A tree 20 to 30 years old may be expected to yield from 25 to 40 bus. every alternate year. 200 to 300 bus. 75 to 120 bus. 75 to 100 bus. of dry beans. 400 to 700 bus. 400 to 700 bus. 50 to 75 bus., shelled. 100 to 300 bus.; 900 bus. have been reported. About 150,000 fruits per acre. 100 bus. I or 2 large fruits to the plant for the large sorts like New York purple, and from 3 to 8 fruits for the smaller varieties. 100 bus. 3 to 5 tons. Good raisin vineyards in California, 15 years old, will produce from 10 to 12 tons. 3 to 5 tons. 500 to 1000 bus. 300 to 800 bus.; 600 bus. is a large average yield. 500 to 800 bus. In full bearing a peach-tree should produce from 5 to 10 bus. A tree 20 to 25 years old should give from 25 to 45 bus. 30,000 to 50,000 fruits. 5 to 8 bus. may be considered an average crop for an average tree. 100 to 300 bus. 200 to 400 bus. 50 to 100 bus. SPECIFIC GRAVITY, SUGAR CONTENT, AND BOILING-POINT OF MAPLE SUGAR. • The per cents of sugar given are calculated for a fairly good syrup. The relative values in the last column are based on these per cents, but will be nearly the same for all except the poorest of syrups. The relative value is made use of as follows: A weight of II pounds per gallon, and 35° Baumé is taken as the standard; dividing the weight of the syrup by 11 gives the number of standard gallons; multiplying the price that is to be paid for IIpound syrup by the relative value figure, and dividing by 100, gives the price to be paid per standard gallon. "Example: If 75 cents a gallon is to be paid for 11-pound syrup, how much should be paid for 671 pounds of syrup testing 31° by the Baumé hydrometer? 671÷I1 = 61 standard gallons. 75 X 88 100 = 66 cents per gallon. 61 X 66 = $41.26, price to be paid.” WEIGHT OF SUGAR OBTAINED FROM 100 LBS. OF MAPLE SYRUP Weighing 11 lbs. to the Gallon, when Sugared Off at Different Temperatures. (COOKE AND HILLS.) |
