This agreement can not fail to slim
ulate very greatly the trade between
these islands and the United States.
The people Of British West Indies look
naturally to US as their nearest COM
mercial neighbors, and our trade is
already large. Under the new sched-
ules it ought soon to be doubled.
This trade, too, is even now carried
on largely in American bottoms. The
Yankee schooner is familiar figure
in Gulf waters With an increase Of
trade there must come also an increase
IN shipbuilding; and our merchant ma
rine will feel at once the powerful
effect Of a new stimulus.
This is one of the greatest triumphs
yet recorded for reciprocity. Great
credit is due Mr.. John w. Foster, who
has conducted the negotiations which
have led to this result. The people
will not forget, either, that these ben
efits for American commerce have
been secured by republican admin
istration by virtue Of that ''McKinley
act,' which democrats have always
denounced, but which has done more
in one year for the prosperity of our
country than was ever accomplished
by a tariff law before in the same
length of time.-Mail and E1press.

The cry OF Vermont's Worlds Fair
commissioners is still for more money.
With the SO, Geo voted by the 1egisla-
ture at the extra session, the commits
sioners in circular just issued say
they "find themselves handicapped
at the beginning Of the competitive
race with our neighbors, and urgent
ly appeal"-for assistance, to wit,
more money. The next legislature is
to be worked for SO, eco more, but
per- adventure it may not be appro-
priated, individuals are asked to sub
scribe $100 each, the payment condi-
toned upon the subscription Of So,
coo, with the further condition that if
the legislature appropriates an addi-
tional sum Of SO, 600, individual sub
scriptions shall not be demanded; and
if a less sum than SO, ,OO0 is appropri-
ated, pro rata amount Of the indi-
vidual subscriptions will be required.
The fair has degenerated into an in
sane rivalry for display, and Vermont
has 10 business in it. The sooner she
pulls out the better for her. No pos
sible benefit, at all commensurate with
the money already appropriated, can
accrue to the state. Ten thousand
dollars more are wanted Then S25,-
coo additional will be wanted to, take
the National Guard to Chicago III 1898
at grand muster of the national mill
tia. An exhibition Of products of all
kinds is desirable, but this Chicago
business is an exhibition of vanity,
and vanity doesn't pay With better
results Vermont can put her money
into "bOom' on her own soil, rather
than into boom for Chicago real es-

Dispatches from Honduras make
the announcement that the govern
ment of that republic has granted the
exclusive privilege for period of ten
years to representatives of the Louis
lana Lottery Company of New Orleans
to operate a lottery in that country.
This is done on condition that certain
large royalties be assured the govern
ment. This is an encouraging sign.
When the Louisiana Lottery begins to
cast anchors to the windward in this
manner it means that the end of its
z mination in the United States is
fast approaching, and that its manag-
ers realize the fact. We have no spec
ial grudge against Honduras, but if
that misguided republic wishes to ad
nit a serpent into its domains, it is no
business of ours to interfere. Hondu-
rus is good place for the lottery COM
pany to locate. One of the weekly
revolutions may chance to push the
disreputable concern off into the Ca
ribbean sea or the Pacific ocean. Such
a result would give character to the
typical Central American revolution.
The race of the Louisiana State Lot
terry is nearly run. 1t has Wrung hard
earned money from gullible people,
has corrupted public officials and dead
ened the sense of honor in our citizens.
1t has lived far too long and will die,
as it deserves to, a death ofignominy.

AS result of the unusually large
number of fires in Vermont during the
past year, several insurance compa
nies have decided that they cannot
proftably do business in this state,
and will withdraw therefrom on Jan
uary first. Among these withdraw
ing companies is the German Ameri-
can OF New York, the sixth largest
American fire company. The depar-
ture of this excellent company from
the state will be sincerely regretted,
but the fire loss in this country during
1891 has been appalling, and it is not
strange that companies which have
been most directly affected thereby,
are disposed to proceed with caution.
Vermont has had large share in this
fire loss, as an examination of the re-
cords will shoW.-CdIedonidp

It is suggested thatthe United States
frigate Constellation be designated to
carry across the Atlantic the train
load OF bread stufTs which generous
American farmers are donating to the
relief Of the starving Russian peas
antry. The Constellation once per-
formed this errand for the famine
stricken people of Ireland, but there
are several objections to her being
employed again on similar service.
Tn the first place, the old ship is hard
ly seaworthy, and it would take a
long time to put her in proper shape
for a winter voyage across the bois-
ferrous Atlantic. In the second place
she is a sailing vessel, and could hard
~ hope to make the passage within

THE FARM DAIRY IN WINTER.
Don't Use the Kitchen Pantry for Milk
room.

"a
Don't Use the Kitchen Pantry for MILK
room.
The housewife who expects to make
butter this winter from milk and cream
set in the kitchen pantry will not have
any better 'luck" than heretofore in Sc
curing a good salable article. If one
has not an especial milk and butter
room for winter use, it will pay to add
such an apartment to the dwelling, even
though the quantity of milk is not large.
No great outlay is necessary, but the
setting aside of some room in the house
for this purpose is generally all that is
requisite. 1t is imperative that the at
mosphere of the kitchen should have no
access to the dairy room. 1t is safe to
say that in two-thirds of the farmhouses
throughout the land, where winter but
ter making is practiced on small scale,
this vital point is utterly ignored.
In seeking kitchen warmth, kitchen
odors are admitted, and the pans Of
milk resting on shelves in the pantry, or
even above the cooking range, are re-
peatedly charged with the impurities of
the atmosphere This is one of the
greatest drawbacks to successful winter
butter making; but better knowledge of
the subject should reform the bad prac-
tice. The room in which the milk is to
be set for butter making purposes should
be ventilated by some aperture in the
ceiling, and the temperature should not
be subject to extremes of heat and cold.
From so to so dogs. is a good temper
allure. The milkroom should be so en-
tirely separate from the living apart
ments that no vitiated air can enter it.
If ensilage Or roots are fed to the cows,
the milk should be aerated as soon as
drawn to expel the foreign odor.
In striving to have the cows comfort
able do not make the stable so close and
warm that the animals will become
lethargic and lose their appetites. The
vitiated air of close stable will surely
faint the milk. The health of consumers
is threatened by the use of such diseased
milk, and it will also impart its bad
character to butter and cheese. Do not,
have the drop in the floor at the rear of
the cows too close to their heels. A
cramped position invites abortion, and
is otherwise detrimental to the health of
the animal. Supply milk cows in win
ter with bedding of either shavings or
straw, else their food will not have its
full nourishing effect. George E. New
