Ont West.


To our readers we this week send
greeting from Tout west" and indite
our weekly contribution from beyond the
Mississippi.
Iowa is perhaps one of the best known
of the western dairy states, all OF them
wonders in the way Of progress, enter
prise, growth and energy.
Here we find much of New England
origin transplanted to most favorable soil,
and what else should VIC expect but
remarkable growth9 Yet we would not
exchange our New England home for one
in the great rich garden-land of the west.
We fancy we should miss 50 much to
hich SO many are insensible who live IN
Vermont and are unfamiliar with other
scenes.
Such boundless level tracts rs we see IN
passing through Ohio, Indiana and Illinois
are rich and easily worked; but 1t seems
to US that tho sun rising over the same
distant level horizon, and setting over the
same sea.like distance; the vision always
bounded by the same low monotonou'
view, rs though one dwelt in the centre o
u vast dinner plate, must be dreadfullJ
tiresome, and have q dwalting effect on
the soul We know we should miss tht
ecstatic thrill, the mental uplifting which
the everlasting hills give us, the grea
example and moving power of "eXcel
sior.' A physical height to scale,
mountain standing at once sentinel ant
an example must stimulate to mentn
effort and mental growth.
One standing in cloudland, almost, ant
seeing spread out before HIM in such vas
and exquisite panorama hill and valley
wood and cultivated field, sparklln
stream and glossy pond, and here an
there bright pleasant homes dotting tn
landscape, and through all the pure clea
air, and over all the sky which ems S
near, must feel an expanding, elevatin
influence, desire TO be to do somethin
TO draw them onward and upward t
noblor and better things. 1t seems to Il
that the dwelers on plains cannot hay
the same emotions as those in IL hill couI
try; that sameness and monotony
surrounding must produce poverty I
soul; the lack of mental stimulus fro
natural physical grandeur must result in
corresponding lack af mental growth,
least in the direction OF nature.
No. no west for our abiding place. Civ

Last week, for the tir.t time since We
became The conductor of this depart menr,
We wrote no words for the FIREMAN On
the road constantly, and with no opponu'
nifty for writing, we sent only selections.
Perhaps, after all, it might have been like
the minister, who when the wind blew
his sermon out of the window said:
have lost my sermon, but will read Won
q chapter from job worth two of it," SO
the space usually taken by original matter
may nave been much better occupied by
selections, for we claim to I75oV y good
thing when we see it, Atnny rate, the
chances are that the like may not occur
again very soon-and one vacation is no.

Col. N. T. Sprague Of Brandon, VT, is
one of the GCent converts to the new sys-
TEN of feeding cattle upon fodder corn
cured in silos. At the recent meeting OF
the Vermont ,lairymen's association. dur
ing a private conversation. he made the
following statement concerning the silo
experiments which are being carried on
upon one Of his Vermont dairy farms al
the present time. His silo was butt the

WEDNESDAY EVENING.

A very large audience having assembled
at 7 80, after a selection from the choir,
who added much to the interest of the ex
erclses during the evening sessions, DR.
Cutting first answered several questions
handed in to him, and then proceeded
with the subject proper "How we may have
healthy families in our homes" This all
dress was OF the greatest Importance to all,
relating as it did to the regulation OF our
houses and their surrounding conditions.
Many point of a sanitary character were
particularly mentioned and remedies sug-
gested for these imperfect conditions, OF Il
practical nature Listening to this address
no one should fail to perceive where these
| imperfectons exist, on their own premises,
and the needed remedy lffarmers indeed
are more careless in these respects than
those OF other occupations, as the doctor
said that statistics fully show, it is time
they knew the truth and institute an i'm
mediate reform After very fully treating
this point of his subject. the doctor next
proceeded to speak of some of the existing
deliberations in spices, groceries. etc.
These are very extensive indeed, and en-
brace great variety OF articles, as pepper,
ginger, cream of tartar, sugar. molasses,
flour, white lead, etc. One great cause
for these authorizations is the desire Of con-
sumers to obtain a good article at less
price than can be afforded. II any of these
articles are offered at less than the market
price, all may rest assur that they are
not pure. Sometimes these authorizations
may be of harmless character, while
others are of an extremely injurious char
acter.
The doctor advised all to purchase onl,
the pure articles Always he willing tt
pay the regular market price us these are
really cheaper at the prices asked than thu
adultersl ions, besides being free from sui
stances often deleterious. BY proper pre-
cautions these pure ar ices can be obtainr'
rs dealers are supposed to understand th'
difference between the two, and is not Il
likely to be deceived as the consumer
themselves. One third of the sugar use,
, in this country is said to be glucose o
/ grape sugar. syrup is also largely adulter
ated with this product. Coffee berries ar
made entirely of glucose, colored witt
t Brandon brown and Paris green. Whit
lead is more or less adulterated wit
baryta. and often pure baryta is sold a

After some discussion the meeting ad-
iourned until afternoon.
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.
Hon. Henry Lane Of Cornwall occupied
the first part of the session in lecture on
Economy of feeding" As an abrtrHct OF
this address has been previously given IN
in the Messenger, in the report OF the
Swanton meeting In November, 1t will not
be repeated here.
II. A. Cutting made remarks about sllos.
He first showed the great advantage OF
straw and corn fodder when used win
cotton seed meal and that this was not well
understood by the farmer, but that much
il not oil the advantage of the silo was thus
gained, vel he would advise the building
| of the silo as soon as we could make sure
that our profits could be increased thereby
| 1t is true that most men that have built
silos have been successful in feeding there
from, vet the occasional failures should
put US on our guard and the extraordinary
success of some ensilage should be needed,
and we should be able to keep ensilage
well, as well as Mr. GOffart does before
we rely entirely upon it. Should. in my
opinion. feed at least ten pounds of hay
and two quarts of cotton seed meal to each
COW daily. beside the ensilage.
0. s. Bliss of Georgia made some re-
marks upon the dairy. The part season
he went to Iowa to examine into the cream
gathering factories of that state. He ably
described the cream gathering method and
thinks it may be that some sections OF Yer
mont may be benefited thereby. The quo
tation in our markets for creamery buttel
is always the highest that any tub the
can be sold while the quotation Of n,
butter is nearer the average sales. IN,
, reason for this is that the western cre"
cries are owned by Boston dealers, AM
hence the quotations are doctored. Ii
Massachusetts they have q good report q
