Butter


Mr.. Bell believes that the amount OF
butter produced by creameries is about
threefourths the total amount pro-
duced in the state. He also says
that the output of this product has
been somewhat curtailed because sew
eral factories had ceased TO make it,
and were shipping the cream TO city
markets, practice that is rapidly in
creasing.
The census of 1900 showed that Yer
mont produced about 50, 090, 600 in dali
~ products in 1899. but Mr.. Bell be-
lieves that the value of the output in
1902 was considerably above this fig
ure. showing that Vermont's chief in
dustry is having a steady growth.
That interest in Vermont is increas-
ing in the outside world is evident
from the fact that when Mr.. Bell first
became secretary of the board, letters
of inquiry concerning the state were
seldom received. Now hardly a day
passes that letters are not received
asking about some feature of the
states agricultural industry or its
abandoned farms Mr.. Bell told
of one foreigner who travelled through
the state and was so charmed with the
beauty of its scenery that he wrote to
inquire if the woodlands along the
sides were wild lands be-
longing to the state, and if so, how a
tract could be secured.

STATE OF CROPS IN VERMONT.
Secretary Bell Gives Some Interesting In
formation.

! lOImkblOu.
A despatch from Montpelier to the
st. Adams Messenger contains an in.
terview with G. j. Bell, secretary OF
the state board OF agriculture.
The first topic discussed was the
state of crops In Vermont. Notwith-
standing that week OF rain has fol-
lowed the disheartening drouth ofApril,
May and early June, Mr.. Bell says
that the general outlook for crops OF
every kind is anything but bright.
Concerning the hay crop, he says that
on valley and level farms where the
land is in good state of cultivation,
the prospect is fair, but on the hill
lands and poorly cultivated ground it
is extremely doubtful il the yield
amounts to anything. The outlook
for clover, too, is poor. In sections
visited by the severe frosts Of few
weeks ago, the first crop of clover is
lost, but he believes the second growth
may prove all right.
Mr.. Bell called attention to one
blessing of the season that has been
generally overlooked, namely, the alb
sence of grasshoppers. He stated that
he had seen none whatever, and that
inquiry in various sections Of the state
brought like information.
Concerning corn, he said that seed
planted late was coming on satisfacto-
rily, but where it was planted about
May % or earlier, the chance of a crop
is very uncertain. The potato crop,
also, is uncertain, and much of the
land devoted to potatoes will have to
be replanted or seeded to some other
crop. In the matter of pastures. Mr..
Bell thinks there will be a shortage all
summer, as most of them cannot pos
sibly recover from the effects of the
dry season.
From the rather discouraging topic
of crops the conversation turned to
the more cheerful one of dairying in
terests After trying for several years
to get some reliable yearly information
concerning the output of Vermont
creameries and cheese factories. Mr.
Bell says that he has been successful
in securing an almost complete report
for the year 1902. A few establish
ments did not report, but the output
of these was carefully estimated, and
the result is as follows by counties:

CATTLE QUARANTINE LIFTED.
Foot and Mouth Disease Stamped 0ut-Has
Cost Thousands Of Dollars.

After months OF work on the part O
the inspectors of the United States bu
reau of animal industry, New England
Is declared to be free from all traces o.
the foot and mouth disease and tn,
cattle embargo is to be removed.
Farmers and cattle raisers, dairymen,
those engaged in the meat business,
and railroad and steamship companie.
are all rejoicing. Indirectly, OF course,
the quarantine has reached much far
Their than to these classes and there il
general satisfaction at the announce.
ment.
1t was not until some months after
cattle shipments were stopped in Maine
that the foot and mouth disease was
discovered among some New Hamp.
shire cattle shipped to Boston for
slaughter, and a state and then fed
eral quarantine was established. Since
then no live cattle have been permit
ted to be shipped out Of the state or
moved from place to place in towns
where the presence Of the disease was
suspected Large numbers of cattle
have been killed by order Of the inspec-
tors The last New Hampshire legis-
lature appropriated $4,000 for partial
naturalization of New Hampshire cat
tie raisers for their losses through the
killing of infected stock.
The loss on account of the cattle EN-
barge will run up into millions of dol
lars. Shippers have lost very heavily,
and it will be long time, say experts,
unless extraordinary conditions arise,
before these losses are recouped Bos-
ton and Portland have for months had
to sit quietly by and see their accus-
toned expectation of cattle in the
hands of Montreal, New York, Phila-
delphia and Baltimore. An idea of the
loss may be had from the statement
that the average weekly shipments of
cattle amount to 10, GOO head.
The announcement of the resumption
of cattle shipments has been good news
to the Boston shippers and steamship
owners. They will have profitable car
goes from Boston. Had not this an
come at this time it is I'M
derstood to have been highly probable
that vessel owners would have put
some of their tonnage out of commits
sion, such stagnation had come about
in shipping circles on account of the
loss of the cattle freight.
Concerning the attitude of Great
Britain in this matter commercial
of Boston makes the state
ment that the British government
places the utmost confidence in the eff
ficiency of DR.. Symons Of the agricult
lral department at Washington. What
ever he recommends will be promptly
without any question by Great
Britain's officials and just as soon as
ne declares the country free from foot
md mouth contagion, England will de-
clare her ports open once more to ship
nents of cattle from Boston.

Nearly Caught Mapping.

Just before the noon hour today,
Representative Keliin oi, for and on
behalf OF the Maui delegation, at
tempted to foist neat trick upon
the House by presenting a report
for the needs ofthe County OF Maui
covering appropriations in the
Loan Bill 10 the sum of $228,6O6, an
excess OF $4,000 over the Maui pro.
rata OF $l84 ,65l 5S. This no doubt
would have aesn adoptel, had not
r 'prssentativs Purdy, Chairman OF
the Committee on Accounts, moved
that the Clerk sum up tho total, ia
order to compare with Maui's just
pro.rats, and shat caught tho cat
mapping in its lair. When the
Clerk had made the footing, aft er a
recess had been ordere3, "the b .g-
ging Cbiet" Immediately Withdrew,
taking from tho Clerk his hoggish
report, and decamped, in the mean
time presenting proper report,
which was treated as a substitute,
footing $l84.610, just $hl.5S short
of it's pro-rata a. had bssn decided
upon previously Much laughter
was created over this aud cries OF
"Maui hogs" you're found out"
etc, were heard on nearly every side.
Had Chairman Andrade been blind
aud not taken heed to bill" Pur-
dy's caution, Maui would no doubt
have had a c!esn walk,over over
the other Counties, which all must
thank Representative Chillingworth
for moving to adopt that fraud re-
port But the trick wa, good one,
all the same,
