Notes From the Meetings Held at Se· dalia, Mo., December 5 to 8. The Sheep Breeders' Association held BUY a.odl Its BY It second annual meeting on the last MAIL Bought day of the week's session, and on the �� afternoon and evening of that day sheep, nag, horse, and cattle men united in uiacuastng the subject of common Inter­ est-good roads. The eighth annual exhibit of the Mis· SOUI'I State Poultry Association, held SHERJPP'S at Sedalia last was SALE�t week, the largest and most successful of these shows yet held. The entries in poultry numbered 1,080, representing over 20 breeds, and in point of quality the birds showed even a greater gain over previous years. The judges were Thea. Hewes, of Trenton, Mo.; H. A. Bridge, of Columbus, Ohio, and J. W. Wale, of Archie, Mo. "Cattle once inoculated," eald Protes­ sol' Connaway, "always carry the germs of the fever in their blood, and I would not advise inoculating cattle unless they are to go Soutli where immunity is necessary. No animal-North or South -is a born immune, and all animals are liable (to a very small extent, indeed) to a recurrence of the disease after either natural or artificial Inoculation." A loss of 2 per cent from the "lnoeu­ lation fever" was reported by Prof. J. W. Connaway in his paper on "Inocula­ tion for Texas Fever." The loss from animals exposed to the disease after re­ covering from inoculation he gave as 8 per cent, making a total loss of 10 per cent, as against 65 per cent reported by some southern ranchmen who had taken northern cattle South without inoculating them. 'I'he many feeding experiments of the Kansas station were turned to good ac­ count by Prof. F. B. Mumford, of the Missouri University, in his paper on "The Effect of Age and Period of Feed­ mg in the Fattening of Farm Animals." "Beware of the pedigreed scrub," said N. H. Gentry in his address of welcome to the Improved Stock Breeders' As· aoclatlon ; "it is now a greater obstacle to the efforts of this society than the regulation scrub. If there :s anything worse than a pedigreed scrub it is the scrub breeder who handles it." The faculty and experiment station staff of the agricultural college fUI', nished a prominent and intensely Inter­ esting part of the Improved Stock Breeders' Association program. Cow-peas and soy-beans were placed higher than ever before in the estlma­ tion of MissourI breeders and stockmen by Col. G. W. Waters' paper on "Pre­ serving Soil Fertility," and in the dis­ cussion that followed, testimony was added in abundance as to the wonderful elflcaey of these nttrogen-gatherers. l!1merson T. Abbot, formerly of the KANSAS FAR1I1ER, but now editor of the Modern Farmer and Busy Bee, made a strong talk for pure food legislation, taking' occasion to name a Kansas City DECEMBER 14. 844 [12] THE KANSAS FARMER.
