Tho Modern Way OF sugaring.
(By Ora l.. Fisher ID, X. i. ID. 4

(By Ora l.. Fisher, 10, X. +. ID.

The way they used to sugar was to
boil sap in an old iron kettle. They
would 20 and gather the kettle full,
and let il boil down two or three
times and when taken of II was rather
black. but nevertheless everyone
thought il tasted fine.
The modern way Of sugaring is to
have an evaporator about IA feet long,
or even longer; they also boil by
steam, now. The sugar is whittier,
then, as it goes through a quicker pro-
cess.
We now have gathering and store
tubs, and years ago they used TO
gather the sap by hand and carry
to the kettle, when the sap or syrup
was about to run over, piece OF pork
was hung over the kettle, to Keep u
from running over.
The way we sugar now Is 10 20
around and tap the trees about the
first of March, sometimes earlier and
when there is sap enough to gather
we take horses or oxen and a gather
ing tub. The gathering tub holds
five barrels or more. When we have
tub full of sap We 20 to the sugar
house. There we have three store
tubs which hold 80 barrels. We have
n hired man, besides my father and
self. NY father does the boiling and
the hired man and | gather the sap.
Nv Younger brother helps us some;
we usually have the store tubs full at
night, that means when we have a
large run of sap. We can boil about
30 barrels a day. The quicker the sap
is boiled, the whittier the syrup.
Most springs after We have Few
DAYS of sugaring the sap seems to dry
up. and we have cold weather Dur,
ing this time we cut sugar wood ana
draw to sugar house, and also cut logs
to take to mill. After few good
runs we tap over and start In sugar
ing again. ,ooo ao $40
gallons of syrup. the most We ever
made. Then we had to hustle; we
sat up and boiled all night. The hrst
sap we have, never makes as white
sugar.
One day since we began sugarlng
the hired man and / gathered so bar
rels of sap, cut a cord of wood, milk.
ed 90 cows, fed horses and pigs; we
call sugaring busy time
The most buckets we ever set was
900 We set 90 buckets to one tree
OF course the tree was an extra large
one. Sometimes the buc kets were
nearly all full, so one. can imagine II
kent two men busy gathering the sap. i.
we usually sugar from the first OF
March until the middle of April or
sometimes the first of May. After
sap stops running we have to gather
the buckets, spouts and nails. we
wash the buckets, pack them together
and put them in the sugar house.

Exaggerated Statements Concerning Ernest M. ArnoId's Affairs-Men1-
 bers of Bar Tender Complimentary Banquet to Judge George w. Wheel

Characterizing reports published rel ative to his business affairs during the past few days as gross exaggera tions and making the statement positively that the condition of his interests is not impaired to any great extent Err nest M. Arnold stated Friday after noon that while he had had a diffi- culty with a Danielson man that re- suited early this week in the placing of an attachment for $1,0S5 (not $500,- 000), on his office equipment and other things of small value, there was not warrant for the supposition that he was about to go into bankruptcy. The claim of the Danielson man is pending settlement Mir. Arnold stated that if he was not crowded at the present time that he saw nothing in the future that was not bright and that much of the matter printed about his busi- ness Wednesday and Thursday was wholly fabrication. Mir. Arnold said that he was going to call meeting of persons that have made investments with him; that he will lay the facts of the case before them and explain the situation exactly as it Is. He ex- pressed full confidence that the out come would be satisfa ctOry.

Ex.Prs.idents as Mentors.

The influence of ex-presidents on the policies of their successors is no new thing in our politics. Perhaps Washington is not quite within the category for John Adams was not easily influenced; but we all know that Washington in the very last weeks of his life was the object of appeals to reverse his opinion on the third term,' coming from Fedefalists who feared that without him as their standard bearer their cause was lost. Jefferson was the monitor of many ad- ministrations. Monroe sought the ap- proval of the Sage of Monticello" for his famous doctrine. Madison in his retirement was consulted. Jackson when he left the White house left an understudy in the. presidency, and at the Hermitage was q power often in- voked. Martin Van Buren became the free soil candidate for president in 1S4S, eight years after his defeat for re election. Willard Fillmore, the eX- president, was the candidate of the "American" party in 1856, and his candidacy greatly complicated the sit nation and contributed not a little to Fremont's defeat. Even John Tyler sought to be an influence, for he was one of those who negotiated in vain to prevent the outbreak of the civil war.-Boston Transcript.
