1sgar In England and Franco
A French economist, writing on the
use Of sugar in France and England.
says that England, the only country
that excludes the manufacture of beet
sugar. consumes more sugar than any
other nation and buys 1t at the lowest
price. A pound of sugar In England
Is cheaper than a pound of bread. and
the Englishman pays no more to con-
sumo nfty-hve pounds of sugar per
year than the Frenchman pays for
thirty-two and one-half pounds. The
per capita consumption in France
since 1870 was thirty-three pounds.
while in England it wa over eighty
pounds. 1t is proper to state that one
reason why the French people con-
sumo so little sugar is because their
way of living requires less of that ar
ticle. For the great part of the French
people breakfast consists of q bowl of
soup, which is also frequently a part
Of the two other meals. Their drink
is wine, and as they use but little tea
or coffee, especially in the country,
there is scarcely any demand for
sugar. They make neither preserves
nor cake in the family. The usual
dessert is fruit and cheese. The high
tax Of I'VE cents a pound on sugar is
paid by the well-to-do people who live
in the cities. and who take coffee or
chocolate for breakfast and q small
cup of black coffee after dinner.
One Of the most powerful obstacles
in the matter of land settlement in
some parts of Australia is the prickly
pear. It has grown to be a fearful
pest. It has taken possession of whole
tracts Of country and the settler has
to fight a pitched battle for every acre
he calls his own. A single fruit brings
forth thirty. sixty and even several

mont plants are sent US from the YER
mont experiment station. These ag-
ures are taken In part from the new
Flora Of the state. published by the
Vermont Botanical Club. According
to this publication there are now 1853
species of ferns and Towering plants
known to occur uncultivated in Yer
mont. OF these, 70 species are trees.
including II species Of oak, Z kinds
Of maple, 6 poplars. 4 pines and 4
birches. These are mostly useful; but
there are so species Of weeds, some
of which are pernicious and promis-

u Of 1853 species. 270 have moved
into the state since the country wa
settled. Many Of them have come
mixed with agricultural seeds, or have
been introduced directly or indirectly
by artificial means. A large proper
ton Of these newcomers are like u
American population, importations
from Europe; and only q minority Of
60 or less have come to Vermont from
other states or from Canada. 1t Is in
teresting to notice how the number Of
known species has increased. in recent
years. When the first list Of Vermont
plants was published by Cakes in 1912,
there were 929 species known. Tor
rey's list of 1853 gave 1904; and Per-
kins' list of 1888 gave 1850. In each
case some plants were included by mis-
take, so the increase since 1888 is more
than the difference between 1868 and
1850. Most Of the additions are Of
species which have doubtless been here
all the while but have only recently
been discovered.
