Quebec Leads the Dominion Production, When the chap who spent the past few days visiting his old home up country brought his newspaper par- cel down to the office, did you get your chunk of forest confectionery? "Sap's runnln', sap's runnln' " â€" ha.'^ been the welcome call tbroughoui the province. Ontario produces ". trifle over 5,000,000 pounds against nearly 14,500,000 pounds to the credit of Quebec. The lower prov- inces lag behind with another half- million pounds, and exhausts thii tale of this Industry for the Domin- ion. There are about 55,000 Cana- dian maple sugar producers, and their picturesque if sfenuous labor J represent an annual valuation of al- most two million dollars, says a writer In a recent issue of the To- ronto Star Weeltly. The best maple "milker" Is the wide-rooted, tall, leafy-crowned tree â€" bulged out like an umbrella â€" such as the naturally growing forest maple. That accounts for Quebec's record, her bush lots have not all been cut into for cordwood. The season generally begins around the middle of March, scarcely ever last- ins halfway through April. Fuel for boiling the sap is a big item, the average requirements being 10 cords of mixed hard and soft wood for 1,000 trees. Once the great pine forests of all Old Ontario was plentifully diversi- fied with maple bush. Generations of original settlers and farmers have' thinned both out woefully. Happy the Ontario farmer who to-day can boast his bush lot of even 300 or 400 sugar maples. It's the same as money. Places in Ontario around which there still remain important sugar-making activities are Troy, Gowanstown, Cargill, Moira, LAfoU" taine, Waterloo, Rednersvllle, Wrox- eter, Cookston, Bloomfield, Martin- town, etc., but there's scarcely any county where some tapping has not ^en going on this spring. In the small bushes they are still employ- ing "old grand-dad's way" of years back. Warm days and cold nlghtc are best for a good run. Into the half-inch auger-hole, about three feet from the ground, goes the "spile" on which the pail is hung to catch the sweety flow. This metal spile was a hollowed out sumach branch in old times, and deprives the modern farmer of much whit- tling and pith-poking for winter evenings. The greatest improve- ments are noted at the bush "kit- chen." The "evaporator" replaces the old-faahioned boiling pot that turned the sap to sugar, and the latest improved evaporators are quite elaborate and thorough in their get-up. Sometimes two ol these flat, broad, sheet-iron affairs are used, the sap entering the first or "warmer," and passing after fil- tration to the second -or "evapora- tor," steadily flowing in a shallow, down-grade stream past alternating copper partitions, from side to side; ' when the sap reaches the far end the heat of the fire below will have turn- ed it into a thin syrup. This is re- moved and filtered and set in shapes to "grain" or solidify into sugar; while the drippings therefrom are collected below and bottled or can- ned and labelled "maple syrup â€" warranted purel" The man with a small busli does not need to make a "businees" of it- generally the small fry attend to the whole thing from tapping to sugaring down, with his female folks putting on the final touches that help at the nearest market. The fire-tender needs patience. Some- times he works under a rude roof of boards, oftener not, he's generally content with a sheltered, "warm," hollow in the bush. Klliot Lost the lUoe. Brother offloers of Col. Elliot, of the Second Canadian Contingent, tell the following story: Major J. H. RImsley, now second in coinmnnd of the Itoyal Canadian Dragoons at the front, when general staf' oOirer in this division wa.<i known to be a man who never lost his temper. When (;ol. Elliot joine I the' staff, he quick- ly gained the sam^ reputation for evenness of disposition. The other ofllcers began to wonder which would lose his temper first, and the affair developed into a game in which every man on the head- quarters staff took I' lively interest. When the staff went to Niagara camp two years ago, the work be- came strenuous enough to try the nerves of any man, yet KImsley and Klliot were still tied in the race for the laurel for coolness in times of stress. The game continued and each day when t.ie ottlcer.s sat down together at dinner, MaJ.-Gcn. Lessard would ask: "How's the race'.' Has either lost his tenipe.- yet." The an- swer continued in the negative for weeks. One day, however, something happened. Col. Elliot was foicei to say "damnation" and the rtce was declared over, much to the imuso- ment of tho other officers. A llrilliant Chonilht. A. T. Churron, who has recently been appointed chleCehemist for the Department of Agrioulture of the Province of Quebec and who will henceforth reside at St. Hyaclnthe, Que., was one of the leading chemists of the Government at Ottawa and a brilliant graduate of Ottawa Univer- sity. For some time past he has been secretary-treasurer of the syn- dicate publishinc Le Droit.
