1t is most gratifying fact to record
that the strong and decided express
sions from the majority of visitors thus
far this season are that Island Pond is
one of the most beautiful and desirable
resorts in New England in which to
spend the summer vacation, and these
expressions are more frequent and de.
cided than ever. The Stewart House
also comes in for a considerable share
of praiseI and we'll it may. for we
doubt if there is better kept or neat
err hotel in the State. While these ex-
pressions are pleasing, yet. we regret
to add, that fault is found that the
citizens make no efforts to encourage
visitors TO come here, nor entertain
those who do come. There certainly
is some truth in this latter statement,
and much might be done. 1t is too
late to attempt anything this season,
but our village can be made more at
tractive to visitors and we will en-
deayor to show how in the near future

The following is an estimate OF the
hay crop of 1885, by counties:


There is but little old hay on hand
among the farmers or in the market.
The supply of old hay is considerably
less than at this time last year. The
winter was an unusually severe one
and cattle were not turned out to pas
ture as early as usual. Buyers for the
city markets are paying on an average
$12 per ton for old hay. Pasture lands
throughout the State show the effect
of the drouth. In most counties the
pastures are burned to a brown color.
Butter and cheese have not been
sold in the market at such low prices
for many years as now. The ruling
price at the leading markets in the
State July for the finest creamery or
choice dairy butter was from 16 to IS
cents per pound. Good butter re-
tailed for from - to 10 cents pound.
Vermont annually produces about
25 ,000,0 900 pounds of butter and 1900.
900 pounds of cheese. The prospect is
that with short hay crop and poor
pasturage the price of butter will ap
probably advance in the market.

until harvest time. Unless there is a
pleuteous rainfall and much hot
weather, the prospect, it is safe to as
sumo, is not encouraging for large
crops. With the most favorable
weather there will not be an average
corp of the leading products of the soil.
The white daisy is proving very det-
rimental to meadows and grass lands
throughout the State. This noxious
weed has spread very rapidly within
few years, and its growth has been so
great this season that in some sections
the farms are literally white with the
daisy blossoms. The grasshopper and
his mischievous companion, the white
grub, are devastating the meadows
and pastures in several sections of the
State. These fell destroyers are most
numerous in Central Vermont, and
many farms have been overrun by
them. The drouth has been the most
severe in the counties of Windham,
| Windsor, Orange, Caledonia, Essex,
Orleans and Addison. The counties
of Franklin, Grand Isle, Washington,
Lam0ile, Chittenden, Rutland and
Bennington have not been so seriously
affected. Up to the present time but
little grass has been cut, and the only
estimate that can be made up at this
time regarding the hay crop must
consequently be based on observation
and examination of the standing grass
in meadows and fields. The reports
from the various counties are so SINH
lar in character that they may be
summarized in a general statement, a.
made above.

hay crop of 1885, by counties:

er's mare after the affair with the
witches, and it seemed doubtful if it
could be got around the track. But
appearances still continue to be de-
ceitful and the skeleton won the money
and the race, after which its owner
gave it to the man who drove it.

We have been presented with a
photograph of the members of the g.
A. r. Post in our town, taken in camp
at the grand reunion at Portland. 1t
is one of the most striking pictures we
have ever seen. The arrangement of
the scene is remarkable. There is not
a formal appearance about it except
the absolutely necessary arrangement
of the membe in order to have their
faces appear in the representation.
The pipe, the banner, the unrestrained
and easy natural position of the mem-
bers arranged so tremendously with
the position Of the tents, and especially
the expression of annoyance at the
bright sunlight on the faces of "the
boys" and the characteristic attitude
of the one who had not had time to
completely don his toilet, all render it
a memento that it would be pleasant
to have put in more extended space
so that the children could look upon
the picture on the wall and point with
pride to the olden days in which theil
fathers lived and saved the land tC
them.

Reports received from all parts of
the State concerning the hay crop for
the present year are to the effect that
the aggregate yield will be less than in
any season for decade. The average
hay crop since 1875 has been 100000
tons annually in round numbers, but
this year the yield will not exceed
$4,000 tons. This is about 100000
tons less than the product of last sea-
son, which was not year of average
fruitfulness. The lightness of the hay
crop is accounted for by grass being
winter killed, by the drouth that has
prevailed since the first part of June
and through destruction wrought by
grubs and grasshoppers. These
causes have operated to blight and in
jure the meadows and hay fields,
which gave promise in early summer
of producing large crops of hay. The
growth of grass on low meadows and
intervales during the first days of the
season was quite heavy and luxuriant.
But for the three weeks preceding
July little or no rain fell and the
long continued drouth stunted the
growth of grass and badly burned
quite q percentage of the growing
crop. The severe drouth was broken
some days ago, since which time
heavy rains have fallen throughout
the State. These showers, however,
came too late to benefit the grass to
any great extent. The grass on low
lands and clay bottom lands and
newly-seeded pieces was somewhat
benefited, but uplands and old mead
ows were not improved.
There has been deficiency of heal
since June first for the growth and de
velopment of crops. The planting
season was somewhat later than usual
and the atmospheric conditions IL
May were not conducive to the earl!
starting of pasture feed or grass. The
month of June was cool as we'll %
dry, and the mean temperature TO
many days was much lower than TO
the corresponding period last year
, Wheat, corn, barley, oats, potatoe
and other products of the field an'
farm have consequently suffered

condition. No reliable estimate cal
