'Sir. A\’aterhouse asked Dr. Glaisyer what provision was made 
in the State of Utah, where he has been testing cattle for the 
State authorities, for the identification of animals that were tested 
and passed and those that reacted. 
Dr. Glaisyer replied that brass tags were used for identification 
of the reacting animals and aluminum tags for those that passed 
the test ; these were numbered consecutively and a description of 
each cow was taken in case she should lose that tag. 
After further discussion it was moved and seconded that Dr. 
Xorgaard be instructed to cable and arrange for the purchase of 
aluminum ear tags and everything necessary for their attach- 
ment and to design and have made official branding irons with 
which to mark the diseased animals. Carried.

FORESTRY. 
'Sir. Campbell reported that he had seen ^Ir. Davies and had 
learned that the representatives of the Woods Estate are satisfied 
to accept the offer of S7.50 per acre which was made them for the 
forested portion of Kehena II. 
In the matter of straightening the line of the Kohala Forest 
reserve above WAimea village, through a land exchange, iMr. A. 
W. Carter had not wanted to make the proposition as he was a 
member of the Land Board. 
Mr. Campbell said that as nothing of this sort originates with 
the Land Board, there was no objection to the Board’s acting on 
such a proposition. The matter will therefore be brought up to 
the Board by the Superintendent of Public M’orks. 
'Sir. Hosmer said that he had arranged to go over to Waimea 
on July 12, when he will take up matters in connection with this 
proposed exchange on the ground. The main object of the trip is 
the preparation of a planting plan for the area above Waimea 
village for which an allotment has already been made. 
FENCING ON PIHA. 
iMr. Campbell then read a letter from IMr. Hosmer under date 
of June 21, regarding a proposition from T. H. Davies & Company 
in which the Laupahoehoe Sugar Company requested cooperation 
of the government in certain forest fencing in the Hilo forest 
reserve.
