ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN’S ASSOCIATION. 
75 
The institution desired is no convenient contrivance for some 
political favorite or broken-down hack, but a place of honest hard 
work. Of the details I have little to offer. Suffice it to say in con¬ 
clusion that it should be under the management and direction of a 
practical dairyman. One that knows the wants of the business and 
who, knowing the needs, can point out the direction in which research 
is to be pursued. The scientist will do the work. The two thus 
united will make the “station” a benefit to the whole State. 
There is other work which should be done by the Legislature, 
and to which their attention has been called, a full account of which, 
and its results, or rather want of results, will doubtless be found in the 
report of your committee appointed for the purpose at the last annual 
meeting. 
J. H. Bromell offered the following resolution, which was adopted: 
Resolved, That the thanks of the Illinois State Dairymen’s Asso¬ 
ciation be tendered to the citizens of Dundee and vicinity for the very 
generous and hospitable entertainment that has been extended to the 
citizens of the State in attendance at these meetings. 
R. P. McGlincy offered the following resolution, which was 
adopted : 
Resolved, T^at our thanks are due and hereby tendered to the 
local committee, Prof. Quackenbush and his Glee Club, and to Miss 
Bohn and Miss Price, for their music, readings and essays, and to the 
Northwestern Railroad company for the reduced rates given to mem¬ 
bers, and especially in running an extra train from and to Elgin each 
evening during the session of the Convention. 
The committee appointed to examine and report upon the dairy 
implements, not having time to complete their investigation before the 
Convention closed, were granted permission to hand their report to 
:he Secretary for publication, which they have done as follows : 
Your Committee on Dairy Utensils beg leave to make the follow¬ 
ing report : We have examined the Fairlamb cans for gathering 
:ream, and the Cooley Creamer, represented respectively by Messrs. 
Wanzer and Buchanan, and find that while each has its peculiar ad¬ 
vantages they are both well adapted to the uses for which they are in- 
:ended, viz: the raising of cream in private dairies; also for gathering 
:ream in localities where that system is in vogue, and we recommend 
:hem to the favorable consideration of all who are interested. 
Respectfully submitted, 
D. C. Adams, )
