stand-still ; that in consequence of ill health he had not been able 
to enter into the subject before; but that now the Committee 
should be re-appointed, or that a Registrar be elected, as the time 
had arrived for the attempting to obtain an addition to the list 
already prepared. 
Mr. Ernes said, that he had been a member of the Committee, 
but that the labour had been carried on by Mr. Arthur Cherry, 
and he could not see any one more fitted to be appointed as Regis- 
trar than that gentleman, and moved that he be appointed. 
Mr. Jas. Turner seconded the motion, which was carried with- 
out opposition. 
Mr. Arthur Cherry said he had undertaken the duties of Regis- 
tration, not from any partiality for the office, but from its being 
requisite; that he never liked it, and the more he saw of it, from the 
apathy and indifference, the insults he had received, and the trouble 
given by nonsensical inquiries and expectations, he disliked it 
the more ; but if any business was undertaken, however distaste- 
ful it might be, it ought to be carried out. 
The Secretary laid a draft of the Registration Certificate before 
the Board, which was approved of. 
The Secretary gave notice respecting certain alterations pro-

tion. As this notice must, by the requirements of the Charter, be 
suspended for three months, no discussion on its merits ensued : 
this being deferred till the matter was brought forward in its digested 
shape.

A Hint to Farmers. 
When our calves and lambs are taken too soon from the dam, 
and turned, with little or no experience, into the pasture, they eat 
indiscriminately every herb that presents itself, and many are lost. 
Had they been suffered to browse a little while, or a little longer, 
with the mother, she would have taught them to distinguish the 
sweet and wholesome herbage from the deleterious and destructive. 
This is a point of agricultural economy not sufficiently attended to.
