ILLINOIS DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION". T"> 



Wednesday Morning, Jan. 11, 1905 



Meeting called to order by President Newman. 



The President : — We will first take up the address by 

 Professor Hart, which was left out last night. He will tell us 

 how the college of agriculture can help the butter and cheese- 

 maker. I know there are quite a few buttermakers and cheese- 

 makers in the audience this morning, and they will find this 

 subject very interesting. I would say before the gentleman 

 commences, he is one of our good men, who is going to leave us, 

 going down to Brazil. 



PROFESSOR HART, URBANA. 



Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: 



I am much pleased to be able to attend this convention of the 

 Illinois Dairymen's Association. It is the second convention 

 of this kind in this state that I have attended and it may be the 

 last, for as your President has already announced, I have been 

 tempted by the offer of a higher salary and a wider field of 

 work to go to Brazil, and I have yielded to that temptation, just 

 as -'»me of you might do under like conditions. As far as my 

 work here is concerned, I can say that I have been well treated 

 in every respect and that I leave with great regrets. In no way 



my work been limited, curtailed, interferred with or im- 

 paired, and I have had the utmost liberty to work inside the 

 lines laid out tor me when I started in this work in connection 

 with the State University and experiment station.
