Experiment II 
.A very interesting experiment, the finest loL of trees was un- 
doubtedly No. 3 morning, whose best tapping was 13 ounces and the 
1 8th tapping 10 ounces. Single incisions comes -out very poor and is 
in each group the lowest result. 
After 14 tappings it was necessary to stop or the trees would have 
been scored too severely. It may be thought 10 cups on each tree 
were too many, I do not think so, see Experiment III, Number IV. 
1 he advantage of tapping 011 alternate days is shewn in the dif- 
ference between Nos. 1 and 2, both in morning and evening tap 
pings. It will be noted that No. 2 morning was tapped iS times 
against 16 times of No. 1.
