The house of Mrs Lois Whitney OF
Brookline, near Brattleboro, was

A loss of $4,000 was sustained as

$1,000.

II is thus seen that the difference in
favor Of the south and east sides of a
tree is quite pronounced, amounting
to three-tenths OF a pound Similar
trials comparing north and south tap
ping made in 1899 and 1900 also give
results that favor the south side.
On typical sap days it seems I'M
questionably true that a south exposure
will yield the most sap. On cloudy
day when all sides of a tree warm M
equally fast it is more nearly an even
thing.
A review of the figures also calls At
tention to a remarkable difference be-
tween trees. Number 4. from which
the greatest yield of the richest SAP
was obtained, was a large vigorous
tree standing in the open. As is well
known such trees give large amounts
of rich sap. This is due to the in
creased leaf area and full exposure Ia
sunlight. The green leaves in sun
light during the summer season make
starch from materials gathered from
air and soil. This starch Is stored
throughout the tree and is the source
OF sugar in the spring. Sunlight ex-
posure and leaf area are therefore i'm
portant factors in maple sugar pro-
dnciion.
The percentage of sugar in san FINN
different sides Of the same tree is found
to vary but slightly

In Memory Of an Indian.

The Champlain Transportation COM

the spring on the shores of Lake
George near the scene of the defeat of
the French in 1854 by colonial troops.
supported by the Mohawks, there will
be constructed an heroic bronze statue
of Sir William johnson and King Ken
drick, his Indian ally, 10 whose
sagacity the victory is largely due.
This memorial has been provided by
the village of Caldwell.
The story relates that in August.
1854, the French were making attacks
in three directions. General johnson
proposed to divide his forces into three
parties to oppose them. Kendrick.
when consulted, picked up three ar
rows and, handing one to General
johnson, asked him to break It. This
the general did readily. Kendrick

POINTS ON SUGAR MAKING.
Facts Demonstrated by Special Tests
at the Experiment Station.

During the past four years the Yer
mont Experiment station has conduct
ed a series of experiments dealing with
the flow and composition of sap in the
sugar maple. In spite of the poor
seasons a large amount of data has
been secured bearing on many points
of practical as well as scientific inter
est.
Among the findings are some that
throw light on the question, which
side of a tree gives the most sap?
In the season of 1901 four trees were
selected for this work and tapped at
the usual height on the north, south.
