There has been hut little decline from the
highest figures which spring-w heat flour
reached during the speculative fever several

AGRICULTURAL.

DIR. Hoskins urges ia the Montpelier
Waterman the establishment Of sort Of
freight express, to take small shipments of
farm produce at moderate rates from sta
tons in Vermont to the industrial centres
OF southern New England He says that
many residents Of these cities desire to get
their supplies of farm produce from produ
GERS with whom they are personally ac-
quainted. and he believes that such sys-
tenn would ultimately develop a large and
profitable business for the railroads eugag
ing in it, while it would save the succession
of commissions coming out Of the price Of
the products at the farm, which in many
cases make all the difference between a
good profit and serious loss for the farmers.
The New York Evening Post quotes this as
an excellent suggestion aud one that seems
entirely practicable. Many people in New
York city, the Post adds, get butter, eggs.
vegetables and other farm supplies from
the interior Of New York state or from the
western portion of New England despite
the expense and difficulties which now at
tend such transactions, and this traffic
might he greatly increased if arrangements
were made which would diminish the cost
and trouble to the equal advantage of far
mers in the country and housekeepers in

From the Burlington Free Press
The farmers of the state are not little
exercised over the action of the last legis-
lature, which places fermented cider with
the list of intoxicants The law as now
amended reads
'No person shall, except as otherwise
specially provided, manufacture, sell, fur
nish or give away by himself, clerk, ser
want or agent, spirituous or intoxicating lq
nor or mixed liquor of which a part is spir-
ituous or Intoxicating, or malt liquors or
lager beer and the phrase Intoxicating
liquors where it occurs in this chapter
shall be held to include such liquors and
beer and fermented cider.
There can be but one hope left the farm
err under this law and that is to sell his
cider when new, or else keep it until age
turns it into vinegar Attorneys are
agreed on this subject. The farmer who
has held his cider for rise in the price
will have to store it for some time or else
violate the law in selling it, 1t is thought
vinegar will be cheap next summer.
