Articles which have previously been pub
lished in The Phoenix have shown in a
striking way the extravaganza resulting
from poor highways. The great lesson of
the need, the manner of construction and
the maintenance of good roads, taught in a
comprehensive way at the worlds fair
would be of incalcuable benefit to the whole
country. Those interested in the subject
find that the methods and machinery of
bodybuilding are to be shown under differ
ent classesin five buildings having a total
area of nearly so acres. 4 movement has
been started to have a suitable building
erected, in which can be grouped every
thing useful in educating the people in the
science of road-making. Every one inter
ested in the subject will see the need of
such action, and the great opportunity of
education in line which means so much
in the development of the country should
not be lost.

The Maple Sugar Industry.
How II Was First Developed in Nom
Importation" Times.


Charleston y H. correspondence Springfield
Reporter
1t may not be known to all our readers
that we owe the manufacture of maple
sugar on large scale to the non-importa-
ton times before the Revolution, when the
austere colonists drank Liberty tea and
wore homespm garments. The Pennsyl-
vania Gazette of July Is, 1865, had a letter
from Boston dated July 4, which mentions
the process as a new discovery. The cor
respondent got his information from "a
gentleman of Athol, who described the
"sugar-making business at Bernardston.
Having chosen out a large maple tree" he
said, ''they with an axe box il, much after
the manner of the fir from which turpen-
tine is obtained; this being done, kind
of tough is prepared, extending from the
trunk of the tree on each side, in order to
retain the sap as it runs down. BY this
means upwards Of 30 gallons from one tree
have been obtained in a day: which. being
manufactured after the manner of the
syrup of the sugar cane, produces a sugar
the grain of which is equal in firmness to
the Jamaica; and the treacle extracted
from the pressure of the sugar is very
little, if anything, inferior to our West
India mOlasses. OF this sugar the gentle
man says, upwards of6 pounds was made
by one man the last season, that is from
February to April inclusive. A tree will
be serviceable for this purpose II or 10
years, with proper usage. 1t is said that
one family near Number Four Charles
town, n. H. the last season made upwards
of 1000 pounds. 1t is as pleasant TO the
taste as any other sugar, and very proper
to give to children for the chin cough, at
this time very prevalent in Boston,"
