The chairman fittingly introduced c, Horace
Hubbard, of Springfield, who spoke ON Corn
Raising in Vermont" lie had labored under dis
advantages ON his farm but has tried his best TO
raise good stock etc. lie favors mixed farming,
but is something OF a specialist. He would give
special attention 10 the details OF every crop. Ii
requires no higher degree of culture than it does
to carry on other business. There has been u
serious decline In corn raising in Vermont during
the last twenty years. The corn purchased in
Vermont is estimated at three million bushels; ;
thought it was less than that but still it is very
large-larger than 1t ought to be- Thought the
crop Ia 1876 was but little more than million
bushels. This is a mistake 1t is disastrous both
financially and socially to follow farming in that
way. This Is the result Of period of expansion.
We must get out of that condition. No state can
raise corn at greater profit than this Green Noun
tain state We haven't the money 10 buy corn.

history of Vermont Merinoes is to be published in
this branch of agriculture. Thep paper was closely
listened to and heartily applauded

Thnr.day Af,ernoon,s session.


The meeting was called 10 order by Hon. Il, ID.
Mason, President Of the Vermont Dairymen's As
socation who introduced Colonel T. S. Stowell,
of Cornwall, who read a paper upon
MENTAL GROWTH roR FARMERs.
Colonel Stowe thought that the mental and
moral growth OF the farmer was one of the most
important subjects of the time In this view the
work of the Board was most essential, and he
urged all to encourage its aims We must either
advance in knowledge or recede. Weare growing
old all the time, aud II we improve every waking
moment we shall not be liable To know too much
The better plan Ia to learn one branch OF agricu-
ture, learn 1t thoroughly, and stick to it, The
tendency of all farming Is To engage entirely In
any branch which happened to pay the previous
year. This practice tends to the lowering OF
prices and destruction Of profits, The Morgan
horse crossed by the Clay OF liambletonian makes
the best horse In the world the Morgan stock be-
ing the best to build upon when crossed by the

The meeting was called to order by Major Ora
Paul. OF Pomfret. First on the programme came
a paper on Better Culture" by j. o. Adams, of
Manchester, n. H., Secretary of the New Hamp-
shire Board of Agriculture. The speaker said he
had for years labored in the interest of the far
mer by tongue and pen. Farmer boys now do
not help as they did in former times when twelve
hours were days work Ten hours only are
given; he thought that was enough IL the time
well occupied lie spoke oil the wearing out
of the farmers wives, and the lack of doing on
the part of farmers daughters. Some farmers
are making profit in spite of sons absence and
daughters extravaganza. How is this done? By
being industrious, frugal, thoughtful, and attend
ing to business. Be up and doing; do not sit by
the fire, at the store tavern. II you take recre
alton, take your wife. BE frugal without parsi-
mony. In all your work be thoughtful; study
more and toll less The Creator never meant that
we should till the rugged hills OF our Northern
states, but draw what we need from other more
favored localities, and pay in the products of our
water power the wood, iron, wool, etc. New
England must more fully unite its agriculture and
its manufactures. The poor rugged land should
not be vexed by the plow, but left to grow up to
wood which will be Of value to coming genera
tions; leave cultivation to the valleys and river
bottoms Draining will render worthless lands
valuable Seek for improved stock In short, be
| a good farmer Vermont might raise wheat or
| fruit or the product for which it has now an en-
| yiable reputation-gi butter.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Adams paper Mrs l.,
B. Boyce of Fayston, read poem ON " Farmers
| Trials" This was an able production, and was
warmly applauded Want of space forbds our
| publishing it,
| Next came Hon. j. B. Walker, of Concord, n
| H., who spoke on "reminiscences of English
Farming" lie said he was once sent to Man
| chester, as a boy, to learn something; he had
learned two thngs-to love maple sugar and the
| good people of Vermont; and he proposed to cling
to these to the last lie spoke of a farmers vaca
ton, and the comparative shortness of Il trip u
