factuiing. Sap-tubs should never be apiuopiiated 

 to other uses; but at the close of the sugar season, 

 after being well cleansed, should be kept in a 

 clean place, uutil another season. In this way, 

 maple sugar of the finest quality, may be made, 

 superior to any which is nianufaitiucd froui cane. 



Maple molasses may also be manufai uied of 

 a quality much better than wc obtain from the 

 south, and it cau be afforded with a handsome 

 protit to the manufacturer, at a less price. Any 

 quantity that can be made in this state, if well 

 cleansed and rendered pure, will find a ready mar- 

 ket in almost any of our villages, at fifty cents a 

 gallon, whicli it is thought, will give to the nuniu- 

 facturer more net profit than is generally realized 

 upon sugar. 



We do hope that those who have it in their 

 power, will in future e.\'ert themselves to increase 

 and improve the manufacture of both sugar and 

 molasses. We know by experience that sugaring 

 is extremely laborious, but it is most certainly a 

 sweet employment, and in a good season it is also 

 very profitable. — JVal. Standard.
