He In Greatly Missed.

A writer in the Rochester Demo
crat and Chronicle says that old-fash-
toned maple sugar-the kind that was
dark in color, wavy and rich-favored
has disappeared because modern
processes turn out highly refised
product. People get pure sugar, but
that can also be obtained from cane
and the beet. The old-time farmer
with the maple sugar of other days
is greatly missed. His formula beats
any of the later improvements in
chemistry in his line.
