1t would be interesting if Uncle Sam could
also tell US just what proportion Of the whole
amount reached the consumers in an IN
aduiterated state, for, alas, it is a notorious
fact that much of the stuff labeled "maplo
sugar and maple sirup' and sold to I'M
suspecting city folk never came from any
tree and has not the slightest tinge OF ma
pie flavor about It.
TIE cheating is not done so much by the
farmers, however as by the dealers VINO
handle and put it up in fancy bottles and
sell 1t in pretty molds. True. some farmers
do yield to the temptation to buy granulated
sugar at less than five cents per pound, mix
1t with the product of their trees and Seil it
again for from 10 to Is cents n pound but
the unscrupulous city wholesalers, who can
use glucose with even better success do the
most of 1t. Vermont has stringent laws
against the adulteration of maple sugar, aud
when you buy it in that state it Is generally
pure. Nearly ell the maple sugar and strip
which are. sold anywhere, however, are la
beled as the pure Vermont article
Any one who has ever tasted the genuine
product OF the sugar bush cannot easily be
deceived thereafter. Pure maple sugar is
granular, and when broken you can see tho
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
spurious maple sugar cakes which are ordi-
narily sold In cities are much softer and the
grain Is as fine as that Of brown sugar.

the product, and but little expense was
warranted
With his ak he chopped q v shaped
nick in the tree and drove in a spile
that he had whitfield out Of an elder
stick, from the center of which the
p1th had been pushed. Under the end
OF the Spite he set a 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 collect
Ing the sap by the old method. The
farmer fitted around his neck and
across his broad shoulders a wooden
yoke. from the ends of which he swung
two pals. The boys and the hired man
had similar yokes, and they trudged
through the woods with their burden
spilling a good deal Of sap and getting
very tired.

ence to the delicately favored essence Of the

The way to make lack wax is to pour
a spoonful of the hot strip the snow, and
the time to eat it is just as soon as it is cool
enough not to burn your tongue. Even city
people sometimes indulge in maple candy par
ties and make base imitation of lack wax
by melting maple sugar and boiling 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 sur
roundings 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
good-sized maple orchard can make from
$500 to $500 in cash. and the income from his
grove forms big item in his yearly revenue
grove Of average size contains about GOO
trees, and the owner Of such one can afford
to spend enough money for improved sugar
making apparatus.
In the first place, he does not chop into his
trees with an ak. for that would soon kill
them. but he bores a hah-inch augur hole
ana 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 run
ners or wheels and drives about from tree

proved evaporing pan, set in a brick fireplace
and sheltered by neat house or shed. The
pan is a big shallow affair, eight or ten
feet long, half wide and only 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 other
end, which is slightly depressed. This en-
tfrely does away with the necessity for con-
slant stirring and makes the process much
quicker one than the old method At one
end the thin sap is poured in, either by means
Of hard pump or siphon, and at the other
it flows out clear amber syrup. The sug-
airing is done in another pan and is some
what longer process.
When the sap comes from the tree Il looks
like water with just the slightest tnge of
yellow in it, and a faint trace of maplish
sweetness can be distinguished. Ono barrel
Of sap, when boiled down. will generally pro-
duce about gallon Of good sirup which will
make eight and q half pounds Of sugar. These
arc average estimates of course, for some
times the sap Will he richer and sometimes

place, for it is then that the lifeblood Of

1t is only a short time now I'M
til the city elections. In addi-
ton to the election of aldermen
there will be a special vote taken
on the question of our city own
ing and operating an electric
light plant. While we do not
underestimate the Importance of
electing competent aldermen,
in our opinion the most important
issue at stake in, this election is
the light question. With the
great advantages we possess here
in regard to labor and fuel, mu-
nicipal ownership of light, water
and street railway franchises is
without doubt what we ought to
strive for. There is no question
but that a properly managed
lighting plant can and will be a
source of revenue to our city.
Other cities with much less adj
vantages than we have are MAX
ing large profits from electric
light and gas plants and there is
no good reason why we can not.
The first step to be taken in the
matter of owning and controlling
our own light is at the coming
election. To refuse or neglect to
vote counts the same against the
city ownership IS if you would
go to the polls and vote no. If
you are a registered voter make
your arrangements to be at the
polls and cast your ballot in IA
vor Of the plan. Those who op-
pose it are certainly acting
through selfish motives as we
doubt very much if any good ar
gument can be advanced on that
side. Calculating from any uu-
selfish standpoint the weight of
argument is by all odds in favor
of city ownership of a light
plant and our votes should be
cast accordingly.
