SOCIETY MEETINGS.

Dr. Harbaugh read a paper on “ Texas Fever,”* which was 
listened to with great interest. The specific micro-organism was 
nicely shown, as were also the ticks found upon the cattle affected. 
The discussion of this disease was of peculiar interest to the 
members, because of the location of the government quarantine 
line across the State. The results of experiments and observa¬ 
tions to be made by Drs. Harbaugh and Niles during the next 
season will be awaited with interest. 
At nine o’clock the Association adjourned to meet around the 
banquet table at Evenson’s as the guests of Dr. Harbaugh. The 
hospitality of our President was greatly enjoyed. 
At 10.30 P.M. the Association was called to order again to 
listen to a paper by Prof. E. P. Niles, of Blacksburg, Va., upon 
“Immunity.”* This was followed by a general discussion of the 
subject of serum therapy. 
After extending the thanks of the Association to Dr. Geo. 
Ben. Johnston for his very profitable and pleasant entertainment, 
and instructing the Secretary to compile the proceedings and 
papers of the various Association meetings for publication, the 
Association adjourned at two o’clock A.M., January 3, to meet in 
Norfolk in June. 
The Association has grown from a weakling of two years ago 
to a healthy organization, and all the members realize that the 
mutual benefit derived from our meetings is without measure. 
While in Virginia at the present time there is no legal veter¬ 
inary profession, we hope and know that the influences emanat¬ 
ing from our Association will ultimately secure for us the recog¬ 
nition that is our due.
