Extract From Paper Read at Waitsfe Id
by Hon. william Chaplin.

In actual profit above the cost OF produc
ton | doubt if any crop is ahead of this
The amount made in the State has been
constantly increasing, and has nearly or
quite been doubled since 1850. In 1850 by
the 10th census, we made II POI, on pounds
of sugar and 12S09l gallons of syrup,
which at eight pounds to the gallon would
equal l,024, lbs pounds of sugar, making
the total crop in round figures Il, 2S5 sos
pounds. At the same rate of increase that
has been going on for the last 40 years, we
must be making now nearly 5000 600
pounds annually. And as the quality has
increased, we may safely count on
ten cents per pound as the fu.
ture profitable price. This would make
the entire annual value of the crop 81, 500,
600, an average of S42 to every farm in the
State. The %, j22 farms in the State made
an average in 1850 of 346 pounds of sugar
each, or its equivalent in syrup. That is
about the usual annual product of 100
trees Now these same farms average in
size l37 acres, of which ~ acres were
woodland. | think it is perfectly safe to
assume that there are 800 naples fit to tap
on the average Vermont farm. If we
tapped that number we might make at
least 6, 900, 900 pounds and have $4,000 600
pounds TO sell after giving every man,

HOME MATTERS.
CITY AND VICINITY.

The Keeseville stage sported four horse
team as IA result of the storm
A sudden thaw following so great A
snow fall would make bad work.
1t is many years since we have seen
the snow piled up so, in the streets of
Burlington.
Jewellers say there is an unusual de-
mand for black pearls and that they bring
fancy prices.
Extensive Improvements on Providence
island are to be made in prepala, ion for
the coming season.
Water in which onions have been boiled
will, it is said, effectually restore the gild-
ing on picture frames.
A new odd fellows lodge is to be insti-
tuted at Newport in the near future by
Grand Master II. w. Hall.
The woman of fashion this spring will
have more dress goods and patterns to
select from than ever before
There are at present 100 students in the
medical college and there will without
doubt be 200 the last half of the term.
A good recollector says it was immed-
ately after storm, like the present, that
the winter took its departure year ago.
Dealers say that butter is very difficult
to obtain Just at pre- sent and it will be
several days before the supply will be re
newed by that of this springs make.
The new steamer Chateaugay is all en-
closed now and the finishing of her interior
is well advanced. Our lake lovers will
not be disappointed IN the new steamer.
The arrangements for the celebration
of St. Patrick $ day are actively progress
sing and the parade will be one of the
finest things of the kind in the CITY for
many years.
The steam yacht Florence has been
transferred upon runners over land from
Lake George to Lake Champlain. 1t is un.
derstood that II. g. Burleigh will tit it up
for his personal use.
The amount of annual subscriptions to
the fund for the home for aged women
has already reached nearly $1,000, which is
a good start toward the 81 500 which it is
desired to raise in order to open the home
this season.
The meeting of the Champlan Valley
Poultry association called for Wednesday
was further adjourned until Tuesday
evening next at 5 o'clock in the City Court
room. The business will be the annual
election of officers and the selection of a
date for the next exhibition.
Coal consumers say this is the most ex
pensive ainter they have put in for good
while past. While the price has remained
at nearly the same figure as charged dur
ing last winter, the quantity consumed
has been greatly increased. The fact
holds good in both private and public
buildings.
One of Edward Dryers horses while
being driven by Mrs. Harrington became
frightened by snow falling from a roof at
Winooski and ran to this city. Mrs. Har-
rngton was thrown out into the snow
shortly after the horse started but escap-
ed injury. The dashboard was broken but
otherwise no damage resulted.

Chief Arthur spoke truly when he said
the other day that the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers must win in the
strike on the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy road or die as an organization.
There is of course no hope of settling
the strike by arbitration rs long as the
railroad company holds its present atti-
tude that there is nothing to arbitrate.
The fight will probably be fought out to
the end with final victory for one side
and decisive defeat for the other.
Which will win is a mere matter OF
speculation. Both sides appear confident.
The company processes to be able 10 get
Oh without the strikers and its agents
were saying three days ago that they had
all the engineers and fremen they could
handle But the Brotherhood has form
liable weapon in its power to inaugurate
strikes on the connecting roads and by
| this means may be able to bring great
pressure on the Burlington and Quincy
company. Such an exercise of their
power, on the part of the brotherhood
would, however, place 1t in a very BAD
| light before the public. If it undertakes
| to say that because one railroad Will nor
pay the wages It's engineers ASK LOT, no
other railroad shall pay any wages, 1t
will be treading on dangerous ground.
The American people want to travel and
they want their goods carried and they
will countenauce no arbitrary stoppage Of
, the business of the country, because a
single railroad company does not yield to
the demands of the engineers. These viii
will have considerable sympathy from
those who are disposed to regard the pres
ant strike as justitiable or at the most only
an error of judgment ; but that sympathy
is not deep enough to long endure any
serious inconvenience in the matter of
transportation.
The present temper of the people is
against government control of the rail
roads; but if any organization undertakes
to throttle the commerce of the country
government coutrol will be speedily in
augurated.

On cold winter mornings pancakes Of
all kinds hold an important place at the
breakfast table. The cherished buck
wheat cake, most prominent of all from
Thanksgiving Day until early Spring is
seldom absent from the morning meal in
the genuine American household. When
properly made, this is the most dele. ous
OF all the grlddle cakes, but it has been
against 1t when mace from yeast or risen
over night that 1t was difficult to make
light ana sweet, and that disagreeable Ell
fects frequently followed its eating 1t is
found that by the use of the Royal Baking
Powder to raise the batter the Sc objections
nave been entirely overcome, and that
buckwheat cakes are made most deli
clous food, light sweet, tender and per
fectly wholesome, that can be eaten by
anyone without the slightest digestive in
convenience. Once tested from the fol-
lowing receipt no other will be used Two
cups OF buckwheat, one cup of wheat
llour, two tablespoons of Royal Baking
Powder, one half teaspooniul of salt, all
sfted we'll together Mix with milk into
thin batter and bake at once on hot
griddle.
The purest and richest syrup is made
by dlssolving sugar in the proportion of
three pounds of sugar to one pint of water.
Many persons prefer the flavor of syrup
made of Orleans sugar to that made of
the white.
Rice griddle cakes are very delicious
The rice iscooked.until perfectly soft drain

grains are well broken up. For each cup
l I'll or rice take two eggs one pint of milk,

flour enough to make a thin batter.
For hominy cakes take two cupfuls OF
cooked hominy and crush it with a potato

one level teaspoonful of salt, two tea
spoonfuls of Royal Baking Powder and
one cupful of flour. Stir together then
add by degrees one quart of milk. and
lastly three well beaten eggs. Bake in

Very delicate and delicious cakes are
made by allowing two teaspoorfuls OF

methods. Its assets are $50 l2S,j6S net, and it,
surplus, $5,is643O. Both of these are growing

in that only a little over per cent of receipts
