Mr.. BILLINGS letter seems to have in
tensified and developed the sentiment in
favor of his nomination, rather than to
have discouraged it. If the people want
Mr.. Billings for governor, let them say so
and let them not refrain from saying SO
by reason of anything that has happened,
or that has been said, or may be said, by
interested politicians.

Vermont Dairymen's Association.

The annual meeting OF this association was
| held at st. Johnsbury last week Wednesday
and Thursday. The sessions were largely at
| tended by the farmers and dairymen of the
state and by noted breeders and importers of
cattle from abroad, and the gathering was one
of the most successful of the kind ever held in
Vermont. Among those present from abroad
we noticed A. w. Cheever, Esq editor of the
Ne,o England Farmer; + Burnett, ESD of
Southboro, Mass. G. B Williams of Waipole,
N. IL c. b. Wolcott of Dedham, Mass L. p.
Smith OF New York, and the Messrs Batcheder
of Stanstead, p q. Professor A. ii. Sabin OF
Burlington was unable to be present on account
of the illness of his son.
WEDNESDAY FORENOON.
The meeting was called to order by Hon.
John b. Mead, president of the association,
who made brief remarks, speaking in high
terms Of Caledonia county as dairy section
He gave general review of the new methods
adopted by the farmers, referring particularly
to silos. Ersilage, though perhaps not of great
intrinsic value was desirable, as it helped to
give the animals a variety OF food. The more
varieties Of feed COW could have, the more
and the better butter she would make English
dairymen fed their cows six or more different
varieties per day. NJ w. Davis of the State
Board OF Agriculture was next called on, and
spoke on Butter-makng. He considered it
the best and most profitable business for YER
mont farmers to engage in at the present time.
He thought that grade cows as a general
thing, were better than pure-bloods for butter
making. few years ago one hundred and
twenty-five pounds of butter annually from a
cow was considered a good average, but he
could now name thirty diaries in the state that
made an average of three hundred pounds to
the cow. Secretary Tinkham then took the
stand to talk about " Ensiage." He said that
he knew nothing about it; had been to Boston
and interviewed several prominent butter
buyers to learn, II possible whether good but
ter could be made from cows fed on ensllsge
or not While some dealers claimed that the
butter was not saleable, others did not see any
difference. Mr. Simonds of Roxbury stated
that he had slo and fed ensilage to his cows
He thought that his butter was just as good as
1t ever was, and said it brought just as much
in market. lie always gets the highest price

The reason for the action of the general pas
senger agents at Chicago, Wednesday, was that
the Lake Erie g. Western, in connection with
the Alton via Bloomington, has commenced TO
sell west bound tickets from Ohio Indiana aud
Illinois points based on S. rate from Chicago
to the Missouri river. This cut seriously into
the business CT the Baltimore & Ohio, Lake
Shore Fort Wayne Panhandle, and Indiana,
Bloomington & Western, and hence the call for
the meeting. 1t was finally decided to make
rates to Missouri river points via Chicago, Peo
ria and st. Louis, based upon s. rate from
Chicago. In accordance Herewith the following
resolution was adopted
Resolved, That the rates, first and second class,
single trip, from all points IN the territory repre-
scented by those present today to all Missouri river
points be fixed 50 than the regular rate to
Chicago and for roundrip, basing rates double the
second class rate made, except that, for 6tsng
rates from Cincinnati and Louisville the differ
ences which exist between rates from these
points and indianapolis rates should be preserved"
These tickets are to be closely limited to
twenty four hours above schedule time, and the
rate went into effect yesterday Further com
plications are feared

The Wabash in a Hole.

A short time ago the receivers of the Wabash
filed petition in the United States Circuit
Court asking leave to pay the accrued interest
on the frst-mortgage bonds on the Havana,
Champaign & Western line. The master in
chancery favored the petition. When the at
torney for the receivers moved that the prayer
be granted Judge tn 1T asked if the division
was self-sustaining up to the time Of the ap-
pointnent of the receivers, aud being answered
in the negative was about to refuse to confirm
the report, when the receivers attorney asked
for more time to show that now, since the
harvests were ripe, the road would be self-sus-
tanning Should Judge Treat refuse to confirm
the report the Havana division will be taken
from the Wabash system under the mortgage
executed upon it. The receivers will then be
compelled to take the earnings of the other
branches to pay the rents which will be asked
for the indispensable twelve miles of rail on the
line between st. Louis and Chicago There is
perhaps in the present state OF the roads affairs
nothing that could happen to the Wabash which
would result in SO much damage as the with
drawal of the Havana division.
Another report was filed by the receivers,
showing that they had issued s., 03G, Sc in
scrip to protect promissory notes of the road
signed by Jay Gould and Sidney Dillon.

New York, Oct. 1G-Oflicers of the Baltimore
& Ohio and West Shore railroads to-day re-
eeived orders to sell tickets to Chicago at $4 for
second, and SIG for frst-class fares Rates to
other points are: To ST. Louis, $40 and SIG 80;
to Detroit, $l3 and $12. eve have made this
reduction in rates. said one of the railroad of
fcials, ''to protect ourselves l, myself, in a
regular Office of a road which will not name,
bought ticket to Chicago for SIS. We do not
intend to be beaten in this matter.' Brokers
have made no change in rates. Representatives.
of the Erie, Delaware, Lackawanna 81 Western
and other roads said the cut probably would be
met by their roads in a few days.
A feature of the rates between the
pool lines is shown to-day by the announcement
of the West Shore road that passenger fares to
all points over that line are reduced to one cent
per mile. This is practically cut of so per cent
upon the pool rate to Chicago, and is regarded
as only a step in forcing the fight on the part
of the Vanderbilt confederacy.
