in driving through Millidgeville to Lanark. You should see the nice kept 

 lawns in front of their houses, just as you see in the yards of the swell 

 houses in Chicago, and you can have these things gentlemen and the 

 profits also, by education. 



Q. Give us the gross receipts again? 



A. Seven thousand four hundred and five dollars. Milk check for 

 last month was over $1100. You can cut that down considerably and still 

 leave fair profits. We can't all get the prices Mason does, but what he

 milk production cost 38 cents a 100, but I don't want it to go broadcast 

 over Illinois that we can produce milk for 38 cents.

 our pasture land.

 results will show up slowly, but once started will work for the good of 

 all, giving us more and better milk.
