DAIRY AND SEED IMPROVEMENT MEETINGS. 393 



Ans. No, we do not do anything about that, except that the 

 association, if it chooses, can make arrangements with some 

 veterinarian to do their work and can get it done at a discount. 

 That is not necessarih' the work of the association. 



Ques. Can the services of a tester be divided among two or 

 more associations? 



Ans. Yes, although there is no reason why all the dairymen 

 should not belong to the same organization. Our man has a 

 team and drives all the way from Skowhegan to Augusta. 

 But as to whether the services of the tester could be divided 

 among two or more organizations, that of course depends on 

 the number of cows. The tester should have 25 days' work. If 

 it takes two associations to furnish that, it would only be a 

 question of transportation.
