Maple-Sugar Supplies. 



The time is at hand when those who produce the 

 delicious sweets from the sugar maple must be get- 

 ting ready. For the best results you must have 

 good clean app;iratus of the nu)st apiiroved type, 

 and you really can not afford not to read Pn»f. 

 Cook's book. ".Maple Sugar and the Sugar-bush," 

 which we furnish at 35c, or wc^ will give a copy free 

 to all those who buy sugar-makers' supplies of us to 

 the amount of $1(1. Ui) or more. We do not sell evap- 

 orators, but we tliink we can do you some good on 

 spouts, pails, covers, and cans. We have ri'ceived a 

 carloiid of these from the factory, and they are 

 made of American tin-plate. The plates are tinned 

 and made tap into cans by the same Arm; and by 

 taking a cat-load we get tliem at bottom ])rices. See 

 table below. Tin' pails and cans are machine-made, 

 far superior to hand-made, and guaranteed not to 

 leak.

BUCKET WITH HINGED TIN COVER. 



This cut shows the manner of hanging the bucket 

 on the spout, and also the manner of emptying with 

 the hitiged tin cover. Most progressive sugar- 

 makers nowadays use covers of some kind. 



RKCORD SAP SPOUT. 



Tliis spout is cheaper than any other made, and 

 we believe It is ;is good as any. if not better. It is 

 used almost exclusively in tliis section.
