2 NEWS AND CITIZEN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 1856. DAIRYMEN'S MEETING. TUESDAY. The Vermont State Dairymen's As ociatiun met at Rutland Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday oi last week. A large representation was present and great interest. The ad dress of welcome was made by Mayor J. A. bbeJdon, to wbich Kollin C. Smith responded in behalf of the as sociation. The annual address of President J. 0. Sanford was full of interesting suggestions, lie briefly outlined the past and present conditions of dairy ine in Vermont and showed the atti tude the association should take relative to the various economic questions that enter into the daily life of the dairyman. Wednesday afternoon's session was opened by T. G. Broneon of Hard wick, who read a paper on "Private dairying." Mr. Broneon said, in part, that the markets of the present day had no use whatever for iuferior products of the dairy, but demanded the ven. best article that could be produced. lie referred to the increas ing manufacture of oleomargarine as having destroyed the demand for poor butter in the large cities. Mr. J. E. Gale of Guilford read a paper on "Economic foods for the dairy cow," showing the relative values of farm grown foods, and the more con centrated mill foods. A discussion of these papers followed. 7j. A. Gil bert, editor of the Maine Farmer, was present and made a few remarks as also did Prof. Sanford of the New Hampshire Experiment farm. The evening session was conducted by the Ladies' Auxiliary association. Mrs. Luna S. Peck of Brook field, pres. ident of the association, gave a very interesting address, showing the growth of the auxiliary during the paet year. All the addresses and papers were of the highest order and showed a growing interest on the part of the ladies in making the farm homes of Vermont more attractive and homelike. WEDNESDAY. The second day was as largely at tended as the opening day. The fol lowing officers were elected for the coming year: Hon. J. O. Sanford of Stamford, president; S. J. Hastings of Passumpsic, first vice-president; I. C. Smith of Pitteford, second vice president; George VV. Pierce, secre tary; H. W. Vail treasurer; George Aitkin of Woodstock, auditor. The morniDg session was given to the discussion of bovine tuberculosis. Hons. C. M. VVinslow and V. I. Spear made the addresses of the morning, speaking from their experience dur ing the past year on the cattle com mission. They reported having in epeeted a large number of herds and condemned all diseased animals operation 02 the part of the dairy men of the 6tate in stamping out the disease. Their judgment was that Vermont , dairies were in a much healthier condition than those found by the commissioners of surrounding States. The afternoon session was devoted to associated dairying. Z.Gilbert, of the Maine Farmer, read an able paper on 'The Farmers' side of Asso ciated Dairvinrr." W. Kcnr-ft" raro a. statement of the effects of dairy men and butterir,t;n pn the legitimate driiry interests of Vermont- "vae of the features of the after noon session was the awarding of premiums on cheese and butter. There were a larger number of exhib its and a higher average soore than in former years. The sweep-stakes premium of the gold medal was awarded to K. F. Jaynes, butter maker of the Jersey Hill creamery, Kvgate, for live pound prints scoring 97. The evening session was devoted to practical addresses by P. J. Bell, master of Vermont State GraDge, and others. Ouite a lively interest was created by a rumcr that a package of oleo margarine or butterine had been smuggled into the exhibits and en tered as "dairy butter." Great curi osity was expressed by many of the dairymen as to how it would fare in the hands of the judges, E. A. Harris and O. Douglass of Boston. The former served as one of the judges at the Columbian fair at Chicago, aud both are recognized as the most noted judges of butter and cheese in Hew England. They scored the oleo margarine as butter, but when testing it remarked that it tasted like but terine. The dairymen are jubilant over the outcome of the matter, a the judg ment comes from the highest authority in New England and clearly shows that oleomargarine is not in it with Vermont butter. THURSDAY. The convention adjourned Thurs day afternoon after a three days' session, whiuh was pronounced one of the most interesting and instruct ive meetings ever held by the associ ation. The morning session was given to discussion of methods in vlieese production. The exhibit of cheese showed that Vermont facto ries were nt the front in qu i ity of production and the quantity is on ib increase. The afternoon session was on the .topic of fertilizers, their composition And relative values. Prof. J. L. , .Hills handled the subject in a force ful and comprehensive manner. His address called out a good deal of dis cussion as to home made fertilizers t. commercial brands. HTbe Ladies' Auxiliary held their business meeting and elected the fol lowing officers: Mrs. A. C. A. Ware of Brattleboro, president; Mrs. C. F. Hmith of Morrisville, vice-president; firn. May Kibbee of Brookfield, h;c- retary. The ladies' Auxiliary have proven to be a great help in creating interest in the meetings of the associ ation. After passiDg a suitable et of complimentary resolutions the convention adjourned. No place ba9 yet been selected for holding the next convention, but the pressing invitations from Newport, St. Jobnsbury, and Montpelier in dicate that one of these places will be selected.

The first day will be devoted to the read ing of the reports of the officers and a campfire, and the second day to the election and installation of offi cers. Commander-in-chief I.N.Walker of Indianapolis, Ind., will be present and deliver an address at the camp fire. The Woman's Relief corps will nrobablv hold its annual encamD- meut in Rutland at this time, Kindness. Do not be afraid of spoiling any one with kindness. It can't be done. Iostead of spoiling it beautifies the character, cheers the heart and helps to raise the burden from shoulders which, though brave, sometimes grows verv tired. Let not a little coldness frighten you away, for under a frigid exterior there is always to be found a tender chord which is to be touched by kindness, and which responds in beautiful harmonies to those little acts of court sy that are to the heart as sunshine is to the Struggling plant. Exchange. During the year 1893 Judge Lynch carried out 171 executions in this country. Such a record is by no means creditable, but there is some cause for congratulation in the fact that the numner of such crimes is twenty-three less than during the previous year. The lynchings were divided among twenty-four states and territories, but while there were 140 in the South there were but twenty-five in the North. Of the total number lynched, 112 were negroes, nine of them being women. If Virginia, Mississippi and certain other southern states adopt the ant i lynching measures which ure now urged, the number of illegal execu tions in ensuing years will be materi ally reduced. And it is high time. It is rumored that a daily paper will soon be started at Barre. Recommended by 77 T7 U 3 1 - ,m mm mm Baking Powder is itself a Nutritious Food. No other powder has this quality. A WILD RIDE. St. J. & L C Knglneer'a Thrilling Ex- perieuce on a Kunaway Train. Engineer B. G. Sawyer of the St. J. & L. C. road, and bis assistants, on the special through freight ast, had a wild ride down the mountain on Wednesday of last week, running from Danville to St. Johnsbury on a runaway freight train. Sawyer jumped as they neared the yard at St. Johnsbury and sustained a broken arm and, it is feared, inter nal injuries. E. B. Story, the fire man, too frightened to jump, re mained on the engine and escaped injury, though the engine left the track in the yard and got back on again, leaving all the cars off the track. The train of 18 loaded cars hauled by engine 4G8 left SwantoD Tuesday evening. Fiye cars text to the eDgine were supplied with air brakes but the rest of the train was dependent upon toe Drakeman in the van in the rear. Next to the rear car was a load of machinery over or by which the brakeman could not pass when Saw yer called for help. From Danville to St. Johnsbury about 12 mile, there is a down grade of 1G0 feet to the mile. The train got entirely beyond control at Pump kin hill and for five miles it went at a terrible rate. It was one chance in a thousand that every man on the train was not killed. Several years ago James Dee, en gineer, had a similar experience with a runaway train and smashed clear through the yard at St. Johnsbury but strangely enough escaped injury. Sawyer's home is at Swanton. Revolutionary Pensioners. Vermont had at the beginning of the year 1895 three living pensioners of the Revolutionary War,all residing within a few miles of one another. The closing days of the year witness ed the death of one of this trio of pensioners, Aunt Patty Richardson, who died at Est Bethel, Dec. 28. She was in her 9Gth year, and was born in Hampden, Conn. Her maid en name was Pattie Flint, and she re moved in infancy with her parents to Braiutree, Vermont. She married Godfrey M. Richardson March 12, 1830. Mr. Richardson lived in Cam bridge, Massachuetts, when the Rev lutionary War began. Just before the battle of Bunker Hill young Rich ardson joined the Minute Men, and worked at building the redoubts on Breed's Hill, and fought the British the next day. Mr. Richardson came to Royalton, Vermont, in 1781, and' cleared a farm in the forest. He built a log cabin and passed the re mainder of his life. Patty Flint was the second wife of Mr. Richardson, by whom she had five children. She lived withfiT son-in-law, Philander C. House, after the death of her hus band.

All members present except the 1st vice-president, VV. W. Cooper. The Board of Control convenes only once in two years, so fhese semi-annual cabinet meetings are duly important. The first item of business was the question of closer relations with the Young People's Society of Christian Eodeavor. Nearly four years ago, Rev. Francis E. Clark, president of that society, visited our Cabinet and suggested certain plans for co-operation. He was cordially received and a commit tee at once appointed to confer with a committe from the Christian En deavor. Their committee was not appointed, however, until a few weeks ago. It was decided to appoint a ne committee the conference to be held in Chicago on Dec. 14, a report of which we hope to give later. Six thousand sets of the reading course have been sold this year and the de mand is 6till good. The 6et for 189G 97 was discussed. It is to consist of four books at a cost of $2.00 for the set. They are to be written especially for us and published by our Book Concern. They will represent as far as possible the various departments of the Leugue wheel. Dr. Nayel gave a most interesting account of the German division of our Epworth army. The Junior League was a subject of much eager discussion. A Junior biography of John Wesley is to be published. Many minor mat ters received attention and the Cabi net adjourned. Epworth Banner. Physicians. ' NEWS NOTES. Discoveries of cold in North Caro lina.

The Maine Legislature has sent a memorial to Congress asking that Lincoln's birthday, February 12, be made a national holiday, lhe prop osition has encountered some oppo sition, not because of any disposition to belittle the greatness of the war president, but because, it is urged, there are already enough national holidays. It is well that the question has been brought up in this form, as it is likely to provoke discussion and arouse public sentiment, which will, of course, govern the deision. Plans for a national university tit Washington multiply. The latest is embodied in a bill introduced in both house and senate, creating a univer sity of the highest type, the govern ment of which is vested in a board of 1G regents, with the president of the Uuited States at its head, and a uni versity council made up of thiee re gents and 12 emiueut educators, representing as many institutions of high rank and belonging to as many states. The University is authorized to establish co-operative relations with other institutions of the country; partisan and sectarian preference are prohibited, and degrees are to be errnnted so as to protect the interests of all institutions entitled to recog nition.
