Comment on the essay being in order
Col. J Ohm r. Bond said the essay was on
a new line, and he vas interested in it.
He thought the estimates however we're
at least 10 per cent below the actual
cost. He thought ten acres of grass
could not be cut in day by one team,
at least not generally. He thought an
estimate of As bushels of corn per acre
this year is q full estimate, and
thought in the average of years
it would bs so bushels. He thought
one cent aud a halt per shock
for husking was low estimate. As TO
ploughng it was a good team in this
vicinity that would pillow two acres per
day. He thought the wheat estimate Il
| fair one. The oats estimate a fair one.
| He thought the estimate en- Insurance
| taxes and interest was not a high one
That the whole estimate was conserYa-
! tive.
Mr.. S. II. Carson thought MIR. Bond a
little extravagant in his charges against
the grain crops, and was little low in
his estimate of production. He thought
the average of wheat was %, corn SO
and oats 40 bushels. To plow 10 acres
of land for wheat, one team would take
five days. To roll aud harrow it would
require day. One man with horses
abreast would cut with every thing got
ready 10 acres OF wheat in one day. The
size of TIE field had something to Dc
with the cost OF planting, a small tielc
being little more costly.
Mr.. Moore thought Mr., Bond was {
little high on cutting corn, but low OF
the cost of huskirg, but in the main tht
estimate was fair. Taking the country
through, a team of two horses wolld MOI
plough more than an acre and half
aud one team should Gu eight acres o
grass in day.

The above includes the main lea

noted that the directors are given
considerable authority, and that the
changes provided for are decidedly
radical. 1t is not to be expected
that the shaking off of the old and
the putting on of the new system

friction and Inconvenience. But the
town system has already been given
trial in about dozen towns
of the state and was proved very
satisfactory to all concerned. There

AN EXCELLENT MOVE.
cess.

The recent formation, at Morris
vile during the Dairymen's meeting,
of the Vermont Maple Sugar Assoc
citation was an excellent move. The
object which lies nearest the heart OF
the association just now isthe bring
ing together of a creditable exhibit
of Vermont maple sugar and syrup
at the Worlds Fair; and, with the
concerted action ensured by this or
ganization, the display OF this branch
of Vermont's productiveness ought
to be so extensive and of SO fine
quality as to open the eyes OF the
world to what our state can do in
this direction, and to prove that the
poet Sake made no mistake when he
laid stress on maple sugar as one OF
the productions of his state. Frank
Kenfeld OF Morrisvile was made
president of the new association !;
A. F. Croft of Enosburgh is its sec
rotary, and Victor l. Spear is treas
urer.
The closing Of the Worlds Fair,
however, should not be the signal
for the dissolution of the Maple
Sugar Association. Such an institu-
ton, well managed, can be of in
estimable value to the state, and
substantial results may be expected
from the new organization.

The Burlington Clipper has gone
into the missing word" craze, and
in its last issue started series OF
coupons. This craze, which has
ragged so extensively in E gland, has
been classed as gambling. by the
authorities over there, who are now
putting a stop to it as rapidly as
possible. The Clipper cannot afford
to go into the missing word" bust

person in London has been made
hopelessly mad by the excitement

EX-PRESIDENT HAYES.

The list of prominent men who
have recently been removed by the
hand of death was added to on
Tuesday night by the decease of
Ex-President R. B. Hayes at his
home in fremont, o., after brief
illness with neuralgia of the heart.
He had, at several times during
month past, complained of trouble
in this direction, but as nothing
serious resulted from previous at
tacks he was not thought to be
dangerously i'll.
Rutherford B. Hayes was born at
Delaware, o., in 1922. He was
lawyer by profession, and entered
the army at the outbreak of the civil
war, distinguishing himself in two
or three campaigns and rendering
most valiant service to the Union
cause. Elected to the presidency in
1876 after a close fight at the polls,
and inaugurated in March, 1877,
after the long-drawn-out delibera-
tons of the electoral commission, he
gave the country an administration
characterized by no startling fea-
lures, but memorable for devotion to
principle and disregard of mere
party politics. The peculiar circum-
stances under which Mr.. Hayes took
up the reins of government evoked
bitter opposition from the democ-
racy; but the country was pros
porous during his incumbency of the
presidential chair, and, however the
politicians may have regarded his
administration, the people as a
whole had no fault to find with it.
