quantities of butter or sweet oil are
poured over the surface to still the
turbulent syrup, but the Department
of Agriculture still recommends, along
with these, chunk of fat meat hung
so that it reaches just bit below the
surface of the vessel and so that the
boiling syrup, upon reaching it, will
melt the fat over the surface.
The sweet which nature provides
from the heart of a tree is far from
a constant quantity or quality. Early
sap, as has been said, usually is clear
err and has a higher sugar content
than that which flows later. But there
are also seasonal variations to be
taken into account and climatic con-
ditions in single year may have con-
siderable effect on the quality of the
product. With sugar content rang
ing from one-half of one per cent to
as high as ten per cent each tree an
nually may produce from five to forty
gallons of sap, and may contribute a
pint to gallon of syrup or from one
to seven pounds of sugar. From the
point of view of averages it is COM
puted that one barrel, or thirty-two
gallons of sap may be turned into
one gallon of syrup or seven and a
half pounds of sugar, and on this bas-
is the average tree may be expected
to produce three pounds of sugar or
three pints of syrup.

Government authority in both the
United States and Canada has stepped
in to bring about standardization of
quality in the sugar-maple industry
with, on the whole, very satisfactory
results. In both countries various
grade classes have been set up and
producers have been urged, through
the agency of cooperative selling or
CARNATIONS, to conform to these stan
dards.
Last year in Garrett county where
practically all of Maryland's sugar
maple industry is conferred, approx
mately half the producers banded to-
gether into the Garrett County Maple
products Association. This associa-
ton acts as sales agency for the
disposal of the members crops and
the various grades, as specified by the
Department of Agriculture, are seq
regated and packed in containers bear
ing the labels distinctive of the Mary
land growers.

partment of Agriculture does not hes
itate to advise as to the best methods
of planting and thinning trees and to
the most efficient devices for collect
ing and refining the sap, but even this
august authority equivocates when
confronted with the problem of which
side of the tree is best to tap and the
equally moot question of how large
the hole should be. From time imme-
mortal natives of the sugar-maple
country have failed to reach any har-
monious conclusions on these points.
Some say the trees should be tapped
on the south side where the greatest
amount of sunshine falls; others con-
tend that the longest and best flow
is obtained in the north side of the
trunk; a few, just to be different, hold
out for the east. The department ex-
perts simply review the controversy
and allow the prospective maple Gull
turist to take his choice.

There are still some sugar camps
where the old-fashioned iron kettle is
used to evaporate the sap, but these
usually are found in groves so small
that the production does not warrant
the purchase of more expensive and
more efficient equipment. In the we'll
ordered modern camp the sap is

Maryland stands in twelfth place,
according to the figures cited, with
23,155 gallons of syrup, but she jumps
up to fifth place in sugar production,
with 150,957 pounds. And if it were
not for the counties in the extrme
western end Of the SAGE, Maryland
wouldn't be in the running at all. Only
there is the climate suitable for the
production of sap in quantities suffi-
cient to make it's collection CONNER
cially profitable. Some varieties of
maple will grow fairly well in any
temperate climate, but the 'hard" ma
pies, which produce the sweet sap
in abundance are bit more particu-
lar. And, even where they do grow,
they will not produce sap in disable
quantities unless the climate is just
right.
This accounts for the comparative
ly restricted area of the sugar-maple
belt. The ideal climate is one in which
the transition between winter and
spring is a long one-where along
about the latter part of February or
early in March the days begin to
warm up a bit but the nights remain
frost-bitten. The northeastern tier
of States and the corresponding land
across the st. Lawrence and the lakes
in Canada are the most prolific pro-

ducers of maple syrup and sugar.
Farther south the industry exists only
in such mountainous areas as approx
innate the climatic conditions of the
upper States. In the warmer chimes
nature is too efficient; she sends the
sap coursing through the trees and
almost Immediately they burst into
bud, unimpeded by mighty frosts.
When the sap is running up north the
natives cast apprehensive eyes at the
weather lest it become unseasonably
warm, for without the cold nights ma
ture would complete her work of fol-
iation with too much dispatch and the
season would come to an untimely
end.
At best the sugar making season is
short one and those who work at
it must be on the alert constantly lest
nature steal march. Especially they
must be ready and in the field with all
of their equipment the minute the sap
begins to run. For the first run al
ways is the fastest and clearest and
nearly always it has the highest sugar
content. Later in the season the
flow becomes more and more uncer-
tain and the sap itself becomes cloudy
and takes on yellowish tinge; still
later this color becomes more pro-
nounced, the liquid is less pleasant to
the taste and the old-timer realizes
that he is drawing nothing but "bud-
dy sap," the term applied to the fluid
after the buds have begun to form in
the tree. When the buddy sap appears
the buckets are hauled in, the spouts
are drawn out of the tree trunks and
the harvest is over for another year.
The actual process of collecting and
refining the juices of the maple tree
has changed very little with the pass
ing years. Modern improvements
have been introduced, but they are
merely refnements on the methods
used when first the white man began
to exploit this sweetest of natures
gifts.
The cry of "sap's running" still
brings out the whole household and
perhaps the entire neighborhood.
Trees still must be tapped and buck
cts still must be tended by hand. The
ancient sledge or stone-boat still
glides among the trees carrying the
huge tank in which the sap from in
dividual trees is collected and hauled
to the huge fires over which the evap-
Grating process takes place. And these
fires still are, as a rule, in the heart
of the grove and the acrid wood smoke
which they give off adds a tang to
air that already is laden with the soul
moving favors of approaching spring.
Even the traditions of olden days
have not been lost entirely. The De-

house on sledges and emptied by gray
ity into large storage tanks. Thence
it goes into a modern evaporation con-
sisting of a series of metal trays
over a big wood fire. By means of
ladies or siphons it progresses from
one trap to another for the various
stages of evaporation until it is
drawn off from the last one as fin
ished product. But in the process it
must be tended very carefully; the
temperature must not be too high
nor too low; sediment must be re-
moved by skimming or settling-the
latter accomplished by the addition
of the white of an egg, whole milk or
soda-and usually the process is
topped off by filtering hot syrup thru
flannel to remove the last impurities.
Old-timers used to be quite adept
at determining the exact moment
when the syrup had reached the prop
err consistency and was ready to be
removed from the fire, but their meth
DDS were derived from the rule of
thumb. The speed with which bub-
bles rose to the surface or the rate
at which the syrup poured from a
spoon or ladle used to be the guides,
but now the modern hydrometer has
taken their place and the human ele-
ment has been removed entirely. The
United States Food and Drug Act,
which specifies that maple syrup must
contain not less than sixty-five per
cent of solids and must weigh eleven
pounds per gallon, has removed lot
of the guesswork and has also, with
out doubt, resulted in considerably
improved product. For if the solid,
or sugar content, rises much above
sixty-five per cent there is tendency
for the sugar to crystalline and if it
is much less than the standard great
deal of the flavor is lost.
***
The manufacture of maple sugar is
simply an extension of the evapora-
ton process to the point where great
deal more water is removed. But as
one may prove the youth of an egg
by poaching, so may the quality of
sap be determined by attempting to
reduce it to sugar. So called "sour
sap" and sap which contains impuri-
ties can be made into syrup, of an in
ferior quality to be sure, but still edi-
BILE and marketable. But only the
clearest and purest can be concen-
trated into hard sugar; the other
kinds produce soft, "mushy" product
of practically no commercial value.
In boiling the syrup for sugar there
is great danger that it will boil over
the rim of the container and to meet
this emergency various methods are
employed. The newest evaporators
have devices whereby small, measured

dismayed to learn of its much more
prosaic fate. Whole maple groves
output goes to the tobacco companies,
which find the syrup an ideal sweet
ener for chewing tobacco.

NEW YORK, March 3-Anybody
~ who wears spring suit this
year can have lot of fun choosing
blouses to go with 1t.
First there's the matter of making
up color Notwithstanding
naturalization right now.
Then there's the idea OF entirely
changing the looks Of the suit-and
the looks OF yourself-by the type Of
blouse you wear.
There are certain things you'll
notice on this years blouses to mark
them 1881. Many have the surplice
line. That is, they go on like a
jacket and tie or snap over to one
side-usually the left.
Surplice Is Prominent
Incidentally-you're going tc see
a great deal of this surplice or
diagonal closing this spring-in
dresses, coats and suits as we'll as
blouses.
Another is that lots are in double
breasted effect extending below the
waistline and fastening with four
buttons, two on each side of the
center.
Still another 1881 mark is the
tendency to higher necklines.
Some Of them really are high
such as the blouse sketched at the
left above. Others aren't high.
but merely higher than they have
been. Nearer the collar bone.
Sleeves Are Shorter
Fine handwork or trimming
that looks like handwork is some
thing else to watch for-if you want
to be in fashion. Fagotting, edge
treatments like scalloping or saw
tooth or lace, hand-rolled hens.
Shorter sleeves are appearing
in blouses, just as they are in
dresses-three-quarter sleeves, just
above-the-elbow sleeves and even
