Delegates from Connecticut and Kentucky were also reported present. An Invitation from the Btar Unlon Line for the delegates to visit the Stock-Yarda by special train was nceepted with thanks, and the time for starting fixed at 8 o’clock this morning, the members to nssemble at the Paclfle. The first subject on tho programma was, “Tho P'roper Care of Milk: How to Sccure the Greatest Yicld of Cream.” The discussion was to have becu opened by Mr, F. G, Butler, of Bellows Falls, Vt,, but that gentleman was not on hand, and M. 1SRAEL DOIRS, of Davis Junction, Ill., took the platform. Mr. Boles said that he had been ten years in the dairy business, manufacturing butter only, After careful inquiry and experiment, he had found that milk should be cooled as rapidly ns posaible down Lo 63 degrees, If the tempera- turo was reduced below that polat thero was o loss, although for the manufacture of cheeso such reduction of temperature might be well enough. The manufacture of gilt-- edged butter began at the cow, and, un. Jess every caro was taken in the handiing and coollng "of milk Lefore it was bLrought to the factorv, good butter could never be made. By cooling tho milk {o an hour better results were obtained than whero two or three hours were occuipled In tho process. MR JOUN BTEWART, of Iows, spoke on the advantages of the cream- ery system. Ho considered that this system was far abead of the dairy plan. But thers was many a man In tho Weat having small dairfes ot from flfteen to twenty cows who was unablo to £o to the cx]smuso of litting up a place for his sole use. By combipation, however, half-a- dozen farmers could creck a factory with all proper applfances, cold water and fca in the season, aud l)ulldlngs constructed on scientific principles, AN that remained for the farmer to do was to exercise proper care and cleanliueas fn taklug the milk from the cow, and fn the caro of tho animals. Furthermore, he must et the mitk to tho factory as early os possible. The speaker protested” against tho syaten of delivering milk ouly oneo a day, and appealod to My. Doles for informatton on this point. Mr. Boles narrated his_experlence fn this matter. The Efgin peoplo had told him that it was uuneceessary to have the milk brought in more thau once a day. Ilotried the oxporiment, sod tho result was " that, whilo It took 25 6-10 pounds of milk In one caso to make a pound of butter, nnder the other plan, that of delivering morning ona evenlug, o pound of butter was made from 23 ¢-10 pounds of milk. All other conditions wero cxactly alike, and yet 1t was tho opinfon of competent judees that the butter made from the smaller smount of milk was worth 10 cents per poutil more than the other. Mr, Stewart fully agreed with the Inst speak- et Out in Jowa, whero the roads were bad at certain seasons, they found difficulty in getting milk broucht in twice a iday, but Whenuver was posslblebe would Insist upon {t. Ureat care was necessary all through,—both in churning, salting, and packing. In rcn‘l‘y to questions from delerates, tho speaker eald thoy churued until the pellicles became a8 Jarge os s wheat-kernel, or from that toasmall benan, They used tho ordinary box- churn, and drew off tho buttermilk before they introduced the brino for washing. After tho butter had been thoroughly washed with this pickle by revolving the churm, the butter was pathered into ono lump, They used what ho cousidered a good-stzed churn, holding 225 gal- lons, and an ordinary churnivg ylelded from 150 to 160 poutds of butter, Tho quantity of salt oged varled from two-thirds of an ounce to an ounce to cach nound of butter, It depended to rome cxtent on the market for which the butter was intended, and more upon the lle consldered a second working nece wotder to thoroughly diatribute the salt, talu flne, solld butter without auystreaks in it. ‘This desirable result he had not becu able to reach with ono working. Bometimes they olored their butter in ordor to suit the trade, In sununcr this waa unnceessary, but in winter a lutlo colorlog wus demanded, 85d annatto ‘was uscd, DI, 3, WOODWORTHS, ol Marengo, Ill., produced a scetlonal plan of an tmproved creamnery, 0 thought the fnflu. ences of the Conventlon should reach out to the etnaller dalrics: thoso which produced the poorer qualities of butter. At a competitive test bield o fow weeks ago seventcen specimens of butter were produced, and of theso twelve ot least developed pocullar odors, This wos caused by the conditicns under which 1t was made, exposed to the amells caused fn cooking, and the exhalations from tho slecping apart- ments, What was wanted was to broyide a creamery sultable for small farmers, The plan cxbibited was suitable for a farm ot from 200 to 600 acres, or a dalry of twenty to 100 cows. Tho building was twelve by thirty- four fect, clapboarded on tho outside and bu;rs- ed within, the Intorstices belng filled with tan- Lark, ‘I'ho fnside waa neatly waluscoted and iainted, and the roums were semi-arched overs heed, ‘The first room was tep by twelve feet, ond was ventiluted from thocellar, The next measured twelvo by thirteen and one-half fect, sud on ova slde contained a water-tank thirteen Ly three ®ot and two feet fn depth, This con. talngd four pans, with a capacity of sevonty krallons, or the product of from torty to filty cows. ‘Tbere was alsu a refrigerator LWO by twelva feut, the walls and door beine filled with tan-bark, and above this an lee-box. 1n the rear was the fee-house, eleht by twelve feet in dunenslons, aml with o capacity of twelve tons, The collar was twelvo by twenty-four feet, and from six to seven feet in bielghth, ond was plustered and celled, The ik was drawn {n the bosement, sud was at ouce removed to tho room above, Although the basenment was os clean as possible, yet the milk would sutfer If retafped there any length of time. ‘I'ht cost of such a building as shown woulil bo 8800, which would Inctude sl necessa- Ty apparatus, aud was within the reach of tho small farmers, ‘The spcaker deseribed the whols process of making butter, Ho preferred to tien the cream at frum 60 to €3 decrees of Fabrenhelt, and to begln churning at 60 degrecs. o udyo- tated the uss of coloring matter in reasonable u“Nllllg- By the ul carrying out of his syatem Ma.

In Kane Countythere were twenty-six factorfes and creamerics, and In the adjacent territory ne least Avventy-five more, These factories” receive from 6,000 to__ 0,000 pounds of wmllk per day, drnwn from 75,000 cows.

MR. C, C. BURLL, of Rock Fatls, Ill., followed with a paper on “The Farm Datry,"” Mr. Boles had said that he sct his milk at “from 60 to 62 degrees Fahren- heft, hnt the spenker ect lis in & temperature ranging from 55 degrees down to the freczing point, By this means hoe was enabled to sct the ik {n deep pans, The churning was done at 00 degrees, and a marked improvement was shown over the product twhen churned at 65 degrecs. A dash churn was used, holding from thirty to thirty-five voundsof cream, and churn- ing is done In from twenty-five to forty-five minutes, The eritical point In butter.making 18 just when the butter and butter-mitk beain to separate. Tiwo or three zallons ot cold, strong brine ndded to tho churning at that wmoment facllitates the process “aud fm- proves tho condition of the butter.

It was thic misslon of butter-dealers to educate the produccr Into geiting up a better article. They should make falr distinctions as to quality, and polut out the remedfes for fall- ures made, ‘They must also fusist that cream sbould be churned ot or below 65 degrees, and in winter at 58 degrees. Much - could be done by recommending cheap and convenient butter- workers and other impleinents, The ecretary read communications from va- rious Boston and New York merchants In rela- tion to tho best modes of shippiug and handling butter. Anattempt was made to get up a dis- cussion on egpes, but there was no response, Mr. Mc(iiinsey, on bebaif of the Committce ‘nn tho Paris Exposition, presented the folluw- ng: Resoleed, That this Aseoclation appoint a com- mittco of threo in Now York City, and one from cach Stato hero represented, to take charge of all daiey producta manufacturers may deslca shipned through this Association for exhibition at Paris, and forward the samo, ‘The commitice in New York will confer with the Commiesioner of Agricultare, and obtain from him such focts as moy be nccessary (o facilitate the shipment of gonds, and then by correspondence whh the comsmittees in the soveral Statos give such information as factorymen may desire.

It wos explaincd that tho clicese and butter men ald not futend to botuer very much about Mr. Lo Duc onvhow, but proposed to work through Mr. McCormlick, Commlssioner- Ueneral to the Exposition. The old Jealousy vetween Now York and her rivals on the scabonrd manifested Itself a little nt this polnt, but all was settled hapolly by the wittdrawal of the amondment, and the” resolu. tion was adopted without o negative vote, The State delegations were requested to select thelr respective representatives and to report the natnes this (Friday) moming.

MR, G.

Shippers should fumiliarize thoinsclves with tho men through whom they did business, and fu whom thioy hind to put so'much trust. Unfortunately this Important point was much negiected, and tho cousequence was that shippsrs wers too often disappoiuted in tho result of their ship- wents.

'Tho speaker gave high unlne to Illinots, fowa, and other Western ond Northwustern Btates, for the futelligonce and lndustcy of thelr popu- latlou. ‘Ihe Yyest had begun to outrank the Fust, but hio belicved thero wus class of busl uess en growinr up i the East who would realizo tbat thelr {utercits sud thoss of the Weatcrn States were identical, Iutelligent entsrpriso and mutual help would crowd vut the uld syatem of spolls-getting, Un- der the old-time arrangewent New York sat down looking upon the West as natursll tributary to ber, and forgetting that other oui- lets miuht be found to the sea-board than through the city of New York. ‘I'he men who went luto busiuess years neo looked upon the West aud its products as thelr lecitimate plueder, which must uaturally ow futo their couuting-rooms sud pockets.

The Con- vention had taken up the matter o the rlght spirit, and had hegun at the cow.

Cheese hoxes should fit closelv to the chese, and for shipment to the English market all Lutter-tubs must be of nne eize, English buyera refused to bandie bmtter-tubs fastencd with wires, and, 28 it was no use argulng with them, the Western dairymen had better accent the situation and fasten their packages with tin. As to refrigerator cars, W forclgn shipment was [ntend- el, the temperaturc must wot be allowed to too low, for i it was the buttersuffered on shibboard aud soon apotled when Ianded, Creamery butter would inevitably take tha place of dairy butter, as fac- tory cheese had supplanted dairy cheese. The Western farmers hind damaged the goose which 1ald the golden egas by rotafning the best woods at home and saying, Oh! anything will do for the English market.” This was u great mistake, and so they would find, for If the production was 1o keep on Incrensing as {t Lad done, they would have to pay a good deal of attentlon to the English markot. Poor butter could be sull at a certain prico if there was not too much of it, but what was wanted was first-clnay creamery butter, for which the taste was Increasing ali the time. They must not crowd the prico up to rapldly, but where the market had been fully bullt up then they might ook for improved figures. Mr. Ayer concluded a very ood speech amid much applause, and recetverl a voto of thanks. Heerotary Littler announced that the Stock- Yards train did not leavo until 10 o’clock, nud that the Conventlon would mect promptly at 9 a. m., as there was conslderable business o be done.
