effective legislation. Dr. Baldwin, of New Brunswick, fol¬ 
lowed with other pertinent remarks and figures ; he also gave 
an interesting account of a number of experiments that he

fore the Association by Dr. Hawk in a pair of lungs from a 
registered Jersey cow owned near Orange, N. J., which he

a family cow. The lungs were a solid mass of tubercles 
throughout. 
Dr. Stickler requested the Association to appoint a com. 
mittee to confer with a committee from the State Medical 
Association and other associations for the purpose of formu¬

its object the eradication of the disease from the dairy herds 
known to be infected in various parts of the State, and to 
prevent the sale of milk from such herds. 
The Association also adopted resolutions of condolence

tary of Agriculture, who was an honorary member of the 
Association. 
Resolutions were also passed approving the action of the

and of the resolutions adopted there relating to the spoils sys¬

Bureau of Animal Industry. A resolution was also passed 
disapproving the action of the officers of the National Veter¬ 
inary College at Washington in making their course one of 
two years instead of a more lengthy one, believing it prejudi¬ 
cial to the best interests of veterinary science to graduate stu¬ 
dents after such a short course of study.

ists for the second Thursday in April, 1894. Some interesting
