free, and all sugars above number 10.
Dutch standard, shall pay a duty Of one
half a cent per pound In certain cases
there may be an additional and discriminat-
ing duty Of one-tenth of a cent pound on
the high grades Of sugar, making a total Of
sx-tenths Of a cent a pound the highest
duty that can be charged upon any grade
Of sugar The reduction will therefore be
three cents, or nearly three cents, on the
highest grade
The Dutch standard divides sugar into
| grades, numbered from seven to 90 ac-
cording to color only, the grades having
no reference to quality further than what
is shown by the color But the duty on all
sugars below ID, Dutch standard, has been
graded according to quality as shown by
the polariscope. BY the new tariff the 10
lower grades will be admitted free, and on
ly the four higher grades will be dutiable,
and these at a rate reduced to one sixth Of
the duty under the present tariff.
The high tariff of three to three and one
half cents pound on refined sugar has had
the effect Of a prohibition of the importa-
ton of such sugar the whole amount of
white sugar imported being only a small
fraction of one per cent of the total i'm
ports of sugar 1t has, undoubtedly aided
the combination of millionaire refiners to
control the price of sugar.
Whatever effect the new tariff may have
on the price of other kinds of sugar, it is
not likely to make the best quality of ma
pie sugar much lower because the demand
for it, for a purpose that no other sugar
can supply, is becoming greater every
year, and it will hardly come into COMPETE
ton with sugar used for ordinary purposes
The amount made will always be compare
lively small. If all the maple sugar made
in the United States was divided among the
people equally, each person would get but
little more than half pound

Governor Morton of Nebraska, who orig
mated the custom of Arbor day, says that
the agriculture! department has gotten out
some interesting works on the subject of
forestry, and that the public is beginning
to take an interest in this most important
branch of study. He says that nearly all
of the great floods which we have in the
spring are the result of cutting away the
forests from the lands. As long as the
forests endure there is large surface of
leafy mould which takes up the rain and
holds it as in a sponge This prevents the
sweeping down of the waters to food the
rivers, and afterward gives back this wa
ter through evaporation to the clouds, pro-
ducing later in the season copious rainfalls
The cutting away of the trees, therefore.
has much to do with the fierce, long drouths
which are now common in this country.

From the Burlington Free Press
A communication received by the Free
Press from Calais resident states that
from a letter sent by Deputy Collector
Forbes to the Boston Journal, in regard to
the sugar bounty, it seems that there is no
doubt that the farmer who makes 500
pounds of sugar is sure of his II cents.
Farmers in that vicinity, however. are not
yet clear on several points, and the CORE
spondent asked the following questions to
which replies were received from Prof. J
l.. Hills of the experiment station:
Question How will the farmer know how hard
to do his sugar TO stand the test of the polar-
scope: Answer-This is not known at present
but II is expected that a number of experiments
VIII be made this coming spring designed to test
this question. Results will be published and circu
lated in a way to prove Of advantage to farmers
before the season Of 1892.
Question-Who VIII test this sugar. Answer
1t Is pretty well known as to who will do this
work and it can be stated before long.
On stiOn-Will he be- obliged to keep his sugar
until he has 500 pounds before he can sell aud get
the h.inty: Answer Probably not, but posi-.
tive answer can not I've given.
Question-lt he is obliged to keep il, in some
cases the decrease in price will exceed the bounty
will il not: Answer-Should say that 1t would
particularly with the first runs The last runs of
sugar will rarely go up to 80, but it is probable
that the bounty will be adjusted that the farm
er Will also receive it on this sugar
QuestiOn-Will not the reduction of two cents
per pound on graduated sugar reduce the price
OF maple In the same proportion? Answer Should
think that the effect would be to reduce the price
