was strongly recommended by Prof. Col.
ler and others. Where ashes we're used
they should be mixed only very short
time before using, then the earth would alb
sorb the ammonia evolved and 1t would be
mainly saved, but the use of ashes was not
to be recommended.
Mr.. Burrough had found poultry as pro-
fitabe as any other branch of farming, ac-
cording to the amount of investment, pro-
badly more profitable than any other,
A paper upon tho farmers garden written |
by Mrs. NJ. p. Rice of Springfield was then
read by Mr.. Hubbard who stated that Mrs.
Rice was practical gardener and her gar
den was a practical proof that she under
stood her subject thoroughly and was com
petent to advise and write upon it.

DISCUSSION on GARDENING.
Prof Collier stated that no one thought
that the subject should be ignored by the
board of agriculture. Anything that will
add to the comfort beauty or luxurious lv-
ing of the homes of Vermont should be en-
couraged not ignored by the board. So far
as we could we should follow the injunc-
tons of the paper just read. A fine garden
both flour and vegetable would be one more
inducemcnt to keep the boys from leaving
the farm, Another reason why good gar
den should be Kept is because it pays. All
things that are made attractive are ratci at
higher value than those that do not.
Mr. Pringle was glad to hear this paper,
he cultured flowers extensively, and he
made 1t pay. 1t was pleasing to him to
take stoical matter of fact farmers into 1t
and show them. its beauties, and observe
their shyness with which they exhibit their
admiration.
A paper upon
| 1.-THE PROGRESS OF AMERICAN CHEESE
| MANUFACTURE"
was then read by Mr.. C. w. Mudgett of
| Weatherfeld
| The dairy has become an important
branch of National Industry, and is rapidly
spreading over new fields, where the lands
are adapted to grazing, and there are liv-
ing streams, and springs, of pure water
| Two causes operate to stimulate anew the
development of this interest. large and
increasing foreign demand that is created
by the excellence OF our present product
and which it is believed is permanent. The
caused by the increase in the excellence of
our present product. 1t is thought by
good Judges. that this increase of demand
will more than keep pace with the increase
of the product. These two facts in view,
are an earnest of permanent remuneratio,
in the dairy business.
A few wears since. everything was done
by guess, and all operations of the dairy were
rude. and undeveioped. and no science or
svstnm was used in The manufactures of
cheese II was not until 1851 or .. that
the manufacture of cheese by the factory
system. by a daryman by the name of Will
liams at Rome Oneida county n. Y, and
introduced. 1t was suggested by accden-
tai circumstances. This plan proved so
successful. that the present factory plan
has made great and rapid strides in public
favor. So much more uniform quality can
be secured, and dairymens wives and fam
lilies are relieved of so much labor. that
the plan has great reforms to recommend
it. Now cheese can be manufactured with
out breaking down the health of whole
families of females. and the dairyman NAV
reap the rich profits of the business, with
out making sacrifice for which, even nc.
cumulatcd wealth must be n sad compensa-
ton.
The advantages for the factory system,
are uniformity superior quality, higher
prices, saving by buying at wholesale, such
materials as are used in the manufacture,
and marketing, and finally (last but not
least, relieving the farmer and his family
from the drudgery of the manufacture and
care of cheese.
The agent or superintendent, sees that all
the work is properly performed by skllful
faithful workmen, as it is always for his
interest to do his best, and as he has all
conveniences at hand, and no other bust
ness to distract his attention, he is able to
build I'D and sustain a reputation for max
ing, and putting upon the market fine goods,
as in other professions and acts, by giving
up his whole attention, and directing his
researches in one direction, he is able to
become more skilled, and arrive nearer per.
lection in his calling, than he who has Il
multitude of other things to scatter his
thoughts, and distract his attention.
The question is often asked, is the fac
