No. 4.] MODERN DAIRYING. 121 



Mr. Newhall. Can you tell what is the best treatment 

 for this disease? 



Ex-Governor Hoard. I have no faith in curing it, but I 

 do know something about preventing it. For two, three 

 or four weeks before she becomes fresh, I am very careful 

 to promote a lax state of the bowels, and after parturition I 

 am very careful to keep her quiet and not have any cold 

 draughts on her. Fever comes first with a chill, and if I 

 can prevent the chill I can prevent the fever. 



Adjourned at 5 p.m. 



Evening Session. 



The evening session was opened at 7.30 o'clock, by Mr. 

 W. B. Barton of Dalton, president of the Berkshire Agri- 

 cultural Society. After several songs by the Oberon Ladies' 

 Quartette, the chairman in a few well-chosen words intro- 

 duced as the speaker of the evening Mrs. Alonzo Towle 

 of Freedom, N. H., whose subject was "The ethics of 

 books."
