With the syrup season about to
open, and an opportunity this year to
get a better price for better syrup
through the State inspection service,
every producer should consider care
fully few of the important items
which affect the quality of maple
syrup.
Prompt Boiling
Have everything in readiness for
promptly boiling the sap as soon as
it is collected. Color determines grade
as recognized by State inspection, and
sap which has not been boiled prompt
ly is almost certain to produce dark
er syrup than promptly boiled sap
and you lose by just that much on a
higher price for better syrup. -:
Eleven Pounds to the Gallon !
Make every effort to finish off syrup
at eleven pounds to the gallon-no
more, no less. If the syrup runs I'M
der this weight, sugar will almost
surely occur. In either case, the GUS
toner will be dissatisfied, and the
good name of your syrup is hurt.
Don't take chances. Provide yourself
with a good hydrometer, and use it.
Such instruments may possibly be
purchased locally, or they may be Sc
cured directly from Taylor Instru-
ment company, Rochester, New York.
Care in Packing Cans
Use care in packing cans in boxes
or barrels. A dented can makes
poor appearance, and with labels on
cans even greater care must be taken,

ST. VALENTINES DAY SAID
TO BE OVER 17OOYEARS OLD
Is Survival of Pagan Holiday
Exchange of Gifts Was Custom

The approach of St. Valentine
Day, February IA, is heralded this
year by the publication in the current
issue of the Golden Book Magazine
Of the result of interesting researches
into the origin and early observances
Of the day.
Although the day stands second
only to Christmas among the Older
Christian observances, dating back
more than 1,700 years, there is little
to connect appropriately the modern
custom of comic and sentimental val
entines with Valentine, the early
Christian martyr, who was beaten
with clubs and beheaded at the time
Of the great heather festival of love
and publication, whose name it bears.
What happened, it appears, is that
early Christians simply continued the
observance of the pagan love festival,
irving it the name Of the martyr.
During the first 1000 years of Chris
tianity the valentine was an impor-
tant social institution. In some Eu-
ropean countries names of boys and
girls were drawn in lottery, and the
individuals thus paired together were
popularity supposed to court each
other during the ensuing year.
This custom, with variations, was
continued until we'll into the seven
teenth century. st. Francis deSales
at that time severely forbade ths
custom of valentines. or giving boys
in writing the names CT girls to be
admired and attended on by them, and
to abolish it, he changed it into CIV
ing 'billets' with the names of certain
saints to honor and initiate in par
ticular manner"
In Old, England the observance took
the form of the exchange of gifts,
and once it was more important thar
Christmas in this respect. Samual
Pepys, of diary fame, wrote that he
had expended 40 shillings upon white
gloves for his valentine. But Pepys
gift was modest compared to some,
The contemporary Duke of York, Ter
example, bought for 300 pounds sterl-
ing, of $4,000 today, jewel for his
valentine.
In parts of the British Isles the OBJ
servance of St. Valentines Day was
maintained until less than so years
ago, the Golden Book article shows.
A Norfolk publication of the 1S70's
reported:
"It is customary at Norwich for val
entines to be received not only on the
18th of February as in other districts,
but on the evening Of the 18th, st.
Valentines Eve. Another peculiar
feature connected with this festival
in Norwich is that the valentine in
stead of being ornamental billet
doux' is some article of intrinsic val
ue. The Norwich papers, for some two
or three weeks prior to St. Valentines
Day, contained a number Of adver-
tisements attracting attention to
goods that are suitable for valentine
presents"
