Lovely weather for December just snow
enough for sleighing, but not enough for
numbering. -Farmers are taking their pota-
toes to markets; price Sl.7J per barred
The thermometer has been above zero so
far: something remarkable for the middle
of December.-There is no frost
IN the swamps and unless we
have cold weather and good fall of snow
soon it will be bad for numbering Deer
and caribou are reported as being very
plenty in the woods around THE lakes. If
ID. lo in nnas - bau N a.
one should be successful there would be
plenty of yenison for some time.-Farmers
have received good prices for their pota-
toes and the prospect is that those who are
holding them will get higher price later

potatoes there is no place in New England
that would suffer from it SO much as .lroos-
took county.
