more was full of interest. though the
number of members in attendance was
smaller than was anticipated.
The main point to outline work for the
immediate future action of the aSsocia-
ton was well attended To.
Numerous plans with their good and
objectionable points were discussed and
the number simmered down to what are
hoped to be two that will work out well
, and prove to he exceedingly interesting
to dairy devoteeS by the ideS of October.
The plans will be developed in time
by the committees in charge of the work.
We emily have to say. watch. and wait
for your chance. fellow dairymen. to
profit by the work of this association.

The few papers read at this meeting
contained many practical points of value

to reach the objective points. but there
was perfect harmony as to the ends to be

Altogether the best and, we trust, the
most useful meeting of this young asso
citation has just been held under the most
| favorable auspices. We regret exceed

stead of tens of our friends to go over
the fine drives and see the wonderful
beauties with which mans art has
decorated the denudcd old CALLED hill

up by SUGGESTIONS of flowers of various
| kinds. all of indigenous species so nicely
arranged as to present the most natural
and therefore most beautiful effects.
The nicely graded smooth drives. wind
ing in and out among the trees and

of drives taken all too short; and the
