AYRSHIRE Meeting.

G. M. Winslow, secretary of Brandon,
writes The goth annual meeting of the
Ayrshire Breeders Association was held
at the Narragansett Hotel in Providence,
r. l., on the 9th of January, 1895.
There were about fifty breeders of Ayr
shlres present.
The officers elected for the year ensu
ing were Obadiah Brown, Providence,
president; H. r. C. Watson, Brandon,
L. S. Drew, Burlington, II. Belts. Wei
lington. o., John Stewart, Elburn, Ill.,,

r. l., treasurer; S. NJ. Wells, Wethers-
field, Conn, J. o. Magic, Elizabeth, N.
j., executive committee; C. NJ. Winslow.
Brandon, j. D. w. French, N. Andover.
Mass, editing committee.
Mr.. Henry E. Smith. treasurer report
ed 81, 142. II in the treasury.
The secretary reported five new men,
bers the past year, also that Ayrshires
were reported as in unusually good de-
mand and at higher prices in New Eng
land and Canada, with fair demand n
the Middle States (prices not mentioned).
The present trouble with tuberculosis
in the North and East has made good
demand for Ayrshire bulls to cross on
high grade and unregistered Jerseys, ex-
periencc having found the cross to make
very superior dairy COW of strong con-
stitution and not liable to disease.
The committee on Home Dairy Tests
reported the herd of E. B. Sherman,
Harrisville, r. 1 , as winning the Asso-
citation prize, on an average of 1911 per
cent total solids. The Association au-
thorized the committee to continue the
Home Dairy Tests for the year 1895.
Prof. j. L. Hills, director of the Yer
mont Experiment Station, gave very
instructive lecture on "VaratiOn of Milk
and Milk Testing Qllustrated). 1t was
in direct line with the Home Dairy Tests,
and the general opinion of all the breed
ers was to take such stand and offer
such prizes as would place the average
Ayrshire cow on basis of 4 per cent.
butter fat and 13 per cent. total solids.

Are You In Il?

MIR. Chas B. Spahr of Columbia University has
recently examined the records of the Surrogates
of thirtv-five counties in TIE State of New York,
covering the last three months of 1898 and includ-
ing the counties of New York and Kings, the
richest in the State. The resul are remarka.
BILE showing how few peopl leave any estate
at all and the low average values of the estate
left
Out of 10000 persons over twenty-five years Of
age dying during the quarter, only
SS5 left estates equal to or exceeding 5000
2466 q averaging 1899
664g " valued al OOO0
Think oft! Less than per cent were worth
5000, end less than p per cent were worth 1892
when they died. The conclusion is that whether
91l5 out of every 10000 leaves an estate of So 900
or not depends upon whether they have life in
surance for that amount or not.
