IQQ BOARD OF AttRIUULTURE. 



failure came from a lack of faith in the business of dairying, and 

 from a reluctance to cooperate and work together tor the good of the 

 community. In some cases the expense of factory was too great, 

 which brought the expense of manufacture high. 



F. W. SiiEPPARD, Belfast, lamented the decline of the business, 

 and said a factory could be sustained in almost any town in the 

 count}', if the farmers had a mind to do it. All that was wanted 

 was for them to go to work and put some effort into the business. 



In the evening Francis Barnes of Houlton gave a lecture on the 

 subject: " Shall the Dairy Business of Waldo be continued?" which 

 is not here given. Also W. H. Pearson read a paper: "Oxen on 

 the farm." 



The attendance throughout was good and the interest manifested 

 was an indication that the farmers of the county are studying 

 attentively the conditions and the necessities of their agriculture. 



With compliments exchanged an adjournment was declared.
