II We have received q copy of the
"Fourth Report Of the Vermont Board
ofAgriculture" for the year 1877, by the
secretary of the Board, Prof. Fl. M.
Seely. 1t is book of some four hun
dred pages, containing a list of Mem
bers of the Board, business report of
secretary, business meetings and public
meetings of the Board, and other SINH
lar matter. The body of the report,
however, is made up of the discussions
and the papers read at the different
meetings. These papers are upon all
kinds of subjects connected with agri-
culture, and altogether they form very
valuable mass Conformation that should
be in every farmers hands. Nearly
half of the book is taken up by the re-
port Of the secretary of the Vermont
Dairymen's Association, which consists
chiefly of q report of the eighth winter
meeting of the Association in Burling-
ton, in January, 1877, which report,
though it might have been largely con-
densed with good results, embodies
much of value and interest to all dairy
men. The Typography of the work is
very creditablc to the printers, j. 4 j.

WISDOM ABOUT POSTAL CARDS.
There is one rather absurd thing about
postal cards that seems not to be gener-
ally known. A good writer, who gots
things down fine, can put several thous-
and words on a card, and the cost is n
cent, but If he pastes printed slip con-
tanning a single word on the card, the
expense is six cents; one paid for the
card, and the other five collected from
the card receiver, vet il words are
printed OH the card itself il Is all right.
Ii person pastes printed slip on a
card, the size of postal card, and puts
the card and slip in an open envelope,
the government will carry card, slip
and envelope for cent, yet il charges
six cents for carrying postal card and
slip, without the envelope Therefore,
if you have occasion TO paste printed
paragraph OH postal card, put ii in an
envelope and the additional weight
will be carried four cents cheaper than
the card alone goes. II looks ridicu-
lous TO carry Ave thousand or more
words In an envelope for cent and
then charge six cents for CARRYING half
a dozen words on card without the
envelope.
