OUR MAPLE SUGAR CROP.

VERMONT's IMPORTANT PRODUCT.
Forbes in the Boston Journal gives the
following summary of this important
Vermont product:
The maple sugar season in Vermont
has been fully an average one 80 far as
the quantity produced is concerned,
while the quality Of the crop is superior
to the yield OF former years. Improved
methods of making sugar have been
quite generally adopted by the farmers
of the state in the last few years, and as
consequence the product of the maple
orchards commands better average
price than formerly.
The total production of sugar for the
season of 1888 is estimated at Is 900, 600
pounds, including 900, 900 gallons Of sir
up. The value Of the crop is not far
from $l,250.000, A considerable pro-
portion of the crop is marketed in tubs,
which brings from to cents less per
pound than when made in cakes. The
sugar producing capacity of the maple
forests in the State is estimated to be
fully 10000, 900 pounds, 1t being COM
puted that but 5000 900 out of total of
10 900 900 trees are now tapped for sap.
TIE annual average yield of sugBr has,
however, been gradually increased since
1910, when the production was less than
one-half what 1t is at the present time.
The total product of maple sugar and
strip in the United States in 1880 was
so 100000 pounds. Vermont leading all
other States in the amount annually
produced. The market for maple sugar
has been extended from year to year,
until to-day this product is shipped to
all parts of the world With view OF
the interests of sugar makers
and increasing the manufacture and sale
of the article, the Vermont Maple Sugar
was recently established, with
hea quarters at Brattleboro. Tie pri-
mary objects of this organization are to
secure better markets for the sugar pro-
duct and to protect the industry, so far
as possible, from the evil effects of adul-
teration, which is carried on 80 largely
outside of the State. The Exchange
has trade mark and guarantees the
purity of all sugar which IL handles, In
furthering and extending its business
after this year, it is expected that
branch exchanges or depots OF deposit
will be established in each county in the
State as a matter of convenience to the
producers ind to save charges of freight
transportation,

The Albany Jou nal has been collect
ing the opinions OF farmers as to the eff
feet of the removal Of the tariff on wool,
Simpson Brothers, OF Jackson, say: 1--WE
are OF the opinion that the wool industry
is too deeply rooted to justify the pro.
posed removal of the tariff on that arti.
Gle. While it is true that those farmers
whom President Cleveland has IN mind
with small hocks Of perhaps 25 sheep,
would not greatly feel the loss which
free wool would probably bring to
them, yet we cannot forget that many
farmers have larger flocks on which
they are literally dependent for their
livelihood; and, more important. the
protection of sheep is but part Of the
great scheme of protection of American
Industries. To this we are thoroughly
committed. Republicans in federal con.
troll have trimmed the tariff wisely from
time to time. This. OF course, must be
continued, as the system Of duties like
taxation can never fall with perfect
equality on all. To approximate this 10
the work of statesmen. We are both
for Mr.. Blaine. All the men from
Maine that we know are all wool a yard
wide and they never give way in the
heel.

ABOUT CLOVER
AND
TIMOTHY SEEDS.

The wsshington-Noyes Seed Co., OF Bingham
ton, N. Y, says:
"PRIME" in the seed trade, Is that quality or
grade which represents the average Of either
Clover or Timothy. as 1t is received in the large
markets from country shippers.
"CHoICE" is simply Of a little better appear
ance and not quite so dirty as prime.
Doth those grades whether Timothy or Glove
are more or less foul with WEED SEEDS, sand and
other waste, This waste when paid for in seed
bought by the farmer costs him, in Time thy from
to cents per pound, and in Clover from 10 to
Is cents pound.
Every farmer knows that the loss caused by
weeds is great, but he does not know as well as
he might that nearly all the seed found In the
ordinary channels OF trade is unfit to sow.
The weed seeds almost always found in the
Timothy on sale in the stores, are Yellow Daisy.
White Daisy, Plantation, Pepper Grass, Thistle,
Pig Weed, Rag Weed, and Wild Carrot; and in
Clover, Lance Leaf or Buckhorn Plantain, Wide
Leaf Plantain, Smart Weed, Wax Weed. Sorrel,
etc., etc.
To EXAMINE Timothy or Clover so as to know
anything about it, requires more than to take up
little on wet finger, or even to take somei n
the hand and "guess at it Put at least half a
tescup full upon a large sheet of clean white pa
per- spread out thin, and look carefully for sand
waste or weed seeds.
We suggest that farmers and dealersl might
easily become better judges of the purity Of seed
and for their own protection should give the mat
ter careful attention
We remove weed seeds and waste by new pro-
cesses and machinery of which we have the sole
and exclusive use, Our grades are not simply
selections from occasional lots set aside for a
fancy price, but are special productions, upon
which we have based an extensive business en-
terprise. 1t is our purpose to supply pure seeds
at a reasonable price and and upon this basis we
already have the patronage of many Of the most
experienced and careful buyers in the world.

At the dinner OF the St. George Society
in New York on Monday night, Profess
sor Goodwin Smith improved the oppor-

which he attacked home rule for Ireland
with all the force at his command. 1t
CHANGED that Chauncey NJ. Depew was
present at the dinner, and when his
turn came to speak he took up the
cudgels for the Irish cause and 80 We

emergency and that the Irish cause had

The New York Aldermen have, by a
vote of2O to 3, passed over Mayor Hew-
tits veto, the resolution in relation to
displaying flags on the City Hall.
This action grew out of his refusal to
allow the Irish flag to be raised ON ST.
Patrick's day. He took the ground, as
will be remembered, that flag is an
emblem Of sovereignty, and that only
the flags of the United States and the
State of New York should float from
the public buildings of that city.

The w. C. T. U. department in an ex-
change says: Mrs. NJ. II. Hunt, of
Massachusetts, has brought majority
of the voters who will rule this country
at the opening of the next century under
laws which make scientific instruction
as to alcoholics and narcotics compul-
sorry in the common schools. Her sue
cess in this effort is an eighth wonder
of the world. More than thirty states
and territories are now under the new
laws requiring scientific temperance in
struction. 1t was Mrs. Hunt who said,
The Star of Bethlehem for temperance
cause hangs over the schoolhouse. She
is a modest lady, and, although at the
head of the department of Scientific
Temperance Instruction for the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union, her
successes in legislative halls are by no
means as often heralded by the press as
events of lesser moment. l doubt not
that her name is destined to sparkle on
the extended forefnger of History when
a better age than ours makes up its
jewels. The temperance textbooks
authorized by Mrs. Hunts department
and its advisers, have as authors many
of the foremost educators and scientific
authorities of the land"
