PASSUMPSlC FARMERS CLUB.

The annual meeting was held January /,
1873. Hon. L. A Parks, President; Joseph
Dow, Vice President; Jonathan Lawrence,
Secretary. The above officers constitute an
Executive and Business Committee. Sub
jet discussed: "Does il pay to raise corn in
Vermont Mt present prIccs?'
Rev. j. w Burrel: Am not much ac-
quainted with farming in this section. DO
not think it will pay to raise corn to sell,
Think grass pays better than grain. | think
every farmer should grow his own corn. A
person feels more independent in using
homegrown products than those he purchas-
es. In Franklin County mixed husbandrY is
generally ignored and dairying made spe-
cialty, while in Addison County corn every
fourth year is their crop, and they think it
pays to raise corn for sale.
W, L. Peck Two years ago bought the
manure from livery stable Mt st. Johns
bury; manured and planted seven acres of
corn; harvested 1000 bushels of sound corn.
The fodder was worth more than the hay be-
fore manuring. Think ten bushels of corn
equal to ton of hay for stock.
j. G.. Lawrence believe that corn,
next to grass, is our best crop. Am MS sure
of a crop Of corn rs any crop | grow. 1t
docs not pay to raise poor crop Of any kind,
Double the crop with half the expense,
should be tho aim of every farmer.

to do with the corn crop in the Passumpsic

Subject OF discussion Friday evening, Jan.
Id els Il profitable to use phosphate ON
lands ms manure"
At this meeting there was quite general
feeling expressed against the use OF this fer
tiizcr. The reasons appeared to be that it
was too expensive to be used in sufficient
quantities to produce anything like a salts
factory result upon the different important
crops raised in this country.
Mr.. ID. Goodell said, the first time tried
the use of phosphate il was on small piece
of moving land, all run out, producing only
four or five hundred of hay per acre. did
not apply large quantity Mt first, and the
effect was very Insignificant. The next year
put it on tho same piece ut the rate of 600
pounds per acre, and 1t produced tho hand
soonest growth of red clover | ovor saw.
About n ton per acre. The result was salts
factory, but the expense was too great. The
fertility of the soil was apparent for the next
two years, producing threo-lourths, then one
half ton per acre. think in case man has
only about half rs much manure rs he ought
to apply to q cultivated field, he can proiiln-
bly, make up the deficiency by tho use of
phosphate, | have used this manure ON corn
and potatoes to advantage, especially the
former. When the growing season is not of
usual length ii will give young corn plants
good start which is OMEN of great Importance.
| have receipt for making kind of phos-
phate which is, think, Of great value Take
two loads muck, II bushol of salt and one of
lime, and one of plaster; also three
bushels of leached ashes may be added.
These should be placed in layers, and enough
water poured ON TO slack the lime. The
heat and gases produced by the lime will
correct tho acidity Of tho muck; and upon

valley. Corn Is sure and paying crop
j. u. Woods Never raised corn largely,
but always raised my own. Never bought II
bushcl of corn. Like the plan Of raising
my own and a little TO sell. The true pldn is
to raise grain enough for home use aud the
rest in grass
Milo Lawrence: Can do better than to
raise corn even at present prices of corn and
farm help. Grass pays better than corn.
DO not intend to grow corn in future.
Would rather raise India wheat. The poor
est land ! have with 100 lbs. phosphate to the
aero for two years will give good crops and
leave the land III better condition to stock
down than after one years hoeing, especial
ly If you are troubled with witch grass. Ma
nurc the third year and sow to oats, and you
are all right for grass with less than half the
labor and more profit.
G.. W. Fclch; Mixed farming is my plan.
Every year some crops are good while others
are poor. If we do something ut all kinds
we shall hit right on some Of them. Corn to
sell with me pays better than oats.
j. \. Gould; | raise all the grain can.
| think corn a good paying crop. 1t leaves the
ground IN better condition for u grass crop
than potatoes.
j. Dow: Corn raising by the old way of
hand-hocing will not pay except in very f,-
vOmble localities. Planted six acres the
past year; had good yield. Used the Ross
horse hoe and could cultivate six acres with
less expense than two acres by the old meth
cd. Have II field of some twenty acres which
] think of planting onc-third each year to
corn, one year to grain. and one year to clio
ver alternately.
Il. a. Parks, President OF the Club:
formerly raised from eight to ten acres of
corn. Two acres is all intend to grow in
future. My best return from corn is when
cut for fodder. Planted one aud one-mlf
acres of sweet corn the past year, in rows far
enough apart to run the cultivatur; hills
twice rs thick us the rows; much better than
sowing broadcast. BY the latter method the
crop shades itself and the quality is poor
Growing corn largely, rs formerly. brought
hoeing and haying in collision.

Ethan Allen and Draeo.

So, also, when Ethan Allen took the
$500 premium at the st. Louis Fair, and
Draco two $500 ones at the same exhibition,
it made me feel proud of not only our Nor
gan horses but our good little State, and
never dreamed that should be called upon
IN 1872, to show reason why this race OF
horses should not become extinct in our State.
1t seems like attempting to show that rail-
roads and telegraphs should not be discon-
tinued IN this country, or that fine wool sheep
should not be allowed to show g beautifully
less because the fine mutton sheep, Leices.
tershire aud Cotswold are larger, and their
mutton preferable.

y lady from this State informed me that
she was i'll Paris when Napoleon received a
splendid pair of Morgan horses, purchased in
Vermont for him, and when the driver refined
them up to his mansion, Napoleon, standing
in his portal, raised his hat from his head, a
condescension he would hardly show for
millions Of his subjects. We all know how
those Morgaus appeared-how they came up
to the mansion, head and tlil erect, " like
steers in the corn" as our ir md Uncle Da.
vid Hill used to say.

We have found that the Morgans are good

among them, were we to exOmine them for
this particular. Indeed they have ranked
very high for their trotting qualities, and
showed fast time that has scarcely been beat.
en-. This has made them very popular, and
they have commanded remunerative prices.
As gentleman of distinction remarked,
"For seller Of horses, it is only necessary
for him to establish the fact that his horses
are Of the Morgan blood, and he meets with
a ready sale at good prices, and the purchas-
ers are more than satisfied"
Says Lindsey, in his admirable work on
Morgan Horses, "the more widely and thor
oughy they are known, tho greater has been
the demand for them. Fifteen years ago the
best stations could be procured for from FIVE
to fifteen hundred dollars, the best geldings
from one hundred TO one hundred and fifty
dollars, ard the best mares from one to two
hundred. Now the best stations cannot be
procured for less than from one to three thou.
