MAKING MAPLE SUGAR.

Many maple-sugar makers say that
no foreign substance is needed to
clarity the syrup. This, however,
can only be true where the gre alest
care and cleanliness has been prac-
lised in gathering and storing the sap.
In old times the sap was caught in
troughs made by following out small
logs aud was boiled IN large open
kettles exposed to the smoke and cin-
dcrs of open fires. No wonder the
sugars aud syrup lhus made were dis
colored and oflcu so black as to be al
most or quite unstable. Now the
practice with the best makers Is to use
covered pals (tin Oncs being pre-
serred), metallic tap spou's aud pail
ont evaporators.

STONE DRAINS.

Stone, being indies ructiblc, is a
good material for making drains,
when it is to be procured on the land.
Indeed, it will pay TO put the stones in
drains merely as n way OF getting
them OIL the land aud out of the way
of the plow aud Ii irrow, and of turn
ing them over and over every year.
But II stone drain must be carefully
made; it will not do to dump the
stones in bitches aud cover them mere
ly. To build good drain proceed as
follows: Make the ditch wide enough,
aud at least thirty inches deep. Lay
a row of long, narrow stones along
each side of the ditch, and cover them
with flat stones Us closely us possible.
Fill all spaces with small ones and
then lay on others to within foot of
the surface, and cover with earth. 1t
is well to heap this over tho drain lest
there may be a hollow in which water
may gather and sink straight down
into the drain, making openings in The
covering and gradually carrying soil
down, aud in time filling the drain.
The water should never so straight
down into any drain, but should sink
in the ground and come in at the bo:-
tom. A drain laid in this way will
last hundred years New York

SEEDLINGS OF STONE FRUIT.

The opinion is often expressed and
the assertion Is frequently made, that
the seeds of peaches, cherries aud
plums will not grow if they are not
exposed to freezing. Joseph Mechan
very justly remarks that this opinion
is ,lisproved by the fact that seedlings
are raised in countries where they
never have frost, and that continued
supply of plenty of moisture will
crack them freely. The remark may
he added. that very common attempt
is made by persons not nurscrymen,
to raise seedlings from these seeds
after they have been kept for months
quite dry, after which they will not
gcrminaic. This rcmarl> applies TO
such seeds "a those of the chestnut,
walnut, horsechestnutsand stone fruits
generally, and we frequently hear
complaints from those who try to
raise chestnut trees from the seeds
which have been drying for months.
