ILLINOIS DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 197 



Resolved, That we thank the railroads in the Central and Western 

 Passenger Associations for the reduced rates given us for this meeting. 

 There have been some misunderstandings, but we believe it can all be 

 straightened out without losses. 



Resolved, That we thank Mayor Muliken, of Champaign, and Mayor 

 Glover, of Urbana, for their kind welcome, and the citizens of these twin 

 cities for the assistance they have freely given us. We have had a val- 

 uable convention, if not so largely attended as others of late years, an<| 

 we hope we have done this community some good. 



Resolved, That we thank Dean Davenport and others of the Illinois 

 Agricultural College for the assistance and help in making this meeting 

 a success. We also thank the speakers on the program who have given 

 us valuable papers that will influence for good not only those present at 

 this convention, but the thousands who will read our report of this con- 

 vention. 



Resolved, That we thank the creamery and dairy machinery and 

 supply houses represented in the exhibit here, and thank also the gentle- 

 men who represented these houses. The latter have contributed liberally 

 to help our association, and their representatives can always be depended 

 upon to work for the good of the Association. A good share of our suc- 

 cess is due to their efforts.
