As things now are the railroads and
the farmers cannot get along without
each other. His remarks awakened a
good deal of interest and enlightened
some who supposed that the railroad
and not the middlemen were eating in
to their profits. DIR. Sholes of East
Dummerston made some interesting re-
marks upon tuberculosis in cattle. He
said the disease was difficult to detect.
1t creeps along slowly. 1t is transmit
ted from one generation to another. 1t
is found in gilt edge dairies. One must
be on his guard against it. Look out
where you buy cows. Ohio and Penn
sylvania are hot beds of this disease.
He gave some of the symptoms of the
disease and thought il necessary for
each man to watch carefully his own
cows.
The evening session opened with
discussion Of recent investigation of
j. b. Sandcrson's cattle at Highgate,
supposed to be afflicted with pleuro-
pneumonia. This discussion was cut
short by the appearance of J. II. Dodge
the statistician of the agricultural de-
partment of the general government.
This address was made up mostly of
figures OF speech and was useful. not
ornamental. Some others made re-
marks and then upon motion of Prof.
Cooke the meeting came to a final adj
journment.
