ARBITRATION AGAIN.

see that my article in former number
of your paper upon grange arbitration has
called forth few pertinent and compliment
ary remarks from "a Patron" He no doubt
judges truly when he says that three-fourths
of the entire community are in favor Of
arbitration for the settling Of minor differ
ences. If this statement is true, land who
will deny it, why, ask, has it been ignor-
ed by the mass Of the people? Why has it
been left to the Patrons of Husbandry to
bring the matter prominently before the pub
lie? Is it not because the farmers have less
to gain and more to suffer than any othcr
class from the present system? "a Patron
candidly says that if better plan can be
devised than theirs, he is ready to adopt it.
l feel the justice of the remark, and feel
that am in duty bound, as one who thrives
by the plow (if at ally, to either bring for
ward a more feasible plan for the betteriDg
of the condition of the farmer, or to join
hands with the grange and help to bring the
farmer up to level with other professions.
One thing l will freely admit: The day
for prating and sneering at the order is past.
If they are to he put down it must be by
argument, and not by slander and misrepre-

said officers" in reply to a question as to
the notice, said, "SOme of us happened to
be here (MOntpslier) and thought it good
time to make up list Of officers" which is
simply a-mistako. No officer or director
Of the Society could have made such state
ment. The time and place Of that meeting
was fixed by vote of the directors at their
last meeting near the close Of the fair at
st. JOhnsbury the September previous, and
upon my motion, and for the reason then
and there stated, that that time and place
would convene greater number and secure
larger attendance than any other. 1t was
the duty Of the secretary to publish the no.
tice and have no doubt but he did SO, al.
though l cannot now state from recollection
in what papers saw it,
Although it will not be likely to have much
weight with "One OF Them" will take thii
opportunity to say that l have been a constant
attendant upon the meetings of the society
and of the directors for many years, and
neither inside nor outside of those meetings
have l ever heard an expression, or even
the faintest whisper of a suggestion of a de-
sire that the meetings should not be largely
attended.

merits, and the results were that by supply

with the poor; if SO it will suffer in compar-
ison, and bring a less price.
Mr. Mason was called upon To state plain
ly his methods and success, and in response
he said that the men who had his cheese were
strangers to him, but this season his cheese
sold for II cents pound If any of you

assembled, that their thanks are rendered to

was followed Immediately by paper from
A. Dwinell, Esq,
of Calais, on "How to Keep Young Men in
Vermont" which we also hope to give to
our readers without unnecessary delay. In
the discussion of the subject Of this paper
Mr.. Jameson spoke Of the equalization Of
taxes, and urged that the evil should be cor
rected.
Hon. G. II. Heath explained how the
grand list Of Vermont had got to be so much
below the real value. 1t has occurred by
the competition between towns and counties
to see that they are not overvalued, resulting
in different degrees Of undervaluation. He
also spoke Of the injustice Of taxing land and
also taxing mortgages thereon, but did not
suggest remedy. Much money property is
also invested so as to conceal ii from listers.
But these inequalities have not SO much to
do with the going away Of young men as the
fact that we have too little diversity in our
industry. We send to other states for hund-
reds Of manufactured articles that can be
proftably made at home. Most well consid-
cred attempts at manufacturing among US
have been successful, and some oI them emin.
emily so. There is money enough in Ver-
mont to establish great variety of useful
and necessary manufactures Our laws offer
encouragement by remitting five years taxa
tion on such investments The success de-
pends simply upon judicious management,
and Vermont can furnish such management
if Vermont capitalists will supply the capi-
tai, of which they have so much loaned on
bond and mortgage. The result will be a
great advance in the valuation, and Il
good home market for everything that the
farm produces.
Mr.. Douglas heartily endorsed these SEN
timents of Mr.. Heath. The farmers were
taxed unjustly because the money capitalists
have made the laws. This has led to under
valuation by the farmers in order to get
little nearer to equality. As regards man
ufactures, the great difficulty has been the
want of capital at an interest that manulac.
turing Industry can afford to pay.
Prof Collier announced the meeting Of
the Dairymens' Association at Essex juno.
tion during this month, and urged large
attendance from Washington County.

l may well be content to leave his charges
of rings and frauds upon the State Society,
to such consideration as the public may
think them entitled to. Tho various agri.
cultural societies now embrace very large
proportion Of the farmers in the states, and
if in this thOir first organized effort to inn
prove their condition, jockeyism and
fraud are prominent features with all of
them, then surely the outlook is very poor
for any hope of reform in state or national
affairs, by or through any farmers move
ment." OLD BLooD.

THE OLD YEAR.

The noisy chime Of bells come waited on
the breeze, and as we listen to their glad
music as they bid all a merry Christmas, the
thought comes unbdden, this is the first re-
minder that the year so fraught with changes
to us all is drawing to close. But this,
the anniversary of the birth of the King of
all nations, is day Of rejoicing. Old and
young alike join in the festive lscenes, and
many are the hearts that are gladdened by
some unexpected token of love or kindness.
And, although tho gift may be but trifing,
perhaps useless ornament, the motive that
prompted it makes it precious.
But Christmas, like all other days, soon
becomes portion Of the past, and Dec. 81,
the last day OF the year, will be here. How
few there are that will even think that the
day is more than other days. but there will
be bright anticipations FOR the day that sue
ceeds it, and tomorrow is New Years"
will be often repeated. But on this, the last
day of the year, we have an important duty
to perform. The duty Of retrospection may
be unpleasant, but as we take a backward
glance and note our shortcomings, our failures
and numberless errors, may it be done hum
bly,, and with determination to have bet
ter record the coming year. No time more
appropriate for new and better resolves no
time like this TO commence the work of re.
form. The old year has recorded our mis-
spent time, our follies and mistakes. The
book is soon closed; no pen can erase or
change the record. And as we wish the
editor, contributors and many readers of the
FARMER a merry Christmas and happy
New Year, would also wish them record
for the year to come without one blot to mar
its beauty, and the year as it closes have no
cause to lament.
Hsrk what's this that's DER me stealing
How II swells upon the ear,
Bringing us 4 tale Of sadness
The lament Of the old year,
For II tells of work neglected
And Of duties never done,
And II says, be up and doing,
Soon will come the setting sun.
Soon your days will all be Numbered
And your work on earth DO o'er;
Soon you'll join the dear departed
Loved ones ON the other shore.
There will be no pain or anguish,
Sin never come;
There you'll live through years eternal
In your bright, celestial home.

ANOTHER GRANGE SONG.

The following quaint little poem is going the round
We are not aware Of the authors name or in what p
per II first appeared,
1t is an ancient farmer,
And he is one Of three
He said unto the middleman,
eve have no need ofthee.
This man here makes his cloth
And sells II unto me;
lie buys my wheat, and thus we save
The slice that went TO thee.
''Your eyes too dim growing
Get spectacles," said he,
That you may soc some higher grade
Ofwheat than number three"
The cunning middlemen
Laughed out. " Ha-ha te-he
Upon your back I'll stand and ill
My pockets from the tree"
Then turned the ancient farmer
The middlemAn about,
And, with some words Of kind advice,
lie gently kicked him out.
