I made one trip to Kansas City, Mo., in November, 1893, to 
attend an Inter-State Sanitary meeting 1 . Last June, by your 
request, I attended the meeting of the National Live Stock 
Sanitary Convention at Washington, D. C., and last September, 
as your delegate, I attended the meeting of the United States 
Veterinary Medical Association, at Philadelphia, Pa., where the 
question of the control of tuberculosis among cattle was fully

bers, by request, 46 times. I am pleased to state that my work 
has been agreeable, that I met no opposition anywhere in carry¬

value is being appreciated more and more each year by the 
people of the State.”
