purpose of taking such action as might be
needed to protect the maple sugar interests
in the state from fraud. and establish re-
liable agencies Tor the sale OF sugar and
syrup made by members of the asso iaion,
The object is to protect both producers and
consumers for their mutual advantage, To
carry out the instructions OF the associa-
ton, the off GERS met at Montpelier Janu-
airy 20, and after full discussion OF the
situation deci led upon a plan OF action,
and filed articles OF Incorporation with the
secretary OF state for the Vermont manle
sugar makers market at Randolph The
| goods made by the members OF the associa-
ton will be sent to Randolph, and graded
according to quality; the agencies will be
supplied wi h uniform qlality. The
market, will have registered trade
mark that will be an absolute protection to
dealers and consumers as well as to pr,-
ducers. 1t is safe to say that no farm
product suff .rs so much ircm adulteration
as Vermont maple syrup. A paragraIh in
a recent issue OF the Rural New Yorker
oiotes sign in city restaurant: "Pure
Vermont Maple Syrup. Made on the
Premises"
This syrup might have been made from
maple syrup and be technically true. Blu
the probability is that ten times as muci
syrup is m de- in the large cities as is pro
duced in Vermont. 1t is the intention
OF the proposed market. to supply rot onl.
its ag ncy but individual customers in an.
part of the country who want the pure ma
pie, and from sources where they can b
assured that it is such. The market wi
will have ample store rooms and appliance
for putting up sugar or syrup in any re
auired form, and in diff rent grades. Tn

Board of Trade Wanted.

A board of trade is an institution that
does not seem to flourish in Vermont.
Boa d. have been organized in most of the
larger cities and villages OF the state; they
enjoyed languishing existence for time,
but disease and death soon came. This is
the story in Bellows Falls, Bare, Mont
pelier, Burlington and probably other
places. The Free Press in recent issue
urged the business men of the Queen City
to arouse from their slumbers and make a
united eff ,rt for the good OF the commun-
ity. The Argument used is as applicable to
Bellows Falls as to Burlington. The Free
Press says: That Burlirg ton ought te
have live board of trade is recognized by
every intelligent and public-,pirited citiz Il
of our city. Every observing man knows
that organizations of this character have
contributed in a marked degree to th'
growth and prosperity of those cities wise

When cotton sold for high price,
farmers could afford to buy northern
hay, but the conditions of the times
have changed and we must rely upon
our own resources for more of our
needs. The stream off money going
North for hay must stop if we mean
to prosper. We are being forced more
and more to raise our own feed for
mules, horses and stock To what
plants, then, shall we direct our at
tention?
With the exception of corn and oats
it is probably not expedient to raise
grass crop. Not that we have no
grass that will thrive, nor because the
land will not yield as large returns as
Northern land, but because we can
raise something better.
The leguminous family offers us
severa, plants that will yield as much
or more money value in hay and at
THE same time enrich our soils by in-
creasing it's supply of nitrogen. We
shall have occasion to treat this more
fully further on.
An ideal hay plant would be one
that grows easily, can be matured at
seasons that afford good curing
weather, gives a large yield of easily
digestible food material, not difficult
to cure or handle, is relished by stock
and gives a good manurial fertilizer
that may be returned to the soIl.--

sidered that the same material may
be used year after year, and the act
uaI cost per annum would thus be
compare lively small.
This cellular board has already
been applied successfully to variety
of uses and at remarka BILE saving in
expense compared with the material.
It's use in making packing boxes for
inclosing packages by mail and ex,
press, and even for heavier packages
of freight, has been established as en-
TREY practicable. Thus it has replace
ed wooden boxes that weigh fifty
pounds with a case of equal strength
for the use weighing five pounds. The
saving thus effected in freight charg-
es will be seen to be very great. Its
use for fruit and flowers such as are
now sent In tin cases effects a saving
of two-thirds of the cost of sending
through the mails, and the same pro-
portion of saving is effected in other
ways.
The boards can be prepareu in such
form and such size of sheets that it
may have a variety of uses. AS before
remarked, it remains for the fruit
growers and other shippers of Florida
to investigate its utility and to salts
fy themselves whether or not it is to
be to their advantage to adopt it in
their future business.-TimeS-C MON

Leguminous Forage Crops.

We have unmistakable evidence
that some of the members of the pulse
family of plants have furnished food
materia. for civilized man and domes-
tic animals from very early times. In
the dawn of civilization these plants
were selected for food by the first
representa- tiveS of our race who
sought to cultivate the best of the
plants that grew naturally about
them. How we'll they chose posterity
has testified Through all the chang
es that have transpired since that ear
ly time, we have chung to- some of
these old favorbteS and the indiett CHS
are that they will continue to grow
in popula rity as we know them bet
ter, and especially as we better I'M
derstand their value to the soil. There
are, no doubt, other species that have
not received due consideration that
may become extensively cultivated.
The Leguminosae is one of the larg-
est families of plants, having about
1000 species in all. Some of these are
found in almost every climate Of the
globe. Some are useful trees, some
are insignificant herbs, while all sizes
between the two extremes are abund-
ant in almost every country. Some Of
the most useful plants and some of
the most noXious weeds are c1assed
here. The species cultivated furnish
a greater diversity of economic prod
ucts than those of any other family.
Louisiana is chiefly interested in
those plants that will furnish food for
domestic animals, and form a part OF
a rotation system of crops. The le-
gumes will do this as we'll, if not bet
ter, than any other class of pants,
and at the same time enrich the soil
during their growth, increasing the
nitrogen content by virtue of the Mi
trogen-gathering bacteria that devel-
Cd in the root tubercles of these
plants. Some members of this family
have already become Important fac
tors in the agriculture of the State.
Many of the best farmers and plant
ers use a leguminous renovating crop
with unfailing regularity.
Some farmers are raising hay for
the market, and many devote' large
areas to grazing purposes. More land
should be devoted to these crops.

Pineapple Blight.
Edition Florida Agriculturist:

Edition. Florida Agriculturist:
Many remedies have been used Cor
the prevention and cure of pineapple
blight, with greater or less success,
among them ground tobacco stems
and Bordeaux mixture.
South Florida Sentinel office, Orlando,
owns small pinery which was at
tackled with the blight some time ago.
He used several of the remedies rec
commended for the disease with I'm
satisfactory results. He ascertained
that human urine was an excellent
insecticide for other varieties of
plants and concluded to try it's effica-
cy on pineapples infected with blight.
At first he applied it full strength,
but now mikes one gallon of urine
with three gallons of wash water, or
a ike amount of clear water, putting
enough on each diseased plant to
thoroughly wet the earth around the
roots, pouring the mixture into the
hearts of the plants eRpeat it every
few days until a cure is effected.
At one time Mr.. LaSale was on the
point of abandoning the growing of
pineapples, but since he has thorough
ly tested the urine remedy his plants
have fully recovered and his entire
pinery is as thrifty and promising as
any other one in or about Orlando.
Before actual danger of frost, Mr.
LaSaile covered the Stats on his pinery
with Spanish moss to the depth OF
several inches, shutting out the liglt
from above. In consequence the tenn
perature has risen ten degrees inside
the pinery and remains so, which has
caused his plants to grow as thriftily
as in the summer, the appearance" Of
the plants being healthy. He will not
remove the moss covering until first
of March.
1t would be a benefit to pineapple
growers to be informed through 5hc
medium of the Agricufturist, what
success others may have from the
remedy for blight used by Mr.. La
Sale, and it is hoped that it may work
as we'll elsewhere as it has here in the
case cited. Robt. A. Mills.
