Several Sugar-makers Have
Made That This Year.
SEASON IS ABOUT OVER.
Reports From Various Sections Of the
State Indicate That There Win Be
an Average Yield Of This
Product.

The maple sugar season for 1905 il
practically ended although it is likely
that In some places little more will be
made. The majority of the makers
hereabouts are aready gathering in their
tubs and are counting up the results.
Tie season, starting out poorly, devel-
oped into an average year, and the total
output of the state viii probably be
about the average Of the last few years.
A good many were disappointed at the
kets or decided not to take the trouble
to tap their trees again. Along toward
the last, however, the sap loosened up
a bit and the run was excellent. The
run Of last Saturday and Sunday made
OF decidedly poor season an average
one. Those who kept their buckets out
yesterday and today got a fair run.
The quality Of the product ii very good.
The best report is two pounds TO
tree, and several expect to average that.
Among them is il. X Hutchinson, who
resides on the East Hill. Mr.. Hutchin-
son is well pleased. He tapped GOO trees
and has made 1900 pounds of sugar.
That is next to the largest yield se-
cured from that farm for 25 years, the
most being made being 1000 pounds.
The average ID from eight to ten hum
dred. George Wheaton secured about
the same amount as Mr.. Hutchinson,
having tapped some more trees. Charles
PealSe of the same hill had fair
yield. #. g. Little, one Of the best
known producers in this section, is still
at it and is turning out an excellent
article. He expects to get 1000 pounds
from 1000 trees.
In the Northern Section.
la Franklin county there was the
largest run Of sap Of the season Satur-
day and Sunday and sugar makers have
been busy caring for it. The season
win prove better than was first ex-
pected.
Yield in Southern Vermont.
Tho maple sugar season Ii nearly 1T
its close in the southern part if the
state. The year has been fairl good
one ID some orchards, while in sthers
not more than one half the usual guam
tity has been made, which Is setback
to the farmers, as they depend largely
on their sugar sales help defray the
running expenses of the farms. The
sugar that has been made Is Of excellent
quality, as the sap has been much
sweeter this season than usual. In the
back towns Of Windsor and Windham
counties there is still much snow, and
the sugar season will continue here for
ten days more. Several days ago it
was reported that farmers In st. Johns
bury and meighboring Caledonia county
towns had made two pounds to the
tree.

General Drogamiroff, who won distine-

advises Emperor Nicholas to continue
the war, pursuing defensive tactics until
the double tracking of the Trans -Siber-

pouring reinforeements into Manchuria
and assuming the offensive when Japan
shall have become exhausted, at the

sources for strengthening the fleet,
which, the aged general assumes, will
take four years to render it more power
