54 ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 



We hope the cows will see the point 



And serve us with milk punch. 



But we'll keep clear of rag-time songs 



And Streets-of-Cairo airs, 



Likewise of Midway interludes 



And similar affairs. 



We will not play the ancient tunes, 



Nor others of that ilk — 



For the cows will be confused 



And all give buttermilk. 



Mr. Monrad: I wish to heartily approve of Mr. Hostetter's idea, that 

 the Secretary be instructed to turn over copies of the reports which we 

 have. When I was secretary, I was instructed to try and get as many 

 copies together as possible, and through the kindness of the editor of 

 the Farmer's Review and Mrs. Kelley, I secured a good many of them, but 

 not all. These were turned over to Secretary Caven and he has com- 

 plained to me that he had nowhere to keep them safely. I think it is 

 an excellent proposition to place them in the Historical Library in 

 Springfield. If Mr. Hostetter will make it a motion. 



Motion made as suggested, that the Secretary be instructed to deposit 

 these volumes in the Illinois State Historical Library in Springfield for 

 safe keeping. 



Moved and seconded. 



There were two years that we had no State appropriation and I 

 think that Mrs. Kelley has the reports of those two conventions in the 

 manuscript, but they never have been written up. There is a chance for 

 some liberal-minded member to have them typewritten and put in along 

 with the other reports. 



The President: Are you ready for the question. All in favor of the 

 motion say "L" 



It is carried. 



Mr. Thompson of Elgin has shown me the fourth report of this Asso- 

 ciation. It is quite a curiosity 1 assure you. 



Committee on Nominations — M. Long, H. H. Hopkins, J. H. Coolidge^
