The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1870-02-17

like to see the gentleman carrying out
his own ideas. He had no objection to
the s+oppage of Sunday work, for there
was no doubt but that man and beast
wanted one days rest out of seven, and
it was right that one day should be OBJ
served, but the reasons given by the gent
1emen on the other side were not valid
e. nor conclusive
Mr.. Favill, of Lake Mills, Wis, believ-
ed in keeping the Sabbath They had
no more right to keep opon a cheese fac
tory than to run German beer garden
ON Sunday. There VAS garden in his
neighborhood used by Germans for dan
cling on Sunday, aud its effects during
the last four years were two murders,
several Standings, and numerous knock
downs How could he go against that
beer garden if he ran his factory on
Sunday. History, from the time of
Adam, would bear out bis assertion that
It was wrong to work in cheese factory
en- Sunday. He related the case of his
father, who had twelve children and re-
fused TO run factory on Sunday. APP
plause Such recklessness on his fathers
part did not make him come to want, but
the blessings which always followed
rapidly acquired competence. His
father never worked on Sunday, neither
did he. There was no necessity for it
and he would not do it. He would rath-
er work until the commencement Of Sab
bath morning, say 2 o'clock, than to
work during Sunday. It need be done
but three months in the year, and then
only one man would have to sit up until
2 "a. m. He felt that reform was needed
in the matter, and hoped the time would
soon come when right action would take
the place of honest thought
Mr.. Stone, Secretary, said judge Will
cox had 70 leave that night to take his
seat upon the bench, and he would move
vote Of thanks TO His Honor for the
digniied manner in which he presided.
The thanks were unanimously passed
Mr.. Tefft, of Flgin, the second Vice
President, took the chair.
DR. Stone said it was almost impossible
to discontinue the practice. Mr.. Fl. G.
Drake, of Lake Mills, offered the. follow
ing:
Res0lo6d, That the manufacture OF
cheese on the Sabbath is a practice not
warranted by the necessities of the case,
and tends to encourage disrespect for
the sacredness of that day, and should,
therefore, be discontinued
1t was moved to lay the resolution on

The convention reassembled at p. m.
Vice President Tefft in the chair A
committee on Dairy Utensils was appoint
ed.
Mr.. W. S. King, Of Rockford, read a
pepper on 1.-THE best means of making
and packing butter for the market" He
found fault with the injustice done to
Illinois butter by the market quotation
where it was invariably placed at the bot
tom of the list. That should be remedied
The paper was mainly historical.
Mr.. Orledge, of Kenosha, pleaded for
the butter interest at great length, reflect.
ing somewhat upon the cheese interest.
He had to stop speaking on account of
the derisive applause of the cheese
men.
Mr. Londy, of Lebanon, closed the debate
by recommending the use of certain
kind of tin can.
The next subject taken up was the best
breeds of stock for the dairy, and the
best manner of keeping up the supply of
COWS.
Mr.. Richard Wray, of Richmond, dwelt
upon the necessity of raising good milking
COWS, and of keeping the breed pure. He
mentioOed some remarkable mich cows Of
the Durham stock, which were the best milk
ers. They could raise better stock than they
could buy.
Mr.. Scofeld, of Elgin, thought that they
had as good native stock for milk as could be
found in any grade OF Durhams. He mad a
native, which gave twelve quarts day for
four months in summer. A calf in which the
hair back of the udder did not run upward
would not be good mixer, and would not
be worth raising for milking purposes. That
was an invariable rule. They should breed
ont of their best cows, and in the course OF
time they would excel anything in the way
of milk stock that the world ever produced.
Mr.. Dickes, whose experience extended to
Durham, Ayrshire, and native, was forced to
give the superiority to the Ayrshire. The
larger the milk vein in front of the udder the
