to remove the old timber and ex -

young seedlings to spring up every-

may be eneouraged by lopping the
tops off the poorer ones. If catele

buying an evaporator it is not wise
to get a small one while them is a.
possibility of ever wanting to in-
crease the plant. An area of ten
square feet of boiling surface for
every ono hundred trees tapped, is
a pretty fair rule to follow in de-
termining what size of evaporator
to buy.

When the Sap Begias to Run.
We always try M have the wood
cut and piled in the sugar house be-
fore the snow comes. in the fall, and
make euro that we have enough
spouts, buckets, Ma, on hand be-
fore the run begin.e. •We use only
tin buckets for catching the flow, as
the galvanised iron while it will
not Mete is likely to discolor the
sap, and wooden buokets, 'if it were
possible to get them nowadays are
hard to keep 'clean, and the sap of-
ten sours in them. We. find it pays
to paint the tin pails outside to pre-
venb rusting. The epiles are of gal-
vanized steel, round and tapering,
so ae M ;hold a bucketful of sap
when driven firmly into the tree.
I3eing round they keep the air from
the hole anclguard against driving'
up, retaining sap to. sour during a
warm spell, or to freeze when the
weather is eold. This year we are
going to use covered pails filmest
entirely, as we lost sa much sap
during the 'storms host spring. I
reckon on getting A. pound of all -
gar from a pail of sap, and out of
one hundred and ninety pailfuls
gathered after a rain tbe yield stf
sugar was only eighty pounds in-
stead of one hundred and ninety, as
it 'should inate been bed the rain
water been kept out by covers.
As 881) deteriorates so rapidly af-
ter ib comes from the tree, I find it
advisable to commence gathering as
soon as there is a quart or two in
the buckebe. Pails with -broad bot-
toms are most convenient for this,
and the gathering tank should be
of hea,vy tin or galvanized iron,
with an outlet near the bottom
fitted with eotton hose for emptying
into the .storage tank, and cireular
in nom as the sap clashing about
when tl'le sleigh is hauled oyer
rough ground, would soon rack a
rectangular tank. The hose ean be
hooked to the top of the tank while
gathering. We fasten a double
cloth and a wire strainer over the
top of the tank, and that is all the
streining the sap gets. We strait
the syrup once through three or
four thickneeses of flannel.
Sugar -makers agree that the
more rapid. the evaporation, the
clearer, lighter and more delleateiy
flavored will be the syrap. In the
days of the old potesh kettle the
liquid was eo deep in the vessel that
the boiling was a tedious procese.
'Someone was generally expeeted. to
sit guard all night with a pime of
pork fastened -to a stick to prevent
too muoh loss by "boiling over."
The corrugated bottom, of the mod-
ern eva,porator exposing the sap to
such an ,a.rea of hat •eurface a•ncl the
sap never being allowed 'to cover
the bottom to a depth of ogee hall
an inch above these corrugations,
makes the evaparation very rapid.
ae .everyone knows', helps
to cleanse the product by bringing
up dirt and impurities in a, scum,
which should be carefoilly removed.
I used to carry this clarifying pro-
cess further by adding egg white or
milk to the boiliug syrup, but have
found that if care is taken to keep
the mg clean it is unnecessary to
use a "settler," and it is possible
that 'syrup may not keep quite. as
well 'where eggs or milk leave been
added. However, this ie. not a very
important censideration.
Some of us remember, and most
of us are familiar with the story in
our old school reatierfs of the way
they made maple syrup fifty -years
ago. A picturesque affair it was
with tem big iron kettle hung over
the open fire and the hot sap emp-
tied from one uncovered vessel to
another SA it reached a, certain
etage in the "boiling down" pro-
ems. The leaves, sticks. and ashes
that happened to deep in mean-
while, were considered just nettle-
, pa,re etf the peomedings, and the
twee wed wheat were left together
until the time of clarifying. Nor
liGttE, it a matter of any concern that
the promss was a slow -one. Fuel
" was ebeip and tho oldetime segar-
maker did not recognize the facb
that sap, like milk, is a very perish-
able product, an excellent ineclium
for the de,velopment of feromentive
eeganisms, 43,nd that not only is
olea,nlinese Importente but the mote
direct and speedy the transforms, -
bion of the new step te the finished
product, the better. Th.e, modern
sugarmaker keeps this in view in
every detail in equipping hie plenb.

Lands were sold from time to time
at market value and their preeeeds
applied in reduAion of these bonds.
Up to the 31st day of December,
1913, there were issued $24,000,000
of land grant bonds. The lend

Messrs, Maekenzie, Mann & Ca. despite the lack of knowledge that

laeen previously expressed private-

only putting into print ideas which
have been repeated in Canada, for
some years. I propose to attempt
an. explanation of these matters,
giving the official figures of the ease
frankly.
There are few false statements
made without some basis of truth,
and few misrepresentations whith
have not had a more or less suppos-
edly legitimate origin. The figures
that have been quoted in the public
press ae to the bonds guaranteed
and ,subsidiee ,grantecl to the Cana-
dian Northern are, as a rule, taken
from. the °finial Blue Boob of the
Dominion ef Canada. One would
naturally expect to find in these
figures an exact account of the situ, -
anon ; but, curiously enough, a mo-
ment's reflection will show that
they may fail to portray correctly
the relations between the Canadian
Northern, or any other railway,
and public assistance. There have
been placed on the statute books of
Canada millions of dollars of cash
subsidies which have never been
earned, many of •the subsidized
companies having passed eut of ex-
istence, and inillions of dollftes of
bond guarantees which have never
Progressed farther than the original
authorizing legislation. The Cana-
dian Northern is not an exception
to this general etateme,nt, Guarani
tees have been granted by Provin-
cial Governments for lines which
have never been eenuneneecl, and
which probably will not be built for
years. These guarantees, with un-
earned melt subsidies to -certain
branch lines within the isystem, are

ly referring to the Blue Beek es
