202 AGRICULTURE OF MAINE. 



bull 13 or 14 years old — Canada's Jewell — who has quite a 

 number of daughters in the A. R. of M. and others coming 

 along. This should be a good object lesson to all the dairymen 

 in Maine, — the value of keeping a bull after his worth is 

 known. 



Immediately after the stock judging, there was a demonstra- 

 tion in home mixing of fertilizers, under the direction of 

 P!rof. Simmolns, which was certainly very instructive, and 

 should have been witnessed by all the farmers who mix their 

 own fertilizers. 



After this visit I am more than ever convinced that the Col- 

 lege of Agriculture is in a position to help the farmers and is 

 willing to help along all branches of farming. It is up to us as 

 farmers to try to get in touch with this help and apply it to our 

 business.

Visiting Committee. 



The report was accepted and made a part of the records. 



Mr. L. E. Mclntire, for the committee to secure the appro- 

 priation made by the state for the State Dairy Conference, 

 stated the following : 



I can report in a very few words. We went to the State 

 House and did everything we could to secure the appropriation 

 but we have to report that we failed. The matter was taken up 

 later, however, and we received every attention. Our bill? 

 were finally all paid, and a report of the meetings for the two 

 years was printed. I presume the members have received 

 copies. This was done with money gathered from different 

 appropriations where it had been left over. We have received 

 the kindest support all along the line. 



Voted to accept the report.
