ABSORBINE is purely herhal, and safe to use anywhere. In addition to being an 
effective liniment, it is a powerful antiseptic and germicide. Therefore, ABSORBINE, 
applied to a sore or wound, kills the germs, makes the wound asepticaily clean and pro¬

Sheep and Cow Men Plan 
Year’s Business 
E. C. Weatherby 
G ROWING the one blade of grass 
for less money and selling that 
blade to net more money to the producer,” 
seems to sum up the discussions and the 
resolutions passed by the four farm 
organizations that met in Syracuse the 
week of January 7th to 11th inclusive for 
their annual meetings. The fact that 
more economical production as well as 
cooperative marketing was discussed in¬ 
dicates that the basic principle for success 
is being considered. I believe that too 
little thought has been given to more 
economical production. We cannot ex¬ 
pect that the mere organization of coop¬ 
erative associations is going to make our 
farms or our herds pay. 
The week started with the annual 
meeting of the New York State Dairy¬ 
men’s Association, then came the New 
York State Breeders Association meeting, 
followed by meetings of the New York 
State Holstein-Friesian Association and 
the New York State Federation of 
of County Sheep Growers Cooperative 
Association, Inc. The meetings, except 
that of the sheep breeders, were held in 
the new Coliseum recently completed at 
the New York State Fair Grounds. This 
building lends itself admirably to the 
holding of such meetings save for the 
inconvenience of getting to the place. 
Probably this inconvenience cut down the 
attendance. 
“Winter Show” Discussed 
To take full advantage of the facilities 
offered at the State Fair Grounds a Win¬ 
ter Show and general “round up” of farm 
organizations tvas discussed by the dif¬ 
ferent organizations. Committees were 
appointed. The result of this discussion 
will probably mean a meeting of more 
organizations during one week at Syra¬ 
cuse. The nature of the Winter Show 
has not been suggested. It will probably 
include exhibits of livestock and products 
of New York State farms. 
Prof. Stocking Heads Dairymen’s 
Association 
The reelection of Prof. W. A. Stocking 
of the New York State College of Agri¬ 
culture as president, adoption of a resolu¬ 
tion favoring mid-winter joint meetings 
of farm organizations in Syracuse, and 
addresses dealing with the economic situ¬ 
ation affecting the dairy farmer marked 
the closing sessions of the New York 
State Dairymen’s Association annual 
meeting. 
C. F. Bigler of Syracuse was elected 
vice-president. He takes the place of 
Floyd C. Overton of Adams who was 
killed in an accident on his farm early in 
the winter. Thomas E. Tiquin of Albany 
was reelected Secretary and R. R. Kirkland 
treasurer. W. E. Davis of Auburn, man¬ 
ager of the New York Guernsey Breeders 
Association, was elected a director. 
Directors reelected are: C. A. Brown, 
Watertown; H. S. Sweetland, South 
Dayton; H. C. Large, New York; Dorr 
W. McLaury, Milford, and A. S. Chap¬ 
lin, Wolcott. 
Dean Cook Toastmaster 
In the evening much inspiration was 
gained from “the Farmer of the North 
Country,” Dean H. C. Cook of Denmark, 
who presided as toastmaster. Dean 
Cook had on his toast list Charles Wesley 
Flint, Chancellor of Syracuse University; 
E. A. Powell, noted Holstein breeder of 
Syracuse; Charles H. Tuck of the Dairy¬ 
men’s League .Cooperative Association, 
and others of like caliber whose talks, 
mingled with the philosophy of Dean 
Cook, made the evening one of inspira¬ 
tion to be summed up like this—“We 
cannot live solely unto ourselves if we are 
to help in the great problems of the farm 
that are being solved through more effi¬ 
cient production and better marketing.”
