a,oo0 years ago probably better than it
is now. The Roman villa had furnace
underneath, with hot air flowing in pipes
up the walls and under the floors. Fur
ther than this, i'll every Roman country
house there was Turkish bath arrange
ment. The hot air pipes passed into
small, tight room. There the bather
shut himself up and remained till he
was ready for the plunge bath, which
was attached in all cases to the hot air

WEDNESDAY FORENOON.

I. H. Wheatley of Brookfeld, a
student in the Agricultural college at
Burlington, gave an address upon "the
work of our Agricultural College"
This talk, from one who has taken
course at this institution, was full of
suggestions to the young men of the
state who desire or contemplate such
course. He said that as to subjects
taught at the institution, the first year
was largely of lectures, labratory work
and study Of botany in its relation to
plant growth and microscopic investi-
cation of plant disease. About 40 dis
eases of plants were known of which 20
had been identified. Made pleasant
reference to investigation of plant dis
eases and visits to fruit growers. In
Botany, the work commences with the
lowest forms of vegetable growth.
Water is found to contain from 80 to
40 kinds of bacteria. Some forms of
bacteria are useful, others injurious.
In Mathematics the agricultural course
includes Algebra, Geometry, Trigo-
nometry and Surveying.
In the veterinary work of the institu-
ton practical illustration is provided by
students accompanying DR.. Rich in the
treatment of actual cases. Horses and
cattle are dissected and their structure
illustrated and explained in tile fullest
manner. The principles of breeding
and feeding are also made prominent
subjects from both text book and actual
work being done at the Station.
In the Mechanical department is pro-
vided the largest and best forms of ma
chinery whose operation is made part
of the course. Samples of the work
done in this department were shown
including wood turning, pattern making
and the working of various articles from
iron.
In the Dairy school instruction is
given winters in the handling of dairy
products. The students are taught tC
operate all the various machines fol
separating the cream from the milk anC
in the proper handling of the cream un
til it reaches the finished product. In
struction is also given in the use of th'
Babcock milk test.
In Zoology the course extends iron
the lowest to the highest forms of ami
NAL life.

mems now known. Farmers are re
quested to send to the Station any spec

Mr.. John E. Lewis, a private star
gazer Of Ansonia, Conn, suddenly made
himself famous without intending or at
all expecting it. He is the. one who, for
the first time in history, has been able to
photograph the path of meteor across
the sky. Mcteors pass 80 quick that it
has never been possible to even mark the
track Of one exactly with the naked eye,
but once more photography has shown
that it can do for the astronomer what
not even the largest telescope can accom-
plish. Mr.. Lewis saw glare of bril-
liant light while his eyes were fixed upon
the telescope that carried the camera
with which he was trying to photograph
the comet in the constellation Of An
dromeda. But others saw the meteor
itself, and it was one of the largest.
When Mr.. Lewis developed the photo
graph, there, across the plate, full length,
was heavy, black line. He could not
account for it at first; then he recalled
the fash of light that had appeared
around him. The meteor itself was seen
/ over eastern New York and in Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut.

Meeting of the Board of AgrieaItur..

/
The meeting was opened on Tues
day, Feb. Z, at the Town Hall at
O'clock A. M.
DIR. ID. III. Marden was chosen
chairman. Dea. f. F. Rugg vel.
coined the Board to Londonderry in a
bright and pithy address, which was re.
sponded to in behalf Of the Board by
Mr.. Arms Of Springfield, who then
proceeded to discuss the breeding Of
Dairy stock. The address of Mr..
Arms was followed by remarks from
Mr.. Vail and general discussion of
the subject ON the part of the citizens.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The subject of the afternoon session
was the Dairy and H. w. Vail of
Pomfret gave talk upon some of the
requirements ofgood Dairy work which
included great care in selecting the
right animals and proper care and
feeds. Mr.. Sanford of >tamford con-
tinued the subject giving especial force
to the advantage of dairying as means
of conserving the fertility of the farm,
also the value of different feeds as fer
tilizers. An animated discussion follow
ed on the matter of paying for milk by
weight or test at creameries or cheese
factories. Mr. Vail claimed that the
principle paying for milk by weight
without regard to quality, led to the
breeding of poor cows, to dishonesty in
handling milk and in the end to power
ty by the community that adopted the
method.
EVENING.
j. 0. Sanford of Stamford occupied
a portion of the session in talk upon
the subject of roads. Among other
things he said the progress in all de-
partments and improvements brought
about demanded that the subject of i'm
proved roads be considered seriously by
the people-not subject in which we
can expect to attain our ends at once,
but it is time to consider the matter,
-hink about it and try to ascertain what
is practical in each locality. The i'm
portance of good roads as an induce
nent to Increase the number of Ver-
nont's simmer visitors was also con-
'idered. /
A talk upon mutton sheep then fol-
owed by Mr.. Arms the Importance of
his industry to the general farmer as
IN auxiliary to his other work was
Urged. The high price and great de-
nand for mutton in our markets, the
