advances the rates of duty upon the pro-
ducts of the soil which either do supply
or can be brought to supply the home
consumption. meets the hearty approval
of the farmers of Vermont. In the esti-
nation of leading agriculturists in this
State the increase of duties as proposed
will be of much benefit to agricultural
Vermont. The northern boundary line
of this State forms but small portion of
the Canadian frontier, yet the amount
and value of the imports from the Do
miniOn into the Customs District of Yer
mont reaches an enormous figure each
wear. In 1889 the total value of all inn
pOrtations from Canada was Sll ,j06, 26j.
The amount of duties collected last year
was -, 46S, 300. The principal Canadian
products entered for consumption at the
various ports in the Vermont District in
1899 were as follows: Five thousand
head of cattle, 7430 horses, 1875 sheep.
2, 192, 6jI dozens eggs, 16l ,647 bushels of
barley, Isl ,66j bushels potatoes, S7,2l2
tons hay and 80, 46S bushels beans and
peas. Thus it will be seen that are an
nually imported into Vermont, and
through this State into New Hampshire
and Massachusetts, farm produce to the
value of several millions of dollars.
canadian hay to the value of more
than S1,OOO,OOO was imported into Yer
mont in 1889, much of it being shipped
to the Boston market. The duties
amounted to some 100000. 1t is be-
lieved by Vermont hay buyers that this
State can supply the home market form
erly supplied by Canadian farmers, and
that the imposition of a duty of 81 per
ton on imported hay will be of much
benefit to the farmers of Vermont"

Some Vermont Towns that Would DO En-
titled to PostOfficc Buildings Under the
Proposed Bill.

WASHINGTON, April 20.-The bill to
give every town of respectable proper
tons postoffice building, which was
reported from the House pOstOffice com
mittee by Congressman Chandler of Mass
achusetts, provides that building may be
built at any Office where the gross re-
ceipts for two years or more have been
$1,000 year, or, if the place is county
seat, the building may be erected if the
receipts have reached $500 in each of
two successive years. The plans are to
be such that the buildings can be ex-
tended from time to time without de-
stroying their symmetry, and none of the
buildings erected under the bill are to
cost more than S25, 900. The plan was
originally urged in its general features
by Postmaster-General Villas, and after
him by Mr.. Dickinson and Mr.. Wanna
maker. Congressman Blount of Georgia
introduced a bill in the last Congress,
but it was never called up in the House.
Following are some the offices, which
would be entitled to buildings under the
bill in Vermont: Barre, Bellows Falls,
Bennington, Brandon, Brattleboro, Fair
Haven, Middlebury, Montpelier, New
port, Poultney, st. Adams, st. Johns
bury, Springfield, Vergennes, Waterbury,
West Randolph, White River Junction
and Woodstock.

A Word to Farmers and Those Interested
In the Creamery.


The inquiry is made frequently
"When will the creamery open?" and we
can now definitely state the first week in
May. The association is fortunate in
securing the services of b. G. Bliss, an
expert butter maker and creamery man
ager. Mr. Bliss has started several new
creameries. The Columbia County
Creamery of Chatham, N, Y, has been
under his management since it started
nearly three years ago. He was awarded
first prize on butter made by himself at
the New York State Fair last fall, also
several premiums at other State fairs.
With an established reputation he will
be able to place the product of the
creamery in the hands of old customers,
and good market is already established
the day the creamery starts. It is very
important for every farmer who can do
so, to be ready to supply cream. In Or
der to give this enterprise a successful
trial it is necessary to get as large sup
ply of cream as possible. If some hold
back waiting to see if it pays, it GER
tainly will not make as good showing as
if all commenced at the same time.

These latter extremes OF disbelief are as

settlers and advises them to purchase

necessities are never supplied cannot
well arm themselves. A large number
in Rapid City have taken no apparent
interest in efforts that have been made
to organize o obtain arms for settlers.
Either from selfish motives or for fear

have held aloof. That there has proved
no great need, as yet, for organization,
