Sugar Maker

We will be in the market this year
for what sugar you make, but we posi-
lively will not pay full price for sugar
unless it is cooked to 240 degrees, at
least. Anything less than that we
shall discounC in price. It the latter
part of the season 240 degrees does
not get it hard enough, it must be
cooked harder, as we will buy nothing
but hard sugsr, anyway.
We shall make the usual discount of
two cents pound on tirs, old sap
buckets, jelly pals, lard tubs, candy
pals and cottolene pals. 1t is for
your interest to use new wooden pals
Or tubs.
The trade on Vermont sugar is fast
slipping away. The trade has been
completely killed ali through the West
by putting up Vermont sugar SO soft
and the demand is fast disappearing
in the East. Canadian sugar has sold
his ear for ABOUT hree cents pound
more than Vermont sugar, on account
of the hardness of the Canadian pro-
duct. E very farmer is working
against his own interests when he puts
the sugar up in the condition that a
great many have, where it will soften
up on top, ferment, and sour.

They are Influenced more by what
they read in the newspapers; and
most of them are not great readers
and not great thinkers except as to
the job they have tackled as their
ife's work.
The newspapers referred to the
lack of violence as if it were some
thing unusual for striking working
men to be orderly.
presume there are many business
men who can't understand why there
was no disorder and violence.
The reason is that THE CITY
GOVERNMENT DIDN'T START TT.
Chief Healey came mighty near it
He had violence in his mind. He
was thinking of WAR. So he asked
council for 1000 extra cops, nearly
100000 with which to pay them, and
$4,000 rounds of ammunition.

barbed wire. He has a beautiful field
of rye, dandy patch Of potatoes and
fine place all around, and is getting
very comfortably situated. He has a
good well of water and gasoline en-
gine hitched up to pump with. With
the good start Of cattle and horses
he has and the success he has at dry
farming, he is bound to win. But he
is farming right. Those who summer
fallow by raising a crop of volunteer
rye, weeds, ETC., on the off year will
lose instead of gain by resting the
land every other year. The object
principally of summer fallowing in
this country on new land is to conserve
an additional years moisture and not
to give the land "rest" entirely. A
crop of weeds, ETC., will take up more
moisture than a crop of grain which
required cultivation to put in. There
fore the land should be planted in the
fall or early spring and cultivated,
and surface mulch of loose earth
kept on the surface to keep the mois-
ture from escaping till seeding time
the following fall. This is exactly
what Mr.. Sutton is doing evidently,
and it is a pleasing sight to see his
fine field of rye on one side and Il
beautiful plowed and cultivated field
on the other ready for seeding this
fall. He will doubtless harrow or
disc it after this big rain to prevent
crusting and cracking Of the surface.

goods when handled that way.

excellent and IL is believed there will
be a good yield.

25 coyote hides on which to collect
bounty. They express surprise at
finding the number Of settlers and the
development on the very summit just
north of the "Bloody mountain" They
saw several fields of fine looking al

crop. The cut worms had damaged
one field but was coming out again
and looking fine. They have a school
