8G ILLINOIS DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 



: — In what shape should you start them ? 



A: 



& : — He means financially. 



Q : — Yet, a man wants to put in a skimming station. Can 

 we afford to do it so as to be a benefit to the patron. They 

 haven't done it around here. How about putting in a skimming 

 station. You have to pay for extra help to run it and haul the 

 cream to the factory. 



Mr. Newman : — No sir, it is not essential that the man who 

 runs the skimming station should be of that high grade as the 

 man at the central plant. He must test milk correctly and then 

 he will run the separator properly to get the results. 



Q : — Can we afford to run it on that three cents over ? 



Mr. Spies : — The time is getting short. If the gentleman 

 wish any more information on that subject, there are several men 

 from Northern Illinois who will be pleased to give him all the 

 information he wants. 



Adjourned until Wednesday afternoon, 1 :30 p. m. 



By the President : — We will now listen to some music by 

 the orchestra. 



Encored. 



The next on the program is a talk by Hon. A. H. Jones, 

 state food commissioner. I have just received a letter from him. 

 In it he says he will be present tomorrow afternoon to address 

 the State Dairymen's Association. He could not come today as 

 he had some matters that detained him, but will be here tomorrow 

 afternoon. We will have to save his talk until tomorrow after- 

 noon. 



We will now listen to Prof. Fraser, who is Chief of Dairy 

 Husbandry at Champaign, who will tell us of the "Difference of 

 Efficiency of Individual Dairy Cows," with the aid of stereop- 

 ticon views.
