have an average of 1856 acres, those Of
Iowa and Nebraska average G95 acres
while several seed producing farms IN
the country are 1000 acres in extent.
The showing is peculiarly favorable
for Vermont as regards the productive
ness and value of its seed farms. There
are six farms of this character with a
total acreage of 61S acres in the State and
their value per acre is $3.50, while New
Hampshire five farms of 225 acres are
worth only $50 per acre. OF the seed
farms in this State three were established
during the past decade. A great variety
of seeds are grown in this State and the
business must command quite hanG-
some profit Judging from some of the
prices quoted. There is constantly in
creasing demand for seeds and there
would seem to be a favorable openir .

The financial review presented by the
Prudential Committee of the American
Board of Missions at Pittsfield yesterday
was very satisfactory showing. Not
only were the receipts greatly increased
during the past year, but the number of
contributing churches was larger than
ever before. This is a good indication
that the differences of other years are be-
ing forgotten by at least the rank and
file of the church, and that there is a
readiness to work in union and harmony
under the Minneapolis settlement. The
donations for the year reached $4S4, ,633.- =
IS, gain of more than 100000 over the
annual average of the five preceding
years. Added to the legacies, this gave
the Board receipts for the year amount
ing to nearly 100000. But the mission
field is an unlimited one, and work ac-
complished only suggests other yet wait
ing to be done. The Prudential Com
mittee believes that 100000 will be re-
quired by the Board for the coming year.
The STRINGS of new life in the far East,
the opening up of new avenues of inter
course between those distant lands and
the Western world, make the present a
golden time for mission work. That the
churches appreciate this the increased
efforts of the various denominations in
those fields attest.

NEWS AND NOTES.

i am told that Carnegie Brothers. the
great manufacturers of BesSemer steel,
are fighting in the iron market to keep
down the price of Bessemer ore, which
has been steadily rising under the de-
mand for it, consequent on the improved
condition of iron manufacture. They
are the largest purchasers of Bessemer
ore in the country, and it is naturally to
their interest to keep the price down.

FRUITFUL VERMONT.

"Thirty million dollars for the farm
products of Vermont this fall is a show
ing that might excite the attention of
even Western State. This has been the
best year for the farmers of the Green
Mountain State since the close of the
war. The sugar, dairy, sheep and grain
crops have all responded to improved
methods, and there is a sound of pros
perity in the air that leaves no peace for
the prophets of New England's aglicul-
tural decline"
The above is the editorial utterance of
the Boston Journal, upon the following
showing of its Vermont correspondent,

thing is to be lost by continued factional

now is not which side was in the wrong,

can be best promoted"

usual prosperity TO the farmers of Yer
mont. The earth has yielded an in
creased supply of agricultural products
and the husbandman rejoices at his
| bountiful harvest. The weather since
seed time last spring has been very
favorable for the growth and the ripen-
ing of the crops, and the harvest season
has been prolonged much later than
usual. There were no killing trosts in
State up to the first week in October, and
crops of all kinds were secured in fine
condition.
1T is probable that the harvest of 1891
is the largest gathered in any season
since the close of the war. This is GER
tainly true so far as several kinds of farm
products are concerned.
"The first crop harvested by the farm
ers at the opening of this year was the
maple sugar crop, which was the largest
ever produced from the maple forests of
Vermont. The estimated yield was
100000 pounds against 100000 in
1880 and l., 100000 in 1890.
1.-The hay crop was above the average
yield of the past few years in the State.
The crop was secured in a good condi-
ton, and the quality was above the aver
age of former seasons. The estimated
yield was 100000 tons.
The dairy industry has prospered in
1891, and is in more prosperous condi-
ton than for many previous years. The
pasturage has been good since last spring,
and more butter has been made this year
than ever before in similar period. 1t
is estimated that the production of but
ter in the State in 1891 will approximate
100000 pounds. The dairymen are
gradually turning the manufacture of
butter over to creamelies in different
sections, the result being an increased
production. The largest creamery in
the world is located at st. Albans. 1t is
the Franklin County Creamery and pro-
duces 10000 pounds of butter daily, or
5000, 900 pounds a year.
1.-The sheep industry in also on the up
ward turn in the State, and focks of
sheep can now be seen in pastures where
they have not been seen for years. The
clip of wool in 1891 will doubtless exceed
2,75O,OOO pounds.
1.-The grain crop is full one, especially
the field of oats, when is estimated at
10000 bushels. This has been great
year for corn, and the crop is expected
to approximate $500, 900 bushels. Other
farm products have also yielded large
crops. Prices for the products of the
farm have in the main been good, and a
ready market has been found for the va
rious productions.
1.-The total value of all the products of
Vermont farms-not including live stock
in 1891 will probably reach $50, 900, ,OO0."

SEED FARMS IN VERMONT.

The raising of seeds of all kinds of sta
pie grains, fruits and vegetables for mar
ket has become an extensive industry in
the United States, and the bulletin deal
ing with this subject which has just been
issued by the census department shows
that Vermont is fairly well represented
in this line of enterprise. The bulletin
states that the first regular seed farm of
those now in operation was established
in connection with the nursery business
in Philadelphia in 1884. The growth of
the industry was not rapid until after
the establishment of the market garden
system and the remarkable progress that
has been made in recent years appears
from the fact that the census of 1890 was
the first to devote an investigation into
the business of seed production. The
results of the inquiry shows that there
are 500 farms in the United States where
as so far as can be learned there were
only three in 1920, six in 1880, nineteen
in 1910, thirty-four in 1850, fifty-three in
1860 and 100 in 1870. During the follow
ing decade the number doubled and 200
more were established between 1890 and
1890, leaving the date of establishment
of 1S9 unaccOunted for.
OF the 500 seed farms now in opera
tion in this country 25S are located in the
New England and Middle States which
constitute the original centre of seed
production. The farms in this section

SHE USED A HEAVY WHIP.
A Church OrGanist Chastises Young MA
for Talking About Her.

A Church Organist Chastises a Young Man
for Talking About Her.
PITTsBURe, April Blowing to tho
endeavors of interested persons to keep
it quiet, it has only just become known
that Miss Wilma Schuck, daughter Of
Charles Schuck, living near Allegheny
City, severely chastised John Kayler, an
employe at the Werner Mills, using a
heavy blacksnake whip with such pre-
cision and surety that Kayler will carry a
SCARED face and welted back for many
days.
Miss Schuck was the organist of Father
Woelfers church, and Kayler was a COM
municant. Miss Schuck claimed that
Kayler had circulated stories derogatory
to her character. Kayler denied the as
sertions. Father Woelfel summoned the
two young people to the church for the
purpose of settling the difficulty. Kayler
again asserted that he had said nothing
for which he should apologize, and, after
an unsatisfactory conference, started
away.
Miss Schuck ran after him and drawing
the whip from the folds of her dress cut
Kayler a heavy slash across the face.
Kayler turned to run and was struck sew
eral terrible blows before he escaped.
Father Woelfel witnessed the assault,
took the whip from Miss Schuck and at
once discharged her from the position Of
organist at St. Leo's Church.
