dairy herd and his hogs, corn, oats and wheat and pay attention 

 to it from five or six in the morning. I don't believe in this night 

 business. It always hurt me to get two suppers in one night. 

 The clay is long enough to get this work clone in the daytime, and 

 take ample time to look after the cows, look after the corn, wheat 

 and oats in summer time, but don't get to doing this work in the 

 night. 



By the President : — That kind of talk does us all good. I 

 wish to call your attention to the evening's program. I want 

 your wives with you. They are just as much interested in this 

 work as you are. They can probably remember something you 

 might forget. We shall have three or four very good speakers 

 and a very fine program. Tomorrow at 11 :30, after we have 

 talked over different breeds of cows from experienced men on 

 the different breeds, we have an invitation to go over and visit 

 the condensing factory, the Vice President is here with us and 

 left this invitation with us. We shall all accept that. 



Mr. Lee of the force of our Agricultural School has some- 

 thing to say to you. 



Mr. Lee : — I have not very many words to say, but got her<?

 here tomorrow morning. 



I suppose there are a number interested. It will be a good 

 plan for a number to bring in samples if they will. Bring in all 

 the samples you can of your cow's milk, and see it tested here. 

 You will learn more about the test of milk, than you would 

 by simply seeing some other man's milk tested, and be more 

 interested. 



Those who bring milk for samples, must milk tonight ana 

 fill half a bottle, stir up the milk thoroughly, pour it back and 

 forth from one pail to another, and fill the bottle half full tonight. 

 Milk the same cow in the morning, and fill the bottle full in the 

 morning, so that the bottle contains half of last night's milk and 

 half of this morning's milk. That will be a fair sample of the 

 milk the cow has produced. We will test it and tell you how 

 many pounds of butter the cow is making. If you can, weigh
