Context

Country: Canada
State/Province: Quebec
Period: Early to mid 1900’s
Canada: Used by Canadian orchardist Indell Waddell on Covey Hill, in Quebec's Eastern townships.
Function: Container in which maple sap was collected before being transferred to a storage tank at a sugar house.
Technical: When collecting sap from pails hung on maple trees, producers dumped the sap that had accumulated in the pails into a gathering tank placed on a horse-drawn sleigh so that the sap could be hauled back to a sugar house. Before being moved, the tank was covered with layers of cloth; this prevented dirt from contaminating the sap. At the sugar house, the sap was either drained into a larger storage container, or was immediately fed into an evaporator to make syrup.
Area Notes: Unknown
