been made by ex-Congressman ". f.. Sni-
der Of Minneapolis, In the course Of his
remarks the Minnesota politician said at

For Vermont Farmers.

The farmers of Vermont will he interested
IN the poariscope tests of maple sugar to be
made under the direction of Irof. W. ".
Cooke of the State Agricultural College as
outlined in our local columns this morning
These tests are undertaken for the purpose
Of obtaining an approximate idea as 20
what proportion OF the maple sugar product
Of Vermont viii be entitled to government
bounty and with this end in view samples
will be secured from rs many different sec
tons Of the State as possible The samples
already tested were taken from different
towns in Chittenden and Franklin counties.
and the results Of these tests are encourag-
ing as they indicate that the great bulk OF
Vermont maple sugar will reach the re
quirel standard to entitlo it to a bounty.
Another interesting feature of the result is
that the sample Of old maple sugar which
had been kept in the storehouse of the St
Adams Gold Storage company showed n
higher percentage of sugar than any Of the
other samples.
In this connection it will be well for Yer
mont sugar makers who desire to receive
the government bounty on their product in
1892 TO remember that they must file their
applications between April 1 and July Of
the present year. 1t Is estimated that there
are 10, 900 sugar makers in Vermont whose
annual product is about IS, 900, 900 pounds
equal in value to 100000 in round mum
bers, which represents the sum that tho
farmers Of this State will realize from the
bounty. The coming season promises wei
for the farmers of this State, but the year
following will be better by just the sum in,
dictated by the above figures,

state Experiment station

Results Obtained from samples at the
state Experiment station.
Col. c. S. Forbes OF st, Adams, deputy
collector of internal revenue for Vermont
left number of samples of new maple SUI
gar at the agricultural experiment station
to be tested with the polariscope. This was
done In pursuance of IA project on the part
of Prof, w. w Cooke to undertake to make
a large number of tests and to publish the re
suits in bulletins which will be distributed
for the benefit of the farmers of Vermont.
The samples tested will be exhibited at the
various agricultural fairs to be held this
fall. The samples furnished by Col. Forbes
were six in number and were specimen
bricks of new sugar with the exception of
one sample which was made last year in
Fletcher The results of the tcsts are given

sugar to receive the bounty Of u
cents pound, which is to he paid
on sugar testing above 50 and less than 80
per cent The sugar testing 'S.jO per cent
was dark colored and contained impurities
which reduced it below the government
standard of 50 per cent In this conuec-
ton it should be stated that all sugar
makers must make application for licenses
