Meeting or the Northwestern Dairy
men'A Association at Geneva Lake
Wis.
The sixteenth annual convention of
the Northwestern Dsirymen's Associa-
ton met at Ford's Opera House, Ge-
neva Lake, Wis, on the 14th inst. A
very large crowd was in attendance,
especially of the dairymen of Illinois
and the southern portion G. this state.
The weather is so remarkably fine that
the local attendance is excellent and the
success of the convention is an assured
fact. The meeting was called to order
at s O'Clock by the Secretary, without
any remarks. A song by the Geneva
Lake Male Quartette was given, when
Gen. John w. Boyd, of Linn, made an
address of welcome to the assembled
ndairymen. Gen. Boyd is one of the early
settlers of Wisconsin having come here
in 1874, and he spoke of the vast chan
ges that had been made in dairying
since he came to the state, and believ-
ing much of the improvement due to
the associations, he welcomed with all
his heart the advent of this great socie-
ty in our midst, because it would not
but turn to our advantage.
Mr.. r. P. McGlincy, of Elgin, H.,
secretary of the Northwestern Dairy
mems Association, replied to the wei
coming address neatly and briefly. He
thanked the people of Geneva for their
hearty welcome. He saw that they
had done much, indeed everything
possible, for the Association. He
dwelt on the fact that the State of Wis
consin appreciated the dairying indus
try as one of its most productive inter-
ests, and that its laws, its treasury and
its people were ready to aid the. cause
in all ways. The value of the cheese
and butter products of Wisconsin will
amount to more than $60,000,0 600 an
ually, and it is right that 50 immense
an industry should be favored. The
brand OF "Wisconsin" on a jar of butter
will cause that butter to sell for the
same or more money in Liverpool,
than that of the famous Orange County
product Of New York.
The meeting was called to order by
President Hoard. After the response

Allen read paper on the Education
of Farmers Sons" The Association

A paper was read by G. c. Buell., of
Rock Falls, Ill.,, on "The Advantages of
the Cream Gathering System" The
first advantage which he mentioned of
this system was that it permits the as
ssciation of more dairies than by any
other scheme. A cream-gathering
wagon can travel twenty miles day
and so associate the small diaries with
with all the advantages which attends
the association of large dairies Cream
can be transported much easier. cheap
er than milk. The system also improved
the dairy stock because it leads to a
profitable discrimination in COWS, the
dairyman being careful to procure
cream producing cows. Another ad-
vantage attending the system is that it
relieves the fatigue of butter-making
upon the old ways Other advantages,
he said were derived from the process
es involved in
