giving each purchaser card calling for

of care taken of the cow. The adultera
ton of milk is on the decrease. Toe
principal way that milk is to-day adul-
terated is by the adding of skinned milk
or water or the removal of the cream.
England and America still continue to
use milk without preservatives, except to
put it through process for killing germs
and bacteria
Mr.. Lane advocated the distribution of
milk iD the cities by bottles. to insure tue
customers from being duped by fraudulent
dealers, who are constantly pc. lutiDg the
milk with some adulterating Ingredients.
He also thought that COWS suffering from
tuberculosis should be separated from the
herd and their milk sterilizsd or Pasteur-
lied.
One of the farmers stated that the State
was imposing on the dairymen by killing
the COWS affected with tuberculosis aud
not compromising the owners su ficiently
A lively discussion was oocasioned and
several dairymen ventilated their opinions
on the Law regarding tuberculosis. The
test was discussed and it was the con-
census of opinion that the test was not
lnfallible. Director Dawley, of New
York, said: The farmers have no
right to demand of the State money for
diseased cattle. 1t is optional with the
dairymen whether he will call 10 the
State Commission to examine cattle that
indicate tuberculosis and the appraisers
ia giving the owner of the diseased
animal one quarter of Ter value, prior to
the discovery of the disease, more than
sufficiently remunerates the man for his
loss."
Professor Bryon d. Halsted, State
Botanist, illustrated the subjects of
Asparagus Rust. Cause and Treat
ment;" also, 'Noxious Weeds, Their
Effect on Crops, Soil and Moisture" In
the course of his remarks he said that the
origin of the asparagus rust could not be
determined, but it had spread with such
rapidity that its effectual eradication
would be matter of years, and probably
centuries.
These diseases that constantly confront
US travel this country over. They go
with the winds. and you, as farmers, by
carelessness, probably unintentional, only
serve to perpetuate the diseases. The
ground rot that is so prevalent among
potatoes in some localities, from reports,
is spreading, while from other sections
we learn that the rot seems to be losing
its force as factor in destroying the
happiness of the farmer.
This closed the program, and with
few words from Secretary Dye, the
institute adjourned and its addresses and
discussions cannot help but be helpful to
our farmers.
