Take stock of your health. know

ment sets forth that no one would think
of conducting a business of any sort
without keeping books, and that even
ownership of machinery and animals
entails making periodical examinations
of them in order to see that they are
kept in the best possible condition. The
need for self-examination is particu-

morrow.

NEGLECT SOURCE OF WEALTH
Possible income From Sugar Tree
Seems to Have Been Forgot
ten by Farmers.

Science has turned its inquisitorial
Eye more than once on the sugar tree,
out so far has failed to solve its mys-
sery. Investigation has merely re-
corded certain facts; it has not ex-
blamed them. 1t is known, for in
stance, that the sugar maple is far
more particular than the unititiated
suspect For its sap to flow, nights
must be cool, clear and still, with the
temperature at least ten degrees be-
'ow freezing; the days must be warm
and sunny, with the temperature rls-
ing to 80 degrees above freezing, and
finally, there must be fall of rain
Or of snow after four or five success
sive days of such weather or the sap
will cease to flow.
But there is hardly more of mys-
terry here than there is in the fact
that the farmer who has the trees to
tap fails to tap them. He needs no
demonstration to prove to him that
the weather conditions favorable for
the flow of sugar sap are favorable
for little work about the farm. And
he needs, surely, no reminder that an
eager and profitable market awaits
the product. Why, then, only half
the product available is collected and
why half of this natural resource is
wasted is perplexing to the ordinary
mind.
