Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1874-09-18


nent. lie showed the famous imported
two-year-old buck, "Royal George" weigh
ing 22l pounds, which was sired by the
best two-year-old ever exhibited in Eng
land, and was imported in 1873, having
been purchased by Mr.. Billings from the
Merton flock of the late Lord Wasingham.
Six eve lambs from "Royal George" were
shown, some of which weigh 100 pounds
each. There were also comprised in this
flock five two year-old ewes which took
the first prize at the fair of the Royal Agri-
cultural Society of England, in 1878. II. G.
Hill of Gilmore, who has devoted twenty
years to the breeding of Cotswolds, showed
n fine flock of this stock.
Senator Morrill, delivered the address on
Thursday, and 1t was, of course, able and
interesting. Abiding TO the subject of
reciprocity with Canada, he said that new
treaty would be "thoroughly milk-and-
water craftsmanship" He warned his
hearers of the Canadian wool, and secuted
the idea that we should have 10 pay Cana
da large sum for the fisheries, If the trt atty
was not negotiated. One of his points
against the treaty was that most Of our for
eign treaties guarantee to the respective
powers privileges equal to those of the most
favored nation. Under these clauses, near
ly The whole world, says Mr.. Morrill,, will
claim the same concessions which we make
to Canada. The Senator's address further
dealt with agriculture as dependent on ed
ucation and generous public schools, and
recommended, among other things, that
gold medal be awarded annually to the
cultivator OF the best farm in the State.
