[37]Mr. Davy's comment that "Sheep are not well understood ... Oftendestroyed by the Wolves ... Few ... Except [those] of good Capital keepthem" may explain their absence from these same assessments. [38] Maple syrup provided the sugar supply, a fact noted by land speculatorswho touted this "Country Abounding in the Sugar Tree. "[39] Anti-slaveinterests later thought that maple sugar would replace theslave-produced cane sugar. [40] Mr. Davy described the process as heobserved it at Muncy: The M...aple Trees yield about 5 w of Sugar each on an average annually, some give as much as 15 ws but these are rare. It is drawn off in April & May by boring holes in the Tree into which Quills & Canes are introduced to convey the Juice to a Trough placed round the bottom of it. This juice is boiled down to Sugar & clarified with very little trouble & is very good. [41] Honey also existed in great quantities in the area and was usedextensively. Apparently the "sweet tooth" of the West Branch settlerswas well satisfied by the ample resources for saccharine products.
