22 ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 



Mr. Caven : — We feel there might be some present who 

 would like to become members of the association. 



By the President : — Their labors do not cease this morning, 

 but keep it up this afternoon, tomorrow and the next day. You 

 know "in union there is strength," and the more members we 

 have connected with us, the better results for all of us. 



By Mr. Caven : — I would add that the report of this meet- 

 ing, when published is first mailed to all members. 



Resolution Committee : 



Mr. Jos. Newman, Elgin, 111. 



Mr. Thomas Foster, Springfield, 111. 



Mr. Carl E. Lee, Urbana, 111. 



By the President: — This session this morning is intended 

 to be a preliminary session, and this afternoon the real work 

 of the convention begins. Among the speakers for this after- 

 noon is Prof. Erf of Ohio, who formerly was at our University 

 at Urbana; Prof. Fraser of the State University, and Prof. 

 Farrington of Wisconsin. Prof. Farrington recently spent a 

 year in Europe, and all of his time was spent in the dairy coun- 

 tries of Europe and he examined into the dairy conditions there. 

 He took a great many pictures of dairying in those countries, 

 and his lecture will be illustrated by views, and in order to show 

 those views to advantage Prof. Farrington will come last on the 

 program, and we will adjourn to the Gem Theatre. The pro- 

 prietor has kindly offered it to us for this lecture and the views 

 will be shown through their instrument, which will show off the 

 views to greater advantage, and it will be interesting for all of 

 you. Tonight the young men will probable be interested in 

 knowing that the society of Eagles have invited the members 

 to their dance. They assure us that they will have a committee 

 there to introduce us, and see that we have a good time. Some 

 of the older men will like that too, they are all welcome.
