THE FUTURE OF SHEEP HUsBANDRY
IN VERMONT.

The recent advance in the price of wool
has had the effect to liven up interest in
sheep, and to arrest the defamation of focks
which has been going on. Some are express
ing the opinion that we are now witnessing
The beginning of - revival of the Flush
times of ten years ago, while others look
upon the movement rs u temporary one, of
little significance and offering no substantial
inducement for farmers to take hold of sheep
breeding again with the hope of making
money out of it.
1t is perhaps, a good time to take n re-
view of the field, with the hope of finding
some reliable indications by which future
action can be guided The flush times " of
Vermont sheep breeding came somewhat
abruptly to an end with the heavy decline in
the price of wool and woolens following the
close of the rebellion. In the hope of arrest
ing this decline mutual efforts has been made
by growers and manufacturers, through
which high duties were laid both upon for
eign woods that competed with the home
grown kinds and upon wooden fabrics of all
sorts. But these duties had, apparently, lit
tie or no effect in preventing the remarkable
fall in prices which reduced both interests to
the verge of bankruptcy. The only consola-
ton that remained to those who had advocat-
ed them was that it would have been still
worse without them, which was certainly I'M
unanswerable assertion.
But with the gradual absorption of the
great excess of manufactured goods existing
;,,t I., tl,..
cases, the permanent stoppage of manufilc-
turing works, the destruction of the wool
growing interest in South America, together
with other causes that might be named,
there has come at last, n better market for
manufactured goods, and consequent adj
vance in the price of wool. If Il prohibitory
duty is continued upon Australian and other
foreign woods competing with our own, and
an equal duty upon manufactured goods to
keep our manufactures alive, it is plain that
the wooden clothing of our people must find
its origin on the backs of American sheep.
Assuming that such will be the case. how
much of the advantage accruing will fall to
Vermont farmers, and how can they best
avail themselves Oft
The great trouble, it seems to us, in relying
for the success of any industry upon govern
mental protection in the way of bounties or
high duties, consists in the fact chat this is
great country" What good is it going to
do the Vermont farmer, if by high duties
foreign woods are excluded from our seaports
mt his solicitation, closing as it were, the
front door in the face of foreign growers,
when in the west, upon the grassy plains of
our vast continental interior, wool can be,
and is already beginning to be, produced
even cheaper than in Australia or South
American We cannot close our back door
too, for the wool growers of the great west
are our fellow citizens, and yet there can be
little doubt that they can and will shortly
raise wool in abundance, not only to supply

VERMONT BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.

This Board have, during the past year,
held three meetings for the discussion of top
les relating to Agriculture and the general
interests of the state. Most of the papers
read at those meetings have been published
at length in the VERMONT FARMER, and alb
stracts have been printed in other papers.
The discussions that followed the reading
of the essays have also been briefly reported.
1t is expected that during the present winter
several meetings will be held in such accessi-
BILE parts of the state us shall show their de-
sire fol such meetings by furnishing a hall
and extending an invitation to the Secretary
of the Board Professor Peter Collier, of
Burlington.
Now shall we have q meeting in Orleans
County, and where? At present Barton and
Newport are equally accessible by railroad,
and ms soon as the railroad is finished in the
Lamoille Valley to Hardwick, the members
of the Craftsbury Farmers Club will doubt
less desire a meeting in their hall, where we
feel sure it would be well attended and of
much interest. At present the town should
have the meeting that most desires it, 1t
Will bt II W tii ttttIltl
Topics are treated that are so connected
with our daily lives and our material pros
perity that we cannot well fail to gain ideas
that shall encourage us to do our best rs
farmers, gardeners scientific observers and
citizens of Vermont.
The village can have course of eight or
ten lectures without cost, interesting to both
gentleman and ladies. The attendance is
generally from the immediate vicinity of the
place of meeting and but few strangers are
present, chiefly the members of the Board and
other speakers. Their entertainment will
be optional with the citizens, us the state
pays the expenses of the Board, yet it will
be for the interest Of some of the farmers or
village residents to avail themselves of this
opportunity to entertain strangers whose
greatest desire is to become acquainted with
the real condition of the state, and labor for
its prosperity. The Governor of the State
will doubtless attend some of the meetings.

NOTES AND QUERIES.
New Varieties OF Potatoes.


III have experimental somewhat, with
various new varieties. The Early Rose
every one knows what they are; good yield

King of the Earles' are not quite equal to
the Rose in yield, or for the table, but are

The Prolific is late variety. They yield
WELL and are good table potatoes, and very
even.
My 'Excclsiors did not do near us well us
the 'Proiics;' yielded only about half us
much, and more small ones. About the
same for the table.
The Peerless arc the best potatoes, every
thing considered. They are immense yield
ers, and No. for the table. dug one that
weighed two pounds and two ounces; anoth-
er, two pounds; two from one hill that
weighed three pounds and II quarter; from
one hill three potatoes weighing three pounds
and quarter. Forty-eight potatoes made IL
bushel of sixty pounds.
The only fault to be found with them is
they grow too large, and it takes too much
strength to pull them out The large ones
are sound, and but few scraggy ones. Most
of them are perfect in form. j. G. M.

Patrons of Husbandry.
I'll had it in mind to tell your readers
that the members of Green Mountain Grango,
of this place, met at their hall on the l4th
inst. and had n glorious time. Besides the
initiation of several new members, and per-
forming Degree work, we had GRIND .feast.
Our hall was full,-every body was happy,
and all things passed off pleasantly, and very
creditably indeed. The tables groaned I'M
der the burden of good things. o. II. Kelly,
the National Secretary, was present, and gave
instruction and great assistance to our hew
movements. If the farmers of your section
only knew how well we have prospered since
we began, and how enthusiastic all feel and
act, am sure they would mt once form
oranges among themselves. We believe the
principles that lie at the bottom of the Pat
rons of Husbandry," are just, and right, and
will one day become very popular sincere
ly hope that every farmer will give this mat
ter IN honest Investigation.

The Cincinnati Road.

CHATTANOOGA, Jan. 2l.-The Chstta-
nooga Board of Trade, at a special meet
ing tonight, passed unanimous resolu-
ton declaring the Cincinnati and South
ern railroad an imperative necessity to
Tennessee and Kentucky. While recog-
nizing the subject as of national impor-
lance and as ft subject for Congress
sional legislation as any road that spans
the continent, they prefer it should spring
INTO life and grow into perfection under
the control of the people in private capa-
city, whose necessities it serves and
whose interests it promotes. Rejecting the
wishes and spirit of the people of Ten
nessee aud their Southern neighbore, they
earnestly request the people of the State
of Kentucky through their Legislature, to
grant the Cincinnati and Southern Rail
road such privileges and franchises as
will secure its immediate construction,
and in doing so do not ask Kentucky
anything they would not urge to be given
in return, and which Tennessee has al
ready given to the people of Kentucky,
believing they only seek that which will
be mutual benefit and mutual reward.
