Hints on Slaking Maple Fugar*
Last year several essajs were received iu re
spouse 10 cur call for experience on tliis import
ant topic. Oiber lengthy communications, for
which we had not room, were received from A.
Hrown, Somerset Co., Pa.; S. It. Griggs, Fay
ston (?>; L. F. A., Audover, Me.; J. K. M., Can
terbury, N. fl.; 11. 11. Doolittls, Ontario Co.,
M. Y., etc. Wo embody here the principal sug
gestions contained in these letters.
The time for tapping of course varies with the
locality and the character of the season. In
many places iu ordinary seasons, a large amount
of sugir is made during February. The busi
ness should commence as early as the sap will
flow.
Where hut few trees are atteuded to, the or
dinary utensils and fixtures used for household
purposes will bo sufficient; but where sugar
making is a part of the business of the farm,
the grove or "sap bush," uumbering from a
hundred to thousands of trees, special, and in
some cases extensive preparations are necessa
ry-
For tapping, a ? iuch bit is generally pre
ferred. The holes should he 1J to 2 inches
deep, entering only the sap wood, and inclining
slight 1 v upwards, to prevent the sap rem lining
aud souring in the orifice. "Uoxiug," or chip
ping is condemned, as injurious to the tree, and
gash being exposed to the light and air, the
wood soon dries, so as to require
ting or "freshening."
Wooden tubes, of quill elder, sumach, or
piue, as may he most convenient, are preferable
to tin or sheet iron. They should be fitted
closely into the opening. Pails or tubs of ce
dar or pine, the inside unpatnted, with a hoard
oover to cxtlule leaves and dust, arc the best
vessels for receiving the sap from the tree.—
They may be hooped with wood, and made quite
cheaply. It is well to have the top of larger j
diameter than the bottom, so that ice may be
easily removed, in ease the sap should freeze in
them. An auger h< le or notch cut in rho edge
of the cover, admits the sap into the pail.
When the trees are quite near each other,
labor may bo saved by using leading troughs, (
running from tree to tiee, aud all iiuully emp
tying into a receiving tub. Or a line of troughs !
from near the centre of the bush to the tub,
in iy be made, into which the collecting vessels j
are emptied. There is more wasted in this |
ru inner from ltakiug, spilling, and evaporation,
than in the cotuun n method of hauling the sap
to the boiling place in a capacious covered tub, !
mcouted on a sled.
Sheet iron pans, (Russia iron is bes*,) five or
six inches deep, set in masuu work, so that the
bot;om is exposed to the beat, will evaporate '
the sap much more rapidly tbau cau be done iu
the old-fashioned arch kettle.
A brick wall built across the middle of the
tire chamber, to within two inches of the bot
tom of the pan, will ihrow the heat agaiust the
bottom of the pan, and save much fuel.
Some of the most successful sugar makers
say, it is of the greatest importance in sugar
making, that the sap be reduced to syrup iu the
shortest possible time after being collected.—
Although the sup nruy uot sour iu several days,
its properties are undoubtedly affected by light |
und air, and the amount of crystallizable mat
ter considerably diminished, so that even if the
",UD" bo light for a few days, it is best to re
duce to syrup every Bor 12 Lours. This pre- \
caution is even more necessary in the latter pait
of the season, when the sap crystallizes with
more diffi.uity. JJy judicious boiling the a
•Viilablo run, may bo prolonged several days.
To "sugar off," tha syrup should be strained
through a thick woolen cloth into a medium j
sized kettle, aud reduced slowly, carefully
guarding against burning, as this would great ;
ly injure the color and quality of the sugar. It !
is sufficiently done, when threads of the thick
syrup break off short like glass, after couliug
quickly in water or on snow. Then remove it
from the fire, stir it continually, and when it !
begius to "grain," itiUiediaieJy turn it into the i
moulds. Graiued sugar is prepared in the same !
manner, only that the stirring isconiiuued uutil
the-mass is drv.
*
We have said nulhiig of claiifying, for ex
"perience has proved that if proper care be ta
ken to keep every article used ;n the various
processes scrupulously clean, and to preveut i
leaves, insects, etc., from failing iuto the sap, ,
uo clarifying ageuts arc needed. We have eat- |
cn maple sugar of the finest qual'oy both as to
flavor and color, made eutinly without clarify
ing.
The best foim for lily retail maikct, is in ■
small cakes, weighing from two to four ounces, i
as these are more convenient for peddliug out.

CCTCLORIOUS TRIUMPHANT!
Sworn statement of David McCreary, of Napier
| Township, Bedford county :
In April, 1856, as near as I can remember, a
I small pimple made its appearance on my upper lip,
• which soon became enlarged and sore. I used
j poltices of sorrel, and a wash of blue'vitriol, with
out effect. Finding the sore extending, I called on
Dr. Ely, of Scheltsourg, who pronuunced it CAN
CER, and proscribed a wash of sugar of lead and
bread poultices. Finding these remedies of no
avail, I caded upon Dr. ShuSi-r, of Davidsville,
Somerset county, who also pronounced the disease
Cancer, and gave me internal and external remedies
—the latter consisting principally of caustic ; but
all to no purpose, as the disease continued spread
ing toward the nose. I next used a preparation of
arsenic, in the form of salve. This for a time
checked the disease, but the inli titration soon in
creased I next called upon Dr. Statler of St.
Clairsville, Bedford county, who also pronounced
the disease Cancer, and applied a salve said to be a
never failing remedy, but it had no effect whatever
in checking the spread of the sore. In December,
of the same year, th 1 disease had eaten away a
greater part ot my upper lip, and had attacked the
nose, when I Wviit to Cincinnati, where I consulted
Prof. R. S- Newton, of theElactic Medical College.
He pronounced the disease <*a cutaneous Cancer,
superinduced by an inordinate use of mercury.
He applied mild zinc ointment, and gave internal
icniedies. My lace healed up, hut the intlamation
was not thoroughly removed. In Febuary, 185"
he pronounced me cured, and J left for home. In'
April the disease again returned and so violent was
the pain that I could not rest at night. Late in
May I returned to Cincinnati, and agaiu placed
myself under the charge of Dr. Newton, with whom
I remained until September, during which time he
used every known remedy, and partly succeeded in
checking the disease, but when I returned home
there wore still three discharging ulcers upon my
face. I continued using Newton's preparations,
and also medicine that I got from Dr. Ely, but the
Cancer continued growing until it had eat off the
left side of my nose, the greater portion of my left
check, and had attacked my left eye. I had given up
all hope of evei being cured ; since Dr. Ely said be
could only give relief; hut that a cure was impos
sible. In March, 1858, I bought a bottle of -Blood
Scearchcr,' but 1 must confess that 1 had no faith
in it. I was very weak when I commenced taking
it; but I found that I gained strength day by day,
and also that the ulcers commenced drying "up. I
continued, and when the third bottle was taken niv
face was healed as if by a miracle. I used a forth
bottle, and 1 have been healthier since than I have
been for the last seven years. Although my face
is sadly disfigured, I am stili grateful to a benign
Providence who has spared my life, and which has
been done through the instrumentality of LIXDSEY'S
IMPROVED BLOOD SEARCHER. D. MCCREARY.

NEW EVIDENCE.
Being afflicted with a grievous Tetter on the arms
and face—after trying many remedies which utterly
failed to cute —1 was persuaded by \V. M. Harris &
Co. to try Lindsay's Improved Blood Searcher; and
now, six weeks after finishing the seco. d bottle,
pronounced myself cured.
The letter broke out, something over a year ago,
on ibe inside of my arms, extending from the el
bows down to the wrists ; also, on my lace, int.
mediately round the mouth and ciin, and continued
to le a perfect torment to me until cured by the Blood
Searcher. My arms, were almost useless, owing to
the cracks and sores on them, liable to bleed at
any tune ou the least exertion to lilt or work, and
sometimes so itchy that I could scarcely prevent
tearing oil my flesh. I have now been cured six
weeks and feel it due to Mr. Lindsey, and to the
public generally, to make this statement, in hope
that others like myself may be benefitted by using I
his valuable medicine. ber
