Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
As many of your readers are en-
gagged in cutting large timber this
winter, perhaps it would be of inter
est to them to know of a certain large
tree which was cut the past week in
the town of Glover. The tree was
cut on the farm of F. W. Hastings,
said farm being managed by Armour
Smith.
This tree was sugar maple which
measured 45 inches across the stump.
The grains showed the tree to be 240
years old, making it 112 years old
when Vermont became a state. The
butt log, which was is feet long,
weighed 629O pounds and netted its
owner $40 delivered at Barton. Per
haDs the. size of the tree was not so
remarkable as the fact that Mr..
Locke, the foreman of a lumber COM
pany, pronounced it the finest speci-
men of maple he ever saw.
Yours truly,
