N. Y. Breeders’ Meeting 
The New York State Breeders’ Associa¬ 
tion is planning for an extra good meeting 
this season, Jan. 8-10. at the Onondaga 
Hotel, Syracuse. There will be a good 
battery of speakers, including Mr. John J. 
Dillon, President Schurnian of Cornell, Dr. 
V. A. Moore, Hon. Cyrus Miller, Hon. C. 
J. Huson, and many others. At this time, 
when the whole world is calling for meat 
and milk products, and when America 
must supply most of the demand, the live¬ 
stock business assumes unusual import¬ 
ance. New York, as the great dairy State 
of the Union, must take an active part 
in this war campaign. There ought to be 
10.000 members of the Breeders’ Associa¬ 
tion, and there will be an extra effort next 
year to enlarge that organization so as to 
make it distinctly representative of prac¬ 
tical men. The initial fee is $1, with $1 
as the annual due. Applications may be 
made to either A. E. Brown, secretary; or 
Wing R. Smith, treasurer, both at Syra¬ 
cuse ; or to the president, H. B. Harpend- 
ing, Dundee, N. Y. Here is a chance for 
breeders and stock men to help. 
Wart 
I have a heifer two years old that has 
a growth on the right side of her neck, 
it seems to be near the windpipe, it 
seems only to be grown onto the .skin as 
one can move it around freely, and it 
seems to bleed freely at intervals and 
does not scab over. Can you tell me 
Avhat this is and what I can do for it? 
W. J. M. 
Smear lard on the sound skin around 
the growth and then apply nitric acid 
three times a week by means of a flat 
stick. If that does not suffie have the 
growth cut out by a surgeon. A. s. A.
