Whereas, Many successful dealers are selling to the dairy-

 of the various feeds be prepared semi-annually, and be printed 

 at state expense for general distribution among the dairymen 

 and feeders of the state, and 



Resolved, That we, the dairymen of the state of Illinois, do 

 earnestly pray the present legislature to pass such needed legis- 

 lation as will require the printing on the bag, bucket or package 

 of the digestible constituents of all chopped, ground or mill 

 feeds and of all so-called stock and poultry foods which may be 

 offered for sale in the state of Illinois ; and 



Resolved, That all uncut hays, straw and fodder in their 

 natural condition, and that all whole grains, such as corn, oats, 

 barley, etc., shall be exempt from the provisions of the act, and 

 be it further 



Resolved, That the President is hereby instructed to appoint 

 a committee of three whose duty it shall be to investigate the 

 laws of other states and conditions in our own state; arrange a 

 bill to cover our needs and present same to the present legislature
