can conduce to better aud more intelligent
prosecution of our business, and we must |
strive, by all proper means, to elevate our |
calling In our own estimation as well as IN |
that Of others, until we feel ourselves and |
make others admit that 1t is the highest and |
most benefcient calling in which man can
be engaged
We do not believe that 1t is necessary
now to repeat the advice which we have
taken leave to offer to the farmers and dali
rymen OF Vermont, in our reports at former
meetings of this ASSOCIATION. We would
only refer to them, and ask that their
recommendations be carefully stldied and
diligently followed, because we are conf
dent that the counsels which they contain,
will, if practically adopted, be the means
Of social and financial prosperity.
We may be permitted to point with sat
isfaction to the important results, to the
accomplishment of which the efforts of our
association have largely contributed. The
annual meeting of this association, its en-
lightencd and practical discussions on all
great agricultural questions, and the publ
cations and wide diffusion of its proceed
ings, have been productive of great and
lasting good. We hope that every member
of this association will use his best en-
deavors to promote In every way in his
power its usefulness by taking direct in
terest in its welfare and by making known
throughout the length and breadth of the
state the great advantages which it offers
to the farmers and dairymen Of the entire
state.
The evil of the world, as it is related to
young people, is that a multitude of them
grow up without being trained to accurate
and careful work in their occupation.
,yhar IL Ia TO- bot
success turns upon training, upon precIs-
ion, upon patient practice. Every young
man, aye, and every young woman, too
needs to know how to do something well,
and this can be learned only by drill, per-
severing application to one thing, by
steady, patient and unchanging temper and
ambition.
Their heads may be full of genius and
their breasts of aspirations they may be
able to do almost anything that they try
to do, having bOundless energy and ca
paciy, but if they do not settle down to a
pursuit and patiently work out its details,
they will arrive at no special success.
Young people among us have been too
easily drawn into dissipation of life, be-
cause Of the prevalence of jim crackery
theories about mental laws by sort of
| fataism in popular opinions about success ;
| by the prominence of rare instances in
which chance has seemed TO make men,
| rich or otherwise, prominent by sloppy
sentimentaliiy gushing out of the light lit
erature and some Of the popular sermon
| lzing and reforming of the time, and by
the feverish and speculative element in the
business of the last ten years. Everything
| has served to teach that there is small use
of learning to do anything well.

the old world new with few convention
resolutions, or an act of congress, seem to
| have grown tired
Sensation is at a discount with the better
part of the world. The speculation fury
has gone and left us weak and discouraged.
No time is so fitting to take a new depart
ure if it can help the young to see that their
need is to learn to do somelhing-that they
must begin at the bottom of callings and
reach the top, if at all, by hard practice and
close attention ; that nothing will now serve
but training and skill in solving the prob
lens of life.
The men who can now save fortunes OF
| make them, are those whose mental and
moral muscle and nerve have been hard
ened in the school of experience. The
coming men will not sobber sentiment ant
gush their business they will figure ouI
the per cents and calculate closely the
chances of success. A new order of things
has come upon us. The mere theorist.
will drop out of business. The young mer
may as well understand it soon they vii
miserably fail unless they learn to do som,
things well.
Those will best succeed who do th,
closest figuring. We have vast body o.
utterly skilless population-of people wht

We hope they will be. But we must III
crease our faith in training must worl
more carefully, must cheerfuly undergo
the necessary discipline, must begin il
right earnest to cease doing wrong, anC
learn to do our work we'll We must &c
down to business and learn to do something
well. Begin at the bottom of calling ant
work up to success.

God commanded Adam and not Eve Il
work and dress the garden and till the soil
This rule has been largely reversed tn,
men have turned over the question to thei
wives. Thank God Vermont has SO many
noble women. Thousands of them do th,
dairying, cooking, securing, washing an(
ironing tend the children and poultry
work the gardens, and some the field, ant
find time to do many other things that ado
largely to the pleasures of life. Whil
many of the sons of Adam have shirked tn
field and the garden, the daughters of Eve
have not forgotten the beautiful garden o
Eden, with its fruits and flowers
Whenever you meet them, in carriage o
cart, wagon or cars, on horse or on foot
they are carrying cuttings and flowers, ant
whether they live in palace or hut, hove
or tent, there yon find beautiful, fragran
flowers TO greet the eye and add charm ant
loneliness to their homes Thank God 70
such devoted women The state of Yer
mont is proud of her noble daughters.
The same beniticent being that male
adorned, warmed and ventilated the earth
as the habtation of man, did not cease t,
labor for his pleasure and happiness. w
read that "God planted garden eastwar,
in Eden, and placed in it every tree that i
pleasant to the eye and good for food. TIL
herb yielding seed and fruit tree yielding
fruit after his kind, whose seed is in ii
self" He painted the rose and the corr
silk, the lilly and the radsE. He panlet
the. apple and the onion, the date and tn
cabbage, the orange and turnip, the fig ant
potato. He favored the grape and tn,
tomato, the nutmeg and melon, the peacl
and the pea. He perlumed the tube ros
and the strawberry, the PINK and the pine
apple He also planted the tree Of life
and the tree of knowledge of good and evil,
and took the man whom he had created
and put him in the garden of Eden, to dres
and keep it.
1t seems that when Adam and Ev,
started forth into that beautiful garden il
the morning, and listened to the melody o
the forest songsters, and beheld the ricl
grass plats, bathed in the dew drops Ike I
field of diamonds, shining and sparkling IL
the warm rays of the sun, and saw
