There wa3 fa'r attendance and a lively Uterest manifested, which ahowed iteell In mach brisk Informal discussion among members before the convention was called to order. .Some time after the appointed hour tbe convention was calid to order by Vice PresideLt.Lowder, President Stevenson bein ' ataett, who 'was -clad to see ao many present tut toped to tte more In 'the a Iter noon. Mr. Thrasher suggested that the reading of tbe minutes, as well as of all important papers, he postponed until a larger representation was present, a several trains would bring delegates -early In the afternoon.

On motion of Mr. Thrasher it was reeolved that hereafter tbe meetings of this association shall laet - for two days and longer, if necessary. It Taa stated that the purpose was to prevent the appointment of other agricultural gatherings that would interfere. with the session, as Meredith's stock sale doee this year. Tbe secretary reported on the matter of securing reduced railroad fare, from which it appeared that no practical concessions could be secured. Tbe secretary made explanation as to tbe postponement of the meeting from last wek to this, in order to bring it In the same wtek with Mr. Meredith's sale, and asked the approval of the Convention. Mr. Thrasher was selected to prepare a motion approving the action of the secretary, to be spreaa upon tbe record at the proper time. The president announced täat their two line short-born bulls from Kentucky would be on exhibition in the state house vard at about one o'clock Mr. Thrasher offered a resolution that it be the duty ol the secretary ot this convention to procure reduced railroad fare to and from tbe convention. Adopted. On rjaotlen tbe convention adjourned till 2 o'clock. AFTERNOON SESSION. The convention came together Drommlv at 2 o'clock, and tbe business of reading essays was at once proceeded witb. W. W. Thrasher's essay on "The Influence of High Prices Paid for Short-Horn Steck upon Farmen" w ürat read, lie t jok the ground that fancy prices lor stock have been a positive injury t3tne sboit-horn interest in confining their possession anc use to a few rich men. Mr. Matthews did not agree with tbe essay altogether. He thought tbe bigh prices paid were ot use In stimulating caretul breeding. Mr. Farrow of Putnam county, agreed witb Mr. Thrasher. Mr. Meredith had never known a farmer to invest in cheap stock wbo did sot soon desire better. He said a thing was worth what It would bring In the market, and If a cow would sell for ?40,0o0 she was worth that. The great value of short-horn cattle lies la their milk producing qualities. However, the enormous priefs of shorthorn stock arise from tbe scarcity of pure animals. Mr. McDaniel thought tbe best stock was that which would make the best beet on the same amount of feed. He thought tbe stock of the country could be greatly improved without exorbitant cost by a:sociatlng pure bulls with common -cows at a low price not more than 3 He thought owners of thoroughbred bolls demanded too high prices tor service. He asserted that there was net the difference in the stock that owners made in the price of animals or of service. Mr. Hayward thought ten dollars was little enough for thorough trad service. If he should let h's bull stand for three dollars, he would soon have no boll and no money. Mr. Low der thought tbe point In the . eesay, that farmers were prevented -roQ getting fine short-horns by the high price, was not well made. Tbe number of animals in the county Is limited, and the demand for fine short-born bulls exceeds t'ae supply. He thought, however, tht prices were olten unnecessarily raised by combinations and -corners. Mr. Meredith had no prejudice against tbe plain bred short-homo, and ould advise any beginner to buy them. They were 'tbe pioneers of sboit-horn civiliza.ion." Mr. Thrasher explained his position, and eaid the lnjary he referred to was to tbe common farmers with small capital wbo were trying to introduce fine -stock. Tt9:e are tew men In tbe country "Who could handle this stock, and be wished toey were rewtr. some oi mem naa aiea lately, and he wished they were all dead. Whenever any man pays more than $500 or $1,000 tor an animal, , be is humbugged, and must humbug somebody lse to get even. Mr. Nelson agreed with the essay. Mr. Craven, who was on tbe programme tor the next " essay, was not present. Mr. Woodruff was also acssnt. I. McDaniel, of Rushville, read the next essay, on . , THEMAXAQEMKXT OFlCOWf AT ''AND JJKAB CiAVLNO. i Els essay was the result of his own experience. He bsd tred from grade cows for many years, and thought be had lost a for tune oy not caving short horns. He briefly reviewed tbe proper treatment ot breeding cowa from tbe beginning ol pregnancy to tbe moment of calving. ' First tbe processes ot safe and natural delivery were considered; then' several cases of Improper delivery were reviewed, and the bast methods of treatment in such esses recited. Mr. Galliber gave some experience of his own in the process ol calving." Mr. Claude Matthews then read an eaeay upon - FTJBUO 8 AtJS-HDAS H" VS. CÄXDIT. He thought in all public sales a cash system should be insisted - upon. Legitimate ' " buyers who purchase for their "own herds are trustworthy paitiee; but at every sale tbere are . speculative and irresponsible purchasers who often fall to make good tneirparer, -thus often throwing the stock back opou the dealer's hands and subjecting him to Ube suspicion of having tbe animals bid in. w -Wifefl difcCtUtttol sUUs gen

erally approved. Mr. Thrasher thought stock men, unlike horse dealers, were' generally responsible parties, and could be trusted to pay their notes when due. The report of tbe treasurer, who was detained at home by illness, was now heard by tbe secret try, and showed a balance in tbe treasury ol 58 50 not including the membership fees paid at this meeting. Tbe following names were added to the roll: Thomas W. W. Soman,' Ripley county; J. M. Brav, DeuDey, Hamilton county; H. C. Meredith. Cambridge City. On motion of Mr. Meredith, the convention proceeded to the election of officers. Charles Lowder, of Plainfield, was elected president; Thomas NelnoB, ot Parke county, as vice, president; Claude Matthews, of Clinton, as secretary; W. W. TUrasher of Rush county as treasurer, with tbe following executive committee: H. C. Meredith, ot Cambridge; J, H. Farrow, of Putnam, and W. W. Woodyard of Soelby county. Mr. Ciaude Matthews presented a brief paper on tbe early history ot short-born stock in Vermillion county, dating back to 1823, when the firs: pure blooded Durbam stock was first Introduced b5 S ephen Collet. Tbe descendants of bis cattle are now amoDg tbe best in that : county. . Saveral later importations were noted and tbe present state of tbe short-born interest reviewed. Mr. Matthews suggested that a collection of similar papers from other counties would be a valuable contribution to the short-horn literature of tbe state. On motion of Mr. Nelson tbe essay was accepted as ! tbe property of the convection and spread upon its record. On motion adjourned until this evening at 8 o'clock. THE SHORT HORN SALE.

vented a large attendance," only some two or three hundred spectators and buyers

being present. However, if the lmpre - sions derived from stock men are to be trusted, those who stayed away Io6t little. Perhaps It is hardly fair to rps&k ' of it as a- crub sale," as many did, but certainly tbe stock ot lered was not ot a conspicuously high degree of excellence. Tbe fact seema to be that the cattle brought here for sale wers the poorest animals called Irom herds which were perhaps hoe in the aggregate. As might be expec.ed from tbe unfavorable weather, small attendance and disappoint;! g quality of the stock offered, bidding was slow - and dull : and (rices realized low. An average . ot ess ' tban one' hundred .. dollars re alized from a herd of blooded sboithorn cattle is calculated to ' provoke a smile and excite wonder In those not iamiliar with the ; character ot the stock, rhe sale commenced at 1 p.
