FARMERS At eNosBuaeH FALLS.

Lively Discussion by Practical Men on
Practical subjects
The second of the seasons meetings of the
State agricultural board was held at Enos-
burgh Falls Thursday aud Friday. Judge
McAlirster who was chosen chairman of
the meeting, first introduced Professor
Cooke who spoke on the subject OF cream
erys, the principal points being very similar
to what he said at Swanton early in the
week. I'm answer t. questions, Professor
Cooke said
grESTIoNS ANSWERED.
Average price of creamery butter among
tho farmers is four or five cents in favor OF
that made at creamery
About is pounds of butter to 100
pounds of mix is fair estimate OF Yer
mont milk a. whole.
An old da,ryman said he "thought five
pounds Of butter could he made from every
100 pounds Of milk produced in Vermont
Prof. CooNc-We have annlyzed many
samples OF milk taken 10 creameries from
diflcren; parts Of the state and have found
many samples that have been 'doctored."
Rich nlkcrs rather than large mixers
should he kept for butter purposes,
rs more butter par yenr can he produced
from tile same quantity of feed with that
breeders is now from the richest mil!;ers
When we come within the radius Of
cheese factory we always find poorer milk.
Every creamery should buy milk, paying
for 1t what II is WORTH and every farmer
should insist ou selling Ivy test. Buying
and selling milk hy the amount OF butter
fut contained in it would very soon raise
the standard OF our COWS.
Every COW in the hert should be tested.

MARKETING FARM CROPS
Hon William Chaplin of MiddlescX, spoke
on marketing farm crops. He considered
tic home markets the best and wished they
were larger and more numerous. Hay is
our most valnabe crop. We cut in 1850
over I. coo. coo tons and lie thought We cut
more in 1890 This crop should Ire market
ell on tine farm n, much as possible: created
into butter or cheese. wool mutton. aud
early lambs or any other commodity Adj
vocates carly cutting and twice If necessary
or il it grows, never allows any animals to
put foot on his meadows TO crop the fall
feed. Early cut hay is best for any farm
stock, but hay for market needs 10 stand
longer. Advised making butter the year

cncle sam's Border hine.

N Louise Ford, in the February
 Wide Awake, tells how the boundary line between the United States and
 the British possessions on the north is defined. Where the lne enters forests the timber IS cut down, and the ground cleared rod wide; where it crosses small lakes stone cairns have been built, sometimes being eighteen feet under water and eight above; in other places earth mounds seven by fourteen feet have been built. The most of these monuments, winch num- Der three hundred and eighty-eight in all, are of iron 1t was found that the most solid wooden posts were not proof against the ravages of the h. dians, prairie fires, and the weather, so tbat nothing but iron would dc. These pillars are hollow iron castings fitted over solid cedar posts and well bolted thaeugh, and are sunk four feet Tn the ground. They are eight feet hngh, eight inches square at base and four at top, and upon opposite sides facing north and south are the inscrip- tons cast in letters two inches high. "Coneention of London" and October 20. ISIS Tie pillars weigh two hun dred and eiehiy-hye pounds each and were made at Detroit, Michigan. So you see Uncle Snm's border line IS very distinctly marked all the way rem the lakes to the summit of the Rocky Mountains. /

Fort sill Wort De.

General Miles, in recent interview on the subject of the removal of the Chiricahua Apaches, said: If they are sent to Fort Sill there is nothing to prevent them from getting into the mountains of New Mexico There are some other Apacbes there, rensgades from tue Mescalero agency. They go back and forth every season They can ride across in five days. The Apaches, Comanches, and kiowas now there have d perfect knowledge of the country. jf these fellows are sent there they will be together, mounted, and possibly armed in SIX weeks. Once started it would be diilicalt to intercept them, and 1 think thsre would bo great danger of exciting the kiowas and Comanches. l think it would bs cxcecdingly dangerous. to place these Apacbes at Fort Sill. l tbink the people of Arizona would have just cause for apprehension, ] baye no confidence whatever in those Indians and il would be a terrible ms take to move them. 1 believe that they should be placed somewhere in the mountains of North Carolina.

Pressure ea The wainnt Grove Dapr.
Financial and Mining Reoord.)

lfinancial and Mining Record.)
 The dam was 10 feet high, and the lake it held back was the largest body ot water in Arizona, covering sur face of 750 acres and impounding 00,000,000 gallons. The pressure upon the dam when the artificial fake bed was full of water was tremendous.
 The horizontal pressure or direct push on a section of the dam one foot wide and extending from top to bottom at the middle of the structure was about l90 tonssor an average of about E tons per square foot. Near the base the pressure was. of course, much greater, the overturning force of the water about tue bottom of thls part of the wall having been about 1000 tons. It will be seen that the crushing force agalnst the plahking was very great, and unless it fitted snugly against the granite, it would have been broken, and very small break would have permitted the escape of large amount Of water. A crack near the bottom of the dam measuring only one-quarier of an inch by twelve inches, would have allowed flow of 1860 gallons per minute or AT 600 gallons in an hour. Of course, the gradual escape ot the water at this rate woald not be ;hs worst consequence of such break, for the flow of water would tend to weaken and undermine the dam, tbough built of stone.

Cattle Convention.

At the International State Cattle Convention, held at Fort Worth, Tex as, the depresslon of the cattle indus try was discussed at length. Hon. | Charles E. Leonard, of Missouri, took the position that If Texas could kill and refrigerate her cattle at home and find profitable foreign market, the problem of obtaining better prices for the cattle in other States would be solved. It was the immense numbers of Texas cattle placed on the market, frequently glutting it that forced pri- ces down and made 1t possible for the dressed-beef men in Chicago to fix the price of all the cattle in the country. H. w. L. Black, of Fort McKavitt, Tex, advocated the establishment of bureaus Of information in each State, these bureaus to be conducted by the National Government if necessary, It should be the duty of this bureaus officers to collect statistics and inform ation of the state of the market, glv- ing the number of cattle offered for sale daily, and the number in transit to the great cattle markets sf the country. With this information in his possession the cattle-raiser would not ship when the market was full and 1t could never be glutted Each State should have d central point al which this information could be obtained at any time. Cattle exchanges should be established and cattle graded In sell ing cattle could be sold by grade and the scalawags in shipment of cattle would not fix the value on all the cat tie.
 L. k. Hardness held that under con- sumption was the cause of the depres- sion of prices, and that cattle interests suffered no more than other interests. Corn was selling at l0c. per buShel n Kansas, aud wheat at 50c per bushel, and the Ameriean people would con sume everything produced if they had the money to buy, and would buy the best we had
 B. E. Stafford, of Texas, favored the establishment of large refrigerators at Fort Work, Columblis and Victoria, and one on the Gulf coast, with adja- cent pasturage sufficient 10 hold all surplusage of cattle. The deficit of cattle in England, Germany, France and Belgium was SooD0o tons per an- mum. 1.-the deficit could be supplied by Texas and ether range States, our seeming oyerproductioh of cattle would not make the price for all cattle.
 The result of the discussion was the adoption Of a resolution that the Con- vention fully investigate the bureau of information plan, and that a com hittee composed of J L. Brush of Col orado, +. E. Harold of Texas, A. J. Dull of Wyoming, G. ". Gentry of Missouri, and Gov. Glyck of Kansas, prepare report on refrigerators.

An experienced practical paper mak- CT states that very superior quality of tough linen paper can be manufae- tured from the fbrous trunk of the amoIe that grows so luxuriantly in many portions of southern Arizona. The stalk of this plant often grows to the size of a feet in diameter and IS composed of long and extremely tough and elastic fiLres and light, brittle pith. The fibrous product is easily separated and possesses many useful properties in the manufacture of fab- TICS and cordage, while it stands at the head of paper making materials. The canyon at the east of Florence contain heavy growth of amole very rear the site ct the proposed dam at the Buttes where plenty of water and an immense power can be had 10 con vert it into paper.

WASHINGTON, Aug. II. - Mr., Morrow
tried to have conference Of the Secretary
OF the Treasury, Postmaster General and
Attorney General to-day on the San Fran
cisco Postoffice site, but did not succeed in
getting them together. 1t is learned that
Mr.. Clarkson's first choice is the Howard
street property, and it will probably be Sc
cured by condemnation. This information
comes from a most reliable source and cor
roborates dispatch published week ago
exclusively by the California Associated
Press. 1t is learned that although Mr.. Clark
his report will speak very favorably of
other locations, but as the Commissioner
who was sent TO San Francisco to examine
the different pieces of property reported
Howard street as his first choice, and Mr..
Clarkson is favorably Impressed with it, it
is altogether likely that it will be chosen,
although Postmaster-General Wanamaker
is not favorably impressed with it. He in
sists that there ought to be ''lots Of roorn,"
aud that the Government should purchase
the MiSsion-street property "no matter
what it costs"
The Secretary of the Interior has ap-
proved the cession of another "list" of land
to the State of Nevada by the Government.
1t comprises 10000 acres.
Senator Allison the other day in speak
ing to the California Associated Press
correspondent said that the Conference
Committee on the Sundry Civil Bill would
probably report in favor of the Senate
amendment repeating the law reserylng
irrigable lands from settlement. But when
the conference report was made few days
after it was found that this was one OF the
points upon which the Conference Commit
tee could not agree. Accordingly, another
Committee Of Conference WAS appointed.
1t is said that the conferrees on the part of
the House insist that irrgable lands shall
be reserved from settlement, and that
Powell shall have large appropriation Tor
irrigation surveys.

has been stationed at San Francisco for
