TIE EVENING ~E>S!oN
was convened at % o'clock by Presi-
dent Erwin. who announced that the
first subject to come under consIiera-
ton would he ''Why have we 80 much
poor huttery' which was assigned to
W. W. Leach and Henry Green. Mr..
Leach being absent on account of
sickness, the question was handled by
Mr. Henry Green. who enumerated
the various causes which produced
poor butter, but the main cause
seemed Ia tie careleSSness and indifier-
ence on the part of the makers. III
care and attention and "a little more
effort and exertion was shown by the
butter makers, the result would al
VANS end in good butter.
The dryneSs OF the proceedings was
then very a"reeably enIivcned by
charming farm ballad rendered by
Miss Merit, who accompanied herself
On the piano.
She was followed nv the veteran
dairyman. John Patterson of Kinks
vile, vice president of the Missouri
State Dairy Association, who read one
of the best and most practical papers
that was presented at any of the ses-
sionS. entitled Care and Manage
ment of Cows Among other points

food that will produce found ofbeet
would also produce a pound of butter !
at double the market price of beef:

ancc of food were certain Ia produce /
good results Cows should have Just !
"a much care a. horse. and should |
be kept clean and comfortable both in |

a. the results would warrant the out
Law both for beet and for butter. In /
the raising of beef one must wait one
or more wears before they can realize.
whereby, in the raising of dairy pro-
ducts, one can obtain results ut the

Clover made good feed when aided |
BY some other fodder, but if made the
sole article of diet the result would |
be deleterious. As to the color of but
ter, he deemed il matter of pleasing
the eye. and a prejudice, and for that
reason he did not object to the using
of harmless coloring compounds.
In the discussion that followed the
reading of this article, many points of
interest were brought forth, among
Others bein. the facts that clover, vel
low corn, carrots and mangle-wurzel
had much To DO with the color Of the |
butter produced. rs did also the tenn
peraiure oi the cream when churned.
