less milk during the warm weather. Was in poor health, 
and could say but little now, but would speak again altei 
Mr. Seward, who had made it a study. 
E. H. Seward said it was a hard question to manage; we 
all wanted to secure the same end, but the question was, 
How shall we do it? It would be a great blessing to dairy¬ 
men if the low prices of the summer months could be 
avoided. The best remedy he knew was for all to make a 
good article, which always brought a good price Our 
products are graded, fair and prime, none extra; all factories 
should make better cheese. Dairymen should make less 
milk in May, June and July, and make more m winter, when 
the price is usually higher. 
Judge Wilcox said the question of quantity depended so 
much upon circumstances, it would not do for all localities o 
rush into winter dairying. Our factory system was not the 
most profitable way to work up milk; dairymen could make 
more money to work up their own milk; it is forced woi 
and contrary to nature to make milk in winter. By working 
up on the farm, hogs and calves could be raised, w ic i 
would suppress the killing of all the calves as now practiced; 
we are now compelled to scour the country, tar and near, to 
supply our dairies with fresh cows; they should all be raised, 
and thereby keep up the standard of our dames. here 
milk could be sold during the whole year it would do to 
follow winter dairying, but all could not rush into win er 
dairying, as a large amount of product rushed upon ie 
market at any one, time as a matter of course depresses the 
market; the demand will at all times control the price, 
undoubtedly it was best for the whole country to make the 
most during summer months, but the product should be made 
prime at all times. 
On motion of Dr. Tefft, it was voted that when we adjourn 
it be to meet at 2 p. m. . 
The regular order of business was now suspended, in oidei
