Court Items.

There was little going on about the
Court House yesterday beside the or
dinary routine work of the various Of
fees. No new cases made their ap-
pearance upon the docket and in the
Probate Office there was not even a
marriage license issued. AS Clerk
schramm expressed it, this lack of in
terest on the part of prospective
brldegrooms was due to the uncer-
talnty which may have prevailed over
the result of the election.

Twentieth Century Club Dance.

The members of the Twentieth Cen

season at the Dig Hall, over Schlich-
er's cigar store. This hall has been
engaged by the Club for their dances
this winter and will be the scene Of
many a pleasant social dance. The af-

enjoyable that the Club has held for
some time and was enjoyed by the
young people to the fullest extent,

ON THE WAY TO MANILA.

Mr.. A. A. Provoncha Of Browning
ton sends US letter from his son who
is in Manila from which we take few
extracts. Mr.. Provoncha writes that
the regiment sailed from New York
Nov. 18th. in the transport Mead.
This boat is $40 feet long, So feet wide
and draws twenty seven feet Of water.
Its speed is fifteen and one half Knots
per hour. Land was not again sighted
until the 26th, when they passed the
Madeira Islands reaching Gibraltar
the goth. After coaling the voyage
was continued through the Mediter-
ranean Sea to Malta where they had
chance to view an English fleet con-
sisting of ten huge warships. Dec. 9Th
they steamed into the harbOr Of Port
Said, which is at the entrance to the
Suez Canal. The people there are
men and women dress exactly alike,
wearing nothing but a cloth fastened
about the waist and reaching about to
the knees. On the night of the 18th
they entered the canal which is about
$50 feet in width and eighty-six miles
long; they were sixteen hours passing
through it; the land as far as the eye
could reach was nothing but sand.
From this canal they passed into the
Red Sea, which was the toughest body
of water encountered during the trip.
They reached Singapore Dec. 25th and
while there were treated to an excel
lent Christmas dinner. The 9th they
sailed for Manila, passing through the
China Sea. The land along shore
could be seen for long distance the
grass and leaves being green and
everything apparently in fiourishing
condition Manila was reached Dec.
31st and the place found to be more
pleasant than had been anticipated.
The regiment was ordered to be ready
for march the following day.

OUR FARMERS.
DOES MAPLE SAP FLOW UP OR
DOWN?

This is one of the questions about
which every sugar maker has .specu-
lated and argued. The Vermont ex-
pertinent station has for several years
past been studying the pressure and
| flow of maple sap. Some of the i'm
portant problems will receive further
study; but certain facts have already
been discovered.
Maple sap consists principally of
two elements, water and sugar. The
sugar is all manufactured in the green
leaves and a part of it is stored in the
twigs and trunk of the trees to be used
in the early growth of the next season.
The water is all absorbed from the
soil. Examinations made in January
show that the wood is then saturated
with sap-about 40 per cent. of it's
weight at that season being water. If
the entire tree weighs 10000 pounds,
therefore, there is in it 400 pounds of
sap, and if this contains 3 per cent.
of sugar there would be in the tree
some 12O pounds of sugar in solution
III UAO sap. DOlluS3 CuO sea
son there is probably little movement
of this sap within the untapped tree,
but this sap may be under great pres
sure. The pressure on a good sap
day, may rise in such a tree to the
startling amount of over 20 pounds to
the square inch, as registered by
steam pressure gauges used in the
experiment station Investigations
When this pressure is relieved by tap
ping at any point there is a tendency
to drive the sap from all directions
out through the tap hole. Careful
experiments indicate that the sap
moves very easily and rapidly with
the grain of the wood, but very slowly
if at all across the grain and that, as a
result, the sap flows into the tap hole
from above and below, but not to any
appreciate amounts from the sides.
Two Or more tap holes on different
sides of the tree will therefore drain
more sap from the tree than will one
hole.
These experiments indicate also that
the upward and downward flow of the
sap into the tap hole is about equally
rapid. These points were proved by
careful and complicated chemical
experiment which gave very delicate
results but which can not be we'll ex-
planned here. The station expects
some day to publish full report of
these interesting experiments, but the
simple cOncluion may now be accept
ed that sap, at sugaring time flows
both up and down, but not laterally
around the tree Trunk.

THE HIGHEST STANDARD.

We have persistently labored to
induce the dairy farmers Of this con-
tinent to adopt higher standard in
the conduct of their business. 1t is
believed that the great hindrance to
progress and proftin everything con-
nected with the business, from the
cow to the creamery and cheese fac
tory, and beyond them to the dealers,
has been too low a standard. The
demand of the consumer has been for
better products than the producers
have been willing to give. Indeed iJ
has been the demands of the market
which have compelled the farmer, and
all the agencies after him, to accede
to higher standard of production.
1t seems everywhere that it is the
COW, the poor, low standard ideas of
the man who owns her, the low stand
ards of excellence in their product,
that are bringing loss and waste to
the dairy farmers of the country
Any man with half an eye can see this
if he will but look at the facts. He
can see that the Glow standard" men
are not making the money that men
are who, from the COW up, have high
er standards of doing things. He can
see that it is the poor butter and
cheese that sell for price away below
the cost of it's production. He can
see, if he will look, that this great
flood of poor product was made by
men and women who worked under a
low standard. He can see that these
low standard ideas entail an enormous
loss on the farming class.
Whom is he working for? Certain
ly not for the consumer, for he takes
his product only under the crushing
protest of ruinously low price. He
is certainly not working for his own
product, his own education, his own
advancement in the scale of manhood
and responsibility among his fellows.
No man grows in his pocket, his own
self respect, or the regard of his fellow
men, who makes a product that he
ought to be ashamed of, if he knew
what was what.-Honrd's Ddiryman.
