To this plan of adult‘erating is dot
the cheapness oi the article now iound
4 in the markets. A few years ago the
; tamer realized a nice protit irom the
‘ regular spring runs. Then the sea—
sons had a great deal to do with the
quality at the product and the selling
, price. Some years are not as good as
others. and in times past the iartner
was considered in good luck it he had
a large camp on the sunny side at a
hill and the conditions'were just right
ior making maple syrup; tar. as a con
sequence. he would be able to add a
little extra cash to his exchequer, with
out any waste 0! valuable time. When
the weather is propitious ior this kind
of business nothing else can be work
ed at with proilt. But now things are
changed. and the (armor who comes
out oi his maple business with a proiit
is considered a good financier.
