FIFTY-FIRST ANNUAL CONVENTION 73 



I don*t think it would be injurious. Here is the point to 

 observe : Be sure you have got calcium limestone. 



Question: What about hydrated lime? 



Mr. Caldwell : It is a very strong lime. I think it 

 should be made available slower. 



Another thing: In buying bone meal, buy a perfectly 

 sterilized bone meal and be sure not to carry infection into 

 your herd through the use of a mineral matter such as raw 

 bone meal. 



Mr. O'Hair: Professor made one bad mistake in his 

 talk. He said that it was a mistake to use oleomargarine. 



Now, the next speaker needs no introduction. He has 

 been introduced a good number of times since he has been 

 here. 



Mr. Van Pelt: Ladies and Gentlemen: You people 

 for the most part have sat here very patiently and we have 

 had a wonderful program and have heard a lot of benefi- 

 cial things. You have just sat here patiently and I sympa- 

 thize with you. 



It reminds me of a little fellow in our town who went 

 to get his tooth pulled and his two little friends waited out- 

 side. The boys heard his yell when the tooth was pulled 

 and bragged about their being able to stand the pain with- 

 out yelling. 



He said : ''Well, it didn't hurt me. That is my tooth 

 in my hand." 



One little boy said: ''What are you going to do with 

 it?" 



"I am going to pour syrup on it," he replied, and watch 

 it ache." (Laughter). 



So much has been said about the feeding, breeding 

 and management of dairy cattle and I have sat here listen- 

 ing to it all, not daring to miss one word. 



I am in a very peculiar position. I am left to say any- 

 thing I want to say and I do not know of anything that has 

 not been said.
