any deposits of lime when il the first out

with the evapOratOr for that purpose, the
sediment or nltre Is got rid of entirely. In
fact all syrup should be strained through
these strainers, as 1t takes no more time and
adds much to the market value Of the pro-

Sugaring-ofr can be done in the back sec

The Williams Bellows Falls Evaporation
the most popular in the great sugar or.
ichardS OF Vermont, York State and Ohio,
which has proved its excellence. For the
coming season, however, it has several i'm.
portant Improvements. 1t is not the old
Cook evaporation, but combines with the
best of the foundation principles of the
Cook patent the improvements of the Will
Jams and Butler & Corey patents. The dis
tinguishing feature of crOss-wise crimps or
cOrrugatiOns is of course retained. These
cOrrugatiOnS form resisting chambers that
accumulate the passing heat, and increase
the heat capacity Is to 80 per cent. A cov-
er has been added which still further in
creaSeS the evapOrating capacity of the
evaporation, and, in addition, prevents the
steam from entering the sugar house, car
ring it off through the STAN chimney.
This keeps the air of the sugar house pure
1t prevents dust, dirt, ashes and SCOT from
falling into the boiling sap. ltprevents the
steam c0nGensing on the underside of the
roof OF the sugar house, and after mingling
with the dust, falling back into the sap, as
it is liable to when the cover is not used
thus injuring the value of the sugar, and
perhaps reduiDg it below the standard set
TO. :the &c bounty. The cover also keeps the
steam from the sugar house, and makes it
more healthful to work in.
Again the double furnace castings form air
chambers along the full length of the arch,
through which the heat radiated from the
sides is drawn up and over the surface of
the boiling sap, and then into the steam
chimney, thus assisting very materially in
the evaporation and in the more rapid re-
moval Of the steam, and consequent purity
and light color of the syrup.
The evaporation is fitted with double ends
that is, has a finishing up apartment and
faucet at each end. This construction over
comes the deposit of so-called ''nitre," or
malate of lime, which often gives so much
trouble. 1t is this nitre, or combination Of
