ton About II.

The Indiana Wool Growers Association
held a morning session yesterday, listened
to talks by the Governor and Or. A. w.

holding the next meeting and elected ofi1-
GERS. The officers elected were: President,

C,reencastle: treasurer, John i. Thompson,

Kein of I,adoga, c. A. Rowland of Indian
apolis and w A. Bell of Indianapolis
Strong pressure was brought to bear by
a number of the members TO hold the annual
meetings at places other than Indianapolis,
hut the effort in this direction was defeated.
Although the annual meetings will continue
to be held in this city as heretofore, the
executive committee was empowered, how
ever. to arrange a senl-annual gathering to
meet in August in some city in the northern
part of the State.
DR.. Biting spoke on the subject, Dipping

DDS of Advertising Pure-bred Sheep" The
most interesting address of the morning,
however, was probably that made by Gov
ernor Mount. who furnished a great many
statistics on the sheep industry and entered
a plea with the farmers not to neglect this
important branch of their business. THE de-
mand for mutton and wool is greater than
ever before, said the Governor, and you Will
find there will be an increase of prices for
mutton for some time TO come" The Gov
ernor is u sheep raiser himself and said he
was in the business for the money there
was in il. He advised the buying of COM

been stocking up in beef cattle for the rea-
son that cattle were becoming scarce and the
price of beef was advancing. He urged the
farmer 10 study supply and demand and
thus regulate what he produces In closing
he said that sheep ON the farm more than

STATE VETERINARIANS.
Tuberculosis in Animals a Topic of
Discussion.

The Indiana State Veterinarian Associa-
ton held an afternoon session yesterday in
the Statehouse and wound up the day by a
dinner at the Bates in the evening. The
most important subject of discussion re-
lated to the efforts being made to have the
Legislature pass a law organizing state
veterinarian board with powers similar to
those of the state medical board. The mem
bers of the association believe that their
profession would be elevated and the inter-
ests of the public subserved by requiring
practitioners to be licensed upon the show
ing of a diploma from some reputable coll
lege. The matter was delegated to a COM
mittee consisting of j. r. Mitchell, p. o.
O'Rear and l.. A. Griener with power to
draft a law embodying this idea and to
present it to the Legislature.
There were no set papers delivered at the
meeting, and the discussion was rather in
formal. Or. Biting told of an interesting
case of cowpox that had been found near
Centerville 1t is rare that this disease is
found outside of stations, where it is arti-
ficially produced for the purpose of obtain
ing the bovine vaccine used in vaccination
and when it is so found its origin is said to
be spontaneous. DR.. Boor reported a case
of enciphalitis, or Inflammation of the
brain, due to horse eating pumpkins that
arose over the subject of tuberculosis in
which DR.. Biting insisted III the idea that
all herds supplying incorporated towns
should be subjected to tuberculosis tests,
and the milk bottled and stamped as pure
A committee appointed to draft resolutions
on the subject prepared the following,
which was adopted:
Whereas Milk and meat are staple
products for human consumption and are
more or less influenced by the conditions
under which they are produced; whereas.
animals are subject to diseases which may
affect the milk and meat to the injury OF
those who may use them; whereas tuber-
culosis is a disease of common occurrence
among cattle and may be transmitted to
people, and whereas. tuberculin has been
found to be a reliable diagnostic agent for
tuberculosis; be 1t
Resolved, That it is the sense of the In
diana State Veterinary Association that
there should be a more careful inspection
of all diaries and of animals intended for
slaughter, and furthermore. that we recon-
mend the use of tuberculin as a safe dag
nostic agent for tuberculosis
Officers were elected by the association ~
