DAIRYMEN’S INSURANCE SCHEME.
A proposal that dairymen should found an insurance scheme to recoup themselves for the loss of 'cows 'condemned because of tuberculosis was made by Mr. J. Parlane at Friday night’s meeting of the 'Christchurch Dairymen’s Association (states the “Lyttelton /Times.”) Mr. Parlane said it was , in the interests of dairymen to see that their herds 'were clean and free froim tuberculosis. The Agricultural Department had done a ' great deal in this direction, and , there were quite a number of herds round Christchurch that had a 1 ‘'clean” certificate. It was a costly business to replace cows that had been condemned, and for that reason he .suggested an insurance scheme similar to the one the butchers had for -stock 'condemned at the abattoirs. The Government paid half Value of a dairy cow that had .been condemned, and under an in- , surance scheme the dairyman would probably get another third of the ■\alue. Mr. Parlane said lie hoped me|mbers' would think over the matter, and probably a scheme would be fonnulated later.
