ILLINOIS DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 87 



There is a market for good dairy cows all the time, and right now, too; 

 just think of this. 



For fear I would get up a stump for something to say, I wrote one page 

 on the typewriter, and here it is: 



The Jersey cow is appreciated by the dairymen in all dairy districts. 

 She is sought for by men wanting dairy workers. She is going into the dair- 

 ies for what profit she can make her owner. This is just what the dairy 

 breeders want her to do. This is her mission — this is her place. And when 

 appreciated and cared for she is a source of delight and profit. She is 

 owned by the breeders of the Short Horns and Hereford cattle to furnish milk 

 and cream and butter to the families who demand the best of everything. 

 She is found in the herd of Holstein dairies just for the looks of the thing 

 and to keep up the. standard of quality required by the law. She is an ideal 

 city cow, furnishing a regular supply of rich milk nearly the year around. 

 She is a splendid cow for business. • It. can be said the Jersey cow has set 

 the standard of excellence for all dairy products. Down on your streets 

 I read the sign, " Jersey Creamery Butter." The milk dealer hurrying 

 about the city has his wagon placarded with " Jersey milk and cream." 

 Orr wagons drawn by a fine team with bright new harness has this sign 

 painted on it. " Pasteurized Jersey Milk and Cream." Did you ever see 

 the name of any other breed of cattle on a milk wagon? 



It is also true that the Jersey cow has fixed the type and form by which 

 all dairy cows are judged. The high type, pure bred Jersey cow is the ac- 

 cepted highest dairy type. All great producing cows of whatever breed 

 have the form of the Jersey. 



Mr. Chairman, I thank you. 

 By the President. — 



We shall have the pleasure of listening this afternoon to Mr. Taylor 

 on the selection fmd care of the dairy herd. I would like to send a special in- 

 vitation to our hog friends to come and hear him. It is something they 

 need to know. No dairy farm is complete without a good breed of pigs- 

 running with them. He is one of the first dairymen in the country and 

 knows what he is talking about.
