read paper on The dairy cow He said
the Ayrshire, in his opinion, was the best
Gov foG Vermont dairymen as it comss
from part of the world where the con1i-
ton of the country and climate are most
| like Vermont. The milk OF tue Ayrshire
was more easily di%ested than that of other
cows, ana in quality it was only slightly
| inferior in butter fat to the milk of the Jer-
seys.
r. w. Whitney G. Springfield. VT,
spoke on private datrying, saying that if a
farmer was wiling to he could secure Il
reputation for making the best quality of
butter, but ii he was inclined TO be indoent
! he had better patronize the creamery asso-
| citation.
Th, afternoon session was largely given
up to DR.. Austin Peters of Boston, who read
an interesting paper on "tuberculosis. "
| This disease, he said more com
monty called consumption, and WAS q germ
nature aud about the same in an animal as
in man. He described the process and de-
| velopment of this disease and the kind o
animals most susceptible to it, Jerseys and
Guernseys are the most susceptible. A mar
row chest indicated predispostion; moist
climates show It's existence more frequently

mont.
At the evening session, Hon. A. Judson
Smith of the department OF agriculture at
| Washington, ID. c., delivered an address on
the disposal Of farm products. Farmers
should aim to send to market the best kin ~.
OF products, and should seek new mark Is.
The old countries o. Europe would furnish
large markets for the butter and cheese.
The cheese of EIam had world
wide mark. Vermont cheese nigh,
make an equally large marhes. Butter
and cheese should be made uniformally
good 50 that the confidence OF the consumer
and buyer would be gained If II shipment
Of an inferior quality is made II is hard to
regain the confidence lost. Look after thc
feed OF the animal, see that il is GOOD never

lessening the profit and loss Of reputation.
The COW VIII respond to judcal feeding and
proper care and give good returns therefor.
Jonn Gould OF Ohio gave talk on enstl-
age and the best way to construct a silo.
lie said we raised n 000 600 bushels of corn
last year, only a small proportion Of which
was consumed in this country. When you
plant corn plant that wnich will grow in the
locality. Do not plant corn too deeply,
ptnnt 1t singly as you can out Of the hills.
The first slo as built on the Speakers farm
and a wooden silo has been found to outla ST
a stone one Well put up, ensllage does not
need air space in tho silo. An expensive
silo ls unnecessary aud clay floor in a si,o
is the best for keeping. The man who can
spare portion of the floor in his barn docs
not need an outside sio. There is no cheap
er food for cattle than ensilaEs, ench acre
keeps three COWS through the winter.
