The discussions we're resumed On
wARKETs AND NAREEr DAYS
T. ID Curtis Of Udcs, said it vas very imp9r-
tant 20 establish weekly market day. Inc
only thing uecettary fer this was Tor dAif yInen
20 come together and agree to sell At certain
day snd place, and 10 where elEe- Little 1 ais

o. 81
win eel AZ no other time, and it wAs the origin
Of their market day. The buyers 60 around
among the producers, inspect their cheete, etc,
but cannot buy pound until market day. At
Utica NC hsye mad one advantage in the cash
svs.er. Little Falls has been IN the habit Of
allowing weeks credit, snt they suffered
heavily nv .wo large failures during the past
season Tnere is no trouble in finding buyers II
Won hsve the goods together. There are Two
binding obligauons-one that where an otter Is
made for cheese, the producers lhsl not eel IN
Ie-s the offer = raised Is Of a cent per pound,
snd thu ether thst all difficulties must be settled
by the board. These are regularly organized
With officers. etc. They do not generally sell oy
amnl5s, as the buyers have previously inspected
;he cheere AMI know what ii is. II Utica there
Is che advantage, every dsiryman knows the
ta.rket early in the day full as vel as the buyer
Two or three telegr8ms are received from rev
York from reliable reporter, and slso nom
Li,t.e Pals, sni are posted up. It hZss the price
Of butter ana eheesa. and prevents that difference
in Price which formerly existed In Little
Falls. butter ani private dairy cheese IS brought
in in wagons the sane day ana sold. Factory
cdeeae generally brings from one to two cents a
pound more than private dairy. The expenses
arc paid by an annual sEsessnent on the mem
bsrs il vas formerly one dollar, but the ne
csszity .lr o-1css, teilcrauF etc, has increased
u 50 that it is now five dollsrs per year. Per
sons who DO not belong can obtain information,
etc., for fifty cents per market DAY. All kinds
Of pr0iuce and farm stock can he registered snt
sold The great otje.t and advantage is fe-
uroiucers 90 come together, TX prices, get
posted, etc.
o. S. Bliss SAID thSt the s.. Adams market
was myth. It is simply coming together Of
the producers, buyers and the people. II had It's
origin in the Vermont Central railroad putting
on = refrigerator car once week 70 take butter
through to Boston, sui from this the producers
snd buyers GOT into the habit Of congrega;Ing
thst DAY Tor the purpose Of buying and selling.
There are no blildncs or arrangements, or Sys-
tens osrer9rfs The report Of the s'ste Of the
market is o5tsinei By reporter from the Mes
seu1cr Office lie goa out il the course Of the
day, meets one or two respectable dealers, ASKS
them the price. &c. In this way the reported
sales are obtained. and the prices Of the best
lots are rarely obtained or reported. Mr.. Ash
ley o. Burlington, has established a kind Of a
market tor himself lie buys On Saturday, and
only On thst day, and producers are getting into
the habit Of going in On that day. SOME OF our
(S,. Ai6sHs) producers, not 3 large number,
however send their butter direc-ly to market.
There il no difficulty in establishing such S
market anywhere.
iir. Curtis thought there might be a dilculty
IN -.tl.shin- the custom, and persuadins the
producers ami buyers 20 come together or s given
day.
L. .. Mason (the Pres.le-l said the Rich
1onl market was similar 70 the one st St Al
bans, snd he thought there vas no difficulty in
establishing such custom or market. CcnEi-
derabie cheese WAS sent BY dealers to market 70
be sold for producers on commission.
Mr Brown Of Milton, said that Monday was
their regular market dav. and considerable
butter snd cheese were sold. The producers
have The best Of The buyers right along. They
receive about The game price that it brings in
Boston, sni the buyers have TO loose commission /
tai freight
M Douglass OF biting, asks If each produ-
Ger can't msrket HE own butter, and by selling
l'rectly to the eoaeuner, save the expenEe u
the midiiemen.
O s. Bliss thought the difficulty CT selling
irectiy to the consumer was that the producer
I'D not aiEays make Al equally good article He
hal purchased butter for friendr, handed the
order 10 persons whose reputation for making
excellent butter was good and LEI them FIJI il. I
but after the second or third trsl il would prove
al. Here is where the difficulty lies, the pro- /
lucer cannot always make good butter and the7 I.
have not Tie tact to discover it
Mr. Douglass Of Whiting, thought Good Art I
Icle Of butter could b soid for the best prices
CONSUMERS come to know the producer and the /
process Of manufacturing, and knowing that I
hey get a good article are willing to pay for 4
Il. The trouble With middle-men is thSt good /
butter goes into the market with the bad. /
IND the prices rule accordingly. The best butter
soes directly to the consumer and they will pay /
or It, but fit is sent 10 the market il will moi
BRING 80 muck because consumers have no con- /
iieuce in it.
I. D. Curtis SAID that Sir Douglass principle /
Fss correct, and also Mr.. Bliss facts What we /
asni = butter makers who are both honest and 1
'ble to make good butter.
Mr. Brown Of Milton, did not think middle
aen could be done away with. ! person might |
IS vel. get his cotton directly from the mann
scturer, etc. It can't be done. He was wiIling
nilG -emsn should have al they could make ont
f Vermont farmers.
7. S. Gold. Of Connecticut, said that the bnt-
er IN some paFts Of Connecticut had been great
improved in the last 20 years, by sending il
o Nea York where it is either sold directly 10
ne consumer or on commission. Thev bsd
ount the better the butter the batter the
rice.
Hon. Charles L. Flint, Of Massachusetts. said
be fault Of poor butter had been charged On the
roducer Consumers are IS much 70 blame. the
'rgest share Of them being Indifferent rs to the
u&ilty OF butter. Many pay large prices and
on get as good butter as your best Vermont
utter. One Of our largest breeders Of Jersey cows
uys Vermont butter for his own use. Jersey
utter had no flavor and be could sell It for
arger price than he bad to pay for Vermont but
er which was far better Jersey butter has high
DIOR but no richness or flavor. Smaller breed,
i've better and richer milk than larger breed,
he great difficulty in Boston now IS with mill,
ather than with butter. The way the milk bDsi-
ess IL managed there was q disgrace 10 eiviifr,-
ION. Honest men cannot sell milk there.
/. y. Curtis said thst in s test mais with but
er made from the milk Of Ayrshire, Devon and
eisey TO atsnd high temperature, inst of the
ertey was the best
Ar. Wood Of Poufret kept high grade Of
elseys, and sold ell his butter to one msn. he
"a no trouble in packing It down. lie kept

nAlu one loVv pounds Of butter which be sold
: 30 cents
Mr.. Flint said he was no, prsiqiiesd against
eTseys; be owned some and thought them val
able The Ayrshires sre not so much butter
$ a milk breed they give more good and nu-
rltiye milk, but will not make 50 much butter
5 the Jerseys. Thought they compared well
nth the milking breeds Of the short horns. The
.derney is the same "a the Jersey. Most Of
hem came from Jer,ey, but they got the name
Attorney from the fact that vessels from Jer-
ey, bringing them, stopped st Alderrey and
Iere registered from there.
Mr.. NinsloW. Of Putney, was satisfied with
hort Horns as mixers they compare favor
bly, with other breeds. Have COWS that make
or 10 pounds Of butter per week in March
nd June in March fed on good hsy and four
uArts OF meal per day, and in June only on
ouads.
