The Color of Maple Sugar

A writer in the Rochester Democra f and Chronicle says that old-fashioned maple sugar-the kind that was dark in color, waxy and rich-havored-has s disappeared because modern processes turn out highly refined product. Peo- pie get pure sugar now, but that can also be obtained from cane and the beet. The old-ti1ne farmer with the maple sugar of other days is greatly missed. His formula beats any of the later improvements in chemistry in this line.
