The flr^wth of the Dairying

Let me give you a few facts to indicate the prosperity and profit that may result from care in the dairying industry. A few evenings ago, sir, met Mr. Israel Boiet, of Davis Junction, Illinois, who, although he has not been honored like you, has been identified with the soil trom childhood, and who at seventy with his vigor, enthusiasm and manhood a standing rebuke to lethargy and idleness. In xS6S and tgyo he told me that in thedi tri embracing Elgin. Mare-go, Belvedere, Rc'cMbrd aid Ruchelle the were only two crca ne ies—o»e opera I by J. 11.

Th» fi»ll wingia the address delivered by Francth D. Moulton, of New York, before tie slate dairyman's a-sojiation an* a number of citizens, at the court house on Wednesday evening:

MR PRESIDENT AND LAIHKS ANL GBN'TLUMES—As I look around this audience I see men who have b?en conspicuous in service to their country whose names will stand high on the roll ot fame, before whom I an almost appalled. They bave been actors and o/ators. I am no orator—only a s.mple business man, comfjrted by your courtesy for the utterance of a few facts and th* expression of a few thoughts. In me there is no touch of greatness save that far off touch to know well I am not great. My heart is in my mouth, but it en not taste bad 1 feel in your presence and facing the :nferest.s which you represent a degree ot' responsibility 1 can hardly express. I f.el like the artist who, entering one of the galleries of Europe to paint a picture of the Madonna—the mother ot' Christ, the author of civilization and the benediction of Christianity —fell upon his knees, asking the father in heaven to fi I his whole soul before hi* work with the lesson of the picture. Tur.iingti you, Mr. Chairman, I am not unmindful of the honor conferred upon me through your introduction, for you are an honored son of mother earth. The puriy of your purpose, the simplici ty of your lift', i)e^i:ning to years ago and more as a fanner, has saved you frotT) the frost that deadens impulse, and gives you at three score years and ten the importance, force ana influence that distinguish the enthusiasm of manhoo.l'h prime. I ho.ior you, and when I parellel you, mii nbjrin^ my own state, with Horatio Seymour, farmer, pa riot, ftatesnrm and governor, I do you tio injustice, and only add another laurul to the wreath which covers his brow, dignifying him as your laurtls dignif, you, on account of his identification w.th the agricultural resources this country, that ultimately, yea, even now, must be and are 'he fjunda ion ofour solvency, properity and advancement, morally, intellectually and pecuniarily. I ha\e been traveling lor a good while through the agricultural district* of the east and west I have visited Little Falls and Utica, the leading intrrior market* for bu t/r and cheese in the r-a*t Meadville. Cleveland, White Water, Elgin and Chicago, ami all or the dairyi districts of she ea-t and the wtsc uLo\li...i to these points, ur.d although 1 haxeeoine in contact with the repre*• nw t.ve men of various and important industries, I have never fou id one represented professionally and Irotii a busine.s pjtut of view by men of greater intelligence and enterprise than most iden iSed wi \e industry of which 1 am'talking i.ow. I teel perfectly Hire that ttife tin !cn«:y of their enterprise is t.j divide up the large estate of this country, and particular 4f the west, into small tarms owned by their occupants. H.re, now, in Inuian'a I may justly invi.e attention to the knowledge and inl »'-niation imparted by such men as Professor Stewart, Ar. olit, Harris Lewi, Baldwin, Realu an o:hers. If you wll Consult, from the report of the proceedings of the American dairymen's convention at Cleveland, what Professor Stewart 6*id about the e:on )iny of labor on th? firm, what Bal-lwin—t.ie best idge, piobably ot stock in ths world—expressed concerning the breeding of cows, what Arnold said ot milk and its care, what L,wis gave with reference? to the gen*rAl interests of the trade, what Reale said with refereice the commeice resulting from the manufacture ot butter and cheese, you will certainly discover your own state the reason and points of guilance in and for an industry that will add to your wealth greatly and relieve yoj fio the production ot crops like wheat and corn, that deplete your soil, in favor of another, the tendency of which will be to enrich it through tne stock kept on it, and to relieve the drudgery which makes the farmers'* life uninviting, unprofitable and monoionus, discouraging an depressing.

ha^». b.v

care, trade the yield from his diary 100 cows, 314^ pounds per cow, which he sold at an average net price of 38 cents per pound, making the average money yield ot each cow $ 120, with an addition of $10 per cow for the sour milk. He told me, with the enthusiasm of a boy, that he had not placed his mark higii enough, ar.d that his next standard would be four hundred pounds per cow. Mr. Boi located at liis present place less than a year ago, in a district which was new to the dairy business, and has raised the production of his butter to the highest class. He the principal originator of meal feeding, which is r.o.v practiced entirely- in the great dairy district of Illinois. I mention these facts to show that Indiana may succeed as well in dairying as any other state, and 1 furthermore offer them to you because they furnish an incentive to profitable industry which, as vou, sir, have borne witness to me to-day, has been neglected in favor of depleting crops, btef caitle and fast horses, and as another ha* told me your butter pioduct is

poor that he would pit the state of Indiana for poor butter against any three states in the Union. Your own Mr. Churchman, within a few miles of this city, can give you the knowledge out of

farm that if followed will lead you to profit that vou have not dreamed of in the ordinary cultivation of the land that has retarded vour growth for years. He constantly adding to his stock of five cows, carefully caring for them, producing an immense and profitable product of milk and butter and raising stock that finds no market at home, but commands good and lucrative prices in the western and southern states near atd adjoining yours. The industry that I advocate for you is ea«y on account of the natural resources of your state you can raise the best grasses and grain, and you have abundant pure water, and all that is needed is a tithe of the attention that has made you conspicuous amongst the gre it grain and stock producing states of the Union. Of course, I r'o not believe that this dai-ying industry a panacea for all woes, but I do believe 1 hat its development af.er the financial problems, which are now in course ot settlement, are settled will lead or help to lead to a prosperity that will make this country rich and independent. You need not be afraid of overproduction if the best lality of butter and cheese is made. When you reflect that one pound of full cream cheese is equal in nourishment to three pounds CM beef, you can see that you make a plea for the consumption of it that will be heard by the almost deaf pockets of the people, amid the munufac urc of grease for butter and skimmed milk cheese tor Jood, for the best that can be made of the best in gredients, and you will make a home conHumption that, added to the great foreign demand, will make ove, oduction too remote for consideration.

You gentlemen of the west have the right thought with regard to the solution of the financial problem of to-dav. I do not wonder at your views. When I read Dunn, Barlow Si C©.'s lit of the dead—dead in bankruptcy—when I consider that the list has kept pace with contraction of the curr»ne\ and when we read the list of burial -, from the bankruptcy court records, and aim jst see the hearses that are carrving the reihains of enterprises to their trial, and hear the wails from desolate hones—desoljte by fraud—gentlemen, the r.corded mistry is but a tithe of the des jlution. It is no mo'e commensurate with the sum that has been going on than thetists of mur ders and robberies are commensurate with the deaths and fraud that ike place daily in our ountry. The frauds of our finat cial legislation from 1869 until now is appaling. The Sentinel, in favjr of the remonetization of silver, is right. In favor of the repeal of the resumption act is right. I am in favor of both. Let us have the banking business of this country upon a basis hat shall ma'te us independent of panic and financial distress in all the mnney markets of the world. The #oid basis was never adequate anywhere to the business of any coantry in a time of emergency. Let us emancipate ourselves from England and throw their views of finance overboard, as our fathrs did their tea. Let us do business upon a basis that will enable them across me Atlantic to fi^ht if they choose, that -vill enable us tu give them gold as we do grain and cheese and butter, without disaster, but with profit and prosperity. They saj if we remone

silver the

honds will come back. I wish I had ime to treat this question fully, but I say wi hall my heart, and I know you will re-echo the senti nent, let them come. Better that they should be held here than held abrotd. Develop the country with •ur intelligence for the production of the best that mother earth will give for the asking then landholders, not foreign bondholders, will dictate the financial policy of the nation I have many friends in the west like my friend Colond Maynard, of your o'.vn city, who sympathize with this view, and 1 know another in public lift—and I wish he were pnsidrntof this republic—Benjamin Butl* r, who although hilhert3 maligned aiid misunderstood, stands to-day foremost amongst statesmen, qualified by his extraordinary business knowledge and experience to hold the helm that will guide us to a greater consideration amongst thr nations of the eaith than wje have ever known or dreamed of.

The great north w'est hkt" tSSfalpelled attention many important quest'ons, out to none more grave than those which effect the ag.icultural development ot the country. The interests that yr»u in this convention represent, while they effect you personally, are of mote than individual, fu'l knowledge requisite to the dairy in .erests of this section ia absolutely necessary to th? welfare of all. Conventions such as ours are doinjf more toward* suggestions and knowledge for the benefit of mankind than any others I know of, because their influence is tending towards cheap food and a libera: education. The questions which you discuss are discussed beyond party lines or individual interest?, 'and the benetaction which is the gift of your determination and conclusions crosses the threshold of every home. You not only plough the land, and phnt the seed, anil reap the harvest in the field, but you turn the furrows of the mind and soul, en richingthe one with intelligence and enn ibling the other with ie fruits of a higher civiliza ion. When you have given to the farmers of the land the kno .v ledge of stock breeding and the intellige. ee that is involved in feeding and raising cattle, when you ha\-e imparted the wisdom that gives flavor 10 the grasses, and have indicated how, with the utmost economy, the greatest rssult3 in monov value may be you have turoi hed the means by wi.Lh the. menial labors and drudgery of the household may be lightened, the income fron which school houses can be built, and the circumstance ut.der which children can be better born. Whe'i we make the plea fr home. -There is no moral a'ity essential to the welfare of mankind that is n^t tonsonant and mainly dependent upen this knowledge. The plowman, aflci God, ii the firot civilizer. The first tree felled reverberated the psalm that warmed and gladdened his ho ne, and the harvests that he has gathered since have helped to feed mankind. Before your great cities of the west were built or your prairies, peopled ti* father of waters waited, and for what? Before civilization dawnfej here two rivers only broke the silence that covered the metropolis of the new world, and for wha' The ocean roiled listlessly, uncut by ships, and for what? To-day the whole land is ribbed with iron, and for what? In silence the messages of fetate to state aad empire to empire go over the tfires, because of what? Qmnicience waited for the plowman, and science and civilization have only been the executors of His will, and yet, in the light of present intelligence, how inadequate his knowledge of the results he might achieve.

country, from boyhood until now, and al though the enthusiasm of my manhood for agriculture has been stimulated by my intercourse with your people, it has been a plant of slow but steady growth. My heart has ached many a lime on account of the privations that I have seen suffered in the country. I inherit a sympathy with want and ignorance from a mother who must hear me now. My first knowllge of the farmer was received through visits made with her for the alleviation of sufferers through penury, and I feel if there is a heaven (and I believe there is) it smiles through heron me fjr this my plea in behalf of knowledge for those who need it. It is for you who have in charge the deve'opement of the agricultural resources of tht country to say how short or how long shall be the time for the establishment of a higher civilization through the farm.

The stability of the country to-day through its agricultural resources, furnishes the only sound financial bavs on which the money neces9ary for circulation can be founded, and it can be continued indefinitely if they are fostered through essential knowledge. Cill the non-producers from Wall street and om the Counting rooms to the tarms, and the country will not be convulsed with mercantile disasters. Fertilize the fields and the ring of silver will be as grateful as the sound of gold Go on with your development and the humble sixpence will outlive and outbuy the siuggish sovereign.

Fortunately the issues we are considering are not sectional. Men may have differed as methods and systems, but intelligent men have alwavs recognized their importance and the nece9iity of their true and practical solution. Vir ginia furnished a Jefferson, devoted to agriculture Massachusetts a Webster, who ranked the plough above the forum New York a Clinton, who, guided by the snggestion of nature itself, haptized commerce with the waters of your lakes His name will be remembered by the poor to the last generation, and they will break cheap bread as a memorial of him forever. Le me state to you one practical fact, the product of his consideration of the ne essi'ies of agriculture. The canal system of the state of New York, even when cursed with a management that oppressed the west and inj ired the east, saved to producers and consumers as between the sworn cost of transportation by rail and the expense of transportation by canal, when the tolls were six cents on wheat and four cents on corn, $34,000,000 per annum. Thi we?t has given the worlJ a man, stalwart above all in our history, who dared

And brave old wisdom of sincerity."

The dairy i.iterests are attracting a wider attention to-day than ever before, and justly. The product exceeds $300,000,000 annually, and I am glad to know that its quality at the west is as good as the best pioduced anywhere. It can be imoroved tcjr the benefit and enrichment of all by imparting to all the knowledge and experience given here. The improvement will be rapii, unices it is fo j!ishlv concluded that your collective and individual dui.y is discharged and ceases when your conventions adjourn.

You can be economicle in a shanty living on bread and water. I don't like bread and water as a steady diety, and I don't recommend it even to the poor. Prudence may degenerate, and may become meanness distrust of your mission will make (u timid of expenses. I want the hovel wlwre people are half starved to graduate in the farm house and a well appointed home instead of bread and water, cheese and butter and meat, good as well as cheap. I wan a decent ime for all to live in. And, theiet re, I ask you to disseminate ihe knowledge that will give all to all.

or they have the significance which I at tribute to their ultimate influence. When I argue with reference to their importance I do not think of one man or oi the interest or of an association of men, or

the interest of a single community. My thought is of the interests of the' whole people interests that you can not help effecting, if you would through the influence of your conventions. You may throw around yourselves limitations that will make progress slow or by stepping to the highest plane of the knowledge you may impart. You can discover how aimost limitless you mav be in the beneficence with yu can bless mankind. I make no trivial plea. I do not occupy the platform of dletanti, asking attention to sound without sente, to words without meaning to rhetoric beautiful, but useless, for I know that the ignorance with reference to farming is a curse, and that intelligence is a blessing. I knjw that insanity is more frequent in the farming community than in any other. A few days ago I was at Elgin, II linois, where a well appointed insane asylum arrested attention before its school houses came into view, and I knew that they the wives of the farmers "troubled deap heaven with their bootless cries." fuses are desolate, for the mother has gone. They aie the victims of drudgery and monotjny on the farm. Evi ry heart-rending shriek I heard was a protest against ignorance and an appeal to God Almighty for intelligence. You here are fathers and husbands, brothers and sons, and my appeal for knowledge that should gladden the home and lighten its burdens will but echo the voice in the pathos of the utmost contralto of your wives and your daughters—of the mothers now and those who are to be the mother*hereaf.er. My plea is not for the dead, but for the living—for the tight-seeing, not the blind—for the sane, not the insane. Neglect the duty that I urge, and you will be as foolish as if you lighted a candle tor the blind man and spoke for imbeciles and fools

When I rcflect fully upon all that concerns you, and then let fancy play th ojgh all the hopes that I have for you, I think of a night stormy and dark, when I sat bv my window looking out upon the pluv of the elements. 1 saw the vivid lightening split the 'mountain clouds, till the blue heaven beyond them was revealed. One flash and the resounding thunder then another and another, until at last all the clouds were burnt and the sta^s came out and the m/on, and it was as if there had been no sVorm. These clouds I think ol as the tensity or the ignorance you are undertaking to illume, and the lightning stands for the intelligence v/ith which you are lifting the darkness until the brightness of a wisdom almost heavenly shall break with its million star*, and every s.ar a hope, over every farmhouse in the land, lean almost see the fulfillment of tue promise which these conventions of men and worn, give of lulu re greatness and goodness I commend you, in the patience of you. in Jus trv ar.d hopes, to the trees of your orchard and your forest You will no it you closely Lok at them, find one despondent. You will find the poorest twig even at the end of every branch holding itself lik an upturned palm ol a suppliant awaiting bounty, How patiently they wait, and how surely the gift of spring comes, Rain does not drown, nor shall destroy their hope, and the bud and the blossom and the fruit appear in an swer to the whispered pray er which ou may hear today if you turn a willing ear to the trees as they sway to with the breath cf heaven. Let be patient too and hopeful a- trustful as the tree, and soon the bud and blossom and sweet frui.ag of your labor will drop upon a grac ful world. The first bud of it will gladden you as a new born babe a mother. Its first blossom will be like the promise of manhood, and its fruit like the tulmeot of life and whe you come to pass away, a.- the leaves fall in autumn, with all the spring and summer in them, to warm them, to warm again the earth for next year's blessing all that you have lived and done will but renew and increase for ttie coming wi'.h the glory of your benediction. 1 have seen a leaf fall and, though blown hither and thither, find its place a: lat at the very base of the tree and underneath the same branches that bore ir, and it could not help giving back its beauty and its strength, renewing its life in tne reproduction of a greater strength and purer beauty, and so may it by with yoa, and so will it be. The roof tree tnat covers you now will cover you then, and the home you brighten will be re ighted with your light multiplied through your children and vour children's children.

I can not close without a tribute to the recent national dairy fair held in Chicago, where cheese was exhibited that would not curse its consumers with indigestion, and butter tried that was wholesome instead of being unfit for a dog. That fair has suggested another which will be continental and world wide in its OLD SI GIVES HIS ESTIMATE significance. I refer to the American

dairy fair, organized at the Cleveland convention, and advocated and approved al Meadville, to be held in the city of New York, next autumn. Held in the metropolis of the country, it will invite the attention of the commercial representatives ot all nations to your great and growing industry, and will open up new markets that will make overproduction of your product impossible, if you make its quality goo 1, and it is possible 1 hat this fair shall lead to the abolition of that inadequate bureau at Washington which pretends to fo6ter the agricultural resources of the country by the gift of decayed and worthless seeds, and in its place we shall have in the cabinet of the president a mini.-ter of agriculture and commerce, whose functions in the time to come will be more important than the offices of the secretary cf state or ministei of war, and who may perhaps save us from the disaster of a second class man as secretary of the treasury, whose duty will be easy when the full harvest is gathered.

We are yet as little children in this subject of agriculture, and I co.nmend to you in its consideration the wisdom of Solomon. When God said to him, ''Ask what I shall give thee," and Solomon said,

am but a little child, I know

not how to go out or to come in: give, therefore, Thy servant an understanding heart to judge Thy people, that I may^ discern between good and bad." And God said unto him: "Because thou hast asked this thing and hast not asked for thvself lo.ig life, neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies, but ha*t asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment, behold

have done according to thy

world. Lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart, so that there was none like thee before thee neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches ana honor, so that there shall not be any among the bengs like unto thee all thy day*."
