ILLINOIS DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 



COWS milked with dry teats. I found, a good many years ago, 

 by taking a small amount of vaseline, as large as a bean, accord- 

 ing to the size of the cow's teats. Use a damp cloth and anoint 

 all the teats and rub them a little, and the cow can be milked with 

 the greatest ease, and while milking her in this manner you are 

 eradicating any warts or chaps, and you will be surprised if you 

 take a little vaseline at the ease with which this cow will be milked. 

 The milk will keep just as long as under any other system. To 

 illustrate. We furnish cream in a retail way in Monmouth and 

 I guarantee this cream to keep the hottest weather. I have a 

 wagon and peddle it. If it did not keep they did not have to pay 

 for it. I have shipped milk 180 miles and had no ice at all. My 

 customers depended on that cream for a half week. 



O : — Do you have any difficulty in the vaseline collecting 

 dirt?'^ 



A: — No sir it puts the cows teats in such a condition that 

 they are perfectly smooth and not the least bit rough and they 

 keep very clean indeed. We have the stables clean and all that 

 of course, and we have had no trouble at all. 



Ey the President : — Cleanliness is next to Godliness, and 

 cleanliness is a thing we have got to look out for. 



The next on the program is ''Testing Dairy Herds in Illin- 

 ois," by Mr. A. J. Glover. 



Mr. Glover came to us two years ago from Minnesota, and 

 he has been in Northern Illinois for nearly two years and he can 

 give us very valuable information from among the dairymen in 

 the Elgin district. Allow me to introduce Mr. Glover.
