The Presidents Remarks.
Gentlemen: The attendance at this, the
opening session of our fourteenth annual
meeting, is not large, but there is promise OF
a great increase of numbers during the ses.
sions which are to follow, The work of the
association in Vermont confirms the belief
that the founders of it buldcd wiser than
they knew. am well assured that, since its
origin fourteen years ago, this association
has done an incalculable amount of good 10
the material prosperity of Vermont. And ii
has not been alone in its work. Associations
of the same kind in other States have
joined with 1t in advancing their com
mon interests by the presence in
It's meetings of representative men

| am happy to announce, we Ihave here with
US at this time. | think | may safely say,
although have not seen the tabulated cen
sus of lSS0-still from conversing withgOod
judges in the matter, think may say, that
since the advent of this association the aver
age number of pounds of butter yearly pro-
duced has increased at least so pounds per
dairy and there are large number of dali
ries IN which the increase is very much larg-
cr-from $50 10 800 pounds. And not only
this, but all Interests subsidiary to dairy
Ing have been well considered by
the association and improvements lave
been made in them, There is the
great question of feeding. Ensllage
reports have not been few. But much is yet
to be learned upon this subject, and it will be
discussed at the present meeting. What we
want to arrive at is facts If 1t be true, us
some say, that the feed may be put into pits
and all expense covered at one dollar ton,
then the question of farming in Vermont is
solved for all the future. Other great ques-
tiOns will be brought before u.s. | congratu-
late you that the interest. in these departments
is all the while increasing. BY cheese and
butter improvement the interest OF every
farmer in Vermont is enhanced, so that our
work is nos only vast aud profitable but in-
tcrestpg and fruitful. There is much still to
be brought out that will be Of advantage to
us in our daily work The State of Vermont
has become settled in the CONVICTION that
something should be done TO encourage these
industries upon which her prosperity so
largely dcpcnds. We are moi done in ON
work, but every organization Of the kind in
the State combines with us and encourages
us.
