she Experiment station FRIDAY.
The lecture in the farmers course at the
experiment station Friday afternoon was
byJ O. Sanford of Rycgate on natural and
artificial fertilizers Mr.. Sanford is
very earnest and interesting speaker aud he
held the closest attention of the audience
during the lecture. President Buckham in
troduced the lecturer who said: that his
subject was of great importance to farmers
About 40 years ago all farmers had to do
was to clear up tue lanl II was fertile and
they found II ready sale for all of their prod

farming just MS their fnt1ers did 10 years
ago. Others have taken into consideration
that we live in different times. rich
farmer years ago would own u large farm
while to-day it Is different.
The speaker did not believe there were
abandoned farms in Vermont. There is
land that is abandoned but not farms.
Every farmer should get hold Of the idea
and conform his farm to smaller area. II
you have largo farm give up some of it.
Exhausted soil where it is rough and can
not be worked with modern machinery

Every farmer must consider tho soil 1t is
not exhausted in many cases but simply the
fertility is gone. Some of the farmers
think book farming is nonsense. In few
years they will see their mistake and great
results will come from the experiment sta
tions within the next ten years.
The manurial value of all crops must be
returned to the farm. ~ great deal depends
on the construction of barns. Some farm
ers throw the solids out doors throug h
holes and the liquid runs through cracks

ABSUROlTY OF THE LAW DEFINING
A LEGAL CHEESE.

The Law should Define what the Cheese
Itself Must Contain in Order to Iili the
Legal Requirement, Not the Constitu-
cnts of tho Milk That Makes II.
The absurditv of some Of orr dairy
laws can he seen by the practical eye
when directed to the one that says a
legal cheese is one made of milk that
has per cent, of fat in It. The pre-
sumption Of the law is that If a cheese
il made of such milk the resulting
cheese viii have III it 80 per cent. fat, on
the theory that the process of cheese
making eliminates nine-teuths of the
weight of the milk taken to make 1t.
Whiio so much is trne of such milk, 1t
by NO means follows that more than
that does not 20 to the whey vat, and
that the excess over 90 per cent. that
goes out in pure fat is lost through want
of skill in the making. The buyer of
cheese wants to get the quality he pays
for in his cheese, and is not so very
much concerned about what is in the
milk if he does not get the best and
most valuable part of it in the cheese.
ne lNN SnOultl ucllllt Il legal SGill-
| dard" cheese TO be one that has so much
4 per cent. of fat in it, the same as it de-
| fines the legal standard for milk that is
sold as whole milk. 1t is the amount of
| pure gold that Is in our standard" dol
/ lar that makes it legal and current, not
the per cent. of gold the quartz bore
when it was mined.
| We used to hear there was a time when
the English buyers of large shipments of
| cheese to that country did N write ac-
ceptauce of the consignment till after
samples of the same had been tried
out" and found to contain the requisite
amount of fat TO fulfill the contract. All
buyers of cheese should have that re-
course back on the seller, Just the same
as he has now for short weights or bad
cheese surreptitiously boxed and shipped.
In short, all should have what they pay
for We all agree on that point when

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
In answer to questions the speaker said
If he had worn out farm would commence
by ploughng and in the spring sow oats;
next year plant corn; give it a dressing Of
manure; take portions OF the field and
go over it twice in that way.
THIS winter the lecturer had figured out
the cost of rations for one of his cows per
day, and found it was 90 cents day. He
SAID that he had a farm containing 40 acres
of meadow lanl, and he was wintering be
tween 40 and 30 head of stock; thought en-
silage n great help; can raise from IS to 20
tons Of corn on an acre, which is equal to
six or eight tons OF hay. His STOCK is in
crenslng. Generally raises from - to II
acres OF corn; did not think that he would
ever husk any more corn. In sowing oats
and peas he mixed them in the proportion
of two bushels of oats to one OF peas. a
variety of feed is very good.
Always sold his butter for 30 cents in the
summer and 35 in winter The only help
he employs besides himself and boy was a
boy he paid Sl2 "A month. He said that he
got mo- from the 40 acres OF meadow that
he has now, than he used to from 20 acres.
Farmers should think over this matter.
