Mr.. Forster has just taken little run
into Ireland to see for himself the state of
things. Tho Herald's cable says: "Mr.
Forster paid personal visits of coincidence
to the bedside of Constable Wills, who
drove the car when Mr.. MILFORD Lloyd
was shot at, and to the tenant Moroney.
Both lie at the point of death. He also
visited the house of Colonel O'Callaghan,
boycotted landlord. The windows were
barricaded. The house was garrisened.
The soldiers were completely prepared to
resist an attack. On Mr.. Forster's return
return from Athenry crowd at Gort
station heartily hooted the secretary and
groaned for his coercion policy. With
this exception the demeanor of the inhab-
itants Of the hottest corner of Ireland was
one of curiosity mingled, perhaps, with
some surprise at his venturing into the
lions den. AS to the diminution of out
RACES and the pacification of Glare as the
results of Mr.. Forster's tour there may be
some doubt. AS to his energy and person.
al courage there can be none whatever.

nnnInelIer Town Meeting.

The names Of the officers chosen at the
annual March meeting are given else.
where. A caucus was held Monday even
ming in Capital Hall in response to a call
signed by about thirty citizens. There
was a large attendance at the caucus and
the ticket nominated was elected through
out by the voting Tuesday.
There was ballot on three offices; for
second selectman w. c. Walker, the eau
Gus nominee, received 1863 and C. NJ. Hale
Of; for overseer E. NJ. Irish had 269 and
George S. Hubbard IS; and for first street
commissioner ]. W. Ellis had 1888 and H.
S. Smith 1l3. The only other balloting
was that for county commissioner for
which office James H.Holden had 68 votes.
George w. Wing was unanimously
elected first lister but declined to serve.
Ho was at once excused as all knew he
meant what he said and he gavo good
reasons why the arduous duties of tho
office should not be again imposed on him
Mr.. Wing briefly and pointedly set forth
what had been the aim of the last board Of
listers and denied such part of the loose
charges against them as had come TO his
cars. All would have been glad could Mr..
Wing have found it compatible with his
business to have taken the office TO which
no was chosen without dissenting voice,
for another year.
The usual abatement of poll taxes oil
firemen and militiamen was made; the
treasurer was authorized 10 borrow moi
to exceed $4,000 TO meet any demand:
and the matter of voting taxes was left fol
the adjourned meeting which will be held
May 10th when it will be better known
what the grand list will be, A good order
was made in regard to future warnings
directing that the articles calling for &C
ton on the reports of town officers be in
serted after the articles providing for the
election of moderator and town clerk; SC
that the reports will be discussed before
the offices are filed. AS the warnings have
always before been made this discussion
comes after the election, so that often tho
voters first act and then get full informa
tion and explanation which if had first
might have made their action different.

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

On assembling Prof. A. II. Sabin, of
Burlington, delivered an interesting lee
ture on FERTILIZERS. 1t is not known
how large an amount of commercial fer
tlizers are annually sold In Vermont, but
it is quite large and constantly increasing.
He has analysed large number of the
principal fertilizers sold in tho state, but
generally their valve was not found equal
to the claim made for the same by the
manufacturers. There being no law in
Vermont for protection in the sale of fer.
tilizers it is evident many inferior brands
are disposed of here, although perhaps not
to the extent of n few years since. Such
n law should be enacted for our own pro-
lection and farmers should interest them
selves in this direction, as it is q matter
that concerns themselves so materially.
The analyses show great diversity In
value, ranging from about Sl4 to $i8 per
ton. AS rule, there Is more difference in
the lower priced fertilizers than in the
higher ones. The value of these fertilizers
can be determined by analyses, but this
would he too expensive for individuals
and should be undertaken by the state.
In New Hampshire dealers outside of the
state have to pay u license for selling and
this goes to pay for analysis of fertilizers,
hence farmers may know with reasonable
what kinds to purchase. A similar
course should be pursued in Vermont.
lie would not advise the analysesof soils,

L. b. Hubbard consented to mako n few
remarks on the creamery system Of butter
making in the west. In certain parts of
the west where wheat raising had been
formerly practiced, attention is now given
to dairying. Ten years ago butter in
Iowa was of very ordinary character, and
commanded only about ten cents per
pound. Some experiments in milk setting
have resulted in great improvements in
this direction. There are two systems
practced-tho creamery and the creamery
gathering. At the creamery, butter is
made instead of cheese, as in many factor
