president of the association, delivered
the regular annual address. After con-
graduating the members upon the
success Of their organization, and their
occupation, he considered the question
in a broader light. To-day, the speaker
said, the dairy interest is more depress-
ed than it has been since the Organiza-
ton OF the association. The spectre
of oyer-production, which has been the
bugbear OF the last fifteen years be-
came the dread reality Of 1878. An
increase OF thirty per cent. in the pro-
ductlon, as shown by the receipts in
New York, has not been followed by
an equal increase in the worlds con-
sumption, and to-day the markets are
full of stock. BY the display made at
the exhibition which has been inaugu-
rated, as well as those held at Milwau-
kee in 1875, Philadelphia il 1876, at
Chicago in 1877 and last year in New
Y ork the worlds buyers are aware of
the fact that Wisconsin makes good
butter and cheese in quantities; and
to-day, continued the speaker, they
stand at your doors ready to take all
you make at it's fair market value.
And yet all this is the outcome of a
meeting held by a dozen men at Water
town in February, 1872.
During the year the nation has ex-
ported an average of 100000 worth
q day. For the first month in it's life
the Greenback bears upon its face no
unmeaning legend. With the produc-
ton Of the staple articles, and the
moderate prices resulting therefrom,
and with financial stability assured,
this country is bound to enjoy such q
measure of general prosperity as it has
never seen before.
The President wanting more time to
appoint the committees |. j. Clapp be-
ing next on the programme spoke on
The Influence Of the Dairy Business
upon the Farm and the Farmer. He
said the great fault IN the management
of farms was the want of tidiness. The
influence of the dairy business more
than anything inculcates the farming
virtue of tidiness. No dairyman could
be slovenly, neither can he be a smok-
er, as it is a we'll known fact that the
fumes of tobacco affect the quality of
the milk. Milk is SO sensitive to i'm
puritles that some dairymen will not
allow even lamp to be brought into
the dairy. The dairyman must keep
his eyes open, and improve and take
care Of his stock And he must be
kind to his COWS, for if he kicks them
they will kick back and hit him on his
pockets. The business had human
izng effect.
: Che subject WAS then thrown open
for discussion when DR.. a. Farr led,
followed 10y Capt. John futile, Ward
C. White and others. MI Smith, of
Sheboygan Falls, said he had a brother
-Hlram--who had taken the sweep
stakes for butter. He was an invete-
rate smoker-if any body could find a
a man who used more tobacco he (Mr
Smith would sit down. Chester Ha-
zen, President Dousman, John Porter
and others spoke on the subject

The association adjourned to even
ing.
a BUSINESS CONVENTION.
The reporter Of the Milwaukee Sen
tinel says:
The fact that fully one-half of the
attendance upon the deliberations of
the association is made up of men out
side Of the state is explained by a re-
mark made by President Dousman.
'This is not place for fine words" he
said. Dealers in butter and cheese
come from New York, Iowa, Illinois
all parts of tho country-to get &C
quainted will, the dairymen Of the
state and transact business. It is q
kind of d commerc al convention
And the remark seemed to be strictly
true. The talk in off-corners between
knots of men did not consist in small
gossip, but was good solid substance
Of prices and qualities. 1t means bus
mess, and no matter from what part of
the country the dairymen come they
seem disposed to learn Of Wisconsin
experts and buy Of them. There are
probably 400 delegates and, friends in
attendance.
A VALUABLE PRIZE.
