ULki)gfliJ(ifiiha jiast 15 yearl, I will give tny s. mode of manufacturing the article, ,and wliat I have. learned in relation to' the matter, which can be summed up iS a few words. In the ..first place,have tKa\«bur"fiipiis a' poor |:ft4ic!e to attempt to make a first class article of sugar from and in but few casses can you after you have been to the trouble "jjf boiling it down to syrup, get anything fitgspfbe called ^gvgar.' Spw. to obviate this, keep everything used in su,«sgar.bush .perfectly sweet, and clean. See that your sap buckets, your gathering

I tub, your storage tubs, or troughs, -are ^each well scoured and scalded inside before using. If you cannot get all the ".''.'acidity out the first time of scalding the utensils, go through the operation a [J second time. You can easily tell wlien have got these perfectly clean and

and sweet, by both smell and touch, and. "should there be any acidity about the .^utensils through the sugar reason, which »iwyou can easily tell by the slimy feeling of tho inside of your buckets, scald them

JiSit is some trouble, but it amply pays. The next thing is the sap. Never let your sap go into the evaporator direct from the gathering tub have your storage so fixed that the sap will have to pass rough'two strainers, at least, before en- .. tering the evaporator, or sugar pan.

The first strainer can be made of com| mon cotton .bagginjr the second one should be four~double. and made of cotton .cloth:, and by this method ^io leaves or dirt get into your evaporator, nothing 'bnt the clean sap. After you have b'oH-*' ,ed the quantity of sap you desire to make

Bjtup, ptoceed to'syrup down to the desired* thickness, as we term it, that you want, taking care that you do not Bcorch the syrup. While

boiling the

SUBV

sap, skim

off all the scum that arises strain your syrup, proceed to put it into the sugar .i kettle, and sugar it off. Use due preeaudr/.tion now, and not let the sugar getscorehjCd while cooking. When it "feathers," as it is termed, it is done. Never boil two runnings of sap, and mix them in the same batch of syrup but keep each running and boiling by itself and should i4 happen that some sap gets soured before boiling, let that go for molasses. By keeping the titonsils used sweet, and being clean in the manufacture:* process, you can always have good sugar, fit for any palate, and never be troubled about U'.y°ur

graining. Well, but the ques-

SCIENCE.

IFrora the Scientific Ainericun.]

What is Steel and How Mndc. Steel is a.* variety of iron occupying a position between wrought iron and cast iron, having less of carbon than cast iron and niorc'than .wrought IVon.' Pure raallealbe, or wjough iron, is theoretically considered as' containing no carbon, but probably few specimens exist without containing some. Cist tton lias four or five por cent andJsteels only from one-half to one and a half per eeut.

As the proportion of carbon in steel increases so it becomes hard' and more brittle and increases in fusibility as cast iron but with diminishing proportions of carbon it assumes more aud more of the softness, malleability, and toughness of wrought iron. Steels of the former chararacter are called "high" steels,' and so the other "low" or "mild" steel. Steel is made iu 'Germany direct from pig iron which contains four or five per cent of carbon. By furnace manipulation a portion of this carbon is driven out and the product is German steel. This is not a pure steel and is generally incapable of being hardened and tempered.

The usual method of producing steel is by cementation or conversion, bars of wrought iron being used. A furnace of suitable form contains boxes made of fire brick in which the bars of iron are packed in layers covered with charcoal powder. The bars do not toush each other but each is enveloped with the charcoal. When filled the pots are covered^and cemented airtight. Heat is then applied by a proper furnace and grates aud the fire gradually increased in intensity for several days. A test bar is introduced at the beginning and is occasionally withdrawn to determine the progress of the process. When the process is completed-the bars, if broken, will be found to have changed their fibrous for a cry^talliue structure. The surface of the bar3 is covered with thin blisters as though lamina) of the iron had been raised by the expansion. of a gas under them, and from'this it gets the name of blistered steel. For some purposes this steel is useful, but it is unfit to be worked into tools for cutting wood or metals.

h-1

O O CD O

re W

& *1 1

W CD O E-

The next process is the tilting. The bars are cut into convenient lengths, piled together and heated in a furnace to a weld and placed under a trip hammer which welds the pieces together and draws.them out into a bai. This process improves the quality of the steel and fits it for some purposes but there is another method of treating the blistered steel that is to melt the steel in air-tight crucibles and cast it. The ingots are then reheated and hammered and perhaps rolled. The process of hammering and rolling is a very important one. -In fact, after the conclusion of tho manufacture iu the working of steel bars, to form them into tools, good forgers always expect to refine aud improve the steel by judicious heating and hammering. ...

What makes the great difference between steel and wrought or cast iron is still a puzzle to mechanics and scientific men. Tho muiu difference appears to be in the varying proportions of carbon which each contains, and in the different chemical conditions in which it exists, yet the amount in those specimens which contain the most is so small that it is difficult to account for its "so entirely changing the character of the metal. It is not yet fully settled that the iron and carbon is chemically united in the best of steel, while it is certain that it is not so united in cast iron but that the union is a merely mechanical one. There is much yet to be learned about iron and steel before we arrive at the real facts.
