EVENING SESSION.
| At the evening session the sheel
wis dropped out of notice for time
while F. j. Barry, of the Chicago
stock yards, took up the horse. Mr.
Barry has been a horse dealer all hi.
life. and probably knows more about
the equine than any Otner man in the
United States. He has bought anu
sold more horses than almost an!
other man in the nation, and knows
al about ttat noble animal. Mr..
Barry states that new era Is dawn
ing for the horse breeder. The de-
mands for export are greater than
ever before, ard he anticipates that
within two years $4,000 horses will a
required for export. These though
must be good horses, not the ordinary
plug They must be horses OF good
size, form and action, horses that can
get up and go, and at the same time
draw load behind them. He advises
flrmers to begin now breeding for the
export trade, and exercising care and
judgment 10 the selection of both
sires and dams. Mr.. Barry advises
thoroughness in every class of farm
ing and especially in the breeding of
horses. He maze many useful sug-
gestions to the farmer, which if. fol.
lowed will result in good to them.
Next DR.. Withycombe, state veter-
mary, was Introduced and entered

Withycome says, is more susceptible
To tnis disease than any other, es-
pecially whel confined to dairy barns.
and throuy tie milk and other dairy
products can lue uisease be readily
transmitted To human beings. He
Lulds the disease is not hereditary but
and may be transmitted
from Ghe IunsuIntIve to the COW, and
from her agaIu 10 the human being.
He therefore re, that the greatest
caution he exerc.srd to prevent the
spread of the disease among animals
lsed for dairy purposes. No cure was
suggested. in fact there is none, but
are many, and should be
upplied. Principal among these, the
loctor holds, are sunlight and fumiga.
