should not presume to attempt giving any in.
structon 10 a body Of men so much better
ycrscd than myself in the subjects that are to
come under discussion But am glad to
congratulate you on the success Of your
efforts last year in starting your Association.
1t required pluck, foresight aud wisdom 1t
seemed to me the most successful agricultural
meeting have attended in this part Of the
country.
We learn that the entire dairy product Of
the country is estimated at three hundred
million dollars; and of this Vermont has con.
trbuted more than her share, for in $50 she
was 9TH III production Of butter, aud 81 in
that Of cheese. Ii is a remarkable estimate
to put the production Of butter in 1870 at
twenty-five million pounds, aud that Of cheese
at fourteen millions, worth at 80 and a cents
spectively--oyer nine aud half millions of
dollars. Why, this is nearly three times the
gross earnings of the three great railroads Of
State the dairymen could buy them all out
and | hope then make them pay dividends.
(Laughtcr.) Considering what great sum
the increase Of only two cents pound on
these dairy products would amount to, the
object aimed at by this Association becomes
very important, aud the organization of it is
evidently justified.
| have been ready to despair at hearing
young men 50 frequently say there is no field
10 this State for the exercise of their talents,
wherefore they will go elsewhere aud rise in
this or that profession, for farming requires
no special ability. There is no greater iallacy

Tho Approaching December Eclipse of tho
q On the 10Th of next December there is to be
total eclipse of the sun. 1t will be visible
close by Arabia, first in the open sea. 1t will
traverse the northern part of the Indian penin-
sula. 1t will thence pass across the northern
extremity Of Ceylon. 1t will not touch land
again until it reaches the south of Sumatra
and the western extremity of Java. Thence
1t will cross the northern parts of Australia,
and, except In some of the smaller islands Of
The Polynesian group, it will not be seen again
on land. We notice that the governments of
Europe, particularly that Of Great Britain, are
preparing to send out expeditions to the avail
able points Of observation, and it is stated
that some of the be st astronomers of Great
Britain and France, encouraged by the results
of the experiments made on the occasion of the
last solar eclipse, are determined at all
hazards to find their way to Java, and from
that point of observation to examine once
more, with all the aid that science can give,
the suns corona. What the corona is is as yet
a puzzle to the philosophers. Theories are
numerous. The spectroscope is again to be
largely used, and every attempt will be made
to secure accurate photographs. A DR..
Higgins has devised telescope, by means of
which one observer will be able to study the
aspect of the corona, while another will study
the spectrum Of the light from the same part.
This instrument is, we understand, to be taken
out to some suitable point of observation.
Australia and India are expected to do their
duty. The British government is likely to
grant q large sum Of money in aid Of the
expedition. In such circumstances the French
government is never niggardly. What does
the government of the United States intend to
dop We want to know more of the character
of the great orb Of day. Let us not be behind
in this matter. We have astronomers and
mathematician who are not behind the best
men in Europe. Let our government give
these men proper encouragement. Let US fit
out an expedition which will prove to the
world that the great republic Of the West is
not indifferent to the scientific questions OF the
day. There is not much time to lose. What
we mean to do we must do quickly.
