1t is reported that the board OF agri-
culture has between 500 and $500
left from its appropriation for this
years work after having fully complied
with the legal requirement to hold a
meeting in every county Of the state.
/ The meetings OF the past season have
been, for the most part, well attended.
/ The board is constituted of able men,
and its ministrations will be productive
Of much good to those farmers who
have attended the meetings in the spir-
I il as well as in the body. The MEM
] lers Of the board have directed their
attention particularly to the great eco
nomic problem which has lately so
much engrossed the public mind. There
are good business men on the board,
men who are philosophical aud patri-
otto, who greatly wish to see the ten
dency to abandon farming for other
vocations arrested, and who would like
to place permanent settler on every
deserted farm in the state. Now it is
suggested that the unexpended balance
at the disposal of the board be devoted
TO some well-considered means for pro-
curing the resettlement of these farms.
The sum is not large, but, iudiciously
expended, much may be done with it.
1t may be made to accomplish great
deal after the beginning made in the
last two wears. In no more legitimate
way can the function Of the board, ''the
promotion of agriculture. " he exercis-
ed We trust the powers that be will
see no legal 'slions in the way" of this
proposed expenditure of the balance to
the credit of the board. If more money
is wanted and can be advantageously
expended, we have no doubt that
wealthy aud patriotic Vermonters
would vie with each other in their con-
tributions to so good a work. The
employment of the board of agriculture
in this important work viii, we are
sure, command public confidence and
inspire popular enthusiasm. The fail
ure of the legislature to provide for the
continuance, in some form, OF the IN
dustrial bureau was quite unanimously
regretted, and--we speak advisedIy-
by none more than by many Who were
not entirely in sympathy with Com
missioner Valentines views and opera
tons, but who, nevertheless, heartily
approved the purpose of the law estab-
fishing the bureau. All regret even
the temporarysuspension Of this bureau
for we deem its re-establishment in
1892 in some form as certain ms any,
thing in the future can be. If now,
through the board of agriculture, the
work and expenditure of the last two
years can not only be rescued from ut
ter loss, but resumed along such lines
as shall be agreed upon after careful de-
liberation. we believe the people will
approve and win ask that it be done.
and that a beginning be made at once.

1t will be seen by the following that
the West Randolph dentists were appre-
ciated at the annual meeting of the State
Dental Society held at Rutland last week.
The 10Th annual meeting of the Yer
mont State Dental Association closed the
10th after one of the most successful and
enjoyable sessions in its history At the
annual election these officers were chosen.

A quarter of a century has elapsed since
the armies and navies of citizen soldiers
who had survived the hardships of up
wards of four years of war were mustered
out and returned to their home to enjoy
the full fruits of peace in united Repub-
lie. Since that time this greatest OF wars
has had the distinction of being more
amply described, recorded, pictured and
even photographed than any other event
IN human history. But it has remained
for the Century Co. of New York whose
very name is a guaranty of the complete
ness of anything they undertake to give
us in one complete and comprehensive
work the whole story. The glorious vic
tories the dlsheartening defeats and the
amusing features of the march and camp
life. Written by the men who made the
facts which they describe, men who were
present and participated in the events
such a history must give the touch of life
which no history written by a scholarly
historian could possess and we believe it
is the one work which the soldier or sail
or actively engaged as well as the new
generation which is growing up and feels
bride in the records of their ancestors in
This great struggle for national liberty,
will treasure the most. The engravings
are bv the best artists in America and are
engraved and printed with the marvellous
slxill and perfection which has marked
the Century Company's productions.
Mr.. A J. Perkins, representing the com
many. is calling on the people in this vi
entity. calling attention to the work and
givinn those who wish an opportunity to
5ossess history Of the worlds greatest
war. which never has and in our opinion
never will be equalled. As a work of ref
erence it is invaluable to the professional
man or student. AS a history of the war
il is complete and satisfactory. We COM
mend the work to the attention Of our
readers
