EAST FLETCHER.

The maple sugar makers of Cambridge and
Fletcher are nearly through for the season
and Il few thoughts upon the subject may be
proper. The season was late, and, for some
weeks, quite discOuFagipg to the farmers
but during the last two weeks we have good
reports from all sections The quality has
been quite up to the average, and so slowly
made, that the price of sugar and syrup, put
up in an attractive form, sold wc-small
cakes selling early in Boston at IA and 6
ceuts by the commission dealers. Large
cakes usually about cents less, weighing 3
or pounds-sellng at ten and IA cents, but
much less work for the makers Much maple
syrup has been made upon contract at from
so to 90 cents per gallen-casks furnished by
the buyer, which is equivalent to sugar at Z
to cents per pound. Large amount is
tance of the writer, many farmers run from
1000 to $500 trees, and the average
amount made is about pounds per tree,
which brings in quite a sum and with the
bounty adds greatly to the farmers income.
Only one in this vicinity has made arrange
ments to exhibit at the Worlds Fair but
without doubt the State will make credita-
bic showing of our industry. Within the
past few years, lively demand has manifest
ed itself from the commission dealers in farm
produce and most of the sugar is now sold
upon consignment, direct from the maker
The manufacture of good sugar and syrup
has become an art, and haste in boiling the
sap and " sugaring off, is quick work But
few brick or stone arches are now made for
boiling sap, but mostly iron frame-brickCd
up--with sheet-iron chimney.

Quick drying Floor Paints

are made IN various ways, with resin
Gus oil sometimes, and often with
cheap varnish. If a floor paint could
only be made with fine varnish, it
would be very attractive, both as to
It's qhick-drying properties, high
gloss. and durability; but such a
varnish costs four dollars, and there
fore Is out of the question. A paint
made with varnish does not spread
as nicely as one with oil. The Chill
ton Floor paints are made with pure,
kettle-boiled Linseed Oil, with as
much turpentine japan added as is
consistent with durability. Too much
dryer takes away from the life of the
OIL. Ii. for instance, the floor of the
kitchen is to be painted, the first
thing to do is to thoroughly wash it
with soap and warm water, into
winch put little ammonia, perhaps
nall an ounce to a pail of water.
This will help remove all the grease.
The floor should then be allowed to
thoroughly dry. If you can conve-
nlently do so, call in the services of a
hrst-class painter. Paint one or two
coats, as necessary, allowing first
coat to harden and dry before second
is applied. You can use the kitchen
about twelve hours after the first
coat is put on, and have the second
coat put on several days later, if you
wish.

Possibly No sugar Bounty.

Vermont producers of maple sugar
who have applied or have intended
to apply the present season tor a
bounty will be interested IN the an
nouncement which comes from wash
ington to the effect that the Secre-
tary of the Treasury may order no
more warrants to be drawn for the
PAYMENT of sugar bounties, in order
to raise the question of the constitu-
tiOnality of that section OF the tarIH
act which provides for such bounties.
The issue which is reported will be
made is that no gratuities can be
constitutionally paid to private inul-
viduals out of moneys received from
taxation upon the people.
No other issue than the one men
toned can very well be raised, for 1T
will be remembered that the validity
of the entire Mckinley act was ques-
toned on the ground that the reel
prOcity and certain other clauses
were unconstitutional, and that the
courts decided that the clauses act
ually in issue were constitutional and
furthermore that the whole act would
not fail even if some of it's clauses
were found to be unconstitutional by
the court. 1t seems to be the general
impression that if an opinion can be
secured from Attorney-General Olney
to the effect that bounties are uncOn-
stitutional the necessary steps will
be taken to test the case.
The financial loss which would re-
suit to sugar growers in the United
States from a step of this kind would
be serious. According to the Wash
ington correspondent of the New
York Commercial Bulletin, the pay
ments for sugar bounty during the
present fiscal year have already reach
ed s., 451,67 and will exceed 3d.
100000. The application for boun-
ty now on file in the office of the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue num-
Der 2. TAG, and call for the payment
of SO, 256, 4S5. If an order is issued
that no more warrants be drawn for
the payment of sugar bOunties the
sugar producers will losei in the neigh
borhood of $9,000,000.
We would advise the maple sugar
producers in Vermont, however, to
proceed just as if the payment of
bounties had not been questioned.
Louisiana is at present in the Demo-
cratic column and before the sugar
bounty is practically abolished, some
body connected with the present ad-
ministration is likely to enquire what
effect such action would have upon
the Democratic sugar planters of the
Creole State.-Free Press.
