AYRSHIRE BREEDERS MEET. 
The American Ayrshire Breeders’ Asso¬ 
ciation held its annual meeting at the Fifth 
Avenue Hotel, New York, January 29. 
About 30 were present. The secretary 
gave a detailed report showing that much 
work has been done and the Association’ 
is in a flourishing condition. Among other 
things he spoke of the need of Increased 
interest in home dairy tests. The treas¬ 
urer reported a balance of $4,201.08 in addi¬ 
tion to $1,143.46 in the secretary’s hands. 
On recommendation of the executive com¬ 
mittee 10 cows were admitted to the ad¬ 
vanced registry, having met all the re¬ 
quirements of the Association. The need 
of proper representation at the St. Louis 
Exposition was discussed, and the presi¬ 
dent and secretary were authorized to ap¬ 
point committees, from one to three in all 
States deemed advisable to confer with 
other breeders’ associations and take need¬ 
ed action to secure a fair share of appro¬ 
priations for the St. Louis fair, to assist 
cattle men in making a creditable showing. 
Prof. Voorhees, of the New Jersey Experi¬ 
ment Station, said that in their tests Ayr- 
shires stand as high as any breed for milk 
production. He emphasized the need of 
care in feeding. He had noticed that a 
great many cows are not properly fed, not 
that they are not given enough, but in 
many cases there is such a lack of uni¬ 
formity as to cause fluctuation in the milk 
flow. This has been largely overcome at 
the Station by growing crops that furnish 
a succession of forage during the season, 
instead of depending on pasture. 
Officers elected for the coming year were: 
President, George H. Yeaton, Dover, N. 
H.; vice-presidents, Obadiah Brown, Provi¬ 
dence, R. I.; Charles C. Doe, South New¬ 
bury, Vt.; Dr. Thomas Turnbull, Jr., Alle¬ 
gheny, Pa., and Etna J. Fletcher, Green¬ 
field, N. H.; secretary and editor, Charles 
M. Winslow, Brandon, Vt.; treasurer, 
Nicholas S. Wlnsor, Greenville, R. I.; 
members of executive committee for three 
years. J. F. Converse, Woodville, N. Y., and 
J. Andrew Casterline, Dover, N. J. 
Wants, tor Sale or Eichange 
Waterproof Cloth. —For those who wish 
to use waterproof cloth, let them try lin¬ 
seed oil diluted with either turpentine, 
benzine or alcohol, and apply with a com¬ 
mon hand-spray. The less oil in the cloth 
the more flexible. d. t. m. s. 
Indiana. 
Mulch or Cultivate.—As I have read 
and understand the writers on the care of 
an orchard I believe that some one or all 
should define the words mulch and culti¬ 
vate. It looks to me as if to mulch or cul¬ 
tivate the result is about the same, as 
when you do one you do both. 
Decatur, Ind. d. t. m. s. 
Meat Cutter. —I have found that a Uni¬ 
versal meat chopper No. 2 makes a good 
green bone cutter for poultry. I would 
not believe It until I saw it, but my wife 
cut up all the bones of a large fowl, includ¬ 
ing the leg bones. Of course It ought also 
to cut up many soft bones of pigs and 
lambs. People with a few hens who can¬ 
not see their way to purchase an expensive 
cutter can now make available much waste 
bone. p. H.
