farmer's Dcpnrtmrut. Maplo Sugar Making. To the Editor of the American Agriculturist. In response to your solicitation for practical Information relative to the making of sugar from the maple I offer my mite. It is well known that Maple Sugar is one of the staple productions of the Western portion of the " Southern Tier" of New York. It has of course, been a matter of no little interest to our farmers to manufacture in the best maimer, both as to quality, and economy, an article of so much importance, and many have prompt ly adopted the means and appliances whieh in genuity has suggested and experience proved worthy. The first premium awarded at the late State Fair, was given for nti article made In Allegany County. In offering a statement of the process and implements used, I give ♦hose adopted aud used by those engaged some what extensively in sugar making, and who make a very superior article. In tapping, a 5-8 or 3 4 angtr bit is used, making the hole 1 1-2 or 2 inches deep. The j spout is made of hard wood, fonr or five in ches long, a hole bored with a small bit through its length, and turned in a lathe, one end to fit the hole made by the bit in the tree, and the other with a head, over which the wire loop attached to one edge of the bucket, is slipped j and held. The end of the spout is made quite tapering, or " stunt" as it is sometimes termed, so as fill the hole perfectly tight at its entrance in the bark of the tree. This allows all the ■ap to pass through the spout, and prevents its escape otherwise. To " freshen'' another hole is bored and other s|>out inserted near the first, so that the same bucket receives the sap from both. The buckets are usually made of pine, hoop ed with ash or iron, and sometimes the outside is painted. On one side at the upper edge of the bucket, a wire loop is inserted, large enough to pass over to the end of the spout after it is firmly driven into the tree, by which the buck et is hung. This dispenses with the sheet iron or tin spout, the gouge, and the nail. Many furnish covers to each bucket, which arc made from blocks of pine, sawed of the proper length from which thin pieces arc riven with shin gle frow. On one side or edge of these thin pieces a notch is cut, through whieh, when j properly placed on the buckets, the sap drops | from the spout. This cover excluded all rain j and snow, leaves and bark. When the "Sugar | Camp" is inclosed (and all should be,) and all ; kinds of stock excluded, the bucket should be ' hung near the ground, but otherwise, they may i be hung out of the reach of sheep and swine,! aDd reasonably from cattle. The boiling is done in sheet iron pans, made by the tinner, usually of two or three sheets joined by rivets, the sides and ends turned up five inches, a heavy wire around the upper edge I in the manner of a dripping pan. Iron loops . are riveted on at proper distances to serve as ! handles. Three of these pans placed on a j well constructed arch, tlip two back pans plac-! Ed each its height higher than the one imme- 1 diately before it, small lancets placed in the ! two rear pans so that the back one may be ' discharged into the one next forward it. and that into the front one is found to he a great i convenience. A large store tub, placed so that it will ; stand its whole height above the upper or back pan, should be provided with a good cov er, a good faucet and spout reaching from the , tub to the pan. By the faucet and spout the ! sap may flow from the store tub to the npper pan, and from that to the second, and so to tin third or front pan. The supply tnay be regit lated by the faucets in each, so that the flow to all will be regular and sufficient. For gathering, a sled should be provided with a moderate sized tub firmly fastened upon it, which tub should have the upper head placed four or five inches below the upper end. Two 2-inch holes should be bored through this In ad. In gathering, a team attached to the sled pass es along the roads that traverse t e camp at proper intervals, the sap is taken from the buckets in pails, and poured on the upper head of the gathering tub, and passes through the holes until the tub is full. It is then drawn to the proper place to be discharged into the ■tore tub. The discharge is through an inch and-a-fuurth bole in the bottom of the gather ing tub, by a spoilt reaching to the top of the atort tub. It will be seen that the ground where the u camp" is built should he uneven so that the store tnb may be placed above the highest pan on the arch, and the gathering tub when standing on the sled already to discharge may stand a little above the top of the stoie tub. The discharge from the gathering tub is rlosed by a long " plug" which passes through one of the 2-inch holes in the upper head into the I 3-4 hole in the bottom. The spout from the gathering tub should be well made, with the end receiving the discharge tightly cover ed, and a hole through the cover large enough to receive the discharge nod not waste. This spout is placed on the sled-runner aud easily and firmly secured. When the season is somewhat advanced.the weather warm, aud the buds begin to grow, it is often difficult to make sugar. The difficulty i 6 obviated by putting a spoonful of quick lime in each bucket. The sap becomes sweet, and the syrop- granalates frerfy aud is quite as w bite arid pleasant as ever. In " saga ring off" the syrup is carefully strained in-toa medium sized cauldron kettle, aud carefully reduced until it becomes sugar, some adding milk or other sub stances to '• cleanse," and others rejecting it entirely. Indeed, when covers are used on ♦he buckets, the gathering and store tubs, the pans well placed on a well constructed arch ■oder cover, and the whole process conducted with the utmost neatness and order, the u cleansing process" is quite unnecessary. The cost of buckets mud spouts is sl2 1-2 te sls per hundred, according to materials and workmanship ; puns s££, to $5 each, according to- size,, and quality of materials. Iron bound pine buckets are pjefenibJ-e- to tin, and cost much lesa. Tl>e put* oxide entirely of isou, in the manner describe*i. are- tar better tiwi* tb'jc with wood sides, less lialdc-to le;k, easier kept clean, sweeter„ and more-easier to handle-. The cost for the sanac star and quality of iron ia not materiality more. With this suit of apparatus, perfect cleanii ness may attend tlie whole process, the sap and syrup are not ttaundy embittered, nor sour ed by a combination of sap* muix snow, leaves, buds, coal, and ashes. At> twtieic is readily and economically produced, ahuolt rivaling the snow in whiteness and purity, jdensmit to- the sight, and xceedingly pleasant to the taste, as 1 hope you may have the opportunity of testing, when " Fair handed Spring tmboKums evi-ry grace."
