ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN’S ASSOCIATION. 
he had made one pound of butter from twenty-two pounds 
of milk. She had made good butter, but didn’t feel com- 
potent to give any instructions. 
Mr. Sands : Said his wife gave him more credit than 
he thought she would. She found a great deal of fault 
with him at home. Said he was not neat. 
O. S. Cahoon: Thought the first place to start a 
reform in this matter was in the stable, with all. He never 
had carried milk to factory, but thought the greatest 
mistake made was in not requiring more cleanliness. We 
should be more careful. Suppose we began at the begin¬ 
ning—dressing the cow right and keeping her in a good 
place. 
j h. Foote: Would add to Mr. Cahoon’s remarks. 
He hired much help and he allowed no man to speak a loud 
word in his barn; nothing louder than a whisper. You 
must keep the cows quiet. It didn’t matter so much about 
the feed. • 
T. McD. Richards: Said that was all well enough 
in theory, but he hadn’t seen the man yet who wouldn’t 
speak out loud, if he was raised by a kicker. 
Cahoon: You should get good, quiet milkers from a 
quiet class of people. Set the pail right under the cows. 
Clean off the teats, brush them clean. He had to instruct 
all of his men in the matter of milking. 
D. C. Scofield: Thought it was of great import- 
ance to keep cows quiet; it was very important, also, that 
they be kept clean. About keeping cows quiet: He had 
a man manage his dairy once who had a very quick temper?.
