groves by the name of orchards But
the average farmer refers to his sugar
bush, and his neighbors know what he
means.
The sugar making time comes at
most convenient season of the year for
him. He has finished cutting his next
summer s firewood and it is not yet time
to think about spring blowing. So he
and his boys and the hired man" have
nothing else to do but to watch the
weather and wait for conditions which
will make the sap run. When the event
full day arrives, the long idle hands are
stirred into activity.
The last 10 or 30 years have seen
many changes and Improvements in the
method of making maple sugar. Before
that time the farmer went about his sug-
ar making with such crude apparatus
as he could get or manufacture. 1t was
more of pastime then, for there was
not large demand for the product, and
but little expense was warranted.
With his ak he chopped V shaped
nick in the tree and drove in a Spite
that he had whitfield out of an elder
stick, from the center of which the pith
had been pushed. Under the end of the
Spite he set wooden trough, roughly
hewed from an ash log, and in this he
caught not only the sap which dripped
from the Spite, but leaves and twigs and
any sort of dirt which the wind might
carry.
There was deal of work in collecting
the sap by the old method. The farmer
fitted around his neck and across his
broad shoulders wooden yoke, from
the ends of which he swung two pals.
The boys and the hired man had similar
Jokes, and they trudged through the
woods with their burden, splitting good
deal Of sap and getting very tired.
As soon as he had hogshead full the
fire was lighted under the boiling kettle,
which was swung on an improvised
crane. Usually the soap kettle, secured
as clean as possible for the occasion,
was used. 1t was by no means a suit
able article, but it was the best he had.
The boiling down was hard work too.
Two persons were kept busy, one feed
ing the fire and the other stirring the
boiling sap to prevent the bottom from
burning. Constant Swimming was also
necessary, for all sorts of impurities
came to the top. When the sap ran free
ly, the gatherers were kept busy, and
frequently the shallow troughs over
flowed before they could be emptied.
The boilers had hard time to keep up
their part of the work, too, and often
worked night and day for two or three
days at time because the sap would
sour if left standing.
The sugaring off. however, was a
more leisurely process. This took place
after all the hard work had been done,
and it was usually made the occasion
for a rustic jubilee. The rich amber col
ored strip is again boiled until the chief
sugar maker makes the important an
nouncement that sit ropes.
At this stage it is suitable for making
into that delicious substance of which
the ancient epicures never dreamed, but

FOUR tongue. Even city people some
times indulge in maple candy parties
and make a base imitation of lack
wax by melting maple sugar and boil
ing it over again until it ropes once
more. But to get the true flavor you
must eat it when it is not many hours
out of the tree and in surroundings such
as only the sugar camp can furnish.
The modern sugar maker goes about
the task in much more businesslike
manner. 1t is no mere frolic with him,
for the owner of a good sized maple
orchard can make from $500 to $500 in
cash, and the income from his grove
forms a big item in his yearly revenue.
A grove of average size contains about
600 trees. and the owner of such a one
can afford to spend enough money for
improved sugar making apparatus.
In the first place, he does not chop in
to his trees with an ak, for that would
soon kill them. But he bores half inch
augur hole and into this fits patent
Spite of galvanized iron. On this he
hangs a metal bucket, fitted with
cover. He doesn't want any twigs or
leaves in his sap. In gathering the sap
he uses big hogshead, which he sets
On runners or wheels and drives about
from tree to tree with pair of horses
or oxen to draw the load.
In place of the sap kettle he uses an
improved evaporating pan, set in brick
fireplace and sheltered by a neat house
or shed. The pan is big, shallow af
fair, or 10 feet long. half as wide and
only a few inches deep. Across it run
partitions, so that when the sap is
pumped in at one end it must take
zigzag course in order to get to the 9TH
er end, which is slightly depressed.
This entirely does away with the neces-
sity for constant stirring and makes the
process a much quicker one than the old
method. At one end the thin sap is
poured in. either by means of a hand
pump or a siphon, and at the other it
flows out as clear amber strip. The sug-
airing is done in another pan and is a
somewhat longer process.
When the sap comes from the tree, it
looks like water with just the slightest
tinge of yellow in it, and a faint trace
of maplish sweetness can be distin-
guished. One barrel of sap, when boiled
down, will generally produce about
gallon of good strip, which will make
about 8 II pounds of sugar. These are
average estimates, of course, for some
times the sap will be richer and some
times thinner.
Perhaps you think that the maple
sugar industry is but small one and is
interesting only for it's novelty. This is
hardly so. According to the figures of
the national bureau of statistics the
United States produced in 1894 no less
than 1888, S06 pounds of maple sugar.
OF this amount Vermont furnished over
600 900 pounds and the rest was con-
tributed by New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio. Maryland, Michigan, Maine. New
Hampshire and few other states.
1t would be interesting if Uncle Sam
could also tell us just what proportion

GATHERING SAP IN THE SUGAR BUSH
of the whole amount reached the con-
sumers in an unadulterated state, for,
alas, it is a notorious fact that much of
the stuff labeled maple sugar. and
maple sirup'' and sold to unsuspecting
city folk never came from any tree and
has not the slightest tinge of maple
flavor about it.
The cheating is not done so much by
the farmers, however, as by the dealers
who handle and put it up in fancy bot
ties and sell it in pretty molds. True,
some farmers do yield to the temptation
to buy graduated sugar at less than
cents per pound, mix it with the product
of their trees and sell it again for from
10 to 10 cents pound, but the unscru-
pulous city wholesalers, who can use
glucose with even better success, do the
most of it. Vermont has stringent laws
against the adulterating of maple sugar,
and when you buy it in that state it is
generally pure. Nearly all the maple
sugar and strip which are sold any
where, however, are labeled as the
''pure Vermont article.
Any one who has ever tasted the gen.
uine product of the sugar bush cannot
easily be deceived thereafter. Pure ma
pie sugar is granular, and when broken
you can see the corners of the sugar
crystals standing out. The cakes are
hard, too, and you need sound teeth to
be able to take good bite. The spuri-
Gus maple sugar cakes which are ordi-
narily sold in cities are much softer, and
the grain is as fine as that of brown
sugar.
Less sugar is being made now than
ever before, for the sap is being made
into strip and sold in cans and bottles.
The Mckinley tariff law, which was re-
pealed in 1894, gave a bounty of ~
and cents per pound on all maple sug-
ar made, and the Vermont farmers
profited by this to the extent of over
800, 600 during the three years when
the law was in operation. But bounty
or no bounty they will tap their trees
this spring, for Uncle Sam has sweet
tooth and likes maple strip on his ma
tutinal hapjacks.

special from Hot Springs Ark, says:
There Is an imminent danger of huge
disruption in the national league. The
players are up in arms against the mag
nates and are openly talking of a strike.
The trouble has arisen over the new con-
tracts that every player in the league
signed this spring. The change in the con-
tract is small and makes the pay of the
players commence April 15. instead of
April !. and ends October II, instead of
October l.
The players claim that the contract is
framed to rob them, and that when they
signed they did not understand the full!
purport of it. They base these assertions
on the ground that in making the play
commence April u the younger players are
tried and work for nothing, where under
the old order they would have received fif-
teen days pay.

the contract fifteen days in October, the
masnates are perpetra ting robbery in de
priving them of a chance to profit by a
