SUGAR FROM BLACK WALNUTs.-It is stated
that Mr.. A. NJ. Thomas, Of Council Bluffs,
Iowa, has succeeded in making both sugar
and syrup from the sap Of black walnut
trees. Aspcclmcn of the latter would readily
pass for fine quality of maple molasscs. 1t
is about as thick as ordinary store syrup, but
its flavor is vastly superior. Mr.. Thomas
obtained two gallons OF sap inten hours from
walnut tree that is only one foot in dame
ter and about forty feet nigh. He thinks the
walnut trees will yield as much sap as NAPLES,
while their fluid is one-third richer.
