which will be published inside of three months and will be sent 

 to you by mail free of charge. We hope to get many memberships 

 in this Greenville country, next to the northern district it is the 

 best dairy place in the state, as here is where the future work 

 will be largely concentrated for it will help build up and give 

 this country more in dairying. The City of St. Louis will want 

 more milk than you can supply and it will pay any man to put on 

 a few more cows, but be sure you put on good ones. You know a 

 scrub cow does not pay for her board. 



The first on the program this afternoon was Prof. Smith, 

 but I have just received a telegram saying that a very serious 

 illness quite prevents his attendance. He extends his best wishes 

 to the dairymen of this Association. We are very sorry to miss 

 Prof. Smith. He undoubtedly will send a paper and it will be 

 put in the record. 



We have with us the Inspector of Alilk at St. Louis, Mr. 

 Robert E. Pethybridge, and he will talk to us. 



HANDLING OF MILK FOR THE ST. LOUIS MARKET. 



By Mr. Robert E. Pethybridge, St. Louis, Mo. 



Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen. 



I am very pleased to be with you this afternoon, and glad 

 to see so good a meeting. I will try to give you a little idea of 

 what the handling of milk means in the St. Louis market. If any 

 one knows of it I do, and I don't know half enough. 



In my position as milk inspector, I have gained a great 

 knowledge within the past year, and I hope you will pay attention 

 to me — those who have any idea of providing milk for the St. 

 Louis market.
