To the Butter and Cheese Makers
OF Vermont,

The Vermont Butter and Cheese
Makers Association was organized at
st. Albans, January 8, 1898, and will
hold their first meeting at Montpelier,
March 3 and 4, 1898. The success of
this meeting, and also of the associa-
ton, depends largely on the hearty CO.
operation of all butter and cheese max
ers in the state, in fact, all who are in
terested in any way in this line of bust
ness. The programme for this meet
ing will be varied and interesting;
speakers of note will address these
meetings, papers will be read by MEM
bers of the association, each paper to
be followed by discussion. Every sub
ject under discussion will be something
pertaining to creamery or cheese fac
tory work. Liberal prizes will be Of
fered by the association. There will
also be. side prizes given by different
manufacturers of creamery and cheese
factory supplies. The association has
made arrangements for reduced rates
at all the hotels in Montpelier, and have
done, and are doing all in their power to
make this meeting, as well as the future
of this association, successful. Every
butter and cheese maker is earnestly
requested to join the association, at
tend the meeting and send sample of
butter or cheese to compete for the
prizes. F. H. Bickford, Secretary
Bradford, Vt.

Some Advantages of Dairying.

/. The first advantage of dairying
is that it takes less fertility from the
soil than other branches of farming. A
ton of wheat taker 81 out of the farm
and sells for less than SIG. A ton of
butter takes so cents worth of plant
food from the farm and sells from $500
10 5000. Comment is needless.
2. Butter is condensed product.
Nothing can be made or grown on the
farm which brings as much per pound.
Farmers remote from the market and
communities far from railroad send
butter from the farm or creamery with
the least possible expense. The dairy
man can condense tons of fodder and
crops grown on the farm into dairy pro-
pact and portable form.
3. Butter is finished product. 1t
is ready for the consumer either in the
private dairy or local factory or
creamery. The only exception is where
cream is sent long distances to a CEN
trial station from skimmipg stations scat
tered over large section of country.
But this exception only proves the rule.
a. Dairying brings in constant in
come. The man who sells crops of any
kind has to wait until he can market
his product one year. There is little
satisfaction in this. 1t is unbusiness.
like to go without cash for weeks, and
then to have a lot of money come in at
one time. The daiiyman has an income
nearly or quite fifty.two weeks in year.
8. Dairying gives constant, remuner-
alive employment. The grain or pc.
ta.o grower must spend large part of
the year in enforced and demoralzing
iddleness, but the dairyman finds profit
able work through the year, and his
work is most profitable during the win
ter time.
6. On the dairy farm the work is
better divided. The grain harvest comes
so close TO haying that it often gets
mixed up with it, to the detriment of
both; but when corn is grown and put
into silo for dairy feed, and not so
much or no grain raised, the harvests
are several weeks apart.
z. Skill and brain work get better
pay in dairying than in any other branch
of farming. To produce fine dairy pro-
ducts requires something besides hard
work. The dairyman must have knowl-
edge and skill and exercise great care.
8. There is more room at the top,
greater opportunities to improve, than
in any other farm work. Cows produce
from $50 to 500 pounds of butter per
year, and butter sells from 10 to 60 cents
per pound. No other branch shows
anything like this, or gives such
chance to rise.
8. Take the country through, there
is no kind of farm work 80 well suited
to women as dairying.
10. Dairying leads to thoughtfulness
for the comfort of animals, and thus
tends to morality. To do her best the
cow must be made as comfortable as
possible in every way. She will tolerate
no neglect or cruelty. She is teacher
of gentleness and kindness.
IL. Dairying is the most progressive
branch of farming.
-. Dairying pays better than any
other branch of farming, both actually
and prospectively.-Exchange.

Using barn cellars for either fertiliz.

rapidly passing out of public favor

Seed corn is liable to injury during
the winter unless it is stored in dry
place. There is considerable moisture
in corn, and it can be affected by frost.
Selected corn is hung up in a loft,
where it is warm and dry, and also ex-
amined frequently. 1t is important to
give seed corn attention, as failure to
germinate during the spring may throw
next years crop back by compelling re-
planting.

had determined to mako several
speeches in tho State during the

will not be delivered at tho regular
campaign meetings, but at points to

what would DO tho burden Of tho
speeches, tho speaker said that thoy
would be in dofcnso Of tho dis,en-
sary system and tho Reform y, rty.
1t is said that Senator Tillman in.
tends to take n hand on these lines
notwithstanding tho fact that his
elder brother is expected to at ack

Tho time is rapidly coming for

A DRAMATIC SCENE.


occasion of the address arose very
unexpectedly. The national quaran-
tine bill was under discussion, and
Senator Mallory (Fla.) had been rec
ognized for speech in opposition to
the pending measure. Mr.. Frye en-
tered the chamber, and interrupting
Mr.. Mallory, requested him to yield
to Mr.. Proctor, who desired to make
q statement concerning his observa-
tions in Cuba, of interest to the Sen
ute and to the country.
PRooToR's STATEMENT.
Mr.. Proctor, in beginning, stated
that his trip was entirely unofficial
and was not suggested by any one.
Mr.. Proctor said, in part:
"Of General Lee I need say little.
His valuable services to his country
in his trying position are too woll
known to all his countrymen to re-
quire mention. Beside his ability,
high character and courage, he pos
sesses the important requisites Of un-
failing tact and courtesy, and withal,
his military education and training
and his soldierly qualities are in
valuable adjuncts in the equipment
of onr representative in country so
completely under military rules as is
Cuba" .".. ......
Senator Proctor also eulogized
Brice and Barker.
ut has been. stated that I said
there was no doubt the Maine was
blown up from the outside" he con-
tinued. "This is a mistake. Imay
have said that such was the general
impression among Americans IN
Havana. In fact, I have no opinion
about it myself, and carefully
avoided forming one"
Senator Proctor described the
places he had visited and of the war
like conditions of things on the
island outside Of Havana. The or
der of concentration has produced
desolation. He told of Weyler's
order for concentration and of the
effect it had had upon the concen-
trados.
Continuing, he said:

"The execution of this order was
left largely to the gnerillas to
