Text Appearing Before Image:
whichproduced a barrel of sap in twenty-four hours; and another which flowed 175 gallonsduring the season.f Another writer tells of a maple which was tapped with tenspouts, from which fifty pounds of sugar were made; but it killed the tree.;;Dr. Hough, of Lowville, N. Y., kept a record on his own premises from 1877 to 1884,which showed that the trees averaged nineteen gallons each season. This included onepoor season, 1883, in which the trees produced only one-fourth their usual amount. Maples standing on high ground, or uneven, rocky land, or on the hill sides, aregenerally the best producers. Trees growing near cold springs yield sap in largequantities, which is also rich in sugar of the best quality. Second-growth maple landand young groves are also in good repute among the sugar makers. * The birch contains more sap than the maple. t Michaux. North American Sylva. Vol. I, p. 106. t Emerson. Trees and Shrubs of Massachusetts. Vol. II, p. 563. ;; Garden and Forest. Vol. VI, p. 174.
Text Appearing After Image:
I « u< c P 5 FISHERIES, GAME AND FORESTS. 313 There is a well established tradition among the farmers that maple sap should notbe drank—that it is very weaknin. But the men in the sugar camps often drink it,claiming that it is a refreshing beverage. Perhaps the sugar makers originated thestory to intimidate the boys who frequent every sugar bush, and evince a troublesomeinclination to drink from the sap buckets. The sap from the different trees varies notonly in quantity but quality, the product of some trees containing a much greaterpercentage of sugar than others. Two trees may produce the same amount of sugar,but the product may differ in color or taste. As a general rule it requires four gallons
