The Maple Sugar Bounty.
Preparations for Putting the Law into
Practical Operation.

A Montpelier despatch states that Gen.
l.. ID. Sewell, chief of United States rev.
enue agents, has recently been on visit to
the District of New Hampshire, which in
cludes Vermont, to organize a system for
inspection of maple sugar produced under
the bounty act. The necessary regulations
and blanks will be issued and distributed
by the department before the opening of
the sugar season. The regulations will
probably provide for the inspection of sugar
at all of the principal railroad shipping
points in the territory where the licensed
makers are numerous enough to warrant
it. In Orleans, Caledonia, Franklin, Wash
ington, Orange. Lamoille and Windham
counties, where the applicants for the boun-
ties are most numerous it is likely that
weighers will be located at nearly every
railroad station, their service extending
over period of about 30 days. 1t is pro-
posed to establish government laboratory
for testing the sugar on which bounty is
claimed in the new Federal building at
Montpelier, this laboratory being in charge
of an expert chemist from the internal
revenue department at Washington. 1t is
proposed to sub-divide the district into dis
tricts comprising several towns each, where
licensed sugar makers are sufficiently nu-
/ mefOuS, ana 10 appoint All Inspector VI
weighers for each district who will be sta
/ toned at the most convenient shipping
point on the line of a railroad Every Ii
censed producer bringing in to the deputy
collector sugar for immediate sale will offer
it to be inspected and weighed, whereupon
the officer will select samples from the LOT
and send to the government laboratory, t.
be tested by the polarscope to ascertain
whether the sugar is of quality to entitlC
the producer to the government bounty.
At the close of the sugar season, farmers
having sugar on hand at their houses which
they wish to have inspected, will notify tn
weigher of the fact, who theTeupon will
visit their places and weigh the sugar. Tn
various lots of sugar weighed by the office
during the season at the shipping station
and at the home of the producer will b
aggregated, and if the total weight exceed
800 pounds, and the analysis Of the sam
pies taken shows them to have reached tn
required standard, they will receive tn
bounty
Deputy Collector Mcintyre will in fey
weeks make tour of Vermont to locat
shipping points best suited to the CONVEX
fence of sugar makers. The journal co.
respondent estimates that the bounty pal
Vermont sugar makers in 1892 will eXcee
100000.

BILE hours for labor. Were this done and
adhered to more work could he accom-
plished in the end, and both body and
spirit would come to each days work fresh
and elastic instead of leaden and depressed
There is no reason why a farmers home,
with its natural advantages, should not be
as attractive as a village residence. What
is needed is the wish and an intelligent
purpose to make it so.
Lastly the best way of improving the
old farms and restoring their fertility was
discussed. The process must be a slow
one, and intelligence must be exercised in
the process as in any branch of business
or labor The professional man, the bust
ness man, or the skilled mechanic, must
give to his work years of preparation, but
the common and mistaken impression is
that anybody can be farmer. The yearly
cropping of grass lands, returning nothing
to the soil, will swiftly deteriorate hill
farms. The great aim must be to increase
by every possible means the amount of
forage so that more stock can be wintered
and plenty of manure provided, TO which
the old farm will quickly respond with
abundant harvests. He is wise farmer
who directs his labors and his fertilizers
to the raising of 30 tons of hay from 10
acres TaJlef IMAM from ~ acres. INSTANCES
can be found all about us of the way in
which the soil responds to good treatment
and resents neglect. Mr.. BetteTley's farm
on the Dummerston hills is like beacon
light. He treats his land as he would train
fine horse for market-develops all its
good qualities to the utmost.
The subject of taxation was briefly
touched upon, and the decided belief eN
pressed that the time had come when our
farmers should be relieved of the burden
of paying taxes on property they do not
/ own. When a farmer, for instance, buys
/ a farm for $4,000, on which he pays $1,000
down, all the money he has, and gives a
mortgage for the remaining $1,000, he
should only be taxed for what he actually
owns in the farm.
The great manufacturing industries of
the state are in high state of prosperity,
and the essayist believed that partly by
reason of the discussion which has been
going on upon the subject of abandoned
farms, and partly by reason of the annual
exhibitions of stocks and products, attract
ing renewed attention to the agricultural
resources of Vermont, an upward turn in
the farming interests of the state had al
ready come.

A GHAsTLY LODE.
Han,an Bodies Being Taken From Mine
 .m In Sonora.


 In sonora.
 From the Nogales Record
 During the heavy rains last August, twenty men employed in the socorro mine, near Carbo, Sonora, lost their lives by the mine caving which caused a torrent of water to wash in upon the unsnspecting miners. The ledge of the Soccrro runs under an arroyo and in driving the drift it appears they cut too high and so near the surface, that one day while twenty men were at work in the drift immediately under the bed of the arroyo, a terrible freshet came and a great stream of water poured in upon the men, drowning all of them. So com pletely was the drift filled up, that it was useless to attempt to get any of the men out alive, and not until quite re- cently have any of the bodies been re- covered. 4ifN.
 J, IA. Gowan, one of the owners of the SocCrro, was in town this week and stated that the men now employed in the mine had at last struck that portion of the drift where the unfortunate miners had been working when the mine caved. The terribly decomposed bodies of five have so far been found and 1t is thought that all the bodies will be re. covered within few days, although the stench arising from the putrid remains is so great that the men find it difficult to work long at a time in the mine.
