Maple Sugar Market

A. w. Mckay, specialist on market
ing in the United States Bureau of
Markets, is making survey of maple
sugar production and marketing in
Vermont. Mr.. Mckay returned to
Burlington Thursday night from a
trip of 10 days around the State, in
the course of which he visited produc-
ers and dealers in maple products.
He also visited railroad offices to
gather information regarding freight
rates and the transportation of this
product.
Mr.. Mckay came to Vermont
through the courtesy of DR.. H. G.
Taylor, chief of the Bureau of Mar
kets and Crop Estimates, to make this
study, which will be embodied in a
published report to be issued by the
bureau of markets for the use of
all who are interested in the various
phases of maple sugar production.
While in Vermont, Mr.. Mckay is
making his headquarters at the ex-
tension service Of the College Of Ag-
riculture, U. V. M.
On his trip over the State, Mr.. Nc
Kay received the kindliest co-opera-
ton On the part Of all whom he has
visited. He feels that the informa-
tion which he is gathering will be OF
service to the maple sugar industry
Mr.. Mckay will be in Vermont
about another week, when he will 81
to New York and Boston, and several
other large markets to study the dis
tribution of maple products in these
centers.

The last Vermont creamery and
market news letter gives the result
Of a study of shipping milk versus
the manufacture of butter, and the
results slightly favor the making of
butter. The study covers period Of
nine months. The figures were TAX
en- from a milk shipping station and
a creamery located in the same zone
and every item of cost which enters
into the two methods of marketing
milk or cream was taken into consid-
GRAFTON. The letter says: "The great
est problems confronting the YER
mont dairymen and their creameries
at the present time are those prob
lens connected with the net returns
for milk shipped as market milk COM
pared with the net returns for the
milk and cream manufactured into
butter and the various other dairy
products The entire situation has
reached the point when it behooves
every dairyman as well as every
creamery to seriously study their
own conditions relative to the most
profitable manner in disposing of
their milk or cream. Too many dairy
men and creameries are inclined to
overlook those facts which are evil
dent and which affect the price of
dairy products, such as surplus,
hauling charges, the feeding value of
skimmilk and buttermilk and the ex-
ira care and cost in handling milk as
compared with cream sold for manu-
facture of butter and apparently
many of them see only the price per
quart for milk delivered in Boston,

Mortified News.)

Country towns might be divided in
to three>types.
Those that are dead from the
ground up.
2.-Those that are wide awake and
will go ahead and do things.
3.-Those that have bright and
wide awake people, but which spend
SO much time in personal and faction
al chickering's that they have no ener-
gy to push community projects.
The first class of towns is hopeless
the second will go ahead all right, but
the third class represents many re-
grettable instances of possible de-
velopment stopped.
Sometimes it seems as if a town
had had too many clever and capable
people. Too many of them want to
be bosses. They line up in >cliques
and factions, and if one party takes
up some idea, the others will sit back
and criticise. AS it takes a union OF
all resources in country town to ac-
complish results, the party that takes
up the new project can not put il
over, owing to the undertone of op-
position.
They become discouraged, and
reach the conclusion that the town
is dead and it is no use trying to &C.
complish anything. That puts a dam
per on improvement projects fo1
some time. before anyone has the
courage to go ahead and try anything

An interesting story in the week
ly, news letter of the United States
Department of Agriculture tells of
the increase in height and weight of
the Morgan horse as a result OF
breeding experiments at the govern

erage height of the Morgan stallion
IN the past ten years has increased
almost hand and the average
weight from 1040 pounds to 1900, and
that the increase in the size of mares
mas been almost as great. Thus it
would seem that the Middlebury Nor
