98 ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 



Mr. Newman : I move that the report be accepted. The 

 president is somewhat embarrassed because his name is on this 

 list. 



Is the election in order now? I make a motion that we 

 suspend the rules and vote by acclamation. 



Motion carried. 



Member : I move that we vote on the ticket recommended 

 by the committee. 



Motion carried and ticket named by committee elected by 

 unanimous vote. 



President : Mr. Caven, will you read Professor E. H. Web- 

 ster's paper of Manhattan, Kansas. 



♦Mr. Caven : It is unfortunate that Mr. Webster is not here. 

 Some of you who are here remember Mr. Webster who is Dean 

 of the Agricultural College of Kansas. He is an excellent speak- 

 er and one of the most progressive men in the country and he 

 would have been here but he is under a doctor's care. I am sor- 

 ry that he is not here for he is such an interesting talker and can 

 answer questions in any line of dairy work. His subject for dis- 

 cussion was ''Quality and How to Secure It." and I will now 

 read it. 



THE HAND SEPARATOR. 



President : The next address on our program is the "Prac- 

 ticability of the Hand Separator" by Mr. Fredericks of Elgin, but 

 he is not here although we will open up that discussion. Mr. 

 Newman will you talk to us about that. 



Mr. J. B. Newman : Mr. President, there are hand separator 

 gentlemen here in the audience that are more important to hear 

 from than I am. This Association has in mind the accomplishing 

 of the same end, grading up the butter made in this State. I have 

 not figured up what would be the increased return to this State
