came up III order. Rev. George E.
Wrenn, Of Highland Park, ILL.,, pre-
ferred the Jerseys to all others

shires and gave his figures in their
favor,

who told the last story always had the
best Of Tie argument.
Prof. Arnold being asked for his
opinion on che different breeds remark
ed that Old Dreamer, the wonderful
COW, famous throughout the world,
who had been claimed by the last

particular breed. She had been sold
by a farmer who never was acquaint-

HIRAM SMITH,
CHESTER HAzEN, Committee.
Mr. Hoard offered a resolution sug-
gested in a letter to him from MI I'm
derhill, Of New Y Ork, to the effect
that us the cheese market was so
overstocked it would be well to cease
manufacturing the article in the early
months of the year. The resolution
was adopted, with only one negative
vote. The members claim that the
milk used at this season of the year
IN the making of cheese could be given
to calves advantageOusly.
J. A. Smith, of Sheboygan, read a
paper giving some practical sugges-
lions, which, if followed, he held would
keep the milk at a regular temperature

cheese, which also received q critical
