germ of hog cholera into that ground, and if the hog had taken 

 serum you have it protected against that organism. 



A Member : The tuberculin and cholera rules should be printed 

 right in the premium list. 



President Estel : I would suggest that it might possibly be a good 

 plan to print these rules and regulations in every premium list. Do 

 you want to take any action in regard to that? 



A Member : I so move. 



President Estel : It has been moved that it be the sense of this 

 meeting that every premium list issued by a fair in Iowa print the 

 rules and regulations as prepared by the Animal Health Commission. 

 Is there a second to the motion? 



Several members seconded the motion and it was carried. 



The next subject that will be discussed is "Concessions and How 

 to Handle Them." This discussion will be led by Mr. L. W. Emery, 

 of Spencer. 



Mr. Emery : I had a paper on this but since I came down here I 

 found a man who had a much better paper and was much more 

 competent to handle it, and I am going to turn this matter over to 

 Mr. M. E. Bacon for discussion. 



Mr. Bacon: Under this head there are the "straight, legitimate con- 

 cession" and the "grafting concession." 



Definition of the word "Concession" is as follows: 1st, act of con- 

 ceding or yielding; admission. 2d, a thing yielded; acknowledgment; 

 admission, grant. 



According to the State Laws of the State of Iowa, all concessions must 

 conform to the art of skill and science. 



Definition of the word "skill": Understanding, judgment, argument, 

 proof, also reason, motive. 2d, Knowledge of, and expertness in, execu- 

 tion of performance, practical ability in art, science, etc., expertness, 

 aptitude. 



Definition of the word "science": Knowledge as of principles or facts. 

 2d, Accumulated and accepted knowledge systematized and formulated 

 with reference to the discovery of general truths or the operation of gen- 

 eral laws; classified knowledge. 3d, Such knowledge relating to the 

 physical world; called also natural science. 4th, Any branch or depart- 

 ment of systematized knowledge. Science, art. Science is systematized 

 knowledge considered in reference to the discovery or understanding of 

 truth; art is knowledge as applied and made efficient by skill. If then, 

 a body of laws and principles as of rhetoric, is exhibited in an ordered 

 and inter-related system they appear in the character of a science. If 

 they are supplied in actual use as to the construction of discourse they 

 become or furnish the working rules, of an art. For example, any 

 game which takes the art of throwing, shooting or working out puzzle 

 with hands or mind come under the head of art, skill, and science.
