will hc tlio tluly ot Uongrcss, in my huniblo
opinion, lo srant thcir rconot, by nroviointr
that nfler tomc spccific poriod,all pcrsonsborn

only practicablc inode, thal now prcscnts it

thc samc liino avotd a rcvolution of govcrn

in rclation lo this subjcct, id frccly ndmitlcd,
but I cannot admit that tho rcmcdy for Ihis cvil

only at tho polls to rcprcscnl us in the nalion

MAPLE SUGAR.
Evcry sugar boiler knows how to inake ma
plo sugar, but every on? docs not know how
lo mako good maple sugnr. Tho matcrial of
forcign sttgur iB the satne j tho difTcrcnco in
qualiiy anu pricc, rcsitlts in Iho proccsscs by
which it is manufucturcd and rcfincd. Tho
art ol makjng good tugar consists in I'rccing
it from all impunties which may affcct its fla-
vor or oppcaraiicc. With tho samo cnrc, Iho
juico cl the maplo will make as good sugar,
and as white, as the juico of tho cane. Every
fnmily who makcs maplo sugar, may add ono
third lo its market value, by the simnlo pro
ccss we aro about to delail, and which it will
cost Ihcm but a ttiflo to adopt. It is the pro
ccss by which Havana sugara aro brought lo
Ihe purity and whitcncss which wu see thcm
in our markct. Wo take it from Chnptal,
who manufactured sugar cxtenstvely from thc
bcct, and who hcro dcscribes tho proccss hc
succcssfully pursucd.
Wo will first givo tho proccsscs of purifying
thc juice and tho syrup. The jttiec (of the
bcct) is first heatcd lo a lenipcralure of ono
hundred and cighty dcgrcos, thirly.twu de
grccs bclow tho boiling point, whcn some
milk of lime, preparcd by Ihrowing soino
warm water on to lime, is tlirown in, and the
hquor wcll atirrid. As soon as the firet bub
blo makcs its appearancc, tho firo is cxlin
guislicd, and the liqtior lilt at rcst. A scuni
nscs, thickcns, drics and hardcns. Tho liquor
bccomcs clcar. The lime unitcs with Iho mu
cilngc and settlcs 10 thc bcttom. The scum
is rcmovcd, aud ihe clcar liquor drawn off.
Tho proccss rcquircs an liour. ond sometimes
iiitich more. Tho syrup is aftcrwards rjfincd
by auimal charcoal and Ihc whitcs of eggs, &:
filtcrcd Ihrough a cnarsc, thick, roughcloih.
Moulds oflin or othcr malerial aro preparcd,
of any size, of a conical shape, liko iha form
of a sugar loaf, with a sloppcr in tho einall or
Inwcr cnd. Whcn eufficicntly rcduccd, tho
syiup is turncd inlo thcm ; as soon as granu
lation has begun on llio surfaco and sidcs, thc
crust is broken uilh a spatula, nnd the uholo
stirrcdwcll; aftor which it is left alone. Af
lur this, tho procciB of whilening or claying is
lhu3 managed : the clay is first thorouglily
waehcd, till it acquircs such n dosrcc of con
fisicncy as nol to flow whcn placcd 011 0
finoulh nnd slightly inclincd hoard. It 13 iht'n
thrown on to tho sugar in the moulds. The
mnifluro pcnctratos llio loaves, dcprivcs tlic
suarofits color, and paBsca out ot tho point
nl thu inould, which should naw bc unstoppcd.
Tho clay, dcprivcd of ils watcr, shrinks and
dries, and is rrniov.cd. A spcond, and somc
linics a third applicalion ol clay ie tnadc, bc
foro thu sugar nttains its desited wliitciicss,

Thcro is a grcat and rqual forco and truth
