all farmers should help sustain the order Of

reasons apply to the mechanics to sustain the

did not believe that this class OF people re-

they produce. In other words the middle
men who transferred this property from the

share, and they looked about them for
remedy, and they said, "Let us organize and
do our own buying and selling, and see If
we cannot save better margin of profit"
Hence the organizations tho effect Of which
almost everybody is now willing to aOknOwl-
edge has been to reduce the prices Of goods
and the percentage that these middlenen
were making, much to the benefit not only
to those in the order, but to those out, and
any person of ordinary discernment can
readily see that unless the order is sustained,
or if it is supposed to 60 down, prices Of
goods will revert back TO where they were
before the order went into operation. How
was IT at the time the union stores started ?
What operation brought down the prices of

down while they lasted. But when they
were "busted up" the prices went up also

1t is claimed by some that the superiority

give better results from good feeding, some-

Cheese Discussion.

In the general discussion following Mr..
COlburns paper on "Chsese," (Which was
printed in the FARMER last week) several
important particulars were called up. In
regard to white whey, Mr.. Colburn said the
cheese should be pressed gently ut first, 80 as
not to start the white whey, as the richest
part was in this and should be retained, and
could be If careful in pressing. Afterwards
the cheese should be pressed exceedingly
hard, SO that it would be close and firm in
texture.
N. Davis, of East Montpelier, made in-
quiries of the board in regard to skim cheese,
as to whether they could be made that were
soft and fac, and thHs add to the profits of
dairying.
Prof. Collier deprecated all attempts to
reduce the quality of our cheese, as it was
necessary to keep up the quality to even a
higher standard than now, to secure constant
and steady demand, and that was what
cheese producers wanted more than any one
thing else. The placing Of an inferior arti-
Gle on the market will eventually work great
damage to the cheese interest Of the country,
aud he believed in farmers making q first
class article, as 4 market scarcely ever gets
overstocked with this, while an inferior arti-
Gle no one wants, and therefore it is for the
interest Of all to make the best.
j. f. Hollister stated that he had been
informed by good authority that by using
saltpeter aud lobelia with the rennet skim
cheese was made soft and good looking, aud
cheese so doctored was apt to make those
who ate Of 1t sick.
o. II. HOyt, Of PlaiD6e!d, mentioned an
instance Of a cheese maker who had made
cheese a great many years, who the past
season found when they came to eat the
cheese that they we're all made sick by it,
and could not find out the cause, and had to
give up making cheese
+. ID. Douglas said he did not pretend to
know much about cheese, but had heard Of
cheese making individuals sick. but he did
not understand the reason why. He gave an
instance Of chicken pie being used at pic.

Fruit Culture for Profit.

quite agree with Mr.. Butter6eld that
fruit particularly apples, can be grown in
any part Of Vermont IL you procure the
right varieties (it takes no more room for an
apple tree than crSb) and give them the
right care. Without this you had better
leave planting alone, for it only discourages
others. l have plenty of trees for sale that
can recommend, but what credit would it
be 10 me in two or three or more years
time to hear Mr.. Tom, Dick, or Harry say,
"Those trees bought oi you went off amaze
ingly well first year or so. All lived, but
some how or other the cows got in and
cropped them" This is only one cause Of
so much disappointment. do not care for
such customers. 1t is no credit to sell, no,
not even handful Of cabbage plants, to a
person that will come back and tell you the
turkeys or the fowls ate them all up or the
caterpilars destroyed them. Ifa few cab
bage plants are worth buying they are
worth taking care OF, which could very casi.
ly be done. A temporary frame aud few
yards of mosquito netting would save your
cabbage from caterpillars. The netting
would last for three years if taken care of.
But to return to apples.
Mr.. Butterfeld says, Where shall we OBJ
tain our treesf say at home, certainly.
Buy trees worked on stocks grown from
seed saved from native fruit, old trees which
have stood so to 100 years, and those graft
ed with scions procured from the north.
Then all the chances OF climate are in your
trees favor.
Buying trees of peddlers is the last course
l should recommend. A nursery man has
a portion Of land in trees which he wants
cleared off and he sends out lot Of fellows
who will sell you any variety you want or
at any rate that you ask for, and warrant
them.
That farmers have very mach neglected
one Of the most profitable branches Of bust.
ness is quite apparent, and l am afraid that
as long as farmers persist in buying the
cheap articles there will be much disap-
pointment. THOMAS FARRANr.

Breeds of Cattle Adapted to Vermont

Understanding the object of a paper to

what breeds Of cattle are the best for others,
but to enquire if the introduction OF new or
foreign bloods are beneficial to the dairy in
terests of Vermont, presenting few items
of my own experience aud observation.
1t is we'll known that have been an adj
vocate of native stock for the average YER
mont farmer, having in former years tested
somewhat Of the then known breeds by way
of grades, viz Of the Ayrshires, Durhams,
Devons, aud Hersfords. never found any

Milk Pans-Which il Besti

This is a question that would be difficult
to answer, for you might let six disinterest-
ed men experiment with as many Of the
leading pans, and probably there would be
no two that would classify them alike. Four
or FIVE years ago saw some notice in the
papers of the Jewett pan, and all spoke of
them as great Improvement over the small
or common milk pan. From that time be-
gan to enquire and investigate, (aud expert
ment as to deep or shallow setting) until l
had to the best Of my ability examined the
Jewett, Smith, Hodgdon, Cowles, Washing
ton Co., Empire State, A. r. Bailey's,
Orange Co., IN. ", Compartment, and the
Morrisville pan, and for the followiog rea.
sons chose the Morrisvile pan: ] consid-
cred the arrangement for drawing of the
milk, the metallic stopper and spring bottom,
ahead Of any other except A. II. Bailey's,
which is the same, but l considered the ar.
rangemeut Of their cooler the greatest i'm
provement of all. / would state that am
perfectly satisfied with my pans. The tenn
perature is alike in all parts Of the pan, and
then boiling water can be used to raise the
temperature which cannot be said of any
other cooler ever saw.
l had six pans, four small and two large
ones, which l like better than think l
should the Compartment. Some claim one
advantage of the Compartment is, that you
can set more than four milkings in cool
weather but claim that if the tempera-
ture is so low that the cream will not all
rise in 4S hours there will be a deficiency
both in quantity and quality.
