AFTERNOON SESSION.
MIR. Chaplin in discussing Farming for
profit made mention of the different farm
ing industries and how they could be run
with profits. AT the close he said no farm
ing paid well us the too
Gifted despised poultry. The children
or lady members of tho household

in demand at good prices. lie also spoke
of the money of the State and how almost
all of 1t had been taken from the soil. Too
much of this has been taken to build up
business and towns outside Of the State and
altogether too much of it will never see its
owners again.
Mr.. L. Whitney said-It seems to me
this fault finding and q umbling will not
help us cut of our difficulty. We have got
to work out our own salvation. We need
more skill, gumptiou, study and brains to
be good farmers. We live too extensively.
Labor is the great hue and cry now. 1t is
just S64 per year more than 30 years ago
and butter is worth one-third more now
| than then.
Mr.. Chapn-A man bought n farm last
year and paid one-half of it from crops the
! past season.
MIR, Watson-Think farming can be done
at profit. The general opinion is that
grass is the main crop know of farmers
who can make one pound of butter per cow
a day on early cut hay alone.

The Best ouality of Bacon.

The best quality of bacon cannot be
made of meat that is not well drained of
its blood, says American Agriculturist,
Meat that is Intended for the best quail
ity of bacon should be thoroughly bled,
and butohering, by which act the main
artery is cut, does this in the most eff
fecrual and speedy way. 1t rids the
meat of the largest percentage of blood,
and leaves it in that condition that is
best for curing and keeping well.
Herein lies defect, and serious one,
in much of the ordinary bacon and salt
pork of the day. 1t is not Invested of
its blood. In fact, it is no doubt the aim
with most packers to retain the blood
in osler To have tho meat weigh heavier.
This practice, opposed as it certainly is
to both Scripture and sound hygicnic
rules, cannot be too severely condemned,
The old Jewish law strictly forbids the
eating Of blood, and doubtless some of
the diseases aud ills Of mankind at the
present day might be traced to the blood
retained in the flesh when slaughtering!

Maintaining the Fertility of the Farm

In an address before one of the New
York farmers Institutes Secretary Wood
ward had the following to say on main
tanning fertility of the soil
"Rotation will not save land. 1t puts
off the calamity of exhaustion, 1t simply
equalizes the ratio of exhaustion. 1t is
said 'tlllage is manure Tillage docs not
add any manure II works ii out faster.
Weeds arc better than bare land. Sum
mer following is a very expensive proc
ess. | had rather grow weeds and plow
them under 1t would be better for the
land. Bare land loses its ammonia. Sow
rye in the corn TO conserve the fertility.
Naked earth is a losing earth. How shall
we make fertility? We can do it by the
purchase of commercial fertilizers; but
this system is too costly, unless for special
crops. Another way is by means of stable
manure. ~ have" Mr.. Woodward said,
"banished the word barnyard from my
vocabulary. A barnyard is nuisance,
My stable manure paid me last winter,
10y feeding stock, over 81 a load profit

seed and linsoed meal, middlinGs and
bran, and my manure comes from these
foods fed to animals. BY this system the

der the direction of the State Board of
Agriculture was organized by electng George

con Samuel James who made a short open
ing address. Mr.. James said that the eyes
of too many of our sons and daughters

other places, thus showing they have lost
faith in their native State. But he believ
ed in Vermont yet, and have as much faith
in her productiveness and possibilities as
ever.
Hon. William Chaplin of Middlesex was
the first regular speaker, who had Tor his
subject, Farming Cor profit lie said
that every farm kept more or less poultry
in many instances poultry was more loss
than profit, but if rightly managed would

demand in their season and command fancy

these sheep has been Nermont's most i'm

soil and climate are adopted to produce
them. There never was u time when q

Economy in Feeding farm stock Winter

DairyluS-Jhe Silo.
q the farmers meeting in Williston on
January ~ Mr. Vail spoke on the
economy of feeding farm stock. We need
stock that is worthy of our care and labor
which represents money, and in our prac-
tice Of feeding we should attempt to follow
out nature closely as possible Warmth
is the natural condition of the animal and
green grass the natural feed. Our dairy
animals therefore, noed a warm place and
succulent food. Tho silo is the sheet an
Choir of succoss in winter dairying. Ensi-
age takes the place of roots. By weighing
the milk al every milking and change the
f-oi you can learn what effect they will
have upon milk.
Nr. Whitney said the board could do no
better service in the community than to
tell them how and what kinds Of grain to
iced.
Prof. Cookie like TO feed equal quaint
ties ia weight Of each kinds of feed. A
good feed for an average COW is made OF one
