Charles Higley entertained the farmers
club last Tuesday; good number of farm
ers attended. Making and selling maple
sugar was the interesting subject discussed
by Milton Powers, who makes maple syrup
mostly. He would strain it through a
flannel or felt strainer, can and seal when
cold; has no sediment in cans; has a ready
market for all he makes at good price.
l.. NJ. Woodland would cleanse his syrup I;
does not know anything about making
sugar, but has sold in the same vicinity for
the past 80 years and has more orders at a
paying price than he can fill. Charles Hig-
ley would convert his sap into sugar one
day and send it to market the next. Benz.
Barber, A. Preston, Wells Thurber, Hor-
ace Stowe, Warner Stowe, Warren Fessen-
den, Warren Niles and others would keep
all foreign substances out of the sap and
convert it into syrup and sugar as soon as
gathered. The location of a sugar place
has good deal to do with making light
colOred sugar, and the speakers would bore
shallow with a small bit; thought metal
spOuts were a damage to the trees and
would not use them. G.. A. Boyd of Will

the Titus Stowe sap bucket cover and his

with favor.
