Washington County Butter Market,

AT the recent grange meeting held In this place,
proposition was introduced by Deputy u T. Boy
den, looking TO the establishment ola council but
ter market. The proposition was discussed at
length by him and the delegates present, and II
was voted that council agent bc appointed and
council market be established and brothers T..
T. Andrews g Moody aud !. T. Ilos,crwere
appointed committee of investigation, to report
plan and secure an agent 10 take charge IT the
market and to report at the next council meeting
Much interest is manifested throughout the county
respecting a market and an agent In comment
ing upon this matter, prominent member Of tho
grange writes us rs follows. Washington stands
the second county in Vermont in the amount Of
butter produced annually, and her butter should
be second to none in quality; yet butter sells in
the markets established in other counties consid-
erably higher than the price realized by the but
terproducers Of Washington county The problem
to be solved is: Why this difference Is our but
ter inferior, or do We pay too many commissions
TO those shipping it for US? \ council market
will solve the problem, and call dealers from the
cities, and the sovereigus, to buy our butter and
we will improve tS quality and realize good
price for good article Thousands Of dollars are
lost annually 10 the producers Of Washington
county because they do no, avail themselves Of
the advantages gained by establishing a market
and employing an agent 70 attend to the sale cf
their farm products"

DErAurMESrAL RrroRTs. The reports Of the
Secretary of War and the Navy are chiefly taken
up with statements Of the strength Of those arms
Of the national service, and the disposition Of it,
Neither would be very formidable in time Of war,
but they are no doubt sufficient for the purposes
Of peace. The idea Of maintaining strong arna-
msnts for the purpose of keeping up show Of
power, is not In keeping with the spirit Of ourpeo-
pie or Of the time It IL to be hoped that all diff
culties may be settled without resort to the de
structon aud distress Of war but 1t is still neces-
sary to be prepared all emergencies An army
of twenty-five thousand is certainly us small Ms
could be expected for the protection Of our from
tiers, and for security against Internal outbreaks.
Our navy, too, ia small enough, but II that were
put la complete trim, we hope there would be no
occasion for It's being larger What is chiefly
needed now, is 10 have our arsenals and navy
yards concentrated, and put la good working con
dition. There has been lack OF system and Of
fcieney In these, which ought 10 be remedied,
The recommendations OF the secretaries have In
view the needed improvements.
