NEW JERSEY VETERINARY SOCIETY. 
A meeting of the veterinarians of New Jersey, representing 
pretty much all parts of the State, met in Newark on Tuesday, 
February 5th, and organized a State Veterinary Medical Society. 
This is the only organization of the kind in that State. There 
is a wide field for it to operate in, and a great deal that is useful 
should come of it. Comparative medicine is making rapid ad¬ 
vances in this country, and at no distant d^y is destined to take 
rank with the sister profession. When we look upon the immense 
live stock interests of America, and contemplate the losses that 
are liable to occur for the want of competent veterinary experi¬ 
ence, the value of such an organization is made manifest.— Turf,
