DAIRY SCHOOL BUILDING.
Hearing Before Joint Agricultural
Committee

hearing, before the joint COM
mittee on Agriculture, relating to the
bill appropriating SEQ. coo for a dairy
school building at the State Agrioul-
tural College, was held in ReIresen-
tatives hall on Thursday evening.
Prof. ]. L. Hills, of the experim emit
station, made a strong showing of the
needs of the station which this bill is
intended to supply. BY storeopticon
views he showed what Other States
| are doing for their agricultural
schools Vermont and Indian Terri
tory are alone in not possessing such
an Agricultural building as is now
| desired.
The total appropriation of Vermont
to the university is $1,000 per year,
only small part of which can be
devoted to the use of the department
| of agriculture. Only seven per cent
OF the income of that department is
derived from the State. Private gifts
and the income from the United
| States government, on $135, 900 land
grant bonds form the principal income
of the school. From 1891. whsn the
| University was established, until
1883 Vermont did nothing for the col
lege. In that year Sc, 900 was given
for scholarships, etc., and Sc, 600 for
the agricultural department. But the
nj otl n nf ny xra IN
/ heuetactors and the trustees of the
/ University have kept the school run
ming. So crowded and plnohed is
/ the room that the dairy school has
81 sd aud the college itself cannot do
satisfactory work
Prof. Hills argued that this appro-
priation should be made because, in
accepting the land grants, the State
tacitly promised to house the school.
Other States expend thousands of dol
lars when in Vermont scarcely ex-
ponds cents The State is in the van
in agriculture and has a large at
tendance at it's agricultural college.
In the other New England States the
amounts devoted to this cause annual
ly vary from $40, 900 to Sl25, 600. Yer
mont should build this Morrill, Hall,
since Justin S. Morrill, was the father
of the agricultural college bill in
Congress. The speakers statements
were strongly backed by statistics.
Following Prof. Hills address the
chairman called on the following
gentlemen, all of whom spoke warmly
in favor of the passage of the bill
Senators Pierce and Fletcher, Repre-.
sentatives Hawley, Shipman, Morse
and Eddy. The chairmen of the com
mittees spoke warmly in favor Of the
bill and paid high compliment tt
the work of the school aud to its fac.
ulty. The latter they characterized
as men who are considered the bes
men in their lines by the United
States department of agriculture ant
are used by it.

RATS VED LIVES.

Boston, Oct. 20. The flight of

from being buried by a cave in the

block, took fright when they saw a
swarm of rats coming on towards
them. AS the men ran the bank

THE FOOT BALL GAME.

Burlington, Oct. "a, Re enforced
by the presence of Captain Newton,
with Gerrish at quarterback, and with
the team strengthened in the line. the
University of Vermont football team
succeeded in tying the score with the
team from Tufts college at Athletic
Park Saturday afternoon in one of the
fastest and cleanest games of football
seen in this city for some time.
Tufts scored the first touch dow II
after about fifteen minutes of play.
This was the only scoring done in the
first half. In the second half, the
ball was carried mp and down the
field, until within about five minutes
of the end of the game. With the
bs II on her thirty-five yard line, Yer,
mont settled down, her line becomi np
stone wall for the Tufts backs. By
a series of end runs and some heavy
line buoking, Captain Newton, Miner,
Gerrish and Wilson succeeded in ad
vancing the ball to Tufts's l5-yard
line. All through this time enthusi
asm was at high pitch and the Yer
mont rooters yelled themselves hoarse
With but two minutes of play left
Gerrish went around left end on
quarterback run and scored touch
down. Miner kicked the goal making
the score Vermont 8, Tufts 6.

DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM - Gradual
loss of strength and nerve force told
me something was radically wrong
with me. L had severe shooting pains
through the pelvic organs, cramps and
extreme irritation compelled me 10
seek medical advice. The doctor said
that had ovarian trouble and ulcera-
ton, and advised an operation. 1
strongly objected to this and decided
to try Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound. soon found that
my judgment was correct, and that all
the good things said about this medi-
cine were true, and day by day felt
less pain and increased appetite. The
liberation soon healed, and the other
complications disappeared, and in
eleven weeks / was once more strong
and vigorous and perfectly well.
