ILLINOIS DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 71 



consider the matter carefully this noon and be in shape to report 

 this afternoon if called upon. I am talking to the Committee on 

 Nominations now. We need a little new blood in it. A new 

 head to it for the next year and probably some other changes 

 which this committee will see meet to make. 



I would state that the Bissell College of Photography and 

 the Illinois College of Photography is located in this beautiful 

 city, and Mr. Bissell, who is also Mayor of the city, would like 

 very much to have us call at the studio. Wants us to be at 

 the college between eleven and twelve today, and has made it 

 11 :15 for us to go there. He wants to take a picture of the 

 association as an association, and it will appear in the next annual 

 report. So please go directly to the college from here at 11 :15. 

 It is the only one in the world. From there we will go to the 

 condenser at 11 :30 and go through and see them make condensed 

 milk. 



It has been thought best, on account of the shape are roads 

 are in now, to take up the cow question this afternoon and sub- 

 stitute the afternoon's program this morning, and the morning 

 program be given this afternoon. If many farmers are here 

 that must have it this morning, they will make it manifest. 

 Don't be afraid to speak up if any here feel that they came on 

 purpose to have the cow proposition this morning and not this 

 afternoon. I hear no objection and hence the program will be 

 changed as mentioned. Mr. Janes, of Hinsdale, the head of 

 Brown Swiss cattle of that place, you all know, it is known the 

 world over, and he has gone to the expense and time of shipping 

 one of his best cows clown here for us to examine. She is down 

 here in the first livery barn. We had hoped to have her on the 

 stage, but it was an impossibility in this opera house. I would 

 like to have you all stop there before coming in this afternoon. 

 Mr. Janes will be there and will see you. We will adjourn then 

 later on to see the different cows. 



In regard to your railroad certificates, the secretary has 

 secured a fare of one and one-third fare? on the certificate plane
