A West Randolph correspondent of Our
Grange Homes writes to that paper of the
extent to which he found authorizations of
maple syrup on sale among the retailers of
Chicago There is nothing new in what he
says except the details. He tells, for in
stance, of finding a round gallon can Ia
belled pure maple syrup with this de
scription reading
This syrup is made from trees which have
been under my cultivation for % years, and is
put up under my own supervision Warranted
as pure as a russet CSignedl Edward Brew
ster, Square Brewster's farm, Fair Haven, Yer

The syrup was largely made of glucose,
and the manufacturer had guarded himself
against prosecution by the manner of spell
ing the name of the county. One firm
show ed eight different grades. all bearing
high-sounding names like pure maple
drip" Vermont maple syrup" etc. Ac
cording to one label the goods were home
made, and came from Fair Haven, Or
ange county" In one large Boston house
he saw 'Mapleine," which was made out Of
glucose, sugar-house syrup, and something
to give it a pretended maple flavor. This
writer thinks these authorizations have had
the effect to reduce very largely the call foI
maple products from the West The rem.
edy, it is hardly necessary to say so far
as the Vermont sugar-makers can apply it

home, and to educate the people of tn,

The simplest and. in fact, the only prac.

Philadelphia Record is to dip them in "A de
coction of tobacco or some of the various
prepared dips upon the market, of which
there are several good ones. The difficulty
at this season is that the sheep cannot be
dried after dipping unless there is a dry,
warm place in which the work can be
done and the sheep permitted to stay until
dry. The tobacco dip may be made 10y
sleeping at boiling heat four pounds of to-
hacco stems in 90 gallons of water. To
this add, by stirring, one pound of flowers

Foot rot in sheep can be cured in sever
al ways The hoofs in all cases should be
pared down so as to expose the affected
spots, and then they may be touched with
blue vitriol. The next application should
be crude petroleum, and this should be put
on every other day until the sheep are
cured. An application of a strong decoc-
ton of tobacco following the vitriol is good,
but not so safe as the crude petroleum,
which is a most admirable antiseptic, the
