Somebody is talking about travelling
stove peddlers. Every now and then these
tramp peddIers visit communities selling
stoves. some OF them good, some of them
| DOOR They seem to have the power to
hypnotize the women and to fool the men,
and place a great many stoves where they
are not needed and where people are not
able to buy them. This is not the worst
| of it, They sell at enormous prices and the
parties who buy them are cheated terribly
| in price if not in the character of the
stove. When it becomes necessary to pur-
chase stoves, there are good and reliable
stove dealers enough in every locality to
furnish them. Competition is sharp in
these lines and good stoves can be bought
|
unless you have come to that state where
you feel that you must be humbugged and
| cheated.
A friend in Rhode Island writes, ex-
pressing the wish that the MONITOR would
publish weekly a brief account of the
weather, the snow, the ice, the prospect of
| sugaring, etc. We usually mention the
| condition of the weather, when there is
anything peculiar about it. Here goes for
| the benefit of our outside readers: March
seems disposed to retrieve the losses in the
snow fall during the first three months of
winter. 1t SHOWS almost every day and
the snow is deep but light. The roads are
poor and growing worse from day to day.
The ice on the lakes is deep, solid, and
buried two feet under the snow. Nobody
can predict with any certainty what the
sugar season is to be. The flow of sap is
something that can not be determined in
advance. The high prices received for
maple sugar last year will stimulate the
farmers to ''tap' every tree in their reach.
