To lose the cares of life in balmy sleen
To rest his body and renew it's power.

When labor rests and all the world
Is still.
All love to launch into thy sweet domain.

RECORD OF A SUGAR MAKER
Who Has Kept Track of Conditions
Since 1865.

The following interesting facts re-
garding the history of maple sugar
making are taken from the record OF
an East Dummerston farmer who mas
kept track Of the date OF tapping ana
the length Of seasons since 1866. the
average date of tapping during these
years Is March II although In 1880
his buckets were put out as early as
March 4. The latest seasons were In
1869 and 1872 when no sap fiowed I'M
iii April 2. The yield was below the
average In these years. The best sea-
son ever known was in 1874 when the
first holes We're bored March Is and
the buckets remained out for 80 days.
In that year one Dummerston man
made over 1900 pounds OF sugar. In
the season Of 1898 the yield was above
the average although buckets were
not put out until March 81 and re-
manned out but 2l days. The year
1902 saw the best yield since 1893.
The years of 1870, 1888 and 1892 were
unusually poor. but 1899, 1900 and 1901
were still worse, while last year the
sugar yield was only half the average
and II was the only year, according
to the record when no sap flowed IN
April. The longest season was In 1873
when buckets We're out for 80 days
and the shortest last year when they
were out only Is days. The average
length Of season Is about rs days
While these figures relate only TO
one orchard they give good idea OF
the different seasons hereabouts. al
