To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is bored through the sap- wood only, since the sap-flow comes from the outer laA'ers and not from the heartwood. A galvanized iron sap- spout, having a hook to carry a pail, is driven into the hole and left there during the sap-gathering season. The sap collected is freed of its. Water by evaporation, and freed of various undesirable products by skimming the surface as they are raised by boiling. The owner of a "sugar bush" performs these operations in the great furnace- heated evaporating p...ans of his sugar house. The small boy does them on his mother's kitchen range; and if he knows the traditions of the sugar- camp, he is sure to try pouring some of his syrup, when it is thickening into sugar, out in Httle driblets upon the surface of clean snow, where it will harden into that most delicious con- fection known to the initiated as ''maple wax. " We live in a day of abtmdant sweets. Nature has always produced sugars in the juices of many plants, but we have only recently learned how to obtain them in quantity and how to purify them and prepare them for keeping and for use.
