At 7.30 p. M. the meeting was called to order by the Presi¬ 
dent, when the following programme was presented : 
“ Immunizing Northern-bred Cattle Against the Southern 
Cattle Fever,” by Dr. J. W. Connaway, of the Missouri State 
Experiment Station. The doctor gave a very interesting and 
instructive address, using charts, pictures and instruments to 
illustrate the present methods used at the Missouri State Ex¬ 
periment Station of immunizing our Northern cattle against the 
Southern cattle fever. 
“Tuberculosis of Cattle and Swine,” by Dr. W. R. Cooper ; 
“ Actinomycosis,” by Dr. H. H. George. These papers brought 
out a good discussion, which was enjoyed by all present. 
Dr. A. Plummer (4th U. S. Cavalry), recently of the Philip¬ 
pine Islands, gave some interesting accounts of the filarta occult 
in the horse in the islands; he said that it had been noted that 
the affection occurred in the low marshy part of the country, 
but was not noticed on the highlands. The operation of para¬ 
centesis always resulted in recovery. Operation was performed 
on inferior part of the cornea, allowing the worm to escape 
with the aqueous humor. The after-treatment consisted of cold 
applications and to keep the eye darkened. 
It was moved by Dr. Connaway, seconded and carried, that 
we invite the American Veterinary Medical Association to meet 
in Kansas City in 1902. 
Moved by Dr. Stewart, seconded and carried, that the exact 
date and place of next meeting be left with the Executive Com¬ 
mittee. The meeting then adjourned till Oct. 23. 
At 8 o’clock, Oct. 23, 1901, a surgical and dental clinic was 
held, which was joined in by the twenty-ninth regular meeting 
of the Missouri Valley Veterinary Association. Dr. E. M. 
Niglibert demonstrated the excellencies of the new operating 
table advertised. Dr. J. S. Anderson, of Seward, Neb., demon¬ 
strated the operation of hyovertebrotomy for the cure of crib¬ 
bing ; also the operation of aretenoideraphy for the cure of 
roaring. Drs. W. E. Martin and F. W. O’Brien demonstrated 
the passage of the stomach tube for gastric tympany, also irri¬ 
gating and flushing the stomach. The procedure met with 
marked success, and was highly commended by those present.
