NOW COMES MAPLE slRuP.
a Million Dollars Invested in the In

A Million Dollars Invested in the In
dustry-Large Revenue for Vermont.
| This is the time of year when maple
strip takes its proper place as king of
the condiments at the breakfast table,
says the New York World. 1t comes
in with buckwheat cakes and fried
hominy. There is just round million
of dollars invested in this country in
the machinery which produces and
puri1es the strip. The industry is con-
fined almost entirely to the few states
! north of Massachusetts,. That is be-
cause the maple tree refuses to flourish
in any but cold climate. 1t won't
grow in the northwestern states, for the
reason that it has to have plenty Of
moisture and that is to be had only near
the ocean. Fully 80 per cent of the
maple strip and maple sugar produced
in this country comes from Vermont.
The annual yield of strip and sugar OF
that state is valued at something like
100000. Seventy-f1ve per cent of the
product is consumed in this country,
and the rest is exported to Europe. But
it is not in common use beyond the sea
for the reason that it is very expensive
because of the freight and duty. In
England it is to be found in many of
the homes of the nobility, where it is
regarded in high favor, not only because
it is delicate and sweet, but because it
is a unique and costly product. There
is a good deal of mystery about the
origin of the production of maple sugar
and strip. By whom it was first dis
covered will probably never be known.
1t has been popular among the people
of the world for several centuries. Mil
ton must have known it, though he evil
IDENTIFY regarded it as an humble arti-
Gle, for in his Comus he says:
"For who would rob hermit of his
weeds,
His few books, his beads, or his maple
dish?"
The maple tree is active in summer
and passive in winter. The tree is ex-
tremely porous, there being, according
to the highest authority, about 100000
900 cells in every cubic inch of the wood.
In summer the tree absorbs moisture
into all these cells, which is condensed
into water. This water mingling with
the natural saccharine properties Of
the tree, becomes maple strip in crude
form. The tree is also extremely SEN
sitive to weather conditions. When in
February and March the maple begins
to Sweat" as the New England farmer
terms it, the tree wishes to unburden
itself and it does so whether the farmer
is on hand to get the benefit of the pro-
cess or not. But the farmer is generally
on hand. Before machinery was in
vented for the purpose the farmer. used
to furrow the trunk of the tree by slash
ing the bark lengthwise all around the
tree near it's base. A trough attached
to the lowest Of these burrows carried
the strip from the tree to the dripping
bucket and that constituted the process
of getting the product. The farmer
nowadays goes up to a tree, that is
sweating" casts his eye at the softest
spot in the trunk and drives into it to
a depth of several inches a metal tap
and this relieves the tree in splendid
shape The tree appears Just as anxious
to get rid of the sap as the farmer is to
gather it.
