Q. — If it is $50.00 a cow for eight months there ought to be more 

 cheese factories? 



Prof. Fraser.— There ought to be more cheese factories from the fact 

 that it is entirely impossible to find more than three or four factories. 

 They can get good cheese in Canada. And other towns are in the came 

 condition. Why can't Illinois get cheese in her own State. It seems to 

 me we should consume more cheese than we do from an economical stand- 

 point and from the taste of it. But we don't seem to realize the food 

 value of cheese. 



Mr. Biddulph. — Mr. Gurler was asking about those calves. He raised 

 his calves on sweet whey. 



Mr. Gurler. — He must have fed those calves something more than 

 sweet whey? 



A. — When old enough gave them grain. 



Q. — Probably started them on milk for awhile. 



A. — For a few days, a short time, calves can be raised on sweet whey. 

 I have tried it. Bought a calf three days old and it never had anything 

 after that three days but sweet whey until September. 



Q. — What was the value of that sweet whey in comparison with skim 

 milk? 



A. — I never figured it out; have been told you take the sweet whey 

 from the whey vat. You have got to do that or it is no good. 



By the President. — The next on the program this morning is Mr. M. S. 

 Campbell, of Genoa, Illinois, who will tell us about the Holstein breed of 

 cattle. 



REPRESENTING THE HOLSTEIN BREED OF CATTLE. 



Address by M. S. Campbell, Genoa, III. 



Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: 



When asked by the Association to represent the Holstein cattle at 

 this meeting, I felt that a better speaker should have been chosen to 

 represent the good qualities of this grand breed of cattle.
