Rockford, Ill.--Dr Benjamin W

Excitement is necessary to the phys

we must have a moral substitute that

WISCONSIN FARMERS
MANUFACTURE SUGAR.

Wausau, Wis.-With sugar selling
at from 10 to % cents pound, the
maple sugar industry in northern
Wisconsin is going to experience a
wonderful revival the coming season.
In addition to the high price of sugar,
the farmers, who are accustomed to
purchasing in 100-pound lots, feel
keenly the restriction of their pur-
chases to a few pounds, and will seek
substitute of their own making.
In almost every section of northern
Wisconsin there are large orchards of
hard maple trees only a small por-
ton of which have heretofore been
touched by the syrup and sugar max
ers. On many farms, however, the
sugar bush" is considered valuable
asset and the crop of sweetening
gathered each year has been consid-
cradle. Heretofore neighbors have
simply envied thase who have gath
cred the harvest, but this year they
are going to line up with those who
are conserving the resource to the full
lest degree, and unless all signs fail,
the total harvest will exceed those of
former years by at least 100 per cent.
The process of sugar making is in
itself an outing The season comes
with the first warm days of spring.
First the trees are to be tapped, the
receptacles placed and a brief period
of waiting. Then comes the gather
ing of the sap, its conveyance to the
evaporators, the boiling down process
and the joys of "sugaring off," or the
cooling and canning of the syrup.
The making of maple sugar and
syrup is one of the joys of rural life,
and it is also one of the most profit

and civic organizations, individuals and
officials Of the gas company, were exp xpect-

rates--the first 1000 cubic feet Of gas
used by the domestic consumer per
month to be at the present rate OF co
cents a thousand cubic feet, with
