+. l.. Hovey: Transpanted naples do
not afford rs much sap MS natural growth
but 1t is sweeter. Sugar-making is, in my
opinion, the most profitable business of the
farm. Like the moving machine, it helps
clean up the farm Old wood and rubbish,
always accommodating upon the farm, is the
very best for boiling sap. But little remains
to be SAID ms the subject has been fairly and
ably handled | object to tin buckets MS
more likely to sour than wood Begin early
The first sugar made is always good while
the last is always poor,-hardly worth maxi
ing.
A remark was made by the secretary that
one Improvement had not been attended to-,
viz. the building of cisterns under ground,
in which to put the sap when gathered, in
stead of the wooden holders in common use.
Henry Peck: l had cistern built, and
wouldn't take the gift of the best holders in
town, and be obliged to use them. One large
enough! to hold 500 pals of sap can be con-
structed at u small outlay,-not half the ex-
pense of holders Of that capacity. Sap will
keep two weeks, sweet and cool, in a cistern
Let it be placed upon side hill above your
sugar house, with pipe running from the
bottom Of the cistern to your pan, and you
have handy apparatus, with no dippinQ of
sap and waste thereby. No sugar maker
who has used one would do without it at
any reasonable price.
Subject for discussion next meeting: How

campaign the Radical papers Of the country
went into ecstacies over the course Of the rebel

became the "herO Of many brilliant exploits. ("
Now, however, that MOsby has left the RAdI-
cal ranks and taken the stump for the Con-

are emptied on his head, aud we are told
that
"The course of the ex-rebel RuerlllO MOsby,

nOunced by the Republican journals in Wash

which was formerly loud in its enlOgy of Mos

Tea CuIaurc an Flurlan.

1t may not be generally known bat the fact
Is none the less patent, that the genuine tea
plant is growing prOfusely all over the suburbs
of Jacksonville, Florida, and presents quite a
thriving appearance wherever 1t Is found. We
are informed, says the jacksonville Union, by
prominent mechanic OF this city, and an old
resident at that, that he uses no other tea in
his family. He plucks and dries what he re-
quires for his own use, and says It is equal to
any black tea offered for sale at the grocery
stores. If some shrewd,NeW Englander were
only here he would soon make regular busl-
ness of preparing tea crop, and he would
make money by the operation.
The leaves can be dried In the shade, and
will curl OF themselves naturally in the process
of drying. The crop would cost nothing but
the trouble of plucking, and wagon .ond
could be bicked in an hour without half trying
II some Of that kind of people who are always
grumbling about having nothing to do would
try the experiment OF preparing this tea fol
market, we think they would find 1t to be {
lucrative business, and one, too, that they
would pursue with aYidity as soon as they
found how readily they could dispose of all
they had manufactured.
