Two Barkeepers fined $50 Each for
DIkpeustug rtIeIn.

Police-Justice Richardson is making
it warm for the barkeepcrs of Richmond
who persist in violatngth Sunday liquor
law, and he is determined to increase the
pressure until he has exterminated the
evil.
Soon after the local.option law was
passed by the General Assembly the
hquor-dcalers petitioned for an election
under that law, and, pending the can
yass. of their own accord adopted a re-
solution that in future none of them
would allow the sale of liquor in their
saloons on Sunday. Justice Richardson
Immediately after this action announced
from the bench his determination to
rigidly enforce the law, aud instructed
the police to keep strict watch. The
Justice stated then that h. would impose
q fine of SO for the first offence and so
for the second. Last week, when two
parties were before the court on this
charge and there was great conflict Of
testimony the Justice discharged them,
and stated in future he would double the
fines that he had formerly imposed.

The sugar season .

We give considerable space this week to
articles pertaining to the maple sugar in
dustry. a few years ago the profits of
maple sugar making owing u several
causes-one of which was the extensive
sale of a counterfeit product by city deal
ers-were reduced to pretty small figures.
But better prospect is now in view
There appears to he a large and increasing
demand for pure maple sugar and syrup,
especially for that of gilt-edged quality, al
though all qualities of last years make have
been sold and the whole was too little TO
supply the demand The sugar orchards Of
Vermont may vet have value beyond
what we have before known There is but
a small territory outside of this state that
can compete with us in the best quality Of
maple sugar and syrup and all that we can
make, of this description. is likely TO be
wanted at good prices Thanks TO the gra-
tuitous services of some Of our able and
pubhc-spirited citizens who take pleasure
in aiding To- develop the resources of the
state, this rare product Of Nermont is to be
extensively advertised to the world through
the Maple sugar Exchange So far at
least. all who make maple sugar to sell will
be benefited
We take exception TO one thing recon-
mended hoy Mr. Wheeler in his article on
Maple Sugar and Syrup, found in anoth-
err place TINT Is, painting buckets or tin
pals in the inside. sap cannot remain long
in painted pail without taking a flavor of
paint In few years pail painted in the
inside and used to catch sap, loses the great
err part of the paint it has of course, been
taken up in the sap. If the sap Is strained
three times, as recommended by Mr.. Wheel
er, or three times three, according to Prof
Cook, the particles Of paint will be mostly
or wholly strained out but it would be
better never to have paint in the pail

Nermout correspondent Of the y. L.
Farmer SAYS there was never a better time
o. farm j" in Vermont than the present
Everything excepting wool brings a good
price. and wool cannot always remain
where 1t is The extremely low price Of
farms makes il a good time TO buy Fifty
or sixty years ago farmers ran in debt for
their farms and paid for them they Ger
taiuIv can do it now. The one drawback
j., the price of labor, which has nearly
doubled, vet tits in part ff-set by the labor
saving machines The mower, horse rake
tedder reaper, sowing planting machines
were unknown 80 years ago. What would
tine farmers now think If they had 70 do
their work bv main strength as 80 years
ago. and sell their produce as it was sold
then-butter from 10 70 u cts. pound
cheese 6 cts per pound, eggs $ TO u cts.
per dozen The only market they had for
their potatoes was at the starch factories,
where they brought from 10 to u cts. per
bushel Poultry now brings more than
double Wood brought then from 81 10
$3.50 per cord now from s. to So, and all
kinds Of timber and lumber in the same
proportion Besides, what the farmer has
TO sell now brings the cash 30 years ago it
was mostly store pay, and what they had
to buy then cost double what it does now.
Yet with all these great advantages in ia
vor of the farmers at the present time, in
Vermont farming is not held in as high es-
TEEN as it should be. This can be seen in
the high price Of labor, the low price Of
farms. and the fact that many of the back
farms that once supported large families
are now abandoned

has been going on for the last 40 wears, we
must be making now nearly $4,000, 900

increased, we NAV safely count on ten
cents per pound as the future profitable
price. This would make the entire annual
value of the crop 5 800, 600, an average of
