Kippen, March 26,—Parmers in this vicinity are wisely trying to overcome the handicap of excessive prices for 'sugar by making all the maple syrup pos sible. They also recognize the possibil. ity of sharing in the good prices going for sugar products, Almost every man has tapped Itis maple trees ranging in number Front 30 trees to 500, There is it wide contrast in the way the init6le syrup business is conducted now and 40 years ago. Then two or three' largo sugar kettles were slung on a .pole between two trees with 'two huge back logs rolled ' up against the kettle, iiiside of which the fire was kept blazing. It was a slow process and many cinders, leaves and twigs fell into the boiling sap, but the product was,delic- oils, with what wao.considered the char- acteristic maple taste,' Now large evap orating pans.with several compartments in them and it large furnace beneath are In use, into one end of which the sap runs continottsly. Out of the iompart- meld at the other end the finished syrup is drawn off at intervals. The capacity of the largest of these here is from 2 to 2% gallons of syrup per hour. This evaporator in the best runs is often kept running 20 hours out of the 24, syrup being made most rapidly. at night, because the fires burn best then. The greatest care is exercis- ed to have everything clean. The sap buckets ou the trees are covered with special lids, kap is gathered in a large tank an a sleigh drawn by a team, The sap is strained es it is poured into the tank. It is strained again before is passes into the evaporator and the syrup Is strained through several thickness of cheesecloth and flannel. The syrup is then ready for canning and shipment. The price for good syrup is $4 a gal- lon here. Mr. Alex Monteith has orders for 105 gallons at that price. His only fwtr is that on account of the hot weath er spring may open quickly and the rum be very short. Messrs, A. Monteith W. W. Cooper Robert Cooped, Norman Jones and Thos. Workman have each about 400 trees tapped, while Mr. Jas. Mustard has 500. The last named has to run 20 hours a day to keep up with the flow of sap. Mrs. 'r. R. Thompson and Miss Mar- garet, of Chatham, are spending the Easter holidays here, Miss B. McQuade left for Stratford where she intends to reside in future.
