GENERAL REMARKS E@tT.oe
The manufacture Of syrup and sugar from
the Chinese cane is in its infancy in the
Cuited States, and is an art requiring IS
much skill and experience as the manu!ac-
turc in the South. Hence the necessity OF
the utmost care at every step. ,a,Ig.f
Iwould respectfully caution any one who
has not had any, or but little experience in
tho business. against yentnring largely into
il at first. A man had better "learn the
trade before he sets up business" I have
had experience in setting up and starting
steam and other sugar and syrup nlanufac-
tnring works, and know what is wanted and
how to proportion and arrange the sand, and
can give full directions, which, il strictly
cTricd out will ensure good result. a,f; i
am free to acknowledge that believe
the way Tor tie public to secure the greatest
economy Especially those Planting small
amount Of ground in this business, is for q
few adjacent neigh'ors 10 join together and
get a one or two horse mill, pans and other
necessary fixtures, ana il they. have spare
time, they can work for others: BY this
method, they can equip themselves for from
Is to % dollars each, doing all the work with.
in themselves. which will. not interfere p,a,
terially with their other fall, business. u
w"uld further say, that for a small amount
Of work, the upright mill will b. found tho
best, rs It is the cheapest and does the same
amount Of work 0lp to its capacity, with
ono fourth less power than il applied through

From alt the experience Of cane growers.
no far ~ can judge, it Is about as. good
business to grow cane, when you can. sell
syrup at twenty five cents per;gallon. as the
ordinary success in growing common crops.
