MAINE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.-The JAN
uary session of this Board was begun at Farm
ington on Tuesday. The morning session was
occupied in informal matters, and the discus
sion of resolution requiring agricultural
societies to expend one-fourth of the money rs-
ceived by them from the State tor the purpose
of encouraging general or special farm i'm
provements. In the afternoon, the discussion
was upon the re-enactment of the vote of the
Board requiring Agricultural societies to ex-
pend one-fourth of the money received from
the State for the formation, encouragement
and support of Farmers Clubs. The subject
was temporarily laid aside. The Board now
consists of twenty-three members, five of whom
are appointments by the Governor, one chosen
by the State Society and the remainder by
county societies,
On Wednesday forenoon officers for the en-.
suing year were chosen as follows; D. Fl.
Thing of Mt. Vernon, Kennebec county former
Vice President, was chosen President; q. A.
Gilbert, East Turner, Androscoggin county,
was chosen Vice President; S. L. Goodale Of
Saco, Secretary.
Secretary Goodale called the attention of the
Board to the cattle disease known as the Foot
and Mouth Disease row prevailing to an
alarming extent in some sections OF the coun-
try and even in New England While this is
not SO alarming disease as has heretofore pre-
vailed at times among u.s. and does not prove
tatal nevertheless it is working great loss to
farmers in the vicinity where it prevails. He
suggested that it would be well to take some
measures to memoriaIze the legislature to take
some action 10 enforce quarantine regulations
and such other measures as may be deemed
best to protect the farmers of Maine against
this disease. The disease is contagious and has
been in all cases traced to cattle from Canada
brought into the States for SALE The Trustees
OF the Maine State Society have taken meas
ures to do this in behalf of the Society. The
officers of the Board, Messrs. Thing, Gilber,
and Goodale were authorized to confer with
the Committee of the State Society to bring
about the desired object.
A Farmers Convention was opened at 10
O'Clock with the reading of paper by Col.
William SWEET OF Paris on the care and feed
ing of milch cows. The paper gave rise to a
general debate by members. The subject of
Beet Making in Maine and Associated Dairy
ing were also discussed during the session. The
Convention was welcomed to Pennington by
