In addition to what has been already said concerning the maplesugar, it may here be remarked that no cultivation is necessary ; that no contingency, such as hurricanes or bad seasons, can disturb the process ; that neither the heavy expense of mills, engines, machinery, or a system of planting, which occupies negroes for the whole of the season, is necessary at all to make the maplesugar: -- the process occupies six weeks, from the middle of February to the end of March ; and the whole of the buildings, and other articles necessary for carrying it on, are to be obtained at so trifling an expence, as to be within the reach of any person of common industry, whose conduct in life can entitle him to the most moderate credit.

Upon the scale of four men. and for the purpose of making 40 cwt. of sugar, all the implements that are necessary, are these following :
