Those who awaited themselves OF an op-
| portunity to visit the sugar works OF W. Y.
Peck Il Son during the season just past and
| inspected their plant for reducing sap into
| sugar by steam, have been readily convinced
that this advanced step In sugar making is
not only the quickest, easiest and cleanest,
but by far the cheapest method after the
first expense OF the plant. Mr.. Peck has
800 trees. A year ago, becoming convinced
from those for the amount Of labor, he
began experimenting with steam. He has
| an upright boiler called q twenty horse
power. Ills boiling pan is Of galvanized iron
ten feet long by forty inches wide and
eighteen inches deep, with a partition
nearest the boiler. The steam Is taken In
two places from the boiler in common inch
steam pipes and enters first place. 1t
passes through this into the next, through
serpentine manner through coils that are
four inches apart from center to center,
running lengthwise to the larger pans.
| From this the pans rise at the rear end OF
pan into heater where all the cold sap Is
heated previous to entering the boiling pan,
thus saving considerable heat From the
| coils In the heater the steam now enters an
| exhaust pipe with valves for regulating,
which returns thewater to the holder which
feeds the boiler. This holder, which holds
LWenUy-nV6 buckets OF water, Will laSt Jn6
boiler two days, with the exhaust pipe to
warm the water, which is returned with q
Blake pump to the boiler. BY this process
Mr.. Peck can boil in four hundred buckets
Of sap in ten hours, though he usually boils
at q little slower rate as he is convinced
that too rapid boiling colors the syrup.
The sap will boil in three minutes from
time the steam is turned on.
