1t will probably turn out that there is some
gross exaggeration about thst legacy to the Fort
Edward milliner First it was said the sum was
100000 pounds sterling. now it is dollars
it was the faithful lover who left it, then the
grandfather of the faithful lover; now it is the
indignant father of the unfaithful lover. The
whole nstter was denied come time since by a
paper published in or near Fort Edward, which
Characterised it as piece Of cruel gossip about
respectable girl. Surprising, however, the girl
has come in for a legacy, it is not likely 10 be

The Alabama Legislature proposes to pass a
bill to release all persons married in thst State
during the war from the consequences Of the
rash act. The explanation Of this curious
measure is late decision Of the Supreme Court
of the State declaring void all acts performed by
the officials Of Alabama during the continuance
Of the State in rebellion This wholesale divorce
scheme throws into the shade anything that In
dians has done. The Legislature proposes,
however, to supplement this bill by another 81

FOOD

Another question OF great economic lnlp port o.
tr,iies itself in this context That Is the value
Of different kinds Of food. Is clover hay, for
ample, a. good for cheese making as for butter
mHking' What is the comparative value Of hay,
meal. oil cake. turnips, peas, heeis, &c. &c.
Let a certain number Of cows which give milk,
be fed on hay exclusively for s period long
enough TO determine their average production Of
r,ilk.-veighing the amount Of hsy consumed
Now add to the hay definite quantities Of beeIs
nv weight, or Of meal. OF o! 5urnips, watching
for eoual periods the i Inference IN dairy pro

secsrately tried. has been ascertAined, then let

the milk from hay costs - cent pound. and
that the added quantity, added by feeding the
beets, costs 2 - cents per found. 30 by redue-
ing TO money value the quantity Of meal, Of car

be determined as well as It's product. some
thing Of vitiation will enter the problem By rea-
son Of variations Of the weather. This may be I
estimated or the experiment may be repeated, I
and the vitiating element may he worked out.

is one of the things which this society may most
probably investigate

Mr.. willard opened his address by saying tina;
the great question among farmers always has
been. and always will be-Remunerstion. By
what theory Of dairy farming BY what process
OF manufacture and by what system of market
ing, can the best pecuniary results be obtained
These are questions which can never grow old.
It is unfortunate that farmers are not generally
educated in a system Of keeping farm accounts,
hence they ca not tell accurately years profit
from their farms. The dairymsn should know
accurately the cost Of his products But he
hoped the time would come when this would be
corrected Ehsn the farmers would organize to
guard thsir interests by perfeitng q system Of
marketing and farm accounts.
The operations of the past year, said Mr. vii
lard, have demonstrated three things l. That
the preservation of cheese depends largely upon
r low, even temperature .. That healthy con-
sumptive demand for cheese does not depend up
on extreme low prices; 8. That there is mar
ket for our whole cheese product at price above
cost. Yet ne thought that the dxirymen Of New
York hal given 600 exclusive an attention to the
subject Of cheese. Cheese can never be the great
dairy interest Of the country, hgt must always
be subordinate TO butter. The butter interest Of
the country s altogether independent Of foreign
trade; while the cheese dealers, on the contrary,
depend largely upon English markets. though
