ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN S ASSOCIATION. 2/ 



C. H. Larkin : Knew nothing about it at all. Had 

 no definite figures to give. His neighbor, Judge Wilcox, 

 had made experiments. Hoped he would be here. 



C. C. BuELL had supplemented his pasture by feeding 

 clover. After second growth often fed rye and corn. 



C. H. Larkin : Did you feed it as a matter of neces- 

 sity or for profit ? 



BuELL : Fed it for profit. 



Dr. Tefft : Said the French farmers made more 

 money than we from their land and dairies. Many only 

 used ten acres ; and upon these small tracts, highly culti 

 vated, they supported large families; and even laid up 

 money. But economy, of course, had to be practiced. 



Mr. Johnson : Doubted if fancy farming paid. 



On motion of R. P. McGlincy, the Chair appointed E. 

 H. Seward, W, W. Bingham and Benj. Cox as a financial 

 committee. 



On motion, adjourned to meet at 9 a. m. to-morrow 

 morning.
