The Dairy Products of st. Lawrence
County, N. Y.

BY the census of the United States, taken
in 1870, the dairy products of ST. Lawrence
county aggregated S,4l9,095 pounds of
butter and l, 7l0,0 pounds of cheese. At
that time she stood the first county in the
union in these products. Last year we
made very earnest effort to ascertain the
amount of butter and cheese produced dur
ing the year 1874. Taking the amounts
shipped from the different railroad stations
in the county, and calculating the probable
amount consumed in the county and the
amount on hand we estimated the produc-
ton during the year ut 10, 500, 900 pounds
of butter and 6,000, 900 pounds of cheese.
The state census was taken last year, and
II was hoped that authentic figures would
be obtained, to show how well or how lily
founded were these estimates. But when
our reporter visited the county clerks
office to make an abstract of the figures, he
found the reports for factories had been
forwarded to Albany, and consequently up
to the present time we have been unable to
ascertain the result reached by the enumer-
etors, If indeed, they ever reached any re-
suit.
We have recently renewed the efforts to
ascertain, as accurately as possible, the
amount of the products of the dairy during
the year 1875, pursuing the same course as
last year, and in this effort we have been
assisted by the superintendent of the Rome,

the latest closing for thirty years was in

If, however, anyone has such an over
weenlng confidence in the generosity of the
general assembly of Vermont, and believes
that 1t will make haste to appropriate
money for centennial purposes, even if It
has been illegally obtained, and that it will
be very anxious to pay for the supper after
IL is eaten, he can have an excellent oppor-
tunity to display that confidence and to
test that generosity without asking the
governor or state treasurer to commit per-
jury and embezzle the peoples money.
Money is needed to procure proper repre-
sentaton of Vermont at the centennial,
and we doubt not that the centennial COM
mittec will gladly receive and "judiciously
" appropriate" all money that may be con-
trlbuted. Let, then, some of these men
contribute ten thousand dollars, more or
less, and then go before the next general
assembly and ask that the money be re-
funded. Perhaps they will discover that
their confidence was not misplaced-but
we very much doubt it.
III may DC true, u PROBABLY rs true, as the
Clipper suggests, that Vermont has
money in the national banks to-day,
" which is being used by the officers there
I" of in speculations, and it would seem
better that the people have the benefit
thereof instead Of private individuals or
bank officials" This fact would justify
an appropriation on the part Of the general
assembly, but an illegal use of the money,
by the governor, never! Governor Peck,
however much VIC may disagree with him
in other respects, cannot, we are happy to
say, be urged into violation Of the con-
stitution, and for this he is entitled to the
thanks, as be already has the confidence,
of the people Of the state. If the Clipper
is to be understood as giving expression to
the opinions of the candidates whom 1t
supported, two years ago, for governor,
the people cannot be too thankful that the
canvass resulted in his defeat and in the
selection of Asahel Peck as governor

State Agent j. II. Crosby of st. Adams,

and the lecturer of the national grange,
Col. Smedley of Iowa, were present, besides
other men of note in the order. An ad-

which the public were invited. The
speaker represented the grange movement
as demand of the age, having its origin
in a real need, agriculture having fallen
behind other occupations and trades. What
the world needs is more Light, aud as farm
ers had contented themselves with plod-
ding on in the old way, new movement
was called for which should educate the
tilers of the soil, dignity and ennoble their
calling and make it more honorable and re-
munerative. The advantages of the-organ-
ization are social, educational and financial.

deep interest and frequent applause.

Political Notes.

Even the Boston Commonwealth has OBJ
tanned sufficient light to remark that third
term would "bust' any party.
Says the New York Times "Secretary
Bristow is doing his duty faithfully, and
establishing strong hold upon the conf
dence of the public"
The Utica, N Y, Herald says "The
new era began when Bristow took the
treasury portfolio. New hopes inspire The
republican party. 1t is lusty with fresh
strength. 1t approaches the presidential
ago seemed impossible. 1t is strong just
so far as it has not concealed peculation,
but has punished it to the very extent
that it has corrected abuses, and degraded
the perpetrators to the exact measure
that it has rejected the counsel of jobbers
in politics, and has aimed to respond in ac-
ton to the aspirations of the worthiest
citizens.
The special correspondent of the New
York Tribune says: A prominent republi-
can who has served on the appropriations
committee of previous congresses, and who
is as well informed in regard to the cost of
administering the government as any men,
Der of the house, gives 1t as his opinion
that a reduction of $4,000, 900 may be
made from the appropriations of last year,
but says that TO attempt to reduce them
$50, 900, 900 or $40, 900, 900 will only result
in Gripping the government, and will re-
act disastrously upon the party which at
tempts it.
The Hartford Courdnt tells "the republi-
can party" of that state that "the republi-
can party of the state can only hope for re-
newed success by proving itself to be clear
handed and in fnll sympathy with the bet
ter element which has been coming to the
front In other states since the political re.
verses of 1874. The only way to make a
successful campaign, or campaign which
will unite and strengthen the party, is to
take the strongest possible candidates, and
place them on platform which represents
heartily and sincerely the best tendencies
of the time for pure and progressive ideas. Z"

MOUNT VERNON, llth, Sep. 1893.
Dear sir. In answer to your favor of
the 9th instant, which 1 received yesterday,
inform you that have raised carrots in
the field these ten or twelve years-of
course have no other seed than such as are
usually cultivated in gardens. Previous
to the year 1889, when was drawn from
retirement, cultivated both carrots and
potatoes Tin alternate rows) between drilled
corn eight feet apart, and am persuaded
that the aggregate benefit from the practice
would be found highly profitable to far
mer who has it in his power to attend to
his business himself, and will be judicious
in the application of them. Without this
they turn to little account in the hands of
such oyerseers as are employed in CON-
mon. did not tind that they yielded equal
to the potatoes, but we're more nutritious as
a food for milch cows.
With esteem, l am, dear sir, your ODE
