still more susceptible 10 unhealthy iDflu-
ences. The system adopted by Messrs
Cooley & Hardin did away with some of
those difficulties, but there is one objection.
The animal odor is retained by their pro-
cess, which odor Injuries the butter Ia
reply to several queries he said that the food
and condition Of the COW affect the cream
as regards It's changing to butter. When
cream IS allowed to stand too long it will
have the effect to cause 1t to come hard, or
not at all, and further the butter from sour
cream is as good as that from sweet and
will keep longer.
In reply to Mr.. Campbell of Pnuliney
to the inquiry why some butter will keep
while other apparently as good will not
keepl Arnold replied, that it was owing to
difference in feed; difference in care,
and lastly to the manner of churning. Most
of the butter is churned too much, some
parts are churned more than others, aud
become broken and like an egg. Where
broken they soon decay. He recommend
ed the old dash churn, with dasher that
nearly filled the diameter of the churn, or
the oscillating churn which brought the
butter all at once. The quality of butter is
| also injured in working. Here in reply to
F. W. Moseley of Poultney he described
the appearance of butter when the graia Is
not broken.
At this point Mr. MickleJohn of Putnam,
N. Y, gave his experience in butter max
ing. Had come thirty milns to hear Prof
Arnold; his method of manufacture was in
most respects similar to that Of Prof. AT
mold he thought it made no difference
whether much or little salt was used, that
the butter wouli absorb no more than it
needed he expelled the butter milk by ex-
htI fpr 20. nf
pounds, Prof. Arnold resumed his remarks
by saying that salt did not keep butter, on
ly favored il; had examined specimens
from Denmark a. Vienna, Austria, at the
exposition, and the same at Philadelphia
laet year, and found it in 60, condition,
although no salt was. used. Salt fss,ens
the color of butter, but does not impart col
or. He replied to Mr. A. Ellis Of Ira, that
revolving churn should have fall of TWO
feet, and 10 Mr.. Campne of PJultney,
that carrot juice FASTENED the decay of but
ter but gave II a very pleasant tarte.
After sel' c,ion by the G',e club, Hon.
Harry Lewis the CELEBRATED Herkimer
county dairy man made snort address and
| said that he was usually call d upon to ci--
perse the crowd, and usually pucct ed, d
very well. That the chairman looked more
like an hons st man than WHEN be parted
aith him 10 the New York Legislature me
toeu years before hut be hoped the people
would return him. He did not recommend
the use OF sowed corn as grass WAS the ma
tural food for cattle, that corn f. ddT was
no more fit for a COW than the juice of corn
was fir for mau. He made hls land very
rich, sowed early matured grasses and cut
two crops, the lstter serving for fall feed
for his cattle Gould make butrer from
grass that would last lIrger than any made
ron grain harvested from an acre three
tons Of hay. He in see ing pastures used
grasses that matured at fferent periods
aud thus secure constant supply of fresh
feed. This is the gisL of Mr. Lewis re-
marks.
THE EVENING SESSION
was called 715, and music was rendered by
Glee club, then the chairman introduced
Prof. Noah Cressy, who addressed the meet
ing on the subject of veterinary science.
He was pleased TO meet the people of Yer
mort and the distinguished gentleman
Prof. Arnold. He discussed TO some length
the necessity of q more thorough knOwl-
edge of comparative anatomy, and the loss
that resulted to the farmers by reason of
ignorance. The worst enemy of the farm
er, 10 the farmer himself he is a conserva-
tive. He blocks the way 10 his own ad-
vancement, by not caring for knowledge in
regard to his calling. He cid not wish to
make COW doctors or horse doctors but to
elevate his profession to higher ground than
it occupied in the opinions of men. Boys
| should study something that is useful as
well as that which tends to develop the in
tellectual faculties. He then proceeded to
the discussion of his theme-the diseases of
our domestic animals. He said that the dis
ease known as 'horn all" did not originate
in the horn, neither was it the seat of the
disease. All horned cattle at a certain
age, have hollow horns. That disease
which is termed "horn all" is catarrhal fe-
yer and its symptoms are manifested in
the horn, and boring the horn is simply like
removing the bung from barrel, it gives it
vent and tho result is food of matter
from the nose. Such men as Mason, Lewis
and Arnold, do not work up the milk of
diseased cattle and when veterinary sci
ence shall be understood, the butter of Yer
mont will rank as high as that of New
York. lu regard to BLACK Tush" in the
hog be said that typhoid fever or other dis
ease manifested itself upon the tooth of the
hog, and pulling the teeth would not rem
edy the evil ''black tush" was an internal
disease, and must be treated by internal
remedies.
Wolf teeth in horses were very much on
the same plan. They did not cause blind
ness. The weakness of the eye was owing
to sympathy that existed between the or
gans of the head and did not result from
the teeth.
Inreply to j. w. Rowe of Wells, he said
that there was such a thing as grub in the
nose, but not in the head. That they re-
suited from a fly, something similar to the
bot fly ; thty were deposited in the nose of
the sheep and there became a parasite
There is an other grub in the head caught
fIom dogs which was more properly spe-
ces of tape worm. The subject OF abor-
tlon in COWS was discussed by him and
Harry Lewis to some length, but space will
not admit of the details.
