ILLINOIS DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. I I / 



this cow with a box stall, put her in that. Probably for the first hour 

 she will look all around for that calf, but if you have treated her well 

 and gently, she will forget it and never say another word about that 

 calf, 



Now then, my friends, you want to use your best judgment in feed- 

 ing that cow. Nature is ready to respond to good care and treatment, 

 and she will give milk to the last. If you feed her liberally she will re- 

 spond most wonderfully and will give you more butter at the end of 

 two months, if the right time of year, than any other time. Here is a 

 cow that is freshened and gives 25 lbs. of milk and you subject her to 

 an increased ration suitable to this one cow, and at the end of six weeks 

 after that you can bring her up until you have a flow of milk from 36 lbs. 

 to 41 lbs. just as well as not. If you neglect this cow ten day after she 

 comes in, in six weeks she will be giving you 16 lbs. of milk. Which will 

 you have? It is all up to you. 



Unless you want to ask some questions I am going to quit. Up in 

 our state they ask a great many questions. We cut our talk short and 

 ask a great many questions. 



1 thank you very much for your attention. 



By the President. — Prof. Haecker will give us a short talk now. and 

 we shall have the pleasure of listening to him again. 



PROF. HAECKER. 



I supposed this meeting would be held in a lecture room where they 

 would have a blackboard and when I give my address would like to have 

 one. 



Mr. Glover is in a work in which I am very much interested, and I 

 think it means a great deal for the State of Illinois, the facts he is going 

 to bring out.
