To The Farmers OF Wisconsin.

The farmers of the state of Wiscon-
sin have organized and incorporated
under the laws of the state to protect
themselves against loss by hail to
their growing crops, and against loss
by wind on their buildings, stock and
farm machinery. The assessment fol
the past two seasons has been very
low, not exceeding / mills. Mr..
VIM. Wetter of North Lancaster car
ried insurance to the amount of 500.
and his assessment in full for two
seasons past was only $2.06. A mum

SdD'S Running.

Sugar water" is running and in
many parts Of the country farmers
are catching drippings from sugar
trees. Maple syrup, once an i'm
portant and cheap ration in every
farmers home, has become a luxury
and is considered such by epicures
Maple syrup now retails at from
$l.25 to $3.50 per gallon and the
genuine article is seldom found in
the market at that price. Thrifty
farmers, especially in the eastern
states and Canada, have added to
their income by making an excellent
imitation of maple syrup. Brown
sugar molasses, favored with the
essence of boiled corn cobs or hickory
bark tastes like the real article and
when citizen of the city has the
word of the farmer that the syrup is
made from sugar water, that he him
self has watched as it dripped from
the tree, it tastes almost as good.
