THE raising of sheep has always occupied promi-
i nent place in Vermont farming. In former times it
was the upon which the farmer depended for
cash returns his other products being subjects of barter
and trade at the country store among his neighbours
The product of the flock then WOOL but little account
being taken of mutton and there little nducement to
grow mutton, it little sought for in markets.
and all surplus sheep wanted to build up other
focks At the present time the condition of the business
has changed other lines of farming have been developed
Darying and the rearing of horses have largely in
creased and become rival industries The markets have
undergone marked changes; while the price of wool
ranges lower the price of mutton rules higher and the
demand for breeding stock continues good And while in
former times the Vermont shepherd mainly anxious
to have wool sell at high price, to-day the product of
wool is of secondary Importance. The price of mutton
or the demand for thoroughbred breeding stock is first
Importance. We may say perhaps that sheep raising in
Vermont to-day is conducted upon two distinct lines
though there who take middle course; but the
successful sheep of the State are, rule breeding
for mutton or for thoroughbred Merinos.

MAPLE SUGAR PRODUCTION.

pounds Of so-caed maple sugar and syrup is sold to

to produce several times much maple sugar as Yer

maple sugar exchange located at Braeboro, which
handles only pure goods and by individual farmers who
have established trade for their own product It is
