MILITARY SCIENCE AND TACTICS. Ixvii 



Besides operating before the class I was able to give some clinical instruction 

 from cases that were brought to the Laboratory by neighboring farmers and 

 others. 



OUTSIDE WOKK. 



I delivered my Wednesday afternoon lecture in regular order, and issued the 

 semi-annual bulletin according to the requirements of the last Legis- 

 lature. 



I attended to the veterinary requirements of live stock in the Horticultural 

 and Agricultural departments of this college. I attended and spoke at those 

 Farmers' Institutes that I was assigned to, and read papers at Breeders' Insti- 

 tutes in this State. In the capacity of State Veterinarian I have attended to the 

 various duties required by that office. During the ifutuinn of 1885 I was 

 invited by the Agricultural Department of Purdue University to deliver a 

 course of ten lectures upon veterinary subjects, at that institution, and speak 

 at Farmers' Institutes in different parts of the State of Indiana, but previous 

 engagements prevented my accepting their invitation. 



In the winter of this year I was also requested to attend the Wisconsin Dairy- 

 man's Association, and repeat a discourse upon matters pertaining to dairy cattle, 

 which I had previous y delivered to the Northwestern Dairyman's Association, 

 at Mankato, Minn., but the time of the meeting clasied with our own insti- 

 tutes, so I was unable to attend the Wisconsin convocation. I was also invited 

 by the University of Minnesota to take part in Farmers' Institutes in tiiat 

 State, but in this case I had also to decline, as the day they wished me to com- 

 mence the work was the opening day of our own college. 



During the month of September, 1886, I prepared an exhibit from the Vete- 

 rinary Department, to be shown at the State Fair, in Jackson, and also at the 

 Central Michigan Fair, at Lansing, and on both occasions, I have been told, 

 considerable interest was expressed by visitors at the display.
