Maple Syrup or Bust.

John Morehouse, South Lancaster,
was in town Tuesday to see about a
couple of new pans for his sugar bush
outfit. John has a record for produc-
ing maple syrup of superior quality,
and the Herald man may be called as
a witness, if proof is needed. We
have smeared buckwheats with his
sweetening and know whereof we
speak on that subject Mr.. More
house says that last year was a bum
one for sap, both as to quantity of
flow and quality o. me raw product.
John is hopeful mortal and expects
better treatment from the person who
directs the weather processes of
freezing and thawing this year Any
way, he is providing the sugar bush
with better APPLIANCES for the max
ings" of first class maple syrup.

Singeing Hogs Instead Of Scalding

This story was a year old last fall.
up in Sank county where the tragedy
was enacted, but it is new in Grant.
so here goes:
VIII Head, successful farmer
near the village of LaValle, had read
an inspiring article in a farm paper
about singing a porker in gasoline,
to remove the hair and debris, instead
Of scalding the old way. So he went
to town and confded his purpose to
give the innovation a try-out on a
shOte he was going to kill the next
day. 1t so happened that the person
to whom Will confided his secret was
his own nephew, joshing young fell
low who clerked in the hardware store
whore the special brand of gasoline
was bought
All ready and set, Mr.. Head stuck
the butcherknife deep into the throat
Of the hog, pulled the carcass onto a
platform he had provided for the OPP
Grafton and then applied the gasoline
The fluid blazed up like house afire,
singed off patch about as big as your
hand and then went ANONYMOUSLY
out. More was put on and lighted
and this acted about the same. The
gasoline was soon used up and only
small patches of hair were burned
away. And what was worse. there
was not enough hot water on the
farm to scald six-month-old chick
en-
At this juncture, Mr.. Head hustled
around, set big kettle, built fire,
sank a barrel alongside his plat
form and by the closest application
to the job got the hog scalded. clean
ed and hung up by the side of tree
when darkness set in.
To this day he insists that his neph-
ew doped that gasoline with water to
such a degree that it would not OPP
crate. And the youngster is such an
everlasting joker he might have done
it.
Anyway, we cannot advise readers
of the Herald to try the experiment.
and if they do, keep still about it.

their noses into the public feed

ting climax to a series of gatherings
which have been marked by steadily
enthusiasm and determine
ton to win. This will to win"
has been heightened and strengthened
by each of the meetings held in the
outlying sections during the present
week
A band will be ON hand to stir up
the crowd, and when the session is
called to order there will be a host
of notable speakers present to enter

necessary, to instruct the voters
upon the vital importance Of keeping
the hungry hordes OF Republicans
from the Public Treasury in their

of Carroll county good to hear and
