There is fellow out in Ohio, mas
querading under the name of the
" Ohio Fruit Company" who is filling
the country with circulars which he
has even the audacity to address to
such editors as he thinks he can fool
trying to get free advertising for a
method of preserving fruits by the use
of an alkaloid extracted from willow
bark, and known to the medical pro-
fession as salicine. 1t is of nature
similar to quinine extracted from "Peru-
Wan bark %; and like all such substances
is very dangerous to use habitually in
any kind of food. Similar preparations
have been advertised to keep milk
sweet, and to preserve various animal
and vegetable substances. Boracic
acid is another of these unwholesome
preservatives. Every person ought to
be warned from handling these things,
which slowly undermine the constitu-
tons of those who make use of them.
There are plenty of harmless ways of
putting up fruit.

The average per cent sugar is OBJ
tanned by adding percentages obtained
at the five various degrees and divid-
ing by five. 1t is much the same as re-
suits at 225o, which is about midway
between boiling and sugaringoff point
On averaging the whole work it will be
seen that the differences between the
highest and lowest are about one per
cent, corresponding to about one de-
gree of temperature. That is, if the
syrup was boiled at 235o at a place
having an altitude of 500 feet, max
ing a sugar testing 500, the same
syrup when boiling at the same tenn
perature at a place l 900 feet higher
would make sugar containing about
SO. Or if it is desired to make an so
sugar, the syrup should be taken off
when it is boiling at 234o. But this
difference of one degree in the ex-
tremes becomes practically unimpor-
tant as applied to the general run of
sugar bushes in the state in ordinary
weather.
The rules we have given are for an
altitude of about 500 feet, and if the
place is high enough so that the in
creased altitude will have any appre-
ciable effect, it will be to make the
sugar test higher rather than lower, and
to make the sugar maker still more
sure of getting grade of sugar that
will draw the bounty; but, as has al
ready been stated, the differences are,
so slight that the rules may be consid-
cred to hold good for all places in the
state and all kinds of weather, and the
Vermont sugar maker need not worry
over this part of the question. Yours
truly, JOSEPH l.. HILLS.

Use of Thermometers in Sugar.
Boiling.
BURLINGTON, August 8, 1892.


AGRICULTURAL EDIToR-During the
sugar season, last spring, great many
of the farmers of Vermont used the
thermometer for determining the proper
point at which TO take off the syrup in
order to make particular grade of
sugar. The station had previously pub
lished some rules giving the correct
temperatures. A great many of the
sugar makers had trouble in using the
thermometers. There is no doubt that
great many incorrect thermometers
were sold in the state last spring, but,
in addition to these sources of error,
complaint came to the station quite
frequently, and also appeared in the
columns of your paper, that no set
table of temperatures could be used.
because a different temperature would
be required from one day to another to
obtain the same result, according as the
weather varied, especially as the barom-
eter rose or fell, and that the position
of the sugar bush, whether in the val
ley or high up on the mountain side
would cause variations in the proper
temperatures.
No answer was made by the station
at this time, because this was point
that we had not tested, and although by
abstract reasoning the complaints
should have been groundless, yet we
did not wish to make any statements in
the matter until we had thoroughly
tested it, and knew the facts of the case.
This we were not able to do during the
sugar season, owing to the pressure of
other work; but this summer we have
n
wish to report the results we have OBJ
tanned.
Samples of two different syrups were
sugared off here at Burlington at an
elevation of 400 feet above the sea
level, under the same conditions as
our tests of last year, and then other
portions of these same syrups were
sugared off at another place with an
elevation of 1000 feet, and at still an
other place 1000 feet, above the sea
level. This latter work was done at
the residences of V. l. Spear and of F.
H. Packard of Braintree, and the thanks
of the Station are due these gentlemen
for their kindness and courtesy.
We have here, therefore, the extremes
of ranges of the sugar bushes of the
state, as well as the same in the range
of the barometer, for it is well-known
law that changes of barometer have the
same effect on the boiling points of
liquids as changes of elevation, and the
differences with tests here would cover
the ordinary variations in altitude and
barometer throughout the state. Sam
Piles were taken as the syrup boiled
down at five different temperatures be-
tween 21So and $3.50, and the usual
precaution was taken in regard to bar
ometer, thermometer, ETC., so as to
make the work scientifically accurate.

CHICAGO, March 10.-A decision given
some time ago by Chairman Finley, OF
the Western Passenger association,
fining the Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapo-

ton of charges against tine Chicago,

which an appeal was taken. The arbi
traitors in the case were r. ID. Caldwell

A complaint was originally made by
the Omaha road against the Milwaukee
q st. Paul road for cutting rates in the
sale of ticket between st. Paul and
Duluth. In denying this charge, the
st. Paul made counter charge against
the Omaha road of malicious misrepre-
Sentation. Chairman Finley dismissed
the charge against the St. Paul,and sus-
tanned that against the Ouiaha, fixing
the penalty at 500. The Omaha APP
pealed to arbitration, and the result
has been its vindication, SO far as the
charge of malicious prosecution is con-
cerned. At the same time the arbitrat-
ors sustained the chairman's decision
in declining to entertain the charge
against the st. Paul. for the reason that
the notice OF alleged violation had been
improperly served at st. Paul, instead
of at the general Offices of the company

it resembled the peculiar whistling of
