AGRICULTURAL MEETING.
We notice from the programmes
which have been distributed, for the
Farmers, meetings now being held at
Hyde Park, that on Thursday the
members of the board will speak up:
on the following topics; Increasing
the Fertility of the Farm" by }. y
Sanford of Stamford; Farming II
Vermont" by VIM. Dhapin of Middle
sex; Farm Buildings" by Homer
w. Vail of Pomfret.
This is very attractive programme
and we wish to repeat what we sale
| fast week: That there is probably NJ
man in Vermont who knows NOR
about the subject of manqres and TIN
application in increasing the fertility
! OF the farm than Mr.. Sanford, who il
one of the members of the board. III
topics are all interesting and are be
ing handled with ability by the sever
al members of the committee. Blu
if there is any one subject which tn
average farmer seems to be insuffici
emily posted in, it is manure. LIE
the farmers of Lamoille avail them
selves of this meeting, even if the
have to let some of their ordinary Ia
bors suffer. There is no way j
which the day can be spent to bette
profit than. in taking the boys, We
the girls and mothers too, for tina
matter, to this meeting.
