report of the committee on dairy IMPLEMENTS. 



DeKalb, 111., Dec. 13, 1883. 



To the Illinois State Dairymen'' s Association: Your Committee appointed 

 to inspect dairy implements beg leave to report that while there is an unusu- 

 ally meager display, there are several exhibits of real merit. 



Near the north end of the room stands the " Ross" feed cutter, exhibited 

 by Mr. Caldwell, which deserves especial mention. Certainly a dairyman 

 who is so fortunate as to own one of these machines need never be short of 

 cut feed, for it is strong, regular of motion, and not likely to get out of re- 

 pair. 



Mr. Batcheler, of Rock Falls, exhibits a churn which needs no comment, 

 for it is so generally used. 



There are two samples of machine-made ash tubs, manufactured by Hook 

 Bros., of Union City, Indiana, which speak for themselves, being well made, 

 smooth and of good material. Our Elgin manufacturers must look well to 

 their laurels for the Hoosiers are after them. The Chicago Creamery Co. 

 exhibit creamery and cans well adapted to the purpose.
