"Gilt-Edged Butter"
Dairy OF $. F. Adams, ESQ.

Mr.. Adams lives in GreenviIc, N. H., and
is Il manufacturer Of first class quality of
butter, as is woll.known in Boston AMI
other markets, New York included, if we
mistake not. 1t is clear that Mr.. Adams
has devoted his best energies and his sharp
est wits, not small amount, by the way, to
this one thing, trying experiment after cx.
pertinent till he reached the present high
standard, and is still trying to improve. The
majority Of Vermont butter.makers are sat.
ished to go on in the old way, and get the
old time low prices, because they make the
old time common quality of butter. We
want every butter.maker to read Mr.. Adams
account, aud If you do not keep the FAR
MER cut this article out and paste it
where you can refer to it any time dur
ing the next butter season. Mr.. Adams
prepared this account for the New England
Farmer at the request of Editor Cheever.
"At your request, l herewith give you
our method Of making butter in winter.
Some two years ago, was asked by Prof.
l.. B. Arnold, of the New York Tribune, to
give him statement of my dairy methods,
and did 50, and the article was copied into
several other agricultural papers, In which
some mistakes were made. / now wish to
correct them, aud also mention few other
points, in the art Of butter making, that
have occurred to me since that time. We
keep ten cows, part of them are natives, and
part are Jerseys. The feed is nice, early
cut hay, given twice day, regularly; /
water them Immediately after eating, when
they will usually drink Feed corn meal,
wheat bran, one quart each, scalded, adding
two quarts sweet skinned milk, to each

and leaves, and give them all the salt they
wish. We Arrays milk before feeding them,

A Farmers' Paper.

At recent farmers gathering it was re-
marked by one who ought to. know, that there
was no paper in the state, to his knowledge,
that would permit the use of its columns
for discussion of agricultural education
other than that taught in our common and
classical schools and colleges. The asser-
tion was not we'll founded; there has been
radical change since the worthy gentleman
has felt the pulse Of the newspaper frater-
nifty of the state, Two lengthy articles
have appeared in the FARMER within. q few
weeks from its former editor, DR.. Hoskins,
who has been the most outspoken in the ad-
vocacy of agricultural education of any man
iu Vermont. His name is associated with
our social, intellectual and educational in
tercsts in the minds Of the intelligent far
mers and their families throughout the state.
As further proof we cut the following from
the Express aud Standard of last week from
the pen Of one who is a strong advocate for
a new list of text books for our common
schools, wherein the elements of an agricul-
tural education should be taught and ex-
planned ,,proving that there are at least two
papers 10 northeastern Vermont that will
give the farmer hearing in their columns f;
"In your issue of Dec. 26, | read with
much interest an article signed "x," upon
the common schools Of the state, aud the
writer's method of improving them. Most
OF the suggestions Of the writer are correct
as far as they GO. lie seems to take for
granted that cur teachers and textbooks are
all right. His ideas about consolidating
small districts aud having graded school
are all correct. Now what is the mission
Of our common schools Is il not to edu.
cate the school children Of the state 2 And
what shall the 5000 children of the state
learn A wise man of former age on be-
ing asked what it was proper for boys to
learn, replied: "What they should practice
when they become men," 1t is safe to say
that one-half of these children are the sons
and daughters Of farmers, aud that the com.
mon school will be the only means afforded
them for an education. If this conclusion
is correct, if the mass of sous and daughters
of the state are as they always must be, free
men and freemens wives, is it not all i'm.
portant that the advice of the wise man al.
luded to above be needed.
After we have got our districts doubled
up, aud our graded school in each town, let
us employ some competent person to propose
list Of textbooks that will explain the
principles of agriculture, Simple aud famil.
lar illustrations OF botany, chemistry, the
nature aud properties of the soil, the culture
of fruits aud flowers, and the various methods
