err, there is little else to describe along the
road between Burlington and Montpelier, for
the villages have nothing picturesque about
them, save that of Middlesex, which is the
prettier from the road turning two or three
times in going through it, and another of
which we at this moment forget the name,
but which is a dozen miles west of Mont

time of the traveller for pleasure, curiosity,
and charming scenery, to visit Montpelier

Yet il is not dull, nor anything exteriorly to

the seat of the Vermont State; there are

GREEN MOUNTAIN FREEMAN.

farming His own observation satisfied hlmthat
the great mass of farmers who were regular, dill
gent and frugal, became ndependent-above
board. You could not find any such facts in re-
card to 100 farmers, as have been stated in refer
ence to the same number of traders Young
men were rushing into the city to make money,
and this while it was fact that OF all who came,
only 3 per cent were successful.
Mr.. Denny of Westboro', had recently exam
ined the bankrupt list from the office of the Sec
retary of State, and had found among the IIl2
bankrupts in this Commonwealth, during eleven
months, the names of only fourteen farmers; and
on cursory inquiry, he had already ascertained
that three of these fourteen had not failed by farm
ing; and he had no doubt it would be found true,
on further investigation that few or none of these
fourteen bankrupts had been made such by farm
ing Every fourth young man in the stores and
counting rooms of the city could be spared; and
yet young men from the country were rushing in
to the city to get rich.
Mr.. Porter of Danvers had tried farming and
merchandise, and knew the pleasures and pains,
as we'll as profits and losses of both; and he was
satisfied that farming was the best business that
could be done in the county where he lived.
Mr.. Lincoln of Worcester, was sorry to inter-
rupt the harmony of the meeting by throwing a
doubt on the prohtabIeness of farming. He did
not doubt but that some farmers made farming
profitable, but he did doubt whether the majority
ofthem could do more than get a comfortable
living by their labors There was, in his opin-
ion, spirit Of exaggeraton among farmers which
tended to lead young men astray nrespect to the
profits of farming
Mr., Russell of Princeton, said that he rented
to young man farm worth $4,000, for $50 a
year, and that the young man supported his fam
lily, paid his rent, and cleared 500 in single
year. He told Mr. r.. that the butter he made
from five COWS paid his rent, Mr.. r. stated 9TH
er similar facts Illustrative of the profits of farm
ing
Lieut. Gov Reed was delighted to hear the re-
marks of the different gentlemen on the benefits
offWming. He could not help thinking, however,
that they had the best of farmers in that hall
men who were more fortunate than the ordinary
run of farmers. He agreed with Mr. Calhoun,
that farming was a most useful business; but was
rather apprehensve that gentlemen had rated the
profits i'll dollars and cents little too high.

Ninth Agricultural Meeting
At the State House, March I6.

M CRC CtUJe IIOUSc IHdTCD 10.
The discussion On the profits of farming was
continued, with unabated interest, on Tuesday
evening, March I6
Mr. Brooks Of Princeton, gave his method Of
cultivating land, by successive crops-potatoes,
corn wheat, grass; and stated, in figures, the &C
tual results Of his labors From these data it
appeard that his farm has yielded nett annual
income Of at least Is per cent And his firm
conviction was, that farming paid as well as any
investment that could be made. He had spoken
of the profits of common farming. If he were
near the city Or any large village he could clear
much more by his labors.
Mr.. Clark of Walpoc, had reclaimed some
bog land at an expense of $50 and $I00 an acre,
which was now worth from 800 to 200 an acre,
and which before this, was valued at not more
than ten an acre. His plan was to dtcllsthe
land the year before he sowed it, antS to
cart on sand and gravel until the land would
bear a cart with light load On his light up
lands he used dry ashes, which he considered the
very best kind of manure. BY this application
he had succeeded in killing out the most troub-
esome of all weeds, the witch-grass, by bringing
in red clover. He puts on the ashes in the spring,
as soon as the snow is off the ground
He had succeeded, in three years time, in
getting an entirely new top to an old orchard
the trees of which were from 20 to 36 years old
so that they bore abundantly Some of his neigh
bors made more than 100 per cent by raising
peaches. One of them sold more than 5000
worth Of peaches from a single acre of land.
Mr. Calhoun of Springfield, said, that what he
had heard of the profits of farming, that evening,
and on previous evenings but confirmed his own
opinions, derived from observation and inquiries
The proper way to Judge of the proftableness Of
farming, was to see how farmers stood when com.
pared with men engaged in other kinds. of bust
ness 1t had been stated and reiterated, that out
Of 100 persons engaged in trade, in the city o.
Boston, 3 only became independent, and 81 came
to nothing. OF the occupants of one of the prn
cipal wharves in this city, during period of &C
years, it has been ascertained that five became
Independent, while all the others failed or dice

DYSPEPSIA OF 10 YEARS STANDING.

Or ~ EhRO y hlNDlNu
The wife of Captain Roberts, on Vine Street,
near Water, Cincinnati, has been afflicted with
DYSPEPSIA in its most aggravated form for the
last ten years, was recommended by celebrated
physicians of Boston, New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, and Cincinnati, to travel as they could
do nothing for her. She did so, but it did her no
good. She then commenced using the most pop
uar medicines Of the day for her complaints, but
derived no benefit. Seeing an advertisement o:
DR.. SMITHS VEGETABLE SUGAR COATED
PILLS in the paper, she concluded to give them
q trial--sent to G. F. Thomas, Main Street, be-
tween Third and Fourth, DR.. Smiths Agent for
Cincinnati, and purchased q box, took them ac-
cording to direction, and can with heartfelt Joy
state that she derived more benefit from the use
of one box Of DR.. Smiths Sugar Coated Vegeta-
BILE Pills, than from any other medicine she has
made use of during the ten years. The above
was sent to G. F. Thomas on The third day of
December, 1874. .---..-
