THE AFTERNOON SESSION.
After a midday recess, the little Committee on
Resolutions. to which was referred that of Mr.
Mabie. startled the convention by coming before
it divided Mr.. Mabie, the mover Of the resolu-
ton and the chairman of the committee, an
nounced himself as minority with minority
report to present The ma iOrity of the com
mittee had fashioned the resolution into this
shape: Whereas, 1t is alleged that large
amount of the milk supply of New-York is
aduterated by the addition of skimmilk TO the
whole milk; and Whereas the State law is not
adequate to stop the evil, and the producers are
in favor of pure, unadulterated milk Resolved,
That We the Union of Milk Producers for the
supply of the New-York market, demand bet
ter law
Mr.. Mabie wanted it this way "Whereas, 1t
is fact that large NUMBER Oh Jle cIeduleIlcs anu
individuals are in the habit Of shipping to New
York milk that is largely adulterated by having
the cream removed; and whereas. this fraud has
been repeatedly called TO the attention Of the State
Dairy Commissioner, who has taken no effective
means of suppressing the evil therefore, be it
resolved that We the union of milk producers for
the supply of the New-York market, demand
better administration of the Office and more
rigid discharge of the duties thereof in inspecting
all milk from whatever source, delivered in the
New-York market" Mr.. Mabie made another
speech. in which he exhorted the delegates TO
stand up for their rights, and not be like dumb,
driven cattle"
E. G. Fowler, editor Of The Orange County
Farmer" said that nobody would accuse him of
particnlar love for State Dairy Commissioner
