ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 5 9 



Borden, president of the Illinois Condesing Co., going to 

 the stable of one of his patrons and examining the milk- 

 strainer. As soon as he smelled it he threw it as far as he 

 could. Of course the patron was provoked, but Mr. Bor- 

 den told him that he would get him a new one. After that 

 the man brought good, clean milk, for he knew Borden to 

 be a man of his word, and he had told him that if he 

 brought impure milk again he would get rid of him. If all 

 our milk was so handled we could make good cheese. He 

 would never allow a man to take a particle of cream off 

 the milk. If he bought the milk, he bought the whole. 

 If he found a man watering his milk he would cut him off 

 mighty quick. 



The committee appointed to select judges to examine 

 the butter and award premiums reported the following :
