W. Peck, of the _Sun_, recently delivered an address before the
Wisconsin State Dairyman's Association. The following is an extract from
the document:
_Fellow Cremationists:_ In calling upon me, on this occasion, to enlighten
you upon a subject that is dear to the hearts of all Americans, you have
got the right man in the right place. It makes me proud to come to my old
home and unfold truths that have been folded since I can remember. It may
be said by scoffers, and it has been said to-day, in my presence, that I
didn't know enough to even milk a cow. I deny the allegation; show me the
allegator. If any gentleman present has got a cow here with him, and I can
borrow a clothes-wringer, I will show you whether I can milk a cow or not.
Or, if there is a cheese mine here handy, I will demonstrate that I
can--_runnet_.
The manufacture of cheese and butter has been among the earliest
industries. Away back in the history of the world, we find Adam and Eve
conveying their milk from the garden of Eden, in a one-horse wagon to the
cool spring cheese factory to be weighed in the balance. Whatever may be
said of Adam and Eve to their discredit in the marketing of the products
of their orchard, it has never been charged that they stopped at the pump
and put water in their milk cans.
