one that can make the best sugar in
the least possible time with the least
amount of fuel. Evaporators are made
of galvanized iron CT steel, copper or
tin. They are usually supported on iron
arches lined with brick, but sometimes
the arches are made entirely of brick.
Storage tanks, draw tanks, strip tanks,
buckets and pals are of galvanized
steel, tin or wood. We consider galva-
nized steel the superior article because
it will not rust. Bucket covers can be
of wood or tin; spouts, steel or tin.
Take a sugar place of 5000 trees or,
rather, one that uses 5000 buckets.
When the boss thinks it is time to
sugar" the men are set to tapping the
trees. A three-eighths or one-half inch
bit is used, and in large trees the hole
is bored about two inches deep, in
smaller trees only about one and Il half
inches. Spouts are driven or screwed
in, buckets hung to each spout and
covers, if they have them.
Some trees are tapped in two or three
and oftentimes four places, hanging a
bucket to each spout of course. Then,
the weather being right, the sap runs.
and the teams are started as soon as
possible, for the quicker the sap is
made into sugar the better the sugar is.
Men with pals holding sixteen
quarts go to each tree, collect the sap
and empty it into the draw tank,
which is being hauled about on a
sugar sled' by pair Of horses. These
tanks hold anywhere from twenty-five
to fifty pailfuls. When a load is Sc
cured, the team is driven to the sugar
house, and the sap. by means of four
inch pipes, is drawn from the draw
tank to the storage tank.
The storage tanks are placed on
staging on the outside of the sugar
house and connected with the evap-
orators by rubber hose or iron pipe,
the flow of sap from storage tank to
evaporators being regulated by auto
matte valves. Thus the sap enters one
end of the evaporator working back
and forth through partitions and cor
rugations till it reaches the other end
of the evaporator, when it is drawn off
as "sirup.''
The sap is not handled" any from
the time the men pour it into the draw
tanks until it comes out a finished
article. E., maple strip at eleven
pounds to the gallon.
This may be put away in sirup tanks
and allowed to cool and settle, and

silage as a MIX Food.

The silo is gaining friends every year,
and it will not be many years until ey-
cry progressive dairyman will put his
corn crop i'll a silo and thus get the
best possible results from it, says Dairy
and Creamery. Corn is the cheapest
feed that can be grown in this country
and in the shape of silage is the best
food for dairy cows. Mr.. d. NJ. Nc
Pherson, Lancaster, Canada, keeps
seventy cows on 125 acres of land, and
these COWS average 1000 pounds of
milk year, and this great yield is
made on silage. Experiments have
proved to Mr.. Mcpherson that corn
fodder is not as valuable as corn ST.
lage. The difference in his herd amounts
to 500 pounds of milk day. In speak
ing of his system of keeping cows Mr..
Mcpherson says:
actual experiments have proved
that for every thousand pounds weight
of a live animal twenty-six pounds of
food daily are required in properly
balanced ration. That will give enough
as a heat producer and flesh former
for either beef or milk. How can that
food be supplied at least cost? 1t is
quite possible for every farmer to have
each COW give 5000 pounds of milk a
season at cost of only so to go cents
per hundred pounds. l have reduced
the cost of producing milk to 40 cents
per hundred. Farmers are losing daily

How to Clean the Bath Sponge

Before using a sponge beat it and
shake it well; then let it lie in cold wa
ter all night. Next day rinse it through
two or three fresh waters to remove all
sand and dust When, after using
some time, it becomes sticky and
Shiny, soak it in warm water with am
monia in it, tablespoonful of liquid
ammonia to a pint of water being the
correct quantity. Let it lie in this an
hour; then rinse in warm and then in
cold water. Set it in a current of air tc
dry. A sponge should always be set
where it will dry thoroughly. 1t is a
good plan to hang it in large meshed

CHARCOAL FOR Pottls,n nn,.,a.

CHARCOAL s'of t'otEEt1Rs EDaA'S.
Good soil is of course necessary for
successful results in potting bulbs. but
even good soil coming directly in con-
tact with the bulbs is very liable to
cause bulb rot To avoid tbs the pre-
caution to line the hole or receptacle
for the bulb with sand is usually nee,
essary. Many successful growers, how
ever, prefer charcoal dust to sand and
claim it TO be an almost certain pre-
ventiye of the trouble. The method is
certainly worthy a trial. and to be sue
cessful the bulb should be entirely coy
cred with the charcoal, allowing no
soil to come in direct contact with the
surface of the bulb.-Cor. Rural New

Rayarian Hons.

Although hops have been grown in
this country for a great many years,
they have always been inferior as com
pared with the best European hops,
and, as they bring lower price in the
market and are not so desirable as the
Bavarian hops, cuttings of the bCEt of
the latter were imported last year.
These cuttings have been placed in the

States and, according to the report of

Raise Your own Cows

There is one important advantage at
least in raising your own dairy cows
and that is you can know to a certain
ty just how long they can be depended
upon to maintain profitable flow of
milk. and this in the dairy is an i'm
portant consideration, as to be profit
able dairy animal the length of time
she viii give good flow of milk is as
important as the quality.-Tennessee

dust. The fowls will appreciate it and

snrnvin- Chilled Frnifs.

In California after frost, or, rather,
just before frost has ended, a spray
ing device is used to advantage. Its
chief function is to prevent too rapid
warming of the chilled fruit. 1t is said
by horticulturists that even the light
coating of ice formed in this way
does not seriously damage the fruit 1t
is very likely that the latent heat of
qualification set free by the change
from water to ice may play helpful
part, but the chief effect is to prevent a
too rapid thawing.

Rich Soil and Water FOR the Peon,

Rich Soil and Water Tor the Peony.
All the peonies are gross feeders.
The great size of their annual growths
naturally eXhausts the plant in poor
soil, and an annual mulch of manure
laid down for the distance of a foot OF
more around their stems should be Civ
en- to these plants each spring. Rich
deep soil, well MANFRED at planting,
will also help them to develop quickly,
and an occasional thorough watering
in dry summer weather is beneficial.

Why the Pot Plant Doesn't Grow.
If pot plant growth is sluggish, do
not add more water to the soil where
water is not needed. Remember that
ailing plants require but little water.
To apply more than is taken up or
evaporated is to make the soil less con
genial to the plants.

The Poor Cow.

Feeding the poor is only collateral to
wasting fodder in the field, and as it
is business axiom that the first loss is
always the best it is likely wiser to
lose the fodder directly than lose it
through an Improbable animal after
having added the cost of hauling and
feeding, says W. L. McSparrow in Ma
tional Stockman. The COW adds no
manurial value to the fodder. This is the
COW also for which no man can afford
to buy commercial feeds She is the
loves labor lost of the dairy. She is
part of the undertOw to the farm. She
is more of drain on the farm than the
everlasting manure pile out under the
rain drip" She steals the farmers la
Dor and his hope. The much maligned
mortgage is insignificant by her side.
She drives the boy from the farm and
makes the girls shy of farmer boys
matrimonially inclined. Verify, she is
a fifteen dollar animal using twenty
five dollar feed.
