ALL FOOLS DAY.

1t is highly proper that at least one
day In the year should be set apart for
the special observance Of the numerous
class among us who have arrogated to
themselves the first day of April for the
purpose of playing pranks upon the wise
and sedate. The only objection that
we have to the day is the mode of its
observance. There is no justice, poetic
or otherwise, in folks of little wit send.

The most marked result of the war
of 1870 in France, is one which could
scarcely have been expected to have
arisen from it, 1t is a growing and
violent breach between the masses of
the French people and the priests. The
feeling is not confined to the lowest
classes nor to the inhabitants of towns.
nor even to men. There is repugnance
to the priests, and an alarm at their
design and detestatlon of them as the
secret causes of the war of 1870 which
Is found in Brittany and is spread
throughout France. That the priests
dragged France into the late disastrous
war, that it is to the priests that almost
every family owes the loss of some we'll
known face in its home circle, and that
1t Is the priests who made sugar, oil
soap and candles enormously dear bv
the new taxation which the war has
made necessary, is the firm belief of the
suffering heads of countless humble
families from Calais TO Nice.

The New York papers are stirring up
nasty bread bakers. A reporter recently
visited bakery on Tenth avenue and
found six men at work in a basement.
One seemed to be afflicted with a bad
catarrh, and had handkerchief with
which he frequently blew his nose. Af-
ter each spell of blowing, the handker-
chief was neatly folded and carefully
laid upon the edge of the trough, in
which the baker was mixing laroe
batch of dough. The floor of the bak.
cry was thickly covered with little
mounds or hillocks of dirt, and several
dogs were running about the place pok-
ing their noses into -four tubs and Yeast
pals. The six bakers were working
like beavers. and the heat in the room
was so intense that the men had remov-
ed their shirts, streams of perspiratiou
cOursing down their naked skins.

DAIRYING IN VERMONT.

While in many instances, during the
last few years, general farming has not
been remunerative, we believe that dali
rying has been profitable in nearly every
case where it has been made a speciality.
The prices of dairy products have not
materially lessencd in the last five years,
Notwithstanding the decline in the prize
es of stock, WOOL grain and other farm
products. We believe it safe to predict
that milk, butter and cheese will not be
cheaper for the next FIVE years, than
they have been for the FIVE years past
and if this proves to be true. no farmer
Who can carry on the dairying business,
ought to hesitate in regard to adopting
it as his business. Vermont, on account
Of location, and advantages peculiar to
itself, will always be able to successful
ly compete with other localities in the
production of butter and cheese. In one
day our dairy products can be carried TO
almost any of the New England cities,
arriving cool, fresh, and in satisfactory
condition, while that from the west must
be injured more or less by transporta-
ton. The population of our manufac-
turing cities is constantly on the in
crease, but the dairy regions can not
be greatly expanded, hence the demand
is on the increase, while the supply can
not be made great enough to over-stock
or glut the market for any length of
time. Vermont has the advantages of
sweet pasturage, good hay, pure water,
a cool climate, and intelligent dairymen
and dairywomen and there is no other
place near the great consuming districts
of New England and New York that
possesses equal advantages, so that what
ever other sections may be able to do in
the line of cheaper products, we can
make the best article, and the best al
ways sells at high price. Vermont
dalrymen, possessing these advantages,
ought to improve upon them by adopting
every new and useful invention or meth.
cd of manufacture that will raise the
excellence of the manufactured products
and then, in order to put our butter and
cheese beyond competition, in our home
as we'll as foreign markets, it only re.
mains to SO educate eUery dairyman thai
not pound of inferior butter or cheese
shall be made in the state. One dair,
of poor butter sent with ten diaries O
excellent batter, will be enough to ours,
the ten and give the whole section wher,
the poor was produced, bad reputation
so that it is most important that all but
ter sent from section should be good
With intelligence and attention to thi
great interest, the amount and characte
of this valuable product can be so in
creased and improved as to add million
of dollars to our income, and to Civ
profitable employment to all who wisl
to engage in dairying.
