ing can possibly be gained by making
choice of such as may be offered cheap
at great bargain. The most inferi-
or goods in pianos are furnished in
very handsome cases, and ii is also true
that when new, they may seem to
sound well, in fact as well as those
claiming to be and really are recognize
ed as reliable instruments. Tone and
durability are the chief qualifications
which stamp the genuine instruments,
and any piano needs one, two or more
years of careful use to determine what
its merit may be-and hence the pianos
having world wide reputation for
durability and critical merit afford the
only safe investment. The Steinway
piano has been before the American
public for twenty-scven years, the
Chickering piano for over fifty years,
and these two Instruments afford the
most for the money, and positively in
sure substantial Investment. These
instruments are represented exclusively
by Mr.. Fred Ii. Cluett, at Troy, N. Y,
and we learn that he is furnishing them
at great reduction upon former prices
Our record of the agricultural
meetings last week closed with the ex-
ercises of Thursday evening. Friday
there was also good attendance and
sustained interest Prof. w. III. Brew
er opened the exercises by reading n
paper on "Suet butter" He treated
the subject at considerable length, and
exhibited the suet in the form of oil be-
fore it is churned, and also ball of the
butter. lie said he had used il i'm his
family for cooking purpose for year,
and it gave good satisfaction, but that
he had now stopped using it, as he pre-
ferred dairy butter. He said that the
article was known in the market as
oleomargarine, and that great quantities
were shipped to Texas and the West
Indies, and that it was preferred in hot
countries to butter as it stands the
weather much better. 1t can be mixed
with poor butter to the great benefit OF
the butter and also the mixers pocket.
1t is sold at the factory at New Haven,
Conn, at retail, for twenty-five cents.
Prof. Brewer was followed by Mr.. G..
Horace Hubbard, who addressed the
meeting on the "Care of Udder." In
the afternoon after song by Mrs. f. G. D..
Sceley, Mr.. F. ID. Douglas read paper
on milk setting, which was followed by
a general discussion upon the subject,
several relating their experiences and
observations. In the evening the exer-
\cises were held in Academy hall, and
Nhcre was fair attendance in spite of
the unfavorable weather. Mr.. j. A.
Rouse read paper on cheese making as
made in our American manufactures,
and Prof. Brewer gave an admirable
and interesting discussion of parasitic
diseases of crops. At the close of the
meetings, which were considered very
satisfactory, the following resolution
was adopted:
Resolved, That we tender our hearty thanks to

to their pleasant homes as well as the delicious
dinners at the lower hall to Mr.. Peck and the
Gee Club for the music that has so cheered the

have provided; also to the Central Vermont Rail
road for the courtesy Of free return passes.
