Marketing Bulletin Issued.

Commissioner of Agriculture z. s
Brigham has Just issued GA page bull.
letin on the marketing of farm products
This bulletin was prepared by William
W. Higgins, associate editor of The
Rural New Yorker. 1t gives general
discussion of the subject of marketing
farm products, much, detailed informa.
ton regarding the different packages in
use for shipment, and discussion OF
methods of grading and packing all
kinds of fruits, vegetables, dairy and
poultry products, hay, etc, grown in
Vermont.
The introduction by Commissioner
Brigham shows that the purpose of this
bulletin is to place in the hands of
Vermont farmers information regarding
the present machinery in use for the
marketing of farm products. If prod
ucts are better prepared for marketing
and packed in more attractive packages
for shipment, larger return may be
realized on the produce. 1t is now no
common thing to see in any of our large
eastern markets fruits, vcgeta bles, dairy
and poultry products, shipped for dist
anee of over 1000 miles selling for much
better prices than similar products
shipped from nearby town simply be-
cause the products shipped from the
greater distance have been better stand
ardized, better packed and prepared for
market.
The aim in Vermont should clearly
be able to develop cooperative organ
izations so that larger volume of prod
uce can be collected and properly
standardized for shipment but, while
this is the goal to be worked for, the
condition of the individual shipper may
meanwhile be improved by making
use of the information contained in this
bulletin.
Copies will be sent free upon appli-
cation to E. s. Brigham, commissioner
of agriculture, st. Adams, Vt.

Whereas, Silently as the wings of the
morning, the Silent Reaper, Death, has
again entered our field and taken into
the great grange above our beloved
brother, w. G. Nye, whom we were Ill
prepared to spare from our ranks, there
fore, be it
Resolved, That we bow in humble
submission to the win of Him "who doth
not willingly affliet the children OF
men," remembering on this occasion,
when we have to pay our last tribute OF
love and respect to his memory, what
the Psalmist says. "As for man, his
days are as grass, but the mercy OF the
Lord is from everlasting to everlasting.
Resolved, That we honor the memory
of our departed brother by emuiating
his example of fraternity, as evidenced
in his life, the influence of which will be
felt long years after the mortal body
has crumbled into dust; the cheerful
words and frateernal handclasps that
made Others happy will never die. The
grange and the home are saddened by
the death of this brother, but heaven is
made richer.
Resolved, That copy OF these reso-
buttons be forwarded to the bereaved
wife and family, that copy be sent to
The Barre Daily Times for publication,
also that a page in The grange records be
set aside for memorial to him.

William A. Brady's production OF

be presented at the opera house tonight

| is in truth the story of the four Alcott
girls, the daughters OF Amos Bronson
Aleott. Brought up in the atmosphere
OF "plain living and high thinking,
with Emerson, Thoreau and Hawthorne
as neighbors and family friends, what
wonder that the reader of to-day is
startled by the modern spirit which Miss
Alcott, the 10 of the story, has put into
her little bookf
The first three acts of laid in the
Alcott sitting room, which is repro
duced, the room in which the little wom-
en- actually lived and from which Meg
went forth as bride; where 10 wove
her little romances and watched the
children as they Jared forth to try their
fortunes, from which little Beth, the
household saint of the AIcott family,
went out into the Great Beyond; and
from which Amy, the Alcott baby,
stepped forth filled with hope and am
bition for an artistic career, only to
find all her happiness in the love Of the
man she subsequently married.--Ady.
