every patron must carry his cream to the
factory, in which case the travel is the
:ame. lie well knows that this is not
necessary, nor is it practical in either
case.
Could the location of the patrons be
controlled, two men could easily take the
milk of 30 patrons to the factory and re-
turn the skinned milk at an eXpcndi-
tllre of half days time each day and six
miles travel each, but as they would or
dinarily be located it would require four
men One-fourth day and six miles travel
each. Such pcrversion of facts will not
have a tendency to help his case much.
Mr.. Dorsey makes the point that by
the cream-gathering plan each patron
gets pay according to the amount Of
cream furnished, thereby discriminating
in favor of dairies giving rich milk.
This is all right and as it should be, but
it is just as applicable to the separator
process. as each patrons milk can be sep
arated by itself and its value determined
by the yield of cream This is not nee
essary, as there is better way of arrv-
ing at practically the same result.
Mr.. Dorsey asks what | have to say
''to the long list of gold and silver med
ais and first premiums awarded the pro-
duct of the Cooley system" | have this
to say, that the thing has been persist
emily and unremittingly pushed for a
long term of years by the Vermont Farm
Machine Co. for all it is worth and has
achieved for it its full share of recogni-
ton; but Mr.. Dorsey may as well re-
member that this is emphatically an age
of progress; that things of excellence
today are discarded tomorrow to give
place to something of greater excellence.
That the separator process, as repre-
sented by the DeIaval and Danish Weston
machines. which are identical in their
results, has made great and think can
safely say unparalleled progress in pub
lie favor in the short space of time in
which they have been before the public,
in spite of the opposition and gross mis-
representations of persons interested in
other systems, no one can deny: and
in all my Investigations | fail to find the
Least particle of proof that the product OF
this system is not fully equal to the pro-
duct of any other system in every respect
Yours truly,

raise on his sand patch), and he will tell
you that even if your maturcd trees
escape killing by the frost (the chances
are heavy against them every year, it is
the most glaring case imaginable of the
game not being worth the candle for any
man to bury himself in Florida boghole
or sandbanl and endure ten years of
starvation, all outlay and no income, eN-
lie and malaria, only to find when your
trees do bear that an agriculturist who
raises but one product. and buys every
other needed article of food, is saving at
one little bung and losing in Il thousand
little spigots. In other words, that he
will find that onc-product farming doesn't
pay, especially in wretched country
where everybody as well as himself is
trying it on, and consequently where the
local supply is sure to be excessive and
prices unremunerative 1t is a fact that
many grove owners let their fruit rot on

''highlands''. All who read the papers
have heard of the highlands of Florida,
their healthfulness, etc. "The shrewd
land-sharll has discovered that there is Il
section of country about 200 miles long,
lying from five to fifty miles west of the
st. Johns river (parallel to that stream)
in which the sand has actually blown up
from ten to fifteen feet above the adjacent
swamps. And so he is concentrating all
his wind and energy upon this section.
But what amuses me in the current cry
of the land-shaiks is that delicious humor
which invests tcn-foot-high sand bank
with the idea of elevation conveyed by
the term highland. 1t is about as if a
man on the curb-stone should say to a
friend standing on the street proper
Come up here in the highlands, where it's

In concluding his letter the correspon-
dent says that the climate is "A humbug,

PROGRESS OF THE ADDISON COUNTY
HISTORY.

The publishers of the history of this
county, of which mention has heretofore
been made in these columns. are gratified
to announce that the work has now
reached such Il stage as to insure its is
sue sometime within the present year.
The most generous cooperation has been
secured on the part of local writers and
considerable material has already been
prepared. The history of this town is
nearly finished and has been revised by
competent persons, among whom are
Judge Lyman +. Knapp, Professor Brai-
nerd, Henry l.. Sheldon and others. The
chapter on the legal profession is nearly
finished, by the pen of Judge John ID.
Smith of Ncrgennes. who has also con-
sented TO undertake the writing of the
history of that city. 1t could scarcely
have been placed in better hands. Judge
VIM. S. Wright of Waltham will prepare
the history of his town and Edward =.
Dana of New Haven is engaged on SINH
lar work in that town. The Lincoln his
tory is being written by NJ. b. Cove, Esq,
and III. G. Munsill of Bristol has placed
in the editors hands the valuable manu-
scripts left by his father. Other towns
are in Il similar state of progress. while
various chapters on specific subjects are
nearing completion. 1t seems that there
is good reason to expect that we shall
eventually have work which will be a
credit to the county and one which the
subscribers will be glad to welcome.

OBITUARY..


seldom are we called upon to record the
closing of so beautiful Il life rs that of 4. May
Seclcy, daughter of Julius aud Alice Seeley,
who was born in Middlcbury July 10, 1869, and
died Jan. Il, 1856.
Unobtrusive, thoughtful ana exemplary, her
life was remarkable for its rare freedom from
childish errors, She was beloved and es
tccmcd by all who knew her; and in her
home, as the oldest daughter, she seemed in
dispcnsablc. To her parents she was cont
panionablc and dutitul, and To her younger
sister and brothers, atfcctionute and kind.
For nearly two years she attended, with her
cousins, the Methodist church and sunday
school, to which she was much attached, but
it was not until last autumn, during the Orec.
ious meetings held in the school house, that
she gave her heart to Jesus. She was among
the first To accept the invitation to ''come to
come to Jesus" and she came, willingly and
heartily. One evening in the meeting she said:
"This has been Il beautiful day, for Jesus has
been inmy heart all the time" With her most
intimate school friend and her little sister,
Frances,on the first sabbath in November, she
embrace her first and only opportunity, after
her conversion, ot contessng Christ, by unit
ing with the Congregational church, the
church OF her parents. The next communion,
when her brother, who was then detained by
II fever, united, she and her sister were both
upon the seek bed.
During her sickness she was cheerful and
hopeful. When the crisis o her disease, which
was typhoid fever, seemed passed, and her
physician and friends hoped that May was al
most ont of danger, an alarming change took
place, and in about two hours ON sabbath af.
ternoon she passed away. when the change
came She called for her mother and wished
her To read from the Bible IIermothcr chose
the 2}d Psalm, but was so overcome a. to be
unable to read and her father read il. May
said "Don't cry, mamma. 1t is all tor the
best There was no sign of fear, and, after
time of suffering she closed her eyes ana slept
in Jesus. Her funeral was largely attended
by sympathizing friends. Both of her pas
tors, Tor she seemed To have IA home i'm both
the Congregational and Methodist churchc,
were present with words ofcomfort. Nothing
that was appropriate seemed neglected. The
white DRESS the beautiful caSket of white vel
vet, the floral emblem of 'tiatrs aiar," and
other floral offerings, some from loving
friends, Others from her class in the Methodist
sunday school, seemed all ~Nmholical of her
entrance into "Jclusitlcm the Golden ana II
would almost seem that we might hear the
voices of angels singing "Wclcome Home"

promise, just budding into II lovely woman
hood, should be taken; but the master had
need of her. y.

datiOns Made,

The Queens Speech and the Recommen-
dations Made.
LONDON, August 19.-At the hour Parlia-
ment met, depressing and persistent rain
was falling. and the crowd that gathered
around Westminster buildings was small.
Some enthusiasm was displayed on the ar
rival OF various prominent bodies, but it was
generally quiet. The attendance in the
House of Commons was large. Many mem
bers arrived before they had breakfast. in
order to secure seats. The Queens speech
was as follows:
NY Lords and Gentlemen
l have summoned you to meet at this un.
usual session for the transa ction ofindispen-
sa BILE business. The session of the last Par
!iament was interrupted before the ordinary
work OF the year had been completed in
order that the sense OF my people might be
taken on certain important proposals with
regard to the government OF Ireland.
The result OF that appeal has been
to confirm the conclusion to which the
late Parliament had come. The provision
al nature of the arrange ent made by the
last Parliament for the public charge OF the
year renders it tinexpedient to postpone any
further the consideration of necessary
financial legislation. Gentlemen, OF the
House of Commons. The estimates which
were submitted to the last Parliament and
only partly voted will be laid before you
My lords and gentlemen at the per-
iod of the year usually assigned for the
recess and after prolonged and exceptional
labor to which many of you have been
subjected, abstain from recommend
ing now for yonr consideration any meas
ures except those which are essential to
the conduct OF public service during the
remaining portion OF the financial year.
am confident that they will receive your
prompt and careful attention.
