DAIRY MEETING. 135 



Prof. Woods. We had a sample sent up to us from a 

 carload of oats unloaded in Bangor, and they carried ii per cent 

 of foul seeds, besides about four per cent of dirt. 



Wednesday evening, at 8.30, the Sixth Annual Banquet of the 

 Maine Dairymen's Association was served in Abou Ben Adhem 

 Hall. This was an exceedingly pleasant occasion. Much 

 credit is due to Mr. B. C. Brett, in charge of the arrangements, 

 for the attractive menu and the excellent entertainment. The 

 responses to toasts were full of pith and humor. The music 

 by Dana's orchestra and the readings by the genial Prof. Den- 

 nett were highly enjoyed.
