114 ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 



A neighbor of mine says a cow could do just as well in a 

 shed as in a barn, but this is not so. A fellow told me he turned 

 his cows out and went to work, he said they needed exercise. I 

 said : ''Talk about exercise, don't you know a cow in giving milk 

 exerts as much energy as a cow that ploughs two acres?" If you 

 have a good cow, do not turn her out of doors. She will get ex- 

 ercise enough. You had better take the best possible care of her 

 and let her use her machinery to elaborate milk. Keep her warm 

 and feed her well and she will pay you, and there is no other 

 animal that will pay the amount of profit she will. 



Now I am sure I have talked as long as I ought to, but I 

 do remember I told you I would not keep you too long. I want 

 to thank you for the most excellent attention you have given me. 



Chairman : Just one minute. I want to call your attention 

 to the banquet at 6 130. 



Now tomorrow morning we will open our exercises at 9 130 

 sharp. We will have a big meeting. 



Adjourned until 9 .-30 Friday morning.
