Col Mead said he did not so apply them.
T. Wheeler asked if ashes were any adj

master and loan would be better. Mr..

land he firmly believed she might have
taken the first prize if she had shown her
/ butter. lie next described the pyramid
of cheese, in all about ten tons and Of
about forty varieties from all portions Of
the world. lie spoke of the opportunities
( there for acquiring some knowledge, and
he learned there what he had suspected
/ before, that there was IA good deal of poor
butter made AMI good deal made in
/ Vermont. and he did not believe it paid to
make poor butter or poor cheese or poor
anything.
lie next made some calculation of the
profits which would result from increasing
the produce from all the cows in Vermont
One-quarter. and then the increased profit
which would come from improving the
quality. In reply he said he did not think
there was an extensive demand for butter
at seventy-iivc cents 10 one dollar per
pound, but there was demand for butter
ut twenty-five TO thirty-five cents per
pound, and there was lots and lots OF
butter, and from Vermont too, which was
sold in Boston for soap grease at eight
conts and less per pound, and he did not
believe it cost any more to make Il good
article thln TO make a poor one, and
sometimes he thought not SO much. lie
spoke of the class of farmers who did Il
good share of their farming at the corner
grocery, and it was such farmers rs those
who complain most severely OF hard
times, He made an earnest appeal to the
young to keep clear of such places where
eXtravagant habits were engendered, II
not those of positive injury and great
danger. He spoke of the fancy farming
and thought the kind of farming which
was carried on without regard to cost had
IN injurious influence on young farmers,
and that which was carried on on strict
business principles was best. He did not
believe much in the profit of buying COM
mercial fertilizers. lie believed Il mau
with horse and cart could gather and
make more manure in two weeks than
could be bought for one hundred dollars,
He next gave some account of how he
treated his pasture, by carefully spreading
and pulverizing in spring all heaps OF
droppings left by the cattle the season
before, and when any spots begin to show
the barn yard. He pastures his cattle
there night and day. His pasture is so
located that it may be plowed. He gets
sods and dirt from the sides of the road
and uses them for absorbent and gets a
good pile of good manure. He spoke of
the benefit OF keeping farm accounts, as
tending to make one careful of his eX-
penses and outlay. He spoke of our in
creasing markets abroad, and he looked |
forward with bright expectations to the
future, when we had come back to former
principles of economy and industry. Mr..
Robinson asked how our pastures could be |
renovated where they could not be plowed
Mr. Mason said by stocking it more than
it would keep and giving the stock extra
feeding at the barn nights.
Mr. I. Wheeler read the following
paper on

The farmers meeting mt Water bury
Center met in Grange Hall in the Green
Mountain Seminary on the afternoon of
Friday the 3lst instant. \ sharp snow
squall delayed the meeting little, but Mt
> o'clock the hull was well filled. The
meeting was called to order by the super
etendcnt; 0. W. May was chosen chair
man, and John Parker, Daniel Hopkins
and Frank Burt were chosen committee
on programme. After briefly outlining
the work, Col. Mead made some remarks
on agricultural! chemistry and of feeding
of plants, illustrated by plates of plants
grown in water and sand where some of
the ingredients of fertilization were lack
ing. Mr.. j. b. Parker said that from his
experience he thought farmers lost great
part of their manure by lack of absorb
cnts, and especially so in keeping pics
where the milk from the dairy is fed to
them, and which is rich in the elements
of fertility taken from the hilsidcs, and
allowed 20 go TO waste from lack of ab.
sorbent and covering the manure. At the
close of the session the band favored the
meeting with II piece of music finely per-
formed.
THE EVENING SESSION
was opened by prayer offered by Rev. Mr..
Shcrburn, after which was music by the
band.
President Mason Of the Vermont Dairy.
mems Association next addressed the
meeting, first giving some account of the
international dairy fair at New York He
was one of the judges of the New England
products. and he must say he was ashamed
of her exhibit. Almost any grocery store
in the state where butter and cheese are
sold could have made us good show as
New England made there.
Vermont was classed with the other
New England states, and had one sample
of cheese but not one sample of butter,
