WOODLAND.


The month Of February SO far has
been very cold and stormy. Thursday
last it was 40 degrees below zero at
Caribou, the coolest for the winter.
The hay presses are busy in this part
of the country and large quantities are
being shipped to Boston and other
parts of the country. The price ranges
from So to $40 per ton at the barns.
Potatoes are a little off. Hebrons,
$140, and Green mountains $3.50 per
barrel. Other varieties lower.
Woodsmen report snow from six to
seven feet deep in the woods. There
has been a large amount of lumber cut
this winter, and there is but little
doubt that there will be plenty of
water for driving when the snow
melts.
All the schools in town began Mon
day, after a vacation of four weeks,
on account of the smallpox scare. 1t
is understood there are no cases now
in town; and but few in the county.
No doubt there will be large acre
age of potatoes put in this spring,
besides large fields of wheat and other
grains. But after all the big smooth
hay fields are the best paying of all,
as they make fat stock, which with the
surplus hay which go to market brings
lots of money to the farmers of the
county.
