Secretary Bliss read paper from the
Line Stock Journal, upon General Dairy
interests"
The secretary read the following SEN
teAce in letter from Charles Seymour of
Lacrosse 1.-THE dairymen's association Of
Vermont and New York have done, and
are doing, more in strengthening the foun-
dalton of domestic commerce than oil the
other instrumeutalities combined"
The president stated that on account Of
the non-arrival of many persons who were
expected by the noon train, the paper of
Mr.. Blanding would be deferred until the
afternoon.
There being general desire expressed to
listen 10 Prof l.. B. Arnold, secretary of
| the American dairymeD's association, he
was called upon by Mr. Ilawley to present
the views which have recently been eX-
pressed by Mr.. McAdams of England,
"that allowing cows to drink sagnant and
impure water ia not injurious to dairy pro-
ducts.
MIR. Arnold said that what man does
not discover has not that importance as
testimony as the positive knowledge of
others has. Mr.. Nc adams statement did
not carry with him (Arnold) any strong
impressions. The water alluded to wa.
termed mari water In 1868 Mr. Arnold
was called to discover the cause of tainted
cheese in factory in Tompkins county,
New York, that had existed for two years,

appearing and causing great loss to the fac
tory. The source had been traced to the
milk of forty cows from one patrons
farm. After much investigation the de-
caying carcass of dead horse was found
in the middle of 100 acre field, and the
farmer stated that the year before two had
been there. The cessation of the tainting
effect was due to the fact that the cows oc-
COWS milk, when they had been in that pas
ture, was, when freshly MIXED, to all ap-
pearances, rs sweet and good favored n:
any milk. BY the time the warm milk had
been carried two miles in closed cans the
oder OF faint became perceptible-the mi
croscopic germs of a ferment had com
menccd to work and in the vat of curd-
produced an intolerable smell. The buria
of the carcas forever settled the trouble
One such circumstances as this outweigh
, all Mr.. McAdams says, cheese made from
tainted milk taints the breath when eater
, AS poisoned cheese does, giving one baC
breath Immediately. The ferment is car
) red into our bodies.
! Mr.. Paris said he had for years seen hi
, cows pass through a running stream of fin
clear water to get to drink some stagnan
g swamp water on his place, and asked if /
could be explained.
a Mr.. Arnold could not account for ii. II
hau observed similar things, Anoihe
point in Mr. McAdams' argument was tina
,, the cows system sifted out the impurities
, That statement is true in part. He ha
1 known fourteen out OF fifteen COWS to drinl
impure water with impunity- TO b
! affected one day and not another by tn
same water. He mentioned al instance 0
4 a cow eating rotten potatoes on place il
Delaware county, New York, whose mil
' spoiled the batch-,he butter was spoile
D and the buttermilk made those who dram
4 it sick. The putrefacive germs deve
oped in the milk and the system of thOa
/ who drank it. Tainted milk contained
E larger per cent. % albumen oil, yet mad
less cheese by sne-ffth. Cows are muc
the creatures of habit in the kind of waite
q they prefer. He thought they liked sol
r water best, and that SOFT water made NOR
7 brittle, finer looking butter, and frme
7 cheese, and that by examining dairy pre-
p. ducts he could tell if they came from sol
/ or hard water region, They like waite
i between 60 o aud 70o temperature best.
: DR.. Middleton Goldsmith spoke of tw
2 well known cases Of milk carrying the ty
f phoid fever poison, and that it was prove
to arse from the milk vessels being washe
in water tainted with the excrcment of pei
i sons having typhoid fever, and not fror
i tho COWS drinking the water.
During the foregoing discussion man
p persons made remarks and inquiries
: including Mr.. Hawley, DR., Lord, Dl
Craft, A. b. Armstrong, n. l.. Ruth
> erford, and Mr.. Ellsworth, of Massachu
q sets.
