Will Farming Pay i'm the State of Mainef
In the fall of 1871 took into my field
half an acre of land out of my pasture; COM
mon pasture land it had formerly been in the
field some twenty-five years ago. The soil is
sandy loan, except little swell that runs
through the centre of the piece. This was
a little inclined to muck. Through the CEN
tire put an under drain laid with common
pumple stone, and covered with moss such
as you will find on swampy land, and then
had it ploughed twelve inches deep. The
following spring, 1862, planted it with pota-
toes, turnips and cabbage, and the result was
when harvested had sixty bushels of pota-
toes, twenty-five bushels turnips, and one
hundred heads of cabbage, all raised upon
$50 pounds of Cumberland superphosphate.
The next spring, 1873, ploughed it again
twelve inches deep. and sowed it down to
oats, clover and timothy seed; spread on Is
bushels of leached ashes. The oats grew
very heavy and when fully in the milk cut
them for fodder, aud when thoroughly made
there was one ton of as good fodder as the
best of English hay. The first of July 1874
I cut the grass and when thoroughly made
there was one ton and half. The first of
September cut the second crop and had one
ton more of as good hay as any farmer could
wish for, and still it came up, the clover the
third time, and blossomed out. Now for the
result:

mo obyiated: we think the galvanized artl-
o,o manufactured in Vermont is good one
for this reason, and on account of the wire
hook suspended from it, to which buckets OF
wood or metal may be conveniently attached.
We're it not for the cost, tin or ironclSd
buckets should always be recommended;
where these cannot be afforded, cedar or
some other sweet and durable wood can be
substituted. For gathering the sap, some use
an upright barrel with closely fitting cover;
others prefer to insert tunnel in the bung-
hole of the common barrel, and thus to fill
il, and when filled and deposited in the hold
er it can readily empty itself.
When the SHOWS are deep and yielding the
sap must be transported by man-power upon
the elastic and broad runnered sled; at other
times the horse and frequently single OK
sled may be conveniently used.
Where due regard is paid to the comfort Of
the sugar maker, and the quality of the man
ufactured article, suitable house is built,
and store of dry wood provided; and then
with the modern appliances of arches, shall
low pans or evaporators, and an ordinary de-
gree of housewife skill, satisfactory results
may be generally attained. Care in strain
ing the sap and in settling the syrup; the
use of lime or saleratus to correct the pc
culiar acidity of the sap; the clarifying
agency of blood or milk, or some albuminous
substance; the various tests of granulation.
all these details the practised. hand well
knows, and the unskilled may easily learn.
At the point of granulation a fine grain is
produced by rapid stirring and cooling; the
large and coarse crystals require time ana
quiet for their deposit.
We notice that some recent writer's state
that syrup pays better than sugar; this may
arise from the fact that its good qualities are
more easily preserved for domesticuse. When
bottled or canned, it deteriorates very slowly.
For all that we know, the western method Of
sealing in jugs and then burying three OF
four feet in the earth may have some merits.
As the composition of maple sugar is the
same as that made from the cane; and as its
manufacture does not interfere with the gen.
eral routine of the farm; it is very desirable
that all its manipulations should be improved
and rendered attractive.

should be improved by all ere it is too late.
