Vermont Farms.

Next came Mr.. +. M. Fishers, Cabot. He

the Devon cattle are preferred, with a slight

also about sixty Merino sheep, and keeps
bees and treats his friends with honey. He
has adopted system of deep setting for
milk in box or vat through which cool
spring water runs. 1t occupies but little
room and the butter is excellent, only it re-

agriculture of the state, from which 1t would
have with difficulty recovered. But in Col
onel Mead we have man of the highest
purpose, of splendid personal vigor and
mental energy, wholly devoted to the cause
of progressive agriculture, and working like
a "whole team" to prevent the tagging or
failure of the movement which he feels, in
common with so many others, to be vital in
behalf of our greatest industry, and most
important TO the whole state. If the state
of Vermont is to continue to prosper and
maintain her position in the van of progress,
it must be by the development of her agri-
cultural resources. No means at once so
cheap and so effective as the spread Of
knowledge through these agricultural meet
ings, inaugurated by our Board of Agri-
culture, has ever been known. The people
see it. They are convinced that they are
worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to
us every year, in the increasing and improv-
ing products of their industry. And they
will not suffer them to be abolished.

AprOpOs OF DaIrymaids.

We copy the following from the Rural
New Yorker: go Rural, Jr.,' who writes many
sensible things in the weekly Chicago 7'rib-
une, and who frequently quotes approvingly
from the Rural NeD Yorker, objects to some
of our recent remarks as to dairymaids He
says We are on the side of the girls. We
do not believe it is woman's business to
milk the cows. Woman is entirely out of
place in the barn.yard, and she should not
be called on to go there, except in cases of
great necessity. We frequently read of ac-
cidents to women while engaged in milking
in fact, we are personally acquainted with
several worthy ladies who have been either
seriously injured or rendered cripples for
life by being kicked or gored while milk
ing Let us say that Rural, Jr, is altogether
wrong here, as may very easily be shown. If
it is not woman's business to milk cows be-
cause she is entirely out of place in barn
yard, then let her not go into the barn-yard
at all. The yard is no place to milk cows
in, and the man who will permit woman
to hunt COW around filthy yard, carrying
her milk pail and vainly calling so bossy +
is not the farmer we have reference to, nor
is that woman the one we think of as our
dairymad. The fact is, when everything
is well arranged about the stable, when it
is sweet and clean when the cows are clean
end are comfortably secured in their stalls,
then girl may very aptly go in and do
her share of the milking, without offense,
and, after washing her hands and dofiing her
apron, may take her morning music lessons
or help her mother in household duties.
Then the talk about filthy yards, kicking
and goring, etc, etc., is all out of place, be-
cause there would be no such things to fear.
Indeed, we pity the farmers wives and
daughters who have to submit to the filthy
surroundings of many cow-stables, and who
daily run the risks of injury from cows that
have been rendered vicious by bad manage
ment. First make the yard and stable fit
for a woman's presence, and them as every
where else, her association with these will
animate and purify all the surroundings di-
rectly and indirectly, and altogether reform
most of the evils and all of the denominations
OF the average dairy farm. 1t is a gross
charge AGAINST the business of dairying that
it is managed in such way that woman
is out of place in any part of it. That this
is held to be true by some, must be taken
as confession that all the evil spoken Of
| it is based on facts We do not admit this,
and therefore do not admit the corollary
which might accompany it. We will ex-
plain our opinion on this matter by saying
that while we believe woman may do
good and proper service in a decently man
aged dairy, yet that she is thoroughly justi-
fled in refusing to have anything to do with
one that is managed in such way that de-
cency is outraged and personal safety is
risked every day."

Bad Examples.

An orphan boy named George applied for
a situation in store. The merchant liked
his looks and was on the point of engaging
him, when he saw cigar sticking out of his
coat pocket. Then he said, "You won't do
for me, my lad. don't want boy that
smokes" George had some companions who
had learned to smoke, and he was following
their bad example. lie was greatly dis
tressed at the thought of losing the place he
wanted to get. lie went to his room, threw
himself on his bed and burst into tears. lie
remembered the words of his dying mother
how she had warned him not TO follow the
example of bad boys. Then he kneeled
down and confessed his sin to God. lie
asked God to forgive him and give him
grace TO do better. After this he went right
back 10 the merchant and told him about
his mothers counsel; how sorry he was that
he had forgotten it how he had asked God
to forgive him aud help him to do better,
and how he had made up his mind to try
and do so. "And now, sir" said the boy,
with tears in his eyes, " all ask is that you
toN just Try me-" He did try him, and never
had canse to regret it.

The Montreal Horticultural SOciety's
Report for 1877.

Owing to changes by which the society
has added to its title and Fruit Growers
Association of the Province of Quebec"
and has come under the patronage of the
provincial government, this report has been
much delayed, but its high excellence atones
for all delay. We know of no one hundred
and twenty-five pages, nor twice that num-
Der, that embodies so much and such thor
oughly useful information to fruit-growers
in the Cold North as the report before
us. This, with the two previous reports,
1875 and 1876 constitute really the first and
only compendium of fruit knowledge worth
anything to the orchardists and gardeners
living near the forty-ffth parallel on the
Atlantic slope. Any such person cannot
anywhere invest the money to one-tenth the
advantage as to send one dollar to Henry s
Evans Secretary, Montreal, for these three
reports. They contain the nub, the pith
the kernel, of all successful frutgrowinl
in these regions.

The work-day week has cast Its yoke
OF troublous toll and careful queeti
The lingering twilight's saffron cloak
Trails DER the dnsky vest
And curfew-ciocks, with measured stroke,
Chime in the eve Of rest.
From failow fields and woody dells
The crickets chirp their pleasant lays;
The kline comes mp with tinking bells,
Through all the loamy ways,
And buckets drip by busy wells,
And ruddy ingles blaze.
Ills whirling wheel the miller stops
The smith his silent anvil leaves;
His ringing axe the Joiner drops,
No more the weaver weaves;
His loaded vain the peddlar props
Beneath the tavern caves.
A happy hush, a tranquil balm,
As 10 the weekday work and care
Were lifted of and left us calm,
Pervades the quiet air.
A sense as OF a silent psalm,
A feeling as of prayer.
For now the night, with soft delay,
Seems brooding like tender dove,
While the last hours OF Saturday
Shuts In the homes Of love,
And the sweet Sabbath spans the way
To holier homes above.
God help us all since here below
Few Saturdays are ours at best
And out of earthly pain and woe
Few days Of Sabbath rest.
God teach usi--that we yet may know
The sabbaths of the blest. Selected

The chill November day was done,

The wind came roaring through the streets

And shiverng on the corner stood

No cloak or hat her small, soft arms
And wind-blown curls to cover.
Her dimplcd face was stained with tears;

A bunch Of faded clover.
And one hand round her treasure, while

Where could we look for compensation for
the loss? Could We get within the lines of
the proposed new territory the splendid val.
ley Of tue Yellowstone, that would be a
measurable compensation ; but as Montana
and Wyoming would stand a unit again.t
extending the lines that far north and west,
We could not do SO. Our farming. resources
would be limited to the arabic tracts in and
