Scope & Content:
Mimeographed papers regarding maple sugar making by the Indians. In the month of March, when the sun has acquired a little force and the trees commence to contain sap, they make transverse incisions whith the hatchet on the trunks of these trees, from which there flows in abundance a liquid which they receive in large vessels of bark, they then boil the liquid over the fire which consumes all the phlegm and causes the remaineder to thicken to the consistency of syrup or even of a loaf of sugar.
