Dairymen’s association + 

Leading feeders of our nation, + 

When they promote this grand combine + 

To raise good cows and fatten swine. + 

The cow doth now enjoy her hay, + 

But longs for snow to pass away, + 

So she o’er pasture lands can stray, + 

She dearly loves the month of May. + 

Great source of wealth the cows do yield + 

While they do roam o’er grassy field, + 

Along the banks of crystal stream, + 

Which makes our cheese so rich with cream. + 

And the pigs, they may enjoy their whey + 

Which makes them grow without delay, + 

In the sections they make cheese + 

For it with the hog agrees. + 

It doth expand them every way, + 

Peas and coarse grain makes fat to stay, + 

And to bran slops they won’t say nay, + 

’Mong grass they love to root away. + 

But the pigs, they should all be sold + 

Before that they are nine months’ old, + 

For then they make delicious meat, + 

So young, and tender and so sweet. + 

At the great pork factory of Grant + 

Big fat hogs no more they want, + 

But all the young pigs you can rear, + 

Two hundred thousand every year. + 
