SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
KANSAS STATE VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION. 
The semi-annual meeting of the Kansas Veterinary Med¬ 
ical Association was held in Manhattan on March ioth and 
iith, 1892. . 
The meeting was called to order by Vice-President 
Hunter. The following members were present: 
Drs. Hunter, Cook, Brady, Orr and Mayo. 
The following members were elected : Drs. Nott, Welch, 
McCassy, Eisenhoner and Wattles. 
Upon invitation the Association visited the State Agricul¬ 
tural College, and were much pleased with the work being 
done there. 
In the evening Dr. Hunter read a paper entitled V hat 
Is It? ” describing a peculiar case of malignant tumor in the 
pharynx of a troop horse. The paper was very interesting, 
and gave rise to considerable discussion. 
Dr. Mayo followed with a report of an outbreak of “ mad 
itch,” or “ hydrophobia,” so called, in cattle. The discussion 
which followed drifted to the interesting subject of “ stalk 
disease ” in cattle. 
The other essayists being absent, a question box was in¬ 
troduced, which proved very interesting, every one present 
taking part in the discussion of questions presented. 
According to previous notice section 4 ol the Code of 
Ethics was stricken out. 
A committee, consisting of Drs. Welch, Orr and Mayo, 
was appointed to draw up a fee bill for the use of the Associ¬ 
ation and present it at the next meeting. 
The following resolution was adopted : 
Resolved , That the Kansas Veterinary Medical Associa¬ 
tion condemns the method of meat inspection as practiced by 
the Bureau of Animal Industry at Kansas City, where only 
one graduate of a veterinary college is employed. Fitness for 
the position, and not political influence, should be the qualifi¬ 
cation for appointment. We consider the method now in 
vogue at Kansas City as detrimental to the veterinary profes¬ 
sion and inimical to the proper inspection of meat. 
A vote of thanks was extended to the resident veterinar-
