ton, Richard Jones, was absent, and.L. ID.
Thomas, of Rush County. was called to the
Chair. w. E. Jackson, OF Knightstown, was
elected Secretary pro tenn. A committee
OF two was appointed TO invite Governor
Gray to address the association, after which
the premium list reported at the meeting of
the Fair managers in st. Louis was
adopted. A paper was then read by T. NJ
Reveal on 1.-THE Relation of Fat Stock Show
TO Swine Breeding" Following the discus
sion OF this paper l. n. Barker read an address
on Hog Feeding for Profit aud Health. :"
The feeding of pumpkins to hogs was then
thoroughly debated il being conceded by
all that they were good feeding for swine a.
all times, and especially in the winter. A
Committee Of Three on Programme was then
aappointed and the meeting adjourned until
evening.
The night meeting was called to order
promptly at $780, and the above mentioned
committee presented an excellent pro.
gramme for next years convention, winch
was adopted. A paper was read by q. Nc

Before adjoining, the meeting discussed
a motion that the State Board of Agriculture
be requested to appoint one man. instead of
three, to award premiums. The majority OF
