In reference to the commissionership OF
Agriculture, the Prairie Farmer has the
following remarks. The concluding sentence,
nominating Mr.. Goodae, Of Maine, exactly
meets our idea Of " the right man in the
right place"
Some of our contemporaries are encour-
aging the country to hope for change in
the head of the Agricultural Bureau. They
hint that Mr. Watts may be asked to re-
sign at no very distant day. They discuss
pretty freely the character of gentlemen who
are supposed to be candidates for the place.
Among the names mentioned are those OF
John X. Dodge, the present statstclan OF the
Department, John p. Reynolds, Of Illinois,
Prof j. w. Hoyt, of Wisconsin, DIR, Lor'
ing, of Massachusetts,, and VIM. Saunders,
Esq, present Horticulturist Of the Depart
ment. That either Of these gentlemen
would now accept the position, if offered it,
is of course matter Of conjecture. Some
of them, we know, do not seek it, and have
never sought it, though their names have
before been mentioned in connection with the
Office Were we to make out list of names
of gentlemen from whom to ask the Presl-
dent to choose we should certainly include
in it that of Mr.. S. l.. Goodae, of Saco
Maine.

The scales usel we're Howes platform scales,
nearly new and in good order, but would not
indicate difference Of less than one.fourth
Of pound, and by them there was no differ
ehce indicated IN the weight of the two
patches each weighed precisely IL lbs be-
fore the salt was added.
The difference in the weight Of the cream
is easily accounted for, there having been
an evaporation from the pans amounting to
FIVE pounds in weight more than from the
pals, caused by the greater extent Of surface
exposed.
1t will be seen that this experiment was
conducted under the most favorable circum-
stances for the success Of the shallow setting.
The result will be different whenever the
temperature of the room rises much above or
falls much below 60s, and is relied upon to
temper the milk in the pans, while the milk
in the pats is tempered rightly by artificial
means.
II will readily be seen that the amount
produced by the pals will be greater than
that from the pans, just in proportion as the
degree Of heat or cold in the room rises
above or falls below a right mean.
1t is upon this and other like experiments,
together with the general fact of the increas-
ed production Of my dairy per COW since its
adoption, that base my conclusions in this
matter.

description of every step in the process Of the

Congress did good thing when, being
called upon by the press to abolish dead
headism in the mails, it made thorough
work, and served the newspapers with the
same sauce that the editors thought so
healthy for the Congressional stomach.
There is not now, nor ever was, any valid
reason Why the United States should trans
port new ,papers gratuitously, any more than
any other commodity. We say, therefore,
that, tn "a % probably done in spirit of re-
taliatiou toward the press, it is all right.

payment of newspaper postage from publish

true that it would save some labor to post
masters, but in the present condition OF the

THURSDAY AFTERoON.

The sesslon was opened by a brief well
coming address from
LoveIand MunsOn, Esq,
OF Manchester In this address Mr.. Munson
expressed his regret at the want Of any or
g1nization among the farmers of the vicinity,
and attributed the lack Of an earlier invita-
ton to the Board not so much to a want Of
interest in the matter, as to this utter abb
senca of organization there being not a single
agricultural society or club in the whole OF
Bennington County, lie thought if the OBJ
jcct Of the Board is to do good in the depart
ments Of industry to which it is devoted, its
members could not have come to place
where better opportunity was offered. He
believed that, if rightly appreciated the
work OF the Board must do much to promote
the industrial interests Of the state.
On motion, W. r. Dean, Esq, Of Man
chester, was called to the chair.
Professor Collier apologized for the UNI
avoidable absence of President Buckham
from the meeting, and announced paper by

Mr.. Douglass, OF the Board We find in
this question many contradictory experiences
II seems best to continue cultivating if you
commence it. Like causes produce like ef.

you must each one Of you think and act for
himself-use your owa brains. Success and
failure alike are due to some reason. We
send thousands of dollars yearly out of the
state for fruit. Some years an unusual yield
of apples guts our markets. would advise
the making of cider from the surplus and to

This boiled cider sells at 1928 per gallon,

FRIDAY EVENING.
The first paper of the evening was by
J. II, Putnam,

}. H. Putnam,
Secretary the Of Grafton Farmers Club, upon
The Cultivation ard Grotcillg Of the Apple.
The leading question presented to the
mind Of every farmer in considering any new
method or agricultural pursuit is, will it pay ?
For the profitable growing of the apple, soil,
locality and climate must be favorable. Any
locality where the apple grows spontaneously
may be regarded as favorable although this
fundamental truth is generally ignored
Many seem to think that any trees from any
place will grow anywhere They set tree
as they would post, and consider their Ia
Dor ended. We should remember that the
statement, faith without works is dead,
applies to fruit growing and everything else
| will briefly mentiOn few of the conditions
of success, and state my views.
]. Exposure. A certain exposure in
certain place may be favorable, and unfavor'
able elsewhere. No definite rule can be laid
down, though generally southern or eastern
exposure is good.
2. Soil. Any soil which will grow corr
proftably may be considered suitable for thu
apple. The preparation should be the SAINT
as for the growth of corn crop. The SINAI
grains and grass crops are bad crop for thu
orchard, and these can only DO successfully
