is of value.
\ nan in Licking county, last fall
manufactured a large quantity at the
rate of 1000 pounds to the acre, and at
an expense of three cents per pound
The sugar is fair, as to color, and has a
flavor much like the maple. The process
of manufacture is quite an art as well as
a science. The Secretary of the State
Agricultural Society is now engaged in
writing cut the art. The gentleman in
Licking has the science, which he has at
