erseas, and Canadian farmers should
increase tiie production of maple
sugar and syrup, this !spring by tap-
ping every staple tree that is large
enough, The sap runs at a time
when farm work is at a minimum
and no increase in the labour supply-
is therefore needed., •
A mature, thrifty maple will yield
about 12 gallons of sap, composed of.
about 95 percent water and 3 percent,
sugar, with a residuum of mineral
matter. Large -crowned `"trees, or
trees grown in the open bush, with
long trunk);; modem the most sap.
The ideal weather conditions for sap
flow are moderately warm days and
freezing nights,
-To tap a tree, bore a halt -inch -ttp-
ward-slol)ing hole one inch deep, on
the sunny side of 111e tree. There
are many varieties of sap spouts
available. The best sap' palls are
made of tin or galvanized ireu, with
covers. The sap is gathered at least
daily, and boiled down in the boil-
ing house, or '!n the farm kitchen.
The process is simply ere of evapor-
ating the water content until ` the
sap becomes of the consistency of
syrup, or of a weight of 11 pounds
to the gallon. The syrup should be
strained through flannel, which leav-
es the product perfectly clear,
In making sugar, the syrup should
be re -boiled until it begins to cry-
stallize, or 'sugar -off'. This point
may be determined by pouring a lit-
tle into ice -water or en the snow,
11 the syrup becomes waxy, it has
been boiled sufficiently. It is best
to reduce the syrup to sugar in
small quantities. Before pouring it
111t0 moulds, stir slowly to reduce
the temperature and thus avoid gran-
ulation.
Where production is undertaken on
a larger scale, much more elaborate
equipment is necessary.

boys, at the stroke of half -past
five,
When hell tore loose ou \rimy ridge,
and the Canadians made-- their
drive, '
For there we were, wearily Waiting—
our thoughts wore far away,
Where we were on many an Easter
Monday, and .where we were to-
- bay,,
But all. et once our guns tore loose;
'Imes deafening to Bear
The roar of our artillery on Vimy
ridge to clear,
A shout, a rust), a cheer, and over
the top our gallant boys did gd ;
O'er shell holes, mines and craters,
and through the blinding snow,
Till we got to Fritz's front line and
there we encountered the foe.
We gave them a jab with the bayon-
et",
ayonet^, a hasty shot that was time ;
And then we had Huns lying around
us, and hundred's of prisoners, too.
1h, sirs, it was grand but it was
fearful -the sight of the wounded
there
As they lay on the cold bloody
ground, and wrestled with death
and despair !
We could only stay for a moment,
we had not much time to spare,
For our barrage.,was slowly creeping
to itis second, line at our fore ;
So• on we sped, 'while o'er our head
the shrapnel burst galore,
And little we thought of the danger,
as through it we did go,
And into his second line we did leap,
and soon softie Fritzes were pil-
ed in a heap.
Some threw clown their rifles, -and
put up their hands,
C'r3ting "Mercy, ! Katuarad ! Morey 1
Kanarad !"
A few of .our comrades had fallen you
know,
But that diel not stop us, it was for-
ward to go
On to his last line, which was Ind in
the snow.
But his sausages, whizbangs, ninnies
and bombs
Could -not stop us one moment with
all their death throngs ;
And when we got there, the line 11
was bare, for shelter he had
sought down below.
But when some of the boys made a
terrible noise with bombs brought
up from the rear
And into the dugouts - they threw
quite a few, ,which gave them a
hell of a scare.
Up from below the Runs they did
come,
And into our bayonets and bombs
they did run,
011 Lord ! but the blood it did, cover
the ground,
And some more of the licenses were
lying around
The prisoners were still going in by
the score,
Till our barbwire cages held twelve
thousand or more,
And there we remained, no farther to

"The Food Controller
Says"
Every pound added to the nourish-
ing things to eat, animal or veget-
able, will count in this )momentous
year of 1018. No one should shirk
taking up work on a small plot
through too modest alt idea of its
value. Food Control has to begin
on'th0'small scale. It will be chief-
ly effective through its thoroughness
in the small but innumerable house-
holds in the land.. So, if more foods
can be grown on the home plot, no
matter how small, there' will be a
saving in exportable food anal to that
extent an increased amount of food
will be released :for shipment. to the
Allies. Every new bushel of veget-
allies next spring and summer will
release its equivalent in wheat. It
is the drops of water in the, ocean
that go to mance up -.the mighty tide
of the Bay of Fundy. 'rhe essence of
.more production does not mete 5!m -
ply more acres put to wheat, but
more eatable things for eacii man's
labor, A small area well looked af-
ter is often more Profitable in an
unfavorable season than a large area.
An English farm is often measured
downwards, i.e. by the depth of its
productive s011, rattler than valued
'for its sheer acreage.
Of the 'need for all exportable Can-
adian food products no one should
longer be its doubt. The first of a
series of fortnightly cablegrams from
France to the Food Controller states
with a plainness,that would be piti-
ful if it were notso noble, how bade
