Advertising st. Johnsbury.'

simultaneously with the Introduction OF
a bill in the legislature OF 1883, by Repre-
sentative Mann OF Wilmington, TO create
a special agricultural and manufacturing
advertising bureau, the press of Vermont
awakened to the Importance of advertising
the state as never before. Some OF the ad-
vertising may have been imprudent, but
the most of it was judicious, and all was
well meant. This was the beginning of a
new era, and from the free advertising
given, the evidence is conclusive that the
state has received much benefit in return.
1t is method oil advertising adopted by
all new Western states and communities,
for which funds are literally appropriated
and which has been the means, in no
small measure, of attracting settlers. AS
sociations in some of the larger towns in
Vermont have followed on the same line,
especially in st. Adams and Burlington,
in books published outside of the state.
But it remains for st. Johnsbury to be
placed at the head of the list in home
publication entitled ''St. Johnsbury Illus
trated." This is a work of 100 large pages,
compiled by Mr.. Arthur f. Stone, and
published by the Caledonian Press COM
pany, of which he is member. As
work of literature and art it will take rank
with the very best, not excepting publica-
tions issued from the large cities. 1t
claims to be, IA review OF the towns bus
iness, social, literary and educational ia
cilities, with glimpses of picturesque sur
roundings" and the claim is made good in
every particular. There are nesrly three
hundred engravings illustrative OF the
work, and are all of the finest and neatest
quality. They comprise birds eye view
of the village, its principal business
houses, its churches and school houses,
public buildings, numerous residences,
etc, with scores of portraits of the leading
5..~ hat b.
torical and biographical, but is devoted
more to a description of what the town
now is with its possibilities for future inn
provement. The book is attractive and
winning and cannot fail of being of great
advantage to tie town hereafter. 1t is
credit to its compiler, the Caledonian pub
fishing company, and to the town OF st.
Johnsbury. 1t is good pattern for other
towns in Vermont to follow.-St Adams

The dairy school at the experiment sta
tion is proving just what its projectors de-
signed it to be--a practical help to practi-
csl dairymen. Students have been plenty
from the opening day, and visitors the
same. Yet there are many, doubtless, who
would be glad to see the school on its
working DAYS when fairly under way, and
the directors haYe therefore decided to
set apart Tuesday, Dec %, as day of gen
eral VISITATION IOr Jne WAOle Ctale. Inc
Central Vermont will sell tickets from its
principal stations to Burlington and re-
turn, for fare one way. The school closes
two days later. Its hours are from $3.50 a.
m. until dark On Tuesday there will be
in operation the Butter Extractor, for max
ing the butter directly from the milk at
one operation; the Butter Accumulator,
for churning the cream continuously as it
flows from an ordInaryDeLaval Separator,
and the Fargo Centrifugal Butter Worker,
which will work three hundred pounds of
butter in six minutes, without any labor
on the part OF the operator. These last
two machines are the latest dairy inven-
tions and have never before been operated
in New England. Besides these machines
there are at present in use at the dairy
school. the DeLaval Steam Separator, the
DeLaval Belt Separator, and the DeLaval
Hand Separator, as three of the Alpha pat
tern. the Sharpless Russian Steam Separa-
tor, the Danish Weston Separator, Hen
lingss Milk Cooler and Aerator, Boyd's
Starter, Cooley Deep Setting Tanks, box
and barrel churns, hand and power butter
workers, and a new and very efficient
method of heating or cooling milk and
washing dairy apparatus. Clipper.
