CALLING Cards,

Formal correspondence has suffered
a change this year, brought about per-
haps by the change of attire. One
point especially noticeable is that
women's visiting cards are somewhat
smaller than usual, due to, the fact
that they must fit into smaller mesh
bags than heretofore. Girls cards are
likewise one size smaller than those
of their married sisters, and perhaps
because Of society's superstition they
are no longer engraved Again, they
may have delicate touch Of color.

TO be worn with the attractive
blouses of crepe de chine, which
are such an important factor in spring
apparel, many collars have been de-
signed. They are to serve the double
purpose of protecting the neck of the
blouse and providing quickly adjusted
decorative touches. There is great
demand for them, and therefore an
endless variety in designs.
The collars in the picture are adj
justed to the same blouse. The blouse
is of sand-colored crepe worn with a
suspender dress of brown broadcloth
and plain except for small sprays of
embroidery at each side of the front

The pants are joined to the body
with strong, narrow beading and fin

suits were slightly in favor of tap
ping on the south side of the tree
over any other points of the compass,
although the advantage was chiefly
noticeable on bright days. There was
little difference between the south and
east sides, but the west side gave the
least flow. On cloudy days, whan
all sides of the tree warm up equally
fast, the flow was about the same all

The larger the hole bored for the
spout, the more sap and sugar were
obtained, but owning to the draining
of the tree and the difficulty of heal
ing over where large holes are used, it
is recommended to tap with three
eighths to five-eighths inch bit. The
largest yields of sap and sugar were
invariably derived from the tissues
as the depth of the hole increased
and in a general way the sugar con-
tent likewise. For larger trees a
depth of three inches was found suffi
cient. and for smaller secondgrowth
trees an inch and half or two inch
tappings are recommended, according
to the size of the tree. More and bet
ter quality of sap was obtained by
tapping about four feet high than at
the ground level or higher on the
tree. The spouts high up IA feet)

one above another, as is frequently
done, were found to affect each other
even though they were several feet
apart. The larger part of the sap and
nearly two-thirds of the sugar were
obtained in the forenoon's run.
1t has been suggested that the tree
should be tapped on the side where
there are the most branches, when,

respect, on the theory that the sugar

on this point. with trees that had ap
proXimately nine-tenths of their
branches on one side, showed that in
such trees the sugar is distributed

tapped out as well from one side as
another.

time in this study, have a practical.

the amount of sugar in the sap of diff

The art of making maple sugar dates
back to the early pioneer days of New
England, and even beyond that, for it
was practiced by the American In.
dams. The settlers in Vermont
learned it from them, and depended al
most entirely upon the maple for their
domestic sugar supply. Indeed, within
generation or so it was used to a
considerable extent in place of COM
mon sugar in localities where it was
made 1t is a strictly American in
dustry. as the sugar maple does not
grow naturally in Europe; and in the
minds of many is perhaps more close
1y associated with sentiment than
most any other branch of farm work.
generation ago the sugar season
was a regular part of the yearly pro-
gram IN certain regions, and sugar
ing" was an important source of reVe-
nue. to the farmers. Although the place
of maple sugar and strip in the do
nestle economy has materially
changed and these products have
been adulterated and initiated to an
extent calculated to drive the pure
article entirely out of the market, the
industry has persisted, and has now
become largely specialized business
devoted to the production Of what has
become a luxury.
The returns of the last census show
that sugar making Is carried on upon
nearly $4,000 farms. and repre-
sents money value in the prod
ucts of upwards of 100000 in fair
year. The average maple sugar crop
is placed at approximately 45,OOO,OOO
pounds, although it fluctuates consld-
erably with the season. The last cen
sus year, which was an unusually poor
one, owing to the unfavorable weather
and the prevalence of the forest tent
caterpillar which defoliated the trees.
the crop fell to less than 300OO,00O
pounds. 1t is made principally in YER
mont, New Hampshire, New York,
Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania, Yer
mont leading all the other states and
producing from fourth to third OF
the crop. Ohio is the greatest sirup-
producing state, and in 1900 made
nearly one-half of the total product
or nearly 100000 gallons.
While improvements have been made
in the mechanical operations OF the
industry over the primitive methods
formerly employed, very little has
been definitely known about the the
cries of the flow of sap and the condi-
lions influencing it. These, of course
must lie at the bottom of intelligent
sugar making.
The cause OF the rise Of sap is a
physiological one, due to several in
fiuences, but not, as was formerly sup
posed, to root pressure. This the in
vestigation clearly showed Early in
the season the ground is covered with
snow which protects the roots. Now
come a few typical sap days-freez-
ing at night followed by warm day.
The limbs and trunk of the tree are
warmed, pressure is produced, and a
goodly flow of sap follows. The roots
and portion of the trunk below where
It is tapped do not heat up like the
upper part of the tree; hence the
pressure of the sap is greater from
above than from below. Towards night
the tree cools down again, and the
flow gradually ceases. A freeze oc
