SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
Chief of the Dairy Division, Bureau of Animal Industry, was 
severely criticised for denouncing the use of tuberculin in test¬ 
ing dairy herds. 
The question of passing cows for dairy purposes in which 
but three of the teats were secreting was warmly discussed by 
those present. On most farms the owner claimed to use the 
milk of “ three-teaters ” for family purposes only. Dr. Robin¬ 
son found pus in most of these non-secreting quarters. Where 
quarters were atrophied and clear of nodules and pus, he passed 
the cows for dairy purposes. 
In this discussion the recent decision of the Attorney for the 
District was severely condemned, in which he held that cream 
was not milk and that dairymen who have had their licenses 
revoked for keeping unsanitary dairies could ship cream into 
the District without having such license. 
Meeting adjourned. J. P. Turner, Secretary.
