Vermont Dairymen's Association.

Editor Rutland Globe Il observe no.
tce going the rounds OF the press in rela-
ton to the contemplated winter meeting of
the Vermont dairymen's association at Rut-
land, which is liable to erroneous interpret
alton. Permit me to offer word in way
of correction.
The meeting will commence in the fore
noon of Wednesday, January 10th. The
hour to be hereafter fixed, depending some
what upon the running of trains. The
preliminary exercises are usually quite
brief. Last year the man to whom was
assigned the first general exercise declined
to proceed because the attendance was 80
small. This year he has no place on our
programme, and the debate upon the ques-
ton, elbow shall we derive most profit
from our milk ?" will be opened promptly
on time, whether the people are in attend
ance or not, by Mr.. William Blanding of
Broome county, N. Y, one of the most
successful factory and creamery managers
in this country. Many other practical men
are engaged to follow Mr. Blanding, but
the order in which their papers will be in
troduced will depend somewhat upon the
DRIFT of the argument and cannot thus
early be announced. Mr. L. S. Hardin of
Kentucky, will be present and detail his
experience with the Swedish system of
butter making. We expect to give the
whole of the first day and evening to this
debate which will cover the whole subject
of dairy practice. Opportunity will be af-
forded for propounding any questions upon
the topics discussed.
On the morning of the Goth the debate
will be upon the general question, slow &c
get the most milk" This will embrace
both feeding and breeding. 1t is not ye
definitely determined who will lead off
Hon. II. S. Gold of Connecticut, Prof. L
W. Stewart of Cornell university, the pop
ular editor of the Lice Stock Journal o
Buffalo, whose last years address won hin
many new friends in Vermont, Mr.. Chas
A. Champion of East Swanton, WHOSE
record of the product of his dairy is tn,
best published of Vermont dairy, anl
several other gentlemen of prominence ar
expected to take part In the debate.
On the morning of Friday Prof. Y. A
Willard, the veteran dairy writer of tn,
country, will deliver an address-topic no
announced.
The remainder of the day will be devote,
to addresses and discussions on genera
topics of interest and unfinished business
There will be no best day, or, rathe
every day will be best. No time will b
wasted on irrelevent topics or untried thee
ries.
We deeply regret thas Prof. Edward j
wickson, upon whom we had depended t
take prominent part in the exercises o
the meeting, has removed to the Pacif
slope, and has accordingly disappointed us
: Other than that we expect all the leadin
t and more prominent of the gentlemen VIII
have heretofore been with us will be In a
a tendance and take part In the exercises
: We also expect many new ones
: Rutland has the hall and hotel accommt
dations for all who may come, and we ha,
felt at liberty TO extend our invitation
much wider than on any previous occasion
G and have thus far been most unexpected
y grati6ed with the almost universally favo
( able responses. We confidently hope
$ make this the grandest reunion of progre
sive, practical agriculturists and dairyms
