Purchasing Agent Saves Money.
burlington News. J.

The Burlington News, in calling at
tention to the report of the state pur-
chasing agent, Dewey It. Hanley,
for the biennial period closing June
80, 1914, states that it is unable to
lind any notation therein of the cost
of his department. The, report, how
ever, states that. tue. cost of the pur-
chasing agency for the two years
covered was $1l;240 There is no
question about the business efficiency
of q state purchasing agent. 1t Is
Applying a necessary adjunct Of all
large and successful corporations to
the corporation of Vermont. While Mr.
Hanley report docs not give def
mite statement as to the saving that
has been made. to Vermont since this
department was inaugurated some
thing over two years ago, it is SAFE
to say that it has aggregated u good
deal more than its expense. We should
be surprised, indeed, if it has not ef
fected saving of ut least $4,000 il
| the two years.

MIR. Vail S Gift.
Rutland Herald. }

The offer by Theodore n Vail OF tue
Lyndon agricultural and industrial
school to the state of Vermont. With
such land as may be necessary for the
conduct thereof, is in q sense the most
important proposal that has been made
to the state in a decade.
The work of this school has attract.
ed attention all over the United
States and the efforts Of Mr.. Vail to
encourage self-support have been of
the greatest value to Vermonters of
moderate means, who desire their chill.
dren to receive practical education
without being subjected to the heavy
costs of college life.
Most important, also, have been the
efforts made toward simplicity and
good taste, the homemade graduation
gowns of the girls, costing nominal
sum, being case in point.
| The school is admirably eqai2pel,
situated adjacent to Mr.. Vail S model
farm at Speedwell, which has been not
able for the introduction of Brown
Swiss cattle into Vermont as dual
purpose animals and for other con.
structiye agricultural experiments OF
the same Importance.
Apparently there is no Estring'' at
| Idtucu 70 TINS pflHce4F gut. --. All tbt
state has to do is tn take over and
run the school, thus saving the heavy
initial outlay that such an enterprise
entails.
As it appears to The Herald, Mr
Vail proposes to turn over to Vermont
a working plant worth $4,000, tht
only proviso being that the state viii
proceed to run the school
These facts have been briefly ant
lucidly set before the members of thu
legislature in Mr.. Wallis letter. I
would seem to The Herald as though
there would be little argument agains
it, provided, always, Vermont is t,
modernize her educational system OIL

of which Mr.. Vail is a member.

Bond Held by Trustee in Burlington

BUTTER KEEPS WELL.

In your issue Of September p
g. T. Burrows gives an account
of a quarter of beef exhibited in
Lordon that had been frozen for
lS years, and on INSPECTION was
found to be still sweet and
sound. The following shows the
Importance of a cold, even tenn
perature for the preservation Of
butter: At the Red Tavern at
Towanda, Pennsylvania, then
kept by William Means. a firkin
of butter containing 100 pounds,
tightly headed, was lowered into
a deep well, to be kept cool un-
til wanted for use. In lowering
it the rope broke and the butter
went to the bottom of the well,
which half full of water. After
spending considerable time grap-
ping for it and knowing that to
pump all the water out and 60
down for its recovery would be
hard disagreeable job, the pro-
prietor concluded to leave it
where it was until more con-
venient season. Butter was CHEAP
(only IL IL cents per pound,
and in case it was not recovered
the loss would not be great.
Thirty years afterward the
well had to be cleaned for san;
tary reasons. It was pumped
dry, and the firkin of butter was
found imbedded in the mud at the
bottom Of the well. On opening
the frkin the butter was found
to be as sweet and well favored
in every respect as when it was
lost. In the meantime butter had
increased in price to Is cents per
pound.-J. w. Ingham, Bradford

He was tickled to death. He
said that heretofore he simply
