VERMoNT.--Col, Harris. editor Of the Ohio
Farmer. writes to his paper from mis- state as
follows:
Vermont is weA situated, both in regard to
production and market, for thrifty agricul-
tursl STATE. Her sheep, horses, cattle, hay,
dairy, and all the surplus produce, find a di-
rect and ready market either at home or in
the near market OF Boston or New York. with
which she has direct easy communication by
rail, and such Of her sheep as are not dispos-
ed Of in these ways, fad ready sale in the
Western States. II has been laid down as
an axiom in political economy, that a purely
agricultural State must Of necessity be poor,
but Vermont il relutation Of this axiom, be-
ing as nearly purely agricultural State as it
is possible for a State to be, which sells only
the production Of rs own SOIL without sea-
port or market city within several hundred
miles of its own borders.
The Colonel has come nearer the truth than
Western men usually do. Vermont is not
only the nearest, Of good agricultural States,
to market, but for some reasons, The best dali
ry State. Her advantages never can be taken
q from heI.
