MAPLE SUGAR AND THE SUGAR-BUSH. 



If any of our friends are planning to make maple 

 sugar or syrup next spring I think it will pay them to 

 have our little book, which now contains an appendix 

 giving an account of my experience in ray little sugar- 

 bush in Michigan last spring With the modern im- 

 plements that are cm the market, it is really a pleasure 

 to work a little sugar-bu^h In fact, I do not know of 

 any rural occupation that I enjoy more. It is one of 

 the first pieces of outdoor work you can get at in the 

 spring ; and if you have a good roof over your boiling- 

 camp, with plenty of dry wood, the disagreeable 

 weather which is likely to occur during sugar-making 

 time is not very much to be dreaded. I am glad to 

 notice one of he latest and best sap spiles made is ad- 

 veiti-ed in this issue. If you are going to enjoy sugar- 

 makina you ought to be up to the times, and have the 

 very best tools. The price of the maple-sugar book is 

 only 25 cents; 5 cents extra if s nt by mail. — A. I. R.
