syrup was made. Some of the first |

The cultivation of the cane is easy as
common corn. | planted mine in one
corner ofmy corn field, and culilyi ted as
corn except one extra hoeing.l For a
tine 1t grows slower that corn, which in
a wet season makes the fox tail. very
much in the way. 1t Will grow where
coumon corn will. If the ground Is
very rich II will all fall down IN sea-
son such as tie last, which makes it
very hard to harvest, but that is all
the damage by falling. When my cane
was fully ripe, that Is, when the seed
was hard, l stripped the blades, cut one
joint with the seed head, and run the
stock through two six inch rollers, and
1 suppose secured about three-fourths ot
the sap, most persons who saw the
cane alter pressing say two-tmrds, which
put in kettles Immediately, and added
u small amount OF lime, say one tea cup

then boiled down. In testing the strength
of the sap, measured ten gallons and
boiled II down and made two gallons OF
syrup, which makes to l, which is 20
