MAPLE SUGAR.
sgidespread Ignorance on the pava sa
 Con8ux1ers


 Speaking of maple sugar brings ee aalnd the fact that there is no product of the farm concerning which there is greater ignorance on tho part of con- sumers than maple sugar and sirap. I; seems to be almost the universal opiniop that maple sirup to be genuine must be dark in color and of q thick, heavy body. l have carefully studied this mas- fer, and nm convinced that dealers in large towns and cities are largely ra. sponsibIe for this. Maple sirup is one of the easiest things to doctor. ; For in. stance. a gallon of strictly pure, light colored maple sirup is received, and for. elgn substances, as cane sugar or glu- eose, are added and three gallons mado and all are branded pure maple sirup. II
 Some years ago stepped into a gro. eeFy store in the city of Denver and in- guired if they had any genuine maple s1rup. Oh, yes"-and was shown cans branded "pure Vermont maple airup." asked the grocer if he would kindly let me taste sample. He did go, and as I looked up I suspect he be- gan to "smeil mice" and asked if waa a manufacturer of the article. said. " Yes, and l ship it every spring to your city. - Seeing he was fairly naught, he said The fact is I cannot fool you, I sec. This sirup of ours was probably made in Chicago. "
 Last spring ! sent a gallon by re- guest to 8 pastor of church in Brook iyn who in his boyhood days used to live on farm in Chenango county and knew what real maple sirup was, We sent him gallon of early make, of a light amber shade, and at once received word that the sirup was entirely ahead of any he had over seen, and that it was an utter iInpossibility to procure such in the city.
 Why is it impossible? I know fine sirup is made and shipped The fact is, as I said before, the consumer is noA allowed to taste that fine. light colored, genuinely pure article, for once he gets taste of it Che trade for the bogus ar- tiele is gone. 4 few days ago a friend told mo he sent a pound of fine sugar, made by one of cur farmers, to his mother in Baltimore. The cake weighed t8 ounces, and as 1t went by mail it cost him 18 cents postage. The letter carrier who delivered i ja rosssA fa something yaluahI9 to pay sO Mucn postage The lady said she could guess what it was. It was q cake of maple sugar her boy had sent her from New York.
 AS the carrier lived close by the lady soid him to come in during the evening and she would show him something good. Bo did go, but tho moment he saw 1t he said; You can't fool me- That isn't maple sugar. Maple sugar is always black. She chopped off cor ner and told him to sample is. He de- elared he had never seen maple sugar before and wanted the lady to write and order him 100 pounds. Tho sugar was shipped. cash received, and one man learned that maple sugar, in order to be genuine, need not be black as s Country Gentleman.

 Upon this narrow parapet in some cases less than 100 yards ill width, are crowded tho homes of 25, 900 people.
