1t is now time to be prepared for the sweet
spot of making nipple sugar in the woods. The
sapil0ws most freely while The snow covers the
ground and lros'y nights and sunny days give

tice TO chop large cash in the side of the tree

Buckets are now used ia, mary places To- catch
the SAP instead of the rude roughs which were
wont 10 be cut and dug out wiha common axe.

attention must he paid TO she kind of timber from
which they are manufactured. The black cherry

wood Is easily excavated, but the sap is apt 10
ooze through The pores while pine will answer
much better, though pine is thought to give a dis
agreeable taste 10 the sugar-The whe ash is
best when once made, though the labor of exca-
waiting is considerable. In boiling down the sap,
great caution uaIist he used not TO reduce ttoo FAST

Constant attention.
All FARMERS who have trees should make their

oh tho wondrous press has magic sway
In its great and gent force,
TO the east and west it bentls its way,
And it takes DER the seas its course
Gay and dazzng stores may The good ship fill {,
In the pride OF vain excess,
But il boasts treasure more precious still,
In the wealth of the mighty press.
The son of genius, unsought, unknown,
May his heaven born theme pursue,
Their brightness guddens himself alone,
For his friends are far and few.
But see, in the ranks of fame he stands,
10 thousands his lays possess,
And his name is blnzoned in distant lands,
Through the aid OF the mighty press
The poets numbers. the scholars lore,
Cast their radan spell Der all {;
Those strains are conned in the cottuge door
That euchant the lordly hall
And the Book more holy than all beside,
Which alone eau truly bless,
To the heather shines as lamp and guide,
BY the power Of The mighty Press.
Alas that n scene so bright, so clear,
Should dark reverse disclose;
Alas that boon so great, 40 dear,
Should he ever link'd with woes;
But the lawless doctrines of men pro(nne,
To the world their guile address,
Proving 10 thousands a snare and banc,
Through the sway the mighty Press.
Yet the summer sky has its wintry doom,
Aud the rose reveals a thorn
And evil must ever mix with good
In a race to evil born
We must bear the pangs of thwarted will
Where we fondly hoped success,
We must sigh DER The mass of social ill.,,
Diffused by the mighty Press.
Yet the light Of Faith lei us humbly seek,
| 10 illumine Our dangerous road,
Let us deem all knowledge poor and week
| That would lead our hearts from God
Then may we welcome Instructions tide,
As it flows our land to bless,
And greet with unningled Joy end pride
| The gift of our glorious Press.

STABLE FLOORS.

A little while since, says the CoDgregatoaalist,
we Published an article from The Cultivaior, rec
ommeuding the disuse OF stable floors ior horses
with the allowance Of considerable space below
the stills for the accumulation Of the manure. The
following from ihe Hartford Courier will doubt
less add weight 10 the recommendation of tho
Cuhivator. The Editor says:
Our ntighbor, George Gid.lings. of West Hart
ford, who, by the by, is one u The best practical
farmers in this county, has adopted this plan Sor
some years.-He assures us that he obtains Twice
or thrice rs much manure rs his neighhors ges
from the same stock. He says he would not have
floors in his stables, even If he could have them
furnished and his stables cleaned out gra,uitonsly.
In short, his experience fully confirms all the aa-
vantnges above enumerated. As il is a saving of
both labor and expense, rs well as a source of
increase Of wealihas il offers so many sources
of profit, with no counlerbaancing loss we NAV
reasonably expect our farmers will Try stables viii
