Unfortunately, thr attendance was cot as gord as e\|n eted. Mr Oldbam gave a *even dny test for one of the local suppliers, which resulted as follows:—First day, 3.3; second day, 34; third day, 3.5; fourth day, 32; fitth day, 3.1; sixth day, J. 3; seventh day, 3.4.

Mary suppliers are continually growling about the variations in their differ, nt tesis, and very often it seems justified; but the above will prove that the cows are to blame, rot the Asscciaiion. Mr Oldham gave much useful information as regards testing in all its phases, ai d at the conclusion received a hearty vote of thanks, regret teing expressed that there was ret a larger attendance.
