Sugar. Making—Sugaring Off.
EDITOR CO. GENT. —I have been reading of
late the process of manufacturing maple sugar
of your different correspondents. They de
scribe the process very well as far as tbey go,
but it seems to me they have left out the most
esentia! part, viz : Sugaring off. The way it
is generally managed by a great majority of
sugar makers, is a tedious business—put into
pot or boiler over a stove, and then
watched aod tended for half a day or more—
the sweating business generally attended to
by the women of the household, and if left a
moment to other duties, over goes the sugar,
and the labor of a whole day lost, and perhaps
the sugar burned at last. The way to do it
ts to have a brass kettle that will bold fuur or
five pailfuis—a pot or kettle will do if nothing
better is at baud. Take it to the sugar bush
with you, whieh saves the labor of lugging
the syrup half a mile or more to the house
(which by the way is an up hill business,) and
relieves the wouieu of a disagreeable job. Stick
down a couple of crotches, put a pole across,
and hang the kettle with a cbaio—have a plat
form ready to set your dishes upon to receive
the- sugar. After clensiog, which should be
done with a slow fire, put in a lump of butter
as large as a butternut, for a batch of fifty
pounds. Then start a smart fire and do uot
let the fire slack till towards the last, when
there will be a good bed of coals to finish up,
whieh is better than a blaze. It will not run
over, if it shows any tendency to ruuuing
over, add a little more butter. One hour is
sufiicieut if driven smartly, to bring the mass
to caking condition. The faster it is sugared
down the better will be the sugar.
The way to know wheu it is done sufficient
ly to cake ; take the twig of a tree about a
foot aud a half long, dip it into the boiling su
gar to limber it \ then tie a loop iu the small
end, leaving the hole about half an inch in di
ameter. When yju think it is nearly done,
dip this loop into the sugar aud bring it up
quickly, aud blow through the loop hole.—
Wheu it will go off in a ribbon eight or ten
feet long, it is done ; but wait a few minutes
then try again till it will perform according to
order. Take it off, stir it a short time ; theu
pour it into your caking dishes, aud the work
is done. Theu you can carry it to the house
without sloppiog over.
Tne great secret is the lump of batter. Su
gar makers, try it.
Sow SPRING WHEAT EARLY. —" My experi
ence teaches me,' says a correspondent of the
Wisconsin Farmer, " that we must sow our
wheat as early as possible. There is hardly
auy danger of sowiug too early. Two years
ago 1 sowed a small piece iu Canada Club
spricg wheat on the fifth day of April. That
piece yielded 33 bushels to the acre in that
poor season The berry was plump and heavy,
weighing 01 1-2 pounds to the measu ed bush
el. 1 continued to sow, as the rains aud state
of the weather would allow, until about the
first day of May, and I must suy, that just in
proportion to the 'date of sowing, were the
amounts aud quality of the crop ; the piece
which was sown and harrowed the last day of
April being badly rusted, aud not yielding over
eight or nine bushels of poor shrunken wheat
per acre ; while that portion of the field cov
ered about the 10th of tho same month, turn
ed out between twenty-live aud thirty bushels
of very marketable grain. The piece sown
about the 18ih aud 20th of April was not so
good as that sown before, yet far better than
the last sown."
In connection with the foregoing the New
Englaud Farmer remarks, that of the two
wheat crops submitted last year to the Essex
county Agricultural Society, one was sown
April 7 th, and the other " when the harrow i
struck the frost" The premium was awarded
to the latter sowing.
Tns BEST TIME TO Sow PLASTER. —For about
a dozen years, we have annually made experi
ments, on sowing plaster. TTe have had it
sowed on grass land in every mouth in the
year, except November and December. We
have been successful, some times, with most of
the different applications ; but have invariably
been fully satisfied with that sown in the mo th
of March. On grass land we think three
foorths of a bushel per acre, sown in March,
of more value than donbie the amount in May
or June.
Our custom is, if possible, to sow it on a
light snow, the melting of which seem 3 to have
a beneficial effect iu dissolving gypsum. Where
we had five acres, four years ago, and left a
corner to note the efftct, it has been visible for
miles each summer since ; the piece left furn
ishing ceifcainly a third less feed audofu much
paler color. Last year the plaster sown iu
March " worked wonders," while that of May
and June seemed to be lost entirely. Try it.
—II. in O'sego Rep.
t&- "Sow is the time to take up the Cata
wissa Raspberry, part them and plant the
pieces in a box under glass. A little bottom
heat applied will be serviceable. Care must
be taken to keep the soil moderately moist
When the sun becomes hot, as is very freqaeut
ly the case iu this and the next month, venti
late at mid day. When the shoots make their
appearance and until they are three inches
high, they require particular care in watering
so as not to seald them by too much water
and the hot sun, without proper airing to coun
teract it. The same remark may be made in
regard to grapes. We cut the raspberry roots
into pieces leaving but oue eye to a piece, and
plant one inch deep, the same as a grain of
corn.— Gcrnuntencn Tel.
To MAKE CIDER WlSE.— Take pure cider,
made from sound ripe apples, as it runs from
the press—put sixty lbs. of common brown
sugar into 15 gallons of the cider, aud let it
dissolve; then put the mixture into a clean
barrel, fill it up withiu two gallons of being
full, with clean cider—put the cask intoacool
place, leave the bug out for forty eight hours;
theu put in the bung with a small vent, until
fermentation wholly ceases, and buDg up tight
and iu oue year it will be fit for use. This
wine requires no racking ; the longer it stands
npon the lees the better. This wine is almost
equal to grape wine, when rightly managed.

CAUTXOIf
"To be, or not to be— hat is the question !
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous opposition,
Or by taking up arms against a sea of printing ink,
And opposing, end theai."
riiHK proprietor of the Argus takes occasion in advcr-
X tising his Bindery to indulge in an uncalled for fling
about a " sort of a concern," which is hoping " to delude
the public." As I have opened a Bindery on my own ac
count, the inference is that if the public bring their
binding to me, they are in no danger of being defrauded.
For two years I have worked for Mr. I'ARSONS, and he
has taken great pains t • satisfy the public i was the " best
Binder in America," as the columns of the Argus wil
testify. Has he been all that time " deluding the pnb
lie ?" If I have been engaged in a fraud, he has been th
principal. But I refer to my work during that time a
evidence that there has been no fraud practiced.
Having served u long apprenticeship at the Bindery
business, I have resumed business here on my own ac
count, as I know of nothing which prevents me from fol
lowing a legitimate and bawful calling for my support.—
I shall endeavor by good work and attention to my busi
ness to give public satisfaction.
