SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
351 
Dr. Grange, on taking the chair, thanked the meeting for the honor con- 
erred upon him, and hoped the session would be an enjoyable one to all. The 
meeting was more of a fraternal nature than of a business one,- that we would 
form some new acquaintances, and at the same time we had a few papers to dis¬ 
cuss ; but first let us proceed to elect a Secretary. 
. rt was m °ved and seconded that Dr. W. H. Gribble, of Washington C. H. 
no, Secretary of the Ohio Association, act as Secretary. Unanimously agreed

. Communications were read from several members of both Michigan and 
Ohio Associations, expressing their regrets at inability to be present. 
Mr Russel, in behalf of Parke, Davis & Co., offered the Association a stenog¬ 
rapher for to-morrow morning if they needed one. 
Moved and seconded that the offer be accepted. Carried. 
The Chair now enquired how we should proceed; he had visited several 
Farmers Institutes, and had noticed that the Question Box had always proved 
interesting, and thought it would be a good plan to have one here ; any member 
to drop a question in the hat, to be answered by the others. This subiect was 
deferred until later. 
i -n Hawki ° S: As the Chair was Chairman of a committee that presented a

J. C. Meyers, Jr., of Cincinnati. The Secretary will now read them :

3rd. Have any of the gentlemen present ever examined the spermatic fluid 
from a cryptorchide or monorchide and found spermatozoon ? 
The third question was answered first, as no one present had examined the 
spermatic fluid of such animals. 
J. C. Meyers, Sr.: All I know of such things is what I have read and what
