THE DAIRY CONFERENCE.

On Tuesday next the members of the British Dairjr Farmers' Association and their friends will open a conference in the Eastern counties. They meet first at Ipswich, where there will be a buttermaking -contest, followed by a conference, at which papers on " Dairy Farming in Arable Districts " and " The Distribution of Dairy Produce" will be read and discussed. On the following day the visitors will proceed to Olenham, where the Duchess of Hamilton has a working dairy, and thence to Easton Park, to see the Duke of Hamilton's herd of vedpolled cattle and bis dairy. Later in the day they will proceed to Framlingham College— a school for boys — where a paper on " Milk " will be read and discussed ; while in the evening, after getting to Bury St. Edmunds, the subject of " Parturient Apoplexy " will be brought forward by Professor Wortley Axe, of the Royal Veterinary College. A well-earned public dinner will wind up a day of hard work. On the third day, after an excursion to Ickworth Park, the members of the conference will visit Mr Colman, M.P., at Carrow Abbey, near Norwich, and inspect bis herd. In the evening a conference on " Profitable Summer Dairying " will take place at Norwich, to be followed t>y a public dinner. A visit to the Priuce of Wales at Sandringham, and to his herd of shorthorns, and a conference on " The Breeding and Selection of Dairy Cattle" at the 6ame place, will wind up the proceedings. I hope to be able to send the whole of the papers by this mail, but may be disappointed, in which cue they will be sent by the next mail.
