4^ Illinois State Dairymen's Association. 



The Secretary. — If the members of the Illinois Butter- 

 makers' Association will wait a little while, the Secretary, Mr. 

 J. B. Newman, wishes to meet them. There is plenty of time 

 to hold a short session of that association here this afternoon. 



I also wish to call your attention to the excellent program 

 we have for this evening. Professor Lee of the University of 

 Illinois, Professor Erf from Ohio, and Mr. Nelson of Camp 

 Point are on for addresses and the music will be furnished by Mr. 

 Lumbard, whom most of you know. To those who do not know 

 him, I will simply say that he is a man eighty- years old. lie was 

 famous in war times with his brother Frank as a member of 

 what was known as the Lincoln Quartette, a quartette that sang 

 during the Lincoln-Douglas campaign. He is a famous singer, 

 a fine old man, and he will sing for us tonight, as will the Ma- 

 rengo High School Glee Club and the Marengo Quartette. 



The address tomorrow morning will be by Mr. O. C. Gregg, 

 Superintendent of Farm Institutes in Minnesota. Mr. Gregg \6 

 a breeder of dairy cattle from a practical standpoint; he is a 

 fai:mer, like a good many others, a dairy farmer. He is a 

 thorough believer in raising his own dairy cows and he has had 

 an experience that extends over thirty-five years and I hope he 

 will have a large attendance of dairymen here to listen to him 

 tomorrow. 



The main feature tomorrow night is the banquet, which is 

 to be given by three church societies of Marengo. This is an 

 entertaining feature of your convention and we hope to see you 

 all in attendance. 



Meeting adjourned.
