The film is in French with a English sub titles. The present chilliness of the atmosphere May serve ultimately to revitalize Putnam county a Maple syrup production which began to Sag the latter part of last week because of the unseasonable warmth and the Rains. Maple syrup men say the Ideal went her for their work is that which brings frosty nights with a few degrees of freezing with thawing during the Day. The sap in the sugar Trees fairly races upward from the a it its. Under such conditions and the production during such a period As that is at its greatest height. The rainfall interfere principally because it gets into the buckets placed under the Spiles to catch the sap As it trickles from the openings in the tree trunks and it so dilutes the fluid that the work of boiling it Down to syrup like consistency is greatly increased. Also the Rainwater in the sap. Even though it May in boiled out. Leaves its unpleasant flavor in the syrup lowering its value to tile consumer. The careful syrup maker Wim throw out All of this Rainwater preferring to lose tin sap mixed with it than to have his product cheapened. Here in Putnam As Well As elsewhere the syrup miking business has decreased so much in volume that it does not rank As a major Industry. Now there was a time when practically every Rural resident participated in the work in some Copi a to and their product Hail an important place on the Market. Now a sugar Orchard of 400 Trees is unusual. And Many landowners who have sugar Trees on their places do not make syrup. Maple syrup men Are inclined to boast somewhat about the hard Ial it or attending their work. They will not admit that anyone else who talks to them about hard tasks he has had. In other lines of labor has Ever had to work As hard As the syrup makers. A you done to know say syrup makers. They Tell of the 24-hour, sometimes 48 or More constant attendance at the sugar Camps the incessant hauling and emptying Ltd of the sap from the Woods the tramping up and Down gullies the collecting of firewood to use under the Eva and standing Over the tanks the wetting from rain or wet Snow Tho cold and a few other things that so they say. Combine to make Maple syrup manufacturing the very hardest task they have during the entire year. Here in Putnam county the syrup which has been sold a fetched Quot $2.50 usually but some has been sol 1 for less. Tiie Best Quality that which has been reduced to the thickest consistency. Is Tho Best and commands the top prices Whilo that which has not been boiled Down so much brings less if the prospective purchaser has an Opportunity to examine it before buying this with their family when mrs.
