WE have never joined in with GER
tain editors and public speakers in try
ing to make people believe that it is an
easy matter to get high price for even
good butter. Consumers will buy as
cheap as they can. 1t is only after a
customer has been well served for a
considerable period that he will con-
sent to pay an extra price for familiar
dairy rather than lose it. If one will
make uniformly good article, one can
obtain a good price for it after it be-
comes known. 1t takes time to build
up good trade in anything. W.

EVERY new territory that is opened
and every branch of business that prom
ises grand results draws its share of the
adventurous sons of New England,
who eventually overdo the thing and
seek some other field. When the
country has all been 4" worked - in this
way, till there is nothing new to get up
an excitement (Which is not so far in
the future as it may seem), the more
lasting income from the soil of New
England will be appreciated and utilized.

success"
REPLY BY AGRICULTURAL EDITOR.
For northeastern Vermont { amoille,
Washington, Caledonia, Orleans and
Essex counties and the eastern part of
Franklin) the following list of fruits
has been found successful. The apples
are given according to their season, the
first named of each season being the
most desirable, all things considered,
though the others are good.
APPLES.
For August - Yellow Transparent,
Tetofsky.
For September Duchess of Olden-
burgh, Peach of Montreal (best for
eating), st. Peters, Prolific Sweeting,
Pringle Sweet Crab Qor cider).
For October-Golden White, st. Law
renee, Whitney's No. 20 Grab Qor eat
ing), Gideon's Martha Crab (for can
ning). Bailey's Crimson Crab is very
fine, where it does not spot.
For November and December-Fa-
meuse, Alexander Qor cooking), North
field Beauty Grab, st. Johnsbury Sweet
For December to March-Wealthy,
Mcintosh Red, Isham Sweet.
For later use-Scott's Winter, Ben
Davis, Tolman Sweet (where it sue
ceeds), Newport Winter Sweet equal
to Tolman, and hardier).
PLUMs.
Mooer's Arctic (blue), De Soto (red)
Blue and White Damsons. A number
of Russian plums have lately been in
troduced that promise to be valuable
for hardness, productiyeness and good
quality.
The old red pie cherries, or Early
and Late Kentish (the Early being gen.
orally known as Early Richmond, and
the Late as Common Red), are more OF
less successful. The trees are hardy,
but in many places, though they bloom
full, they rarely bear full crop. To
these may be added the May duke
which bears better with us, but is
short-lived. Lately there have been in.

AYERS
Cherry Pectoral.

No other complaints are so insidious in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs:
none so trifed with by the majority of suffer-
ers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting
perhaps from trifiing or unconscious ex-
posture, is often but the beginning of fatal
sickness. AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL has
well proven its efficacy in forty years fight
with throat and lung diseases, and should be
taken in all cases without delay.

The Annoyance of a Lecturer.

State Prison MIDDLE Settled.

After several meetings and conferences
with the Northwestern Ctr company, the
Inspectors of the state prison and Governor
Hubbard acting under the advice OF tie at
toruey general, on Friday the 18th decided
to take prompt action in the matter Of re-
building the portion OF the States property
destroyed BY the recent fire.
1t was decided to attempt no further com
promise with the company, but that the
state should act on its own account. 1t was
determined to replace that portion Of the
burned building which was built in accbrd-
snce with the terms of the contract. This
building is to be three stories high, and to
cover one-half of the site OF the former
building, or 66x $50 feet. The estimated
cost is from 81. LOCO to S25, OO0. This, the
inspectors assert will give anplo
room for working the convicts under the
contract. Bids Will be received until Jan.
81. The engine house, which belosgs to
the state, was also damaged, but the insur-
ance will cover the loAS. The entire loss Of
the state IL about $50, 600. The great ground
Of difficulty between the state and the car
company was that the latter em-
ployed between 700 and 500 citizen laborers
In its works within the prison walls, and de-
mAnd sufficient accommodation. The in.
specaors deny their right to this, and while
asserting their willingness to give space to

The Advantage of Dairy,ue.

1t is a proverb among farmers that
dairying enriches the land and the far
mer 90. We have heretofore shown
how it is that the production of milk
does not exhaust the soil, and how it
must necessarily continually improve it,
so long as the dairyman leeds some kind.
of purchased food to his cows, which all
do Or less. But although this may
be M result of this business. it is not
n that operates by itself without the
aid of the dairyman. Plums may fall
from a tree into q mans moth; but he
must take care to be there with his
mouth open when the plum falls, or it
drops without advantage to him. And
20 the dairyman shonld have the credit
for this result Of his business-frst. be
he has the good sense
to choose it; next; because
he generally manages it we'll; then be-
