest, 

 fearless, faithful, efficient worker, and one who loves his work, 

 I do not expect to meet, and the only balm to my feelings was 

 the fact that we will get the benefit of his future work if we will 

 only take the best dairy paper in the world, " Hoard's Dairyman."
