The principal address on Tick
Eradication was made by Dr. Tait
Butler, of North Carolina, who was

Territory. This discussion was one
of the most interesting of the meet

of the tick sere discussed at length.
Important Resolutions.
Many other important subjects
were discussed, and among the reso
lutions made and adopted are the
following:
Meat Inspection. Resolved, That
it - is the sense of this Association
that the different States should or
ganize and put in effective operation
a system of meat inspection for the
protection of local consumers of the
same character and efficiency of the
present Federal inspection, intended
for the protection of the consumers
of meat products, which go into Inter-State
traffic.'
Milk Inspection. Resolved, That
this Association urge upon all State
authorities and the public generally
the absolute necessity of State super
vision of the milk supply, and fur
ther, that we recommend that all
States pass laws requiring the testing
of all dairy cows with tuberculin.
Tick Eradication.- Resolved, by
the Live Stock Sanitary Boards of
the United States, in Convention as
sembled, That "the appropriation
made for carrying on the work by
the United States Congress for the
next fiscal year should be increased
to an amount commensurate with the
magnitude and importance of the
work lo be done, which, in our opin
ion, should not be less than $500,000,
and we respectfully urge the United
States Secretary of Agriculture, ;and
the Congressmen of our respective
States to use their best efforts to
obtain such congressional appropri
ation. Hog Cholera. Resolved, That we
call the attention of the sanitary au
thorities of each State, and of the
. National Government, to the fact
that these diseases are assuming such
. importance that their eradication can
only be accomplished by the Com
bined and concerted action of all
sanitary authorities, and we . urge
that such steps be taken as will in
sure perfect co-operation of such au
thorities, to the end that these dis
eases may eventually be wiped out.
