Meeting of Dairymen's Association.

The 21st annual meeting of the Yer,
mont Dairymen's Association was helC
at St. Albans last week. The meet.
ings commenced on Tuesday morning
and closed on Thursday evening, in
which the Farmers League and the As
sociation joined forces. This Associa-
ton has had checkered career with
some checkered men for managers, but
it has demonstrated its usefulness by
growing from nothing to a membership
Of nearly six hundred. During its lat
er years it has been well officered, and
as the dairy interests of Vermont have
grown in importance it has grown in
usefulness. In connection with its an
nual meetinos there has grown up an
exhibition of dairy implements which,
together with premiums offered for dai
ry products makes it almost equivalent
to fair. There has never been a fin
er display than the one made this year.
There were Separators and Extractors
and milk testers and Creamers and re-
frigerators and butter colors and cream
tempering watts, baby size and fully de-
veloped, and various other things of
which the dairymen of a few years ago
had never heard and could not have
been made to believe if they had heard.
And these were in running order, de-
their utility, and the occa-
sion of much wonder and many COM
ments. They demonstrated the fact
that in order to keep abreast of the age
the dairyman must mix brains with his
butter and cheese.
The president, Mr.. Douglass having
died during the year, the meeting was
called to order by Hon. Alney Stone,
the first vice-president. In the absence
of Hon. j. Gregory Smith, Hon Homer
Royce gave the address of welcome. He
spoke of the growth OF the Association,
Of what Vermont has suffered by the
westward. He predicted
bright future for the Association. Mr..
Stone responded. After these address
es the meeting adjourned.

THE HOME NEWS OF BETHEL.

The farm house OF Hiram Owen situated
about 1-2 miles from this village on the
road leading to West Randolph on the
east side of the branch, was burned about
80 O'Clock Tuesday morning with all its
contents. Mr.. Owen was alone in the
house, his wife being in the village caring
for sick sister. Fire is supposed to have
caught from defective stove pipe in the
chambers and Owen was awakened BY the
fire falling from above and barely had
time to escape from the burning building.
The house being at some distance from
neighbors and somewhat hidden by the
surrounding hills, the fire was not dis
covered until it was well underway and
nearly consumed before any help arrived.
The house was insured for 500 and con-
tents for $3.50.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

We see by the Dairymen's Associa-
tion that Mr.. +. L. Bass was dropped
on the occasion of the election of ofiic-
ers. We see no reason as to why this
is thus, but confess TO our surprise.
He has been hard working secretary.
We are inclined to think he has done
more for the Association than any 9TH
er man in the same length of time,
while managing its affairs. He has
put himself heartily into the work and
if he is now thrown aside by any other
viii than his own there must be some
scheme about it that will eventually
work against its designers. We think
there has been a mistake made some
where.

do not send intelligent farmers. Mr..
Clough said that he had been trying
for long time to find out what allied
the farming interest but he had not sue
ceeded. The best that he could do
was to reach the conclusion that the
markets were overstocked with produce
which kept prices down. Some OF oul
best agricultural writer's hold the same
view. In the afternoon Mr.. Ranslow
spoke upon farmers having organIza-
tions through which they could secure
what they want. He opposed double
taxation and thought it was about time
to apply remedy. He thought there
could not be too much agitation. Prof.
j. X. Dodge Of the agricultural depart
ment at Washington spoke of the work
of that department, and gave some of
the causes Of the present agricultural

There is probably no singer who doe
not consider himself fully equal to the
task OF running the music Of church
1t may sometimes occur to the choris
ter that if the minister was only out oi
the way melody would flow unbroken.
1t sometimes occurs to the minister that
if his choir was a little more sanity he
could entertain brighter assurance
of hearing it in the glad hereafter. But
these things are only incidental to a
form of life where there is an immense
amount Of friction. We cannot believe
that church cho RS are predisposed TO
make trouble. Ii is said that singers
are sensitive-some think more sensi-
tive than sensible. In scientific terms
we regard them as altruistic rather than
egoistic Each one thinks more about
what the other fellow ought to do than
about what he ought TO do himself. But
this is rot peculiar to church choirs.
A row with choir in church is next
thing to circus. Neither are condu-
Give to worship. 1t is more agreeable
to stand outside and look on than it is
to be mixed up in it. A row with
choir is apt to continue like Southern
vendetta. If there are any grand-child-
ren to take il up it will be heard from
along the ages. Some are prone to
doubt if death ends all-choir troubles.
What is the remedy? Some have sup
posed that we could get along without
choirs. But this is impossible With
out choirs there could be no rehearsals.
Without rehearsals social life would be
dull. Without choir there would be
no organ. and without an organ there
would be no need OF sociables to raise
money with which to keen an organ in
repair. Without these sociables we
night as well give up living. Things
would be fearfully monotonous. But
{ we have choirs we must have choir
eaders. If we have these we must
axe our chances with all kinds of dis
lsters. 1t has been suggested that the
minister be dropped. But some have
loubts about leaving it to a ehorister to
un the church. There is one difiicul-
y. Choristers are usually fixture.
Their staying qualities are not deter
mined by a salary. A minister can be
hut off at any time by dropping his
ay. This places the minister at dis
dvantage. We do not see any reme-
y. The disease must be left to work
self out. When they get through at
ilandford there will be time tor social
fudv.

An Interesting Case.

4
The saints and sinners of Blandford,
Mass, are having an enjoyable time.
1t grows out of one of those rare cases
of trouble IN the choir. 1t seems that
the chorister of the NJ. +. church had
held his position for long time and
had naturally grown to think that the
voice of music would be hushed when
he should expire. In an unlucky day
the members of that church called for
congregational singing. They bounc-
ed the chorister and took new leader.
The bounced chorister stepped down
from his lofty height and merged him
self into the congregation. He became
an inseparable part of it and in so do
ing he retained his right to sing. Ev-
erybody has right to sing where con-
gregational singing is put down on the
programme. 1t is true that all cannot
sing, but all have right to sing, and
rights carry corresponding duties. 1t
is, sometimes, a good plan to sing ev-
en- if one doesn't know how, for it helps
fix attention off the sweet music of 9th
er voices. If one does not like this
kind of music it is just the kind of mu-
sic one does not like But our choris.
ter availed himself of his privilege. He
sang. Ifreports are correct he sang
more than the occasion seemed to war
rant. He carried his duties beyond his
rights. He became the central figure
of that worshiping assembly. All the |
others were overshadowed, if a voice
can be said to cast a shadow. He not
not only sang but he beat time with his
feet. He seemed determined to sing I
with the voice and with the understand
ing also. 1t Jared upon the sensibili-
ties of his neighbors. He took Sheep
skin rug with the wool on to church to
soften his footballs. This did not bring
peace. The minister spoke soft word.
It concentrated wrath. No minister,
With level head, will undertake to
regulate the choir. 1t is safer to ham
lie dynamite cartridges. Well, this
3landford affair ended with an outing.
All hands went down to Westfield to
nv the effect of the law upon the gos-
,el. 1t appears from testimony drawn
,ut that the church had been in state
# commotion for an, indefinite period.
The presiding elder swore that he was
roubled to keep minister on that
ield. Now the above is an account of
N affair that either took place or did
lot take place. If it did not take place
hen it is libel upon church choirs. IfI
t did take place then it discloses what !
We have hitherto regarded as an impos-
ible state OF affairs. We did not sup !
,ose that church choirs would UNDER
axe to work in harmony and discord. ,
We have always known that the effort ,

The new corporation tax law advanc-
es the rate from 3 to 4 per cent on the
gross earnings of express companies.
In consequence of this the American
and National Express companies have
made a per cent advance on their
charges for all packages carried wholly
within the State. This is done to meet
the tax. It is claimed by them that
the former tax was all they could meet
and that the addition is the imposition
of burden that cuts off fair profits.-
There may be such thing as squeez-
ing a corporation 100 hard. The only
thing the people can do now is not to
patronize the companies. But tins
would reduce the gross earnings and
consequently the taxes, and hence re-
act upon themselves. The only way
to get along that we can see is to SO adj
inst matters as to live and let live.

1t will be seen from an item else
where that the attorney general has de-
cided that the law granting a bounty
on maple sugar is not operative until
the first OF July instead of the first of
April, as had been expected and is the
case with other sugars. No bounty
next spring. This will be a disappoint-
ment to some who have been getting in
order for large crop. But we are in
clined to think there is not much loss
after all. The procuring Of bounty
is hedged about with so many condi-
tions that the gain likely to be secured
is all frittered away. If our farmers
will make all the sugar they can and of
the very best quality we think it will
pay them as well as anything they can
do on the farm.

The Farmers League held meeting
at St. Albans on Friday of last week.
II was called to order by Pres. Cotton
of Irasburgh who made quite speech.
He declared that the league had no po-
litical significance, but it did have some
objects to gain which were for the best
interest not only Of the farmer but OF
all classes. He seemed to think that the
farmers were in bad dish anyhow.
Money and the boys were going West.
Taxes were on the increase and those
who were sent to Montpelier TO reme-
DIV the condition of things only made
# worse. Some of his ideas were good
though he was disposed to look upon
the shady side of things. There is too
much carelessness in legislation, too
much tinkering of the school law. We
want lower salaries, fewer fees, and
retrenchment on all hands. Prof. Dole
