MAPLE SUGAR EXCHANGE.
The Annual Meeung Tuesdny After.
neon.


The annual meeting Of the Vermont Ma
pie Sugar Exchange was held in the select
mems room in the town hall building Tues
day afternoon, when there was good at.
tendance Of the stockholders. The manage
ment reported amount Of goods received
as follows Cake sugar, 81. 6si lbs pail
sugar, 0,57l lbs. syrup. 1888 gals.
amount now ON hand TO supply the trade
until new crop. 5000 lbs sugar aud l4OO
gals syrup, all first quality.
An undue proportion Of the goods re-
ceived was in cake sugar much Of which
could not be handled before warm weather
This necessitated remelting and putting in
pals and cake packages suitable for the
trade. The experience Of the past has
shown the necessity Of sending a larger
proportion Of the goods to the exchange in
syrup in tin cans holding from one TO five
gallons each. In the future preference
in sales will be given 10 sugar consigned by
stockholders, aud no advances Of money
will be made TO those who do not hold Ger
tiicates Of stock.
The following named directors were elect
ed for the year
Geo. W Hooker, Brattleboro.
J. L. Martin. Brattlpboro
CLARK Chandler. Wilmington.
J. G. Newton, Dummerston
W. /. Park, Lyndon
+ B Pier Jacksonville
Reuben Miller Westminster West
i. G. Crosby, Brattleboro

C. G.. Haynes
There is no doubt that with the expert
ence gained during the past tW years, tn,
work OF the exchange this year will b,
more successful and more useful to tn,
farmers than ever before
The essential point for the sugar makers
is that they take care to make an article o
the first quality, for it is such goods tina
find a ready sale An illustration Of this il
| found in the fact that when Mr. Messei
was in San Francisco early in December h,
/ showed the manager Of the Palace hotel
sample Of syrup from the exchange. Tn,
manager tasted it. showed it ~ the stew
ard, and at once asked Mr. Messer to wir,
the exchange 10 ship the house 30 gallons
In this connection we ask attention TO
letter on the maple sugar question, which
is printed in our agricultural department
| today. 1t is from Mr. + w. Moseley o
/ Clinton, Iowa, who has already been intro
/ duced tn our readers 1t CONES at an Oh
/ perfume time, and contains numerous help
full suggestions with regard to the very
! kind Of work which the exchange WAS or
/ ganiled to do.
