shc Jcpartmcnl. Manufacture of Maple Sugar. The first great requisite is to have all the vessels perfectly clean. Strict c'eanliness s' oildbeobst rvelihrc u,;h out the whole process. Tin vessels are better than'wood for this rea son. If properly washed, they can never impart sourness to the sap. Made large enough to hold ninO Juarts each, they would cost about 35 per 100, and six-quart-pails cost §3O per 100. They may be made square or round, but the latter are betterto clean and to keep their shape. They should be largest at top, so as to pack away in nests when not in use. The top should be strongly wired, like a tin pan, -and a hole made under the wire enables it to hang on a nail driven into the tree,securing it thus from swine and other animals, and preventing the sap from being blown away by the wind. Old horse shoe nails, straightened and sharpen ed, are the best. The best spouts are made of thick tinned iron. When the vessels are hung as above described on nails, the spouts need not be more than three inches long. They should be widest where they enter the tree. After the sheet tin is cut up to the proper size, the concave snap(* is given to them by placing them be tween a convex and a concave piece of wood and giving them a brisk blow wit. Ik a mullet. Ground sharp at the wide end, they are easily driven into a tree. Never allow the sap to stand in the pails twenty-four hours—the fresher it is when boiled, the purer will be the sugar. While boiling, large quantities should not be poured in at a time, as that will stop it, and make irregular work; but a reservoir should be jdaced above the boiler, 1 from which the sap may be drawn in j a stream through a faucet, just fast enough to supply the evaporation. A little practice will enable the op-1 erator to judge how large this stream j should be. Two boilers are better j than one if the (ire is made to pass j from under one to the other—the j first or hottest being chiefly for boil-! ing down to syrup, and the second or | coldest for heating the sap and doing j the first evaporation. The faucet on fresh sap runs into the first, and a ' pipe of syphon, with faucet, conveys j it to the second. Cook's patent j sugar evaporator is verry valuable for \ boiling the juice of sorghum, as it re-1 duces the juice to molasses in less than half an hour by a continued j process, and would be very useful j for maple sugar, but less indispensa ble. it is on a principle similar to that of the two boilers above descri bed, but more complete and perfect; the sap enters one end and flows from one side to the other many times by means of intercepting par titions, till it reaches the other end, by which time it is reduced to syrup, j the proper current being given by j raising or depressing the end, as the j case may require. Kettles are poor boilers—they waste fuel and make poor sugar. Shallow sheet-iron pans are much better. They maybe kept cleaner, they evap orate more rapidly, make finer sugar, and effect a great saving of heat. In all cases, the boilers should be so set that a thin sheet of flame may pass under them. For example:—a sheet of flame two inches thick, under a boiler, is as good as if a foot thick —the same amount may therefore be spread over six times the surface, and consequently be about six times more economical. We have some good home-made pans, used for boiling sorghum suc cessfully, made by nailing good thick sheet-iron to plank, so that the sheet iron formed the bottom and ends, and the plank-the sides—the sheet iron was secured to the plank by two rows of closely driven nails. The pans were about 8 feet long, and four wide, and 6 inches deep. These would be cheap, and very good for j making maple sugar. The fire place ] should of course bea little narrower than these pans. The chimneys, should be high enough to cause a good draught. To make good sirup, the sap must j be reduced to one twentieth or one thirtieth of its bulk, or be boiled twice j as much as sorghum juice. The sirup is then to be strained through flannel, I and placed aside to cool and settle 12 to 24 hours. Then return it to the van, and to every gallon add and stir •a beaten egg and a gill of milk to clari fy it, keeping it carefully from boil ing till the scum has risen and has been skimmed off. Then boil it care fully until it will harden, which may be known by dropping some from a ! spoon into cold water. When this j takes place, the liquid sugar maybe' then poured into proper vessels, and ■ then the cakes placed in a box to j drain. To make the sugar perfectly ! white, lay a few thicknesses of flannel on the tops of the cakes while it is draining ; these flannels to be wet and I washed daily with cold water—thev \ will thus absorb and washout the col oring matter. A hundred good sugar maple trees will usually make in a season, from 2 to 3 hundred pounds of sugar, if well managed; and if every precaution is observed to ensure cleanliness, pre vent souring, boil speedily and with out burning, and to clarify properly, a larger quantity of sugar will be made; it will be more saleable, and ! command a higher price; or if in- : tended for home use. the smiles of the farmer's kind wife, when she sees such j " a beautiful article make its appear ance, will more than repay him for al l 1 the pains to secure such excellent sye -1 cess. I find that the addition of a tca * spoonful of salt to each 100 pounds of sugfcr improves the taste ol the ' sugaf. It gives jt a fuller taste.- — Salt is also good when used in sirup. Trees that have large bushy tops will yield the best sap when nails are • driven in the trees to hold the buck et. They should be drawn and saved for another, and save the chopper and sawyer many a hard word when they are cut for lumber.— Country Gent. PORTRESS MONROE, Feb.

Their accounts corroborate. The officers generally consider themselves whipped, I but thought that the North's finances were giving out. At times when the rebel officers are going the rounds, reliev ing guard, tlicy find that whole lines of their pickets have deserted. The country is full of such, who are awaiting opportu nities to give themselves up. On Friday last, Longstrect's licadquar- : ters were at Morristown. Ilis main forces are at Strawberry Plains, under marching orders. They say that the reason why Longstreet did uot attact our force, was want of confidence in his men.

QUESTION : Has the teacher the 1 right to take the writing liooks from the j scholars when they have done writing and j keep them in his desk until they are need- | ed the next day? ANSWER : This, at first view, appears ; to be a foolish question to place in the.of- j ficial department of the Journal; and yet, j there is a principle involved that it will He well for both pupils and teachers to have settled. It is the duty of the teachers to i see that the books of the pupils be well a taken care of. Scholars should not be al lowed, by the teacher, to abuse and injure their books, although parents do purchase them instead of the teacher. There is a very general complaint, and we think just ly too, that teachers do not appear to care whether books are well taken care of or abused ; hence parents many times object to getting new ones, when, perila"ps, they ! arc «ctually needed. The books that arc I to be used frequently through the day, j either for'study or for reference, must, for I the sake of convenience, be kept l>y the , pupils in or upon their own desks; but this is not the case with writing books. They arc needed only while writing once or twice during the whole day, and at oth | er times should not be used by them in any ! w. y. There can no inconvenience result to the pupils if their writing books are kept from them, only at writing times. Very many scholars will take*occasion to blot and scribble their books if they are left j j with them anl-some will tear them, or they j will be torn by others. Therefore the j | writing books wi.l be better eared for and j j kept in a better condition, as a general 1 j thing, if the pupils are not allowed to have | | them, only when they arc to be used. I Again, unless the teacher give special i I care to the subject, some of the pupils will ' ! get their books and try to write, while he j j is of necessity engaged in other matters. ! ! Writing as ncll aseverytliing else should be taught by the track /-and under liisspe- j eial attention, and no pupil should be per- j mittcd to write at a time when the teach- j er cannot give attention to him. Hence the books should be where there can be no I temptation for pupils to scribble upon j | them, abuse them, or write in them. As i I Ihe teacher is to see that these books arc I properly taken care of and the pupils im- I prove in writing, be is the proper person j to take care of the writing hooks when not .in u-e. It is therefore his right and bis | duty to take charge of them, only at such times as the scholars arc not actually en ! gaged in writingr. I 29. QUESTION : Is not a person to pay j the minimum tax of one dollar in the dis- j , trict where he resides ? ANSWER: He is. The 79th section of the school law (passed April 11. 1502,) ; declares expressly, "that upon every rcsi- I I dent male taxable of tho age of twenty | one years the proper board of directors j | shall assess the minimum occupation tax I I not allowed by law." etc. This tax, there- j I lore, is to be paid into the school treasury j | of the district in whichthe individualhas j | his residence.. He is not liable however j j to pay thistax in any othcrdistrict in which ' he may have property. \ 30. QUESTION: Is it the.duty of the county Superintendents to grant private examinations wherever asked by teachers to do so? ANSWER: This matter of private ex- j animations is more troublesome to Super j intendents than almost any other. It ap-l pears to be necessary, in some cases, to ex-i amine candidates at other times, than the j public examination ; it would, therefore, j I be difficult to forbid special inspection in | all cases. It would perhaps at times de- j prive schools of teachers. But if these private or special examinations arc allowed indiscriminately, many teachers will take 1 advantage of it and never attend the pub lic inspection. It is evidently in accord ance with the spirit of the law to require all the teachers to be examined publicly in the districts in which they are to teach. This is plain from the 153 d sec. found on ; page 83; and yet. circumstances do arise iu which a special examination is necessa ry, but they should never be granted only when ta the Superintendent itshall appear they are necessary. If he examines ov e-y candidate that presents himself, his : time will all be taken in that way, and the : objects of the law defeated. Persons ask ing for a special inspection must, before tbey can be examined, present to the Su- : perinteudent a request signed 1 y a majori ty of the board, stating that they desire to employ the bearer, if found to be qualifi ed. in one of the schools of their district, also giving the why he, or she was not at the public examination. This re quest should be kept on file by the Super intendent. Certificates granted in such ca ses should be given only until the time of I the next public examination in the dis- ; ' trict. And it will be well for the Super- ' iutendent to note on the back of each, the fact that it was given at a private examin ation,—stating uA* ' at the request of what ( board of directors and for what reason it t 1 was given. This will afford him a justi fication of his course, and place the mat- ; ' tcr where it will be seen by all who exam ine the certificate. If known that the ap- 1 plicant was absent from the public exam ination without asufficientexcuse, or staid j away to avoid a public inspeetion, he should not under such circumstances grant a cer- j tificat e.—l'a.
