ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 



chance to make before. I want to apologize to our president because 

 when I saw Grout's name on the program, I said, "What in thunder does 

 he want a beef man like Grout on the program?" Now listening to Mr. 

 Grout, I think he has shown us, not how to do it, but shown us the kind 

 of cows we should not keep as dairymen. It shows me that the beef men 

 know what they are doing. They have set their aim and they keep their 

 eye on that aim. The trouble withe the dairymen and farmers in Illi- 

 nois is that they have been vacillating until they don't know where they 

 are. The best lesson we have had is just here on these pictures of the 

 <jows we don't want to have anything to do with. 



SCORES OF BUTTER. 



MR. GEORGE CAVEN, SECRETARY. 



The announcement was made that Mr. Collyer would score the en- 

 tries here at Aurora, but yesterday morning I got a telegram from him 

 saying that he had to meet a body of carload shippers in Kansas City, 

 and as I did not wish to delay the scoring until so late, I sent for Mr. 

 Gallagher, and he came out and scored the butter. 



The judge said that the exhibit of creamery was exceptionally fine, 

 one of the best he had seen, and you can see by the scoring that they are 

 exceptional. With the exception of a few packages they would score in 

 the extra class. 



The scores in the creamery class are:
