^^^ Illinois State Dairymen s Association. 



Resolved, That we favor the adoption of the score card sys- 

 tem as used by the United States department in the examination 

 of stables and dairies in the state, and the publication of a bulle- 

 tin showing scoring of all plants examined. 



Whereas, We notice, in the public press of Chicago, the 

 price of milk in Chicago has been raised to 8c per quart, and 



Whereas, They assume this is too high a price to pay for 

 clean, bottled milk, therefore be it 



Resolved, That we, the dairy farmers, in annual convention, 

 assembled, hereby 



Resolve, That, considering the price of feed, help, dairy 

 cows and the extra care demanded, the price to the dairy farmer 

 must be raised to compensate him for his investment and ex- 

 pense. 



Resolved, That the thanks of this association be, and are 

 hereby, tendered to the members of the general assembly and 

 senate for the enlarged appropriation, which will allow us to 

 reach more people with the dairy gospel. 



Resolved, That the work done at the state fair by this asso- 

 ciation, in connection with the dairy department of the univer- 

 sity, should be continued and premiums given for dairy cattle, 

 milk and cream, as well as for butter and cheese. 



Resolved, That the thanks of this association be, and are 

 hereby, tendered to Mr. A. O. Auten for his assistance and hear- 

 ty support at the state fair and for his interest in dairying and 

 dairymen generally. 



Resolved, That we especially thank the ladies of the church 

 societies of Marengo for the banquet served Wednesday evening, 

 Jan. 15, and wish to praise them for their splendid management 

 of this affair and the excellence of the food served and assure 

 them that we regard this banquet as the most pleasing feature 

 of this convention. 



Resolved, That the cheese interest of the state should re- 

 ceive more attention and suitable premiums be offered at our 

 meetings, and we would recommend a special meeting of the 

 association be held in the cheese district when the directors shall 

 deem it most convenient and opportune. 



Whereas, At all our conventions the dealers in dairy pro- 

 ducts and supplies have always treated us generously, therefore 

 be it
