Il interviewed Wallace Farnum OF
Peru the other day, and he..says'after
using both the Grimm and Bellows
Falls cvaporators, be thinks good pans
and heater.will do good work enough.
Charles Sykes has made 200 gallons
of syrup from his equipment of 800
buckets placed at 200 trees. | think
Charles has broken the record, but one
thing that tells, he has made il his
bushes while it lasts.
"A few days ago experimental II
little with maple trees and | found the
sap running down in the sap cells in
stead of, according to my preconceived
notions, that il run from the roots 10
the branches, at this time Of the year.
i have been trying TO get concen-
sus OF opinion of our local sugar max
ers as TO the best equipment for syrup
making, and find AS much diversity
OF views as | have neighbors. Some
like Grlmm's evaporator, with its sy.
phon arrangement. Some prefer the
Bellows Falls evaporator; and some
declare there is nothing better than
pan with suitable partitions, and good
heater. Some object to galvanized
stock either for boiling the sap in or
for buckets. Mr.. Frank Walker warns
me not TO use it as il will cause the
sap TO sour much quicker than tin, as
IT is impossible to clean it as perfectly.
! have heard from some of the largest
manufacturers of syrup in Dorset and
declare that a Grimm evaporation which
he makes of very fine and heavy
quality Of tin, with heater back Of it,
increases the boiling capacity to double
its capacity without it. sometimes
think we are all in the dsrk ss yat. and
we may find much shorter method of
evaporation. III some smart Aleck will
devise separator similar 10 those used
for milk, We will give him a royalty
that will yield him an income equal to
John ID. Rockefeller's.
