ALLEGED MAPLE SUGAR.
Something About the Mixture TfeaC fa
Palmed Off" oh a Conlldlas PaMIc
For Uic Pure Article.
New Maple sugar has been in the
market for several weeks, and to de
termine the place of its manufacture has
been the quest of a Tribune reporter.
The nicely molded cakes, regular in
form, labeled "Pure Vermont Maple
Sugar," gave a curious impression, as
the condition of the sugar industry in
Vermont came to be known. Sugaring
has barely commenced in the Green
Mountain State this year, and what
Eurports to !e a product of its sugar
ushes has been for sale at least a
month. Last year the yield of sugar
was very poor, little beyond what was
necessary for local consumption being
made. Most of the sugar obtainable in
Vermont was of the yield of 1882. Under
these circumstances it becomes at
once apparent that the name "Pure
Vermont covers a fraud, the unveiling
of which may be of use to the public.
It was it matter of much difhculty to
gain a knowledge of the exact manner
in which this trade is conducted. The
reporter received any amount of assur
ances that the maple cakes and sirups
were just what the label announced
them to be, while the articles themselves
told to the taste another talc.
Finally a man was found who was
willing to talk, and, as he was in
possession of the bottom facts, his con
versation proved interesting.
"Is there any new maple sugar on
the market?" asked the reporter.
"A small ti:intity of Ohio sugar has
just been received," was the reply. "Lit
tle of it finds its way to the retail trade
in the form of pure sugar. It is mostly
used in flavoring the mixtures sold under
that name.
"What arc tho other ingredients?"
There was a twinkle in the eye of the
dealer as he answered: "O! maple
sugar from Cuba and New Orleans and
the various glucose factories."
"This, then, accouuts for the large
amount of maple sugar for sale?"
"Indeed, it does, and it makes Chi
cago the largest producing district for
maple sugar in the States. Why." said
be, "a large amount of cake sugar
never saw any maple, being composed
entirely of cane sugar. Most of the
cakes, however, contain from two to ten
pounds of maple sugar, the remainder
being about the lowest grade of cano
sugar procurable,1'
"Is anything used to give tho cakes
containing no maplo its flavor?"
"Sometimes, but more often nothing
is-used. The fact is few people know
the taste of pure maple sugar now
adays. There is a llavor used which
makes somewhat of an imitation, but it
will not deceive an expert at all."
How about maple sirun: is this
often a pure article?"
"No; the principle part of the sirup
sold for maple is glucose. The whole
sale price of genuine sirup in Vermont
seldom falls below 81 per gallon, and
to ship this We-st the freight, leakage and
other incidental expenses, will make it
cost, laid down in Chicago, not less than
$l.lfj. To return an adequate profit to
wholesaler and retailer the price of
maple sugar must exceed $1.50 per gal
lon. The pretended maple sirup sells
-from $1.10 to .1.2." at retail, showing
b' this its character."
"Hpw is this latter sirup made?"
"It is composed," said the dealer,
usually of two pounds of maple sugar
and eight pounds of glucose to the gal
lon. The cost of this mixture per gal
lon is as follows:
Two Munds imipV sti;rar...
Kiht M)unds liiLt)x;
Can and inukiiijr
....20 to 23 cents
....24 to 2S cents
....1U to 1- tenia
Total 51 to G5 cents
"You thus see there is a good profit
in this sirup as long as the peo
.plc will buy it for maple. Being fully
ias good nourishment as the genuine
article, and of a very fair flavor, it sells
readily."
"Ilather fraudulent, is it not?"
"It bears that aspect. There could be
.no objection to the sirup if it was sold
exactly for what it is. The fraud lies in
calling it maple sirup and thus obtain
ing an extra price."
"Do retailers understand how maple
sugar and sirup are manufactured?"
"Many of them do, and it is no un
common thing for them to order the
proportion of maple and cane sugar in
the quantity they require. Any manu
lacturcr is willing to do this, unless the
.amount of maple is too large, when
they hesitate, because much larger
profits are obtained when the propoxtion
of maple is small."
" here is the maple sugar used ob
tained, and what is its qualitv?"
"Much of it comes from Vermont"
was the reply. "The first sugar made,
being of fine quality, is mostly sold
there for home uct and the sugar made
from tho later runs, being dark and of
inferior llavor, comes to Chicago for this
use. Much ugar is bought in Canada,
and. as it is very poor, strong and dark,
it is valuable for this purpose. It goes
much farther in the wa of flavoring the
cane sugar base, and the price is another
great advantage. Quantities of this, in
unfavorable years, is bought at live
cents a pound. Then there is much In
dian sugar, as black as your hat, made
in Michigan and Wisconsin, which costs
us from eight to nine cents, that goes
into our Chicago product"
"What is the cost of pure maple
sugar?"
Good sugar commands frou 10 to 12
cents per pound where it is made. The
latter when it is put up in small quan
tities; the former when in tubs."
"Is Vermont sugar often found in
cakes?"
"It usually is put up in a very moist
condition and must be boiled down con
siderably to form it into cakes. During
this process it loses much in weight
This is the reason sugar makers so sel
dom in large sugar districts boil it
down, as it seems to sell full as well in
the moist state."
"Is there any genuine sugar to be
obtained in retail stores?"
"None at present, I should say, but
if a large quantity is made this spring
some genuine cake sugar will appear.
"The imitation is so good as" far as
appearance goes, how is one to tell the
. genuine when it does come?" the re-
- porter asked, thinking it might be of
use to be in possession of such informa
tion. -
"The imitation is easily detected by
the trade. Whv. half of the sugar cx
posea for sale" lias not -the slightest
maple taste. But all people do not
know this, and they must tell in a dif
ferent way. If the sugar is nicely

ity, it will be, & good, true article,"
"What price does the wholesale
manufacturer of the pretended article
obtain?"
"About nine cents, and it gives us a
good profit, though I must say it docs
not compare with that tho retailer gets
when he sells our product for new
sugar at 40 cents a pound, as was done
two or three weeks ago, or at 20 cents as
the ruling price is at present."
Every uay the publio is imposed upon
by adulterated foods. In this case,
while the adulteration does no harm to
the health, it ccrtaiulv does to the
pocket Glucose and cane sugar of in
ferior quality may be nutritious and
fully worth their true price, but when
by false pretense sold under another
name and men obtain two and three
values for them the act becomes fraud
ulent. Commercial dishonor of this kind is a
growing evil, and bears heavily upon
the poor. Meanwhile philanthropic
people stand idly by. allowing the
swindlers to flourish. No one for a mo
ment supposes all dealers sell this con
cocted maple-sugar with the purpose of
deceit. "Everybody does it, and wtj
must have it, "says the average man.
The honest dealer has no protection
against tho rogue. The country i
badly in need of laws governing thu
sale of adulterations. And no better
service can be given to the people ol
slender means than the procurement oi
the passage of laws for this purpose.
Charitable organizations will, by ginn
ing such legislation and seeing to its en
forcement, aid those who need help and
not run the risk of making paupers, as
ill-advised charity so often has done.
While maple-sugar is not a necessity,
these general remarks arc applicable to
its adulteration. It is a method by
which an unfair equivalent is given for
the people's money. Would it not be a
good idea to introduce the French law
regarding adulterations? Should it hap
pen that one or two dealers wero
obliged to put up a placard announc
ing, "This lirm has been lined for sell
ing adulterated goods," the practice
would soon be overthrown.
Honorable dealers would then have
some protection and not be in constant
danger of teing undersold by men hav
ing cunning imitations. Iluying things
for just what they are men would re
ceive more for their money. Chicago

Zobehr, the Slave Dealer.
Dr. Schwcinfurth gives a vivid de
scription of a visit paid to Zobehr Pasha
in 1871. Zobehr possessed a line of
thirty fortified posts reaching far into
the heart of Africa, by means of which
he had not only become tho head of all
the slave-dealers, but was the real and
sole chief of their countrv. The
Khedive, owcrless to control this for
midable vassal, had sent his troops to
join him in an expedition against the
Sultan of Darfur. Unfortunately for
himself, Zobehr went down to Cairo to
assert his claim to be made Governor of
that province, carrying with him, it is
said, 100,000 to Ikj used as bribes.
He was detained in Cairo, and put upon
the pension list at 100 a month. A
message from Zobehr forwarded to his
son and the officers who had sworn
fidelity to him under the great, tree at
Shaka, as described b' Colonel Gordon,
produced a speedy revolt among the
slave-dealers. It was this revolt which
was crushed by Gessi Pasha, who shot
Suleiman, Zobehr's son. He also slew
all his officers except one, who escaped,
and is now supposed to lie the mehdi.
Zobehr was kept as a State prisoner at
the capital. Ten years passed. An
other pretender annihilated the Egypt
ian forces, and menaced Egypt itself
with invasion. Then the officials at
Cairo, being manifestly without re
sources, applied to the distinguished
captive. Would he. go back to his
home? Would he summon his faithful
Nubians to his standard? Would he
for pity's sake do something to stay the
advance of this fanatical plague? Yes.
He would do all this. He would lead,
in the Khedive's name, the black con
tingent of the Soudan expeditionary
force. Very good, said the ministers;
but leave us, pray, your wife and
laughter as hostages shall we say?
for your good behavior. Yes. By all
means, said Zobehr. Keep them and
welcome, iiut secretly he sent oil his
spouse to Suakim; not so secretly, how
ever, but that the vizier heard of it, and
so Zobehr himself was arrested. How
ever, he was afterward set free again.
Devising a New Game of Billiards.
The game of billiards has been over
done, so to speak, by the professionals.
First they played so well on the old six
pocket tables that the number of pock
ets was reduced to four. After that
pockets were dispensed with altogether.
Then tho four-ball carrom game grew
so monotonous that the number of lulls
was limited to three. Practice even at
this made the experts so perfect and the
system of rail playing so lost its novelty
for the spectators that various limita
tions have been put upon the game, all
of which have their defects, and none
have given entire satisfaction to all the
professionals.
Mr. William Sexton in talking on this
subject stated that he had au objection
to chalk marks upon a table, and sug
gested that a very interesting gamo
could be made by barring nothing up to
the time when a player had made fifty
points, when tho balls should be spot
ted as in the opening of the game. If
ho counted and again got the balls to
gether they should be spotted again
when he made another fifty, and so on.
Another game that has been sug
gested is that of requiring the player to
take two or three cushions before count
ing at regular stages in his run. say at
the end of even- twenty-live or fifty
points, but having no other restrictions
whatever upon the game. Mr. Sexton
thought that this would not be so inter
esting as a game in which the balls
should be sjK)ttcd as he suggests.
The most novel plan that has yet
been suggested, however, is that of
playing a match upon two tables, each
player to have his own table aud balls
to himself, and to be compelled, after
making a miss, to cease playing for a
certain specified length of time, his op
ponent meanwhile, supposing he has
not missed, to go right on scoring. Tho
person who suggested this style of game
argued that it would be a test of speed
as well as of skill, and that if one player
could score 100 points in twenty min
utes, while it took another playcf twenty-five
minutes in which to make the
same number of carroms, the former
was entitled to some advantage. Cer
tainly this game would be extremely ex
citing if the play should be close "and
the final result" should depend upon
making the largest number of carroms
in tho very shortest time. X. Y. Herald.

How Net to (jruw Old.
It becomes self-evident, therefore,
that, living moderately and as much as
possible on a diet containing a mini
mum amount of earthly particles, is
clearly most suitable in order to retard
old age and thereby prolong existence.
The most rational treatment with a
view to retard old age is. in the first
place, to endeavor as far as possible to
counteract the excessive action of
atmospheric oxygen, secondly, to re
tard the deposil of ossiiic matter, and
as far as possible to dissolve partially
formed calcareous concretions. Dis
tilled water aud diluted phosphoric acid
are believed by Mr. de Lacy K ans to
have the desired effect. When con
sidering their special action we cannot
but fully coincide with him as to their
efficacy in retarding old age by their
combined chemical action. Now dis
tilled water alone has a powerful action
owing to its solvent properties, thereby
dissolving and excreting the excess of
earthy salts which otherwise would lie
come blocked up in the system, grad
ually storing up those blockages which
iu time cause old age. The solvent
properties of distilled water are so great
per .se tuat on distillation in vessels it
actually dissolves small pallidas of
them. Now the generality of waters
contain more or less carbonate of lime,
and are to be avoided, especially those
from chalky soils, tending as they do to
produce calcareous deposits. The action
of distilled water as a beverage is brielly
as follows: First, its absorption into
the blood is rapid; second, it keeps
soluble those salts already existing in
the blood, thereby preventing their un
due deposit; third, it faciliatcs in a
marked degree their elimination by
means of excretion. After middle life
a daily use of distilled water is highly
beneficial to those desirous of retarding
old age, and it is also 11 useful adjunct
for averting stone in the bladder and
kidneys. Knowledge.
Shyness aud Timidity.
In common "horse language," these
propensities are confounded one with
the other or else no proper and right
distinction is made between them.
A horse may be timid without being
shy. though he can hardly be said to be
shy without being timid. Young horses
in their breaking are timid, frightened
at every fresh or strange object they
see. They stand gazing and staring
at objects they have not seen before,
fearful to approach them: but they do
not run away from, or shy at, them: on
the contrary, the moment they are con
vinced there is nothing hurtful
in them, they refuse not to approach
or even trample upon them. This the
shv horse will not do. He can not le
persuaded to turn toward or even to
look at the object he shies at. much less
to approach it.
Timid horses, through usage and ex
perience, get the better of their timidity,
aud in time become very oppo&ite to
fearful; but shy horses, unless worked
down to fatgue or broken-spiritcdness,
rarely forget their old sins. The best
way to treat them is to work them, day
by day, moderately for hours together,
taking no notice whatever of their shy
ing tricks, neither caressing nor chas
tising them, and on no account what
ever endeavoring to turn their heads
either towards or away from the objects
shied at. Prairie Farmer.

ICiist in Wheat.
A scientific gentleman, an editor of
an agricultural journ.d, makes the re
markable statement in an article under
his name, to the clleet I tint rust in wheat
is caused by the barberry, from which
the spores of the fungus known us rust
spread to the who:::. And ho gives
also a full account of the life history of
this pest of the wheat plant, based upon
this supposed origin of it. The writer,
unfortunately, cann it have any practi
cal experience of wh.it he has written
about, and misleads I'.umers egregiously
into a state of false s. curity, supposing,
in the absence of the barberry bushes
from their farms, the wheat will be safe
from rust. What a delusion this is may
le perceived when we recall the fact
that in the largest wheat-growing lo
calities in America 0:10 barberry uush
could not be found in a thousand square
miles, if indeed there is one to be found
anywhere near one single wheat field
in ten thousand or ten times as many.
The truth is thatthis supposed origin of
the wheat rust is quite a gratuitous as
sumption of the fungologists of England,
published in English books and papers,
and has no foundation here, where the
barberry, is quite a rare plant in the
farmers' fields or gardens. No doubt
there may boa very close resemblance
between the barberry and the wheat
.-j . .1 i . .
rusis. :iim nicy may do meniieai, in
which ease it may bo a question if the
wheat infects tho barberry or the bar
berry the wheat, and one is as likely its
the other. Hut the wild blackberry is
also infected with rust, and there are
more and better reasons for believing
that this rust is relatetl to wheat rust
than that wheat can be infected from
barberry which never was within a
thousand miles of it. The fact is that
there is no reason to search for any
origin of wheat rust outside of the
wheat itself, for this grain is univorsally
affected by it more or less according to
season, aud it is wiser to take the com
monly used precautions to prevent it
viz., steeping the wheat in a blue vitrol
solution than to blame an absent plant
for it AT. Y. Times.
How Do?p to Plant Seels.
There is perhaps, no question on
which there is a wider difference of
opinion among farmers and gardeners
than tho proper depth for planting
seeds. Some from practice and ex
perience affirm that deep planting is tho
method to ensure the best results, while
there are others who contend with equal
force that a light covering of soil is the
best It is a matter in which it would
be difficult to lay down any general
rule. The proper depth for planting
the same kind of seeds must vary ac
cording to the nature and condition of
the soil and also upon other circum
stances. Seed planted in a heavy,
clayey soil to the depth that would be
proper in light and sandy ground would
be greatly retarded in germination and
growth, if not destroying entirely. The
season of the year, too, whether early
or late, wet or dry, has an important
bearing on the matter. Seeds sown
very deep in early spring, before tho
ground is fairly warmed up, are almost
sure to rot in the ground. This is par
ticularly tho case with many garden
seeds like onions, parsnips and beets.
In general, common sense and judgment
based on experience must be allowed to
control this matterof planting. It is not
safe to follow the directions printed on
seed packages.
The general tendency is to plant too
deep. The young plants seem to par
tially exhaust their strength and vitality
in pushing their way up through the
thick, heavy layer of "soil, before coming
to the light The more hardy plant3,
such as potatoes, may not be seriously
affected hy circumstances that would
ruin the growth of corn and some other
plants. As a rule, the nearer the sur
face the seeds are planted where the
soil is reasonably moist the better
chance there is for a quick, steady and
vigorous growth. The base and roots
of-the plant may be covered deeper af
terward in process of hoeing. A". Y.

Lightest draft Binder made, and the only Binder which does not injure
horses' necks, all the heavy gearing and machin
ery being behind.
The following illustrations show a few of the points of advantage which the "DEERING" has
over its competitors:
The following cuts
show the pieces of the
Deering cord holder and
knotter when taken
apart only six in number,
Which when put together are really
only two, as shown in this cut.

A neat little device,
shown in the following
cut has been added to
the Deering Binder for
'84, this extension butt
board, which is adjusted
to machine as shown in
cut farther down.
i&& ' I
Makes all the bundles bound by the
Deering square at the butts, thus not
allowing any of the grain to slip out
and waste while handling the bundles.
It will readily be seen
that this gives the Deering
an immense advantage
over all its competitors,
who cannot do better than
shown in this cut.

Of the Deering Knotter it can truly be
said that it is no complication, no getting
out of order, no springs in Knotter, no
numberless lot of weak little pieces, no
missing of bundles, always sure, very sim
ple, very strong.
