122 ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 



These books here are the only report the association gets 

 out every year. This is largely the report of the proceedings 

 of the convention last year at Marengo. We would be very 

 well pleased if each one of you would take one of these books 

 and look it over. You are welcome to take it home and read it 

 and hand it to your neighbor, or do what you please with it. 

 We have quite a number of these reports, and you will find some 

 valuable matter in them. 



A photographer came here a little while ago and wanted 

 to take a picture this afternoon, when he can get the largest num- 

 ber here. No one is obliged to buy them. 



This afternoon's session will commence at 1 :30, or as near 

 that as we can. I wish some of you who are well acquainted 

 locally would get as many of the farmers here as possible this 

 afternoon. The subjects will be interesting, and I am sure that 

 it will be of especial interest to listen to Mr. Shilling, who runs 

 a big dairy farm in Iowa. He will talk on silos and ensilage. 



Adjourned until 1 :30 p. m.
