THE SEVENTH WINTER MEETING OF THE YER
MONT DAIRYNEN's ASSOCIATION.
On Friday Gov HYDE, of Connecticut,
read paper. giving general resume Of
agricultural progress and its lessons TO
our farmers. Then followed q paper BY
Y. A. Willard, on the Improvement Of
Cheese by Curing. Mr.. Willard summarized
hi, ideas as follows: LIST, but little ad-
vance can be made in the line Of improve
ment without special care in curing cheese;
ID, by this high standard of excellence
can be secured; 3D., the proper temperature
is found to be from seventy to seventy-fve
degrees and be kept uniform /; 4th, bitter
taste is developed by improper curing
9Th, moisture is an important element IN
cheese curing, nd should be 80 distribut-
ed as not to produce mould in the room
9th. from thirty to thirtv-fve per cent. of
moisture must be retained in curing cheese;
9TH. a proper temperature must be main
tai ned, securing saving Of at least four
per cent in the weight of cheese 9Th, by
using refrigerator room, cheese made in
the not season may easily be kept till bet
ter prices can be secured 9th, with our
present knowledge,a certain amount OF fat
Is necessary to secure a good, sweet, we'll
favored cheese, and hence excessive skim
mirg must not be practised.
ilter some debate on this subject, Mr..
A ". Cheever, editor of the New England
Farmer, read paper on the Care of Pas
lures" TO get the most from our pastures,
there should be several kinds, as grass does
not grow much after the blooming sea-
son is past, and hence the need of
varieties in order to keep the
feed good during the entire season.
When seeding ~ pasture, all the kinds of
grass known should he sown, so as to get
the most in return. lie gave at this point
an amusing account of his observations on
IL, Canada thistles in Vermont, and advis-
ed our farmers to exterminate them by cut
ting down next the ground with sharp
hoe. Most grass goes to seed in June and
grows but little after that, and the pasture
yields less profit than it would If we'll stock
ed with a large variety of grasses. In grow
ing corn fodder, 1t must not be too thick ,as
the sunlight Is necessary to mature 1t and
develop its nutritious qualities. A pasture
should not be overled. or underfed, and in
the Fall there should be some left to protect
the roots from the cold of Winter
Next came the awarding of prizes Hon
Alney Stone, OF Westford. took the first
prize for best tub of Fall butter and the Sec
ond prize for cheese and c. Ii. Cobb, of
WestlOrd, took the first premium on Winter
butter

GRAND ISLE. GALLANT CONDUCT OF
YOUNG HERo.-A correspondent tells the
story of the recent drowning accident at
Kibby's Point, as follows: On the l4th
inst. party consisting of Joseph Young
and his two daughters, Maggie and
Johanna, Theodore Socia and Charles
Cameron and younger brother, start
cd from Savage Island, to visit friends
on Kibby's Point, distant about three
miles. When within about fifteen rods
Of the Point, all. with the exception Of
the younger Cameron. who was skating q
few rods behind. suddenly found themselves
struggling for life in the open water. This
was about o. CLOCK, at which time it was
verv dark. The younger Cameron was so
afrightened that be could not DO induced
to approach near enough to render any
assistance; but Charles Cameron, who is
an expert swimmer, after several ineffec-
tual efforts, finally got out upon the solid
Ice. Having Invested himself Of his boots
and other clothing he CROPPED his way back
to the hole upon his hands and knees The
first person rescued was Sofia, young man
about 25 years old, weighing not far from
10 pounds, whom be found perched upon
Young's back, and dragged away from the
hole to place of safety. He crawled back,
as before. and dragged Maggie out by the
hair of her head she is very heavy
young lady, and at this time had become
nearly exhausted He made two attempts
before he succeeded in drawing her out.
the first time pulling off her hood. and
finally had to plunge into the water
again himself. There now remained
in the water Young and his young
est daughter. the latter clinging with
death-like tenacity to one leg of the
former. By dint of great exertioh Cameron
finally succeeded in pulling Young out on
to the ice. but in doing so broke the hold of
the daughter, and she Immediately sank to
the bottom. There still remained yet
harder task for Cameron to perform, to get
these poor half drowned and now nearly in
sensible victims back to Savage Island, a
distance of three miles. But he proved
equal to this emergency also for, hatless
and bottles, carrying Young in his arms
a large part of the way and dragging him
the rest. he finally made YOung's dwelling
again with his entire rescued party, two of
whom could have endured exposure but
few minutes longer. This is but plain,
unvarnished statement of this poor, inlet
tered Canadians achievement. His con-
duct on this occasion invests him with a
moral grandeur, a sublimity of heroism and
will forever keep mis- memory green in the
hearts of at least three humble persons to
save whose lives he imperiled his own.

bury, druggist, has failed, with liabilities
OF about 50 600
\ correspondent says that the failure OF ".
IL. Darby of Alburgh, will be heavy loss to
the farmers in that part of the town where he
did business, as nearly every one will lose by
the failure. and some of them will be seri-
ously embarrassed. Mr. Darby has been
doing business in the town for upwards of
thirty years. and has, until within short
time. had the confidence of the business
community. IL Is thought his liabilities
will reach the amount first estimated. $40
DOC, and his assets will probably not amount
to more than 500 His creditors in
clude nearly the whole of the business com
munlty that escaped IRON the heavy
loss caused by Boardman absconding, last
Summer, and between the two, farmers
have sustained serious loss. Mr. Darby
has been dong business for the last year IN
Clinton county, y. Y. and has some credit
Ors there. A young man from that county
on hearing OF his embarrassment, came over
to see il he could get his pay, and finding
that his property had been attached, he
moaned and groaneG. found iault and said
1t was a shame that he should be cheated
out of his just claim, etc. Many who had
lost heavily sympathized with him, and
some one inquired the amount of his claim.
He said it was almost Sif dollars, and
that he had been to considerao ole expense IN
coming after 1t, and thought 1t wasn't
right for him to lose it." He took the
