130 ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 



Phil Haner. He has given his time, his own money without 

 measure, except that he wants to see the live stock business get 

 ahead. Other states have gotten ahead and why not ours ? Every 

 dairyman who owns any cows or expects to stay in the dairy 

 business should go to that meeting in Springfield in February to 

 help boost in numbers at least, if you are only there for a little 

 while, so that when Mr. Haner, or your representatives of the 

 dairy school or the experimental station ask funds to carry on 

 the development of the dairy interests that we will have some- 

 thing back of us to go on and see the Legislature ; this will help 

 us to have a better chance to get what we want. 



With men like Mr. Haner and Dr. Peters, we have a strong 

 board and you ought to make every effort to be there and post 

 yourselves at the secretary's office and help Dr. Peters and my- 

 self in the judging contest at that Breeders' Association meet- 

 ing. Any man who has had any college education, a two or a 

 four weeks' course or any education in judging cows can enter 

 and pull off good prizes. They are better than you have ever had 

 offered to you in any contest. 



Springfield will have room for you and everything is being 

 done to have this both an interesting and instructive meeting. 



I take pleasure in introducing Dr. Peters. He needs no 

 introduction; he has spoken to us before. There is no one bet- 

 ter posted on veterinary subjects in our state and we are happy 

 to have him with us today. He will speak to you on "Diseases 

 of the Udder." 



(Dr. Peters reads his paper.) 



Member: How do you make bismuth ointment? 



Dr. Peters : 2 parts powdered bismuth to about 10 parts 

 vaseline. You put your vaseline on a piece of glass and then 

 your bismuth and mix thoroughly ; sometimes you can add a little 

 arnica or belladonna.
