manufacture of Maple Sugar.
The first great requisite is to have all the
vessels perfectly clean. Strict cleanliness
ehonld be observed throughout the whole pro
cess. Tin vessels are better than wood for
this reason. If properly washed, they can
never impart sourness to thesnp. Made large
enough to hold uiue quarts each, they would
cost about SSS per hundred, and six quart
pails cost S3O per hundred. They may be
n&de square or round, but the latter are bet
ter to clean aud keep in shape. They should
be largest at the top, so as to pack awav in
nests when uo'l in use. The top should be
strongly wired, like a tin pan, and a bole made
trader the wire euables it to bang on a nail
driven into the tree, securing it thus from swine
and other animals, aud preventing the sap
from- being, blown away by the wind. Old
borse-sboe nails straightened aud shapeued,
are the best
The best s|*outs are made of thick tinned
iron. Wheu l.ho vessel are hung as above de
scribed on nai.s, the spouts need not be more
than three inches long. They should be wid
est where they enter the tree. After the sheet
tin is cut up to the proper size, the concave
shape is .given to them by placing them be
tween a convex and concave pieee of wood and
giving them a brisk blow with a mallet. Made
sharp at the wide end, they are easily driven
into the tree.
Never allow the sap to stand in the pails
tWenly-four hours—the fresher it is wher. boil
ed the purer will be the sugar. While boiling
large quantit.es should not be poured in at a
time, as that will stop it, and make irregHlar
work ; but a reservoir should be placed above
the boiler, from which the sap may be drawn
in a stream through a faucet, just fast enough
to supply the evaporation. A little practice
will enable the operator to judge how large
this stream should be. Two boilers are better
than one if the fire is made to pass from one
to the other—the first or hottest being chief
ly for boiling down to syrop, the second or
coldest for beating the sap arid doing the first
evaporating. The faucet of fresh sap runs in
to the first, and a pipe or syphon, with faucet
conveycs it lo the second.
Kettles ire poor boilers—they waste fuel
and make poor sugar. Shallow sheet-iron pans
are mncb better. They may be kept cleaner,
fhey evaporate more rapidly, make finer sugar
and effect a greater saving of Jieat.
cases, should be so set that a thin sheet of
flame, two inches thick, uuder a boiler, is as
good as if a foot thick—the same amount may
therefore be spread over six times the surface,
•nd consequently be about six times more eco
nomical.
We have some good home-made pans, used
for boiling sorghum successfully, made by nail
iDg good thick sheet-iron to plank, so that the
sheet-iron formed the bottom and ends, aud
the plank the side—the sheet-iron was secured
to the planlc by two rows of closely driveD
nails. The pans were about eight feet long,
and four wide, and six inches deep. These
wonld be cheap, aud very good for making
maple sugar. The fire place should of course
be little narrower than these pans. The chim
ney should be high enough to cause a good
draugh.
To make gcod syrup, the sap must be re
duced to one twentieth or one-thirtieth of its
bulk. The syrup is then strained throng flan
nel, and placed aside to cool and settle twelve
or twenty four hours. Then return it to the
pan, and to every gallon add and stir a beaten
egg aud a gill of milk to clarify it, keeping it
carefully from boiling till the Scum has risen
and lias been skimmed off. Then boil it care- :
fully until it will harden, which may be known I
byjdropp'mg some from a spoon into cold wa
ter. Wlren this takes place, the liquid sugar
may then be poured iuto proper vessels, aud
then the cakes placed in a box to drain. To
make the sugar perfectly while, lay a few
tbicknesfies of flannel on the top of the cakes
while it is draining, these flannels to be wet
and washed daily with cold water—they will
thus abf.crb and wash out the coloring mat
ter.
A huadred good sugar maple trees will us- j
nally make in a season, from two to three hun
dred pounds of sugar, if well managed ; and if
every precaution ;s observed to ensure clean
liness, prevent souring, boil speedily and with- j
out burning, and to clarify properly, a larger ,
quantity of sugar will be made, it will be more
saleabh, and command a higher price ; or if
intended for borne use, the smiles of the farm- j
er's wiJ'e, when she sees such a beautiful arti- i
cle make its appearance, will more than re-
pay him for all the pains he has taken to se-1
cure such exoelleat success.— Country Gtn'le
