St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1878-11-16

The proposed amendments to the
present constitution of our State
seem to have metwith general dis
approval. Both the Democratic
and Republican parties voted solid
against them in this parish, showing
that no matter how the people of
st. Tammany may have differed
otherwise, they were unanimously
in favor of new constitution. In
some portions of the State, how
ever, different opinion prevailed.
In Tangipahoa and Lafourche par
ishes, for instance, both parties
voted for the amendments, while in
other parishes the vote was divided,
some of the amendments being
favored and others rejected In
New Orleans the seventh amend
ment, reducing the Lieutenant-Gov
errors salary, was carried. The
estimated average majority against
the amendments is 5S13, and their
certain defeat by a large majority
is fully assured, SO that we will
merely have to await the assembling
OF the next Legislature to receive
the announcement as to when we
are to have a Constitutional Con-
vention.

A Desoiated Home.

In a letter to The New Orleans
Christian 4drocaie, Rev. Charles B.
Galloway says: Il have sad intel
| ligence to communicate to the
friendssof Rev. L. NJ. Featherstun,
Presiding Elder Of the Jackson Dis
trict, Mississippi Conference. At
his home in Warren county, some
eighteen miles from Vicksburg. he
has seen almost his entire family
in few days perish with the yellow
fever. Of an interesting household
of ten, only two remain-himself
and widowed daughter. He has
been true Christian hero, and
bears his great SORROWS with Chris
tian's faith and resignation"
Rev. f. NJ. Featherstun is the
father of the popular young minis
ter, Rev. Louis A. Featherstun, who
filled his first appointment in the
Covington district some four years
ago. He is now stationed at
Wsynesboro, Miss. The strict quar-
antine established there, excluding
even the mails, prevented him from
corresponding with his home, and
the last letter which he received
from them announced that they
were ali well. The first Injunction
he received of his misfortune was
through the columns of Vicksburg
paper. There are doubtless many
persons in our parish who join US
in extending sympathy to him in his

Sugar-MaAing iza St. TaEnEnany
Parish.

! we paIa visit last week to the
ihome of our enterprising young
! friend Mr.. Milton Burns, which We
reached after a delightful ride of
about nine miles. We found him
and his assistants as ''busy bees, :
for the grinding season has ar
rived. and the sugar mill was in full
operation. He found time, how
ever, to extend us a hearty welcome,
and show us all the courtesies due
to an eminent visitor" Upon our
expressing a desire to be initiated
into the mysteries o. the manufac-
ture of ''short sweetness" he took
rs in charge and we inspected the
entire establishment. Passing up a
short fight of stairs, through clouds
of vapor from the boiling kettles be-
low, we entered the grinding room,
and witnessed the process of mash
ing the cane. Here the juice enters
small receiver which conducts it
down to large tank ON the ground
floor, near the kettles. The juice
from the cane raised by Mr.. Burns
IS very fine, the saccharometer III
dicating IL degrees. He COM
menced grinding about week be-
fore our visit, and up to that time
had made six hogsheads of sugar.
Mr.. Burns is of the opinion that
it viii pay much better to make
sugar than molasses IN ST. Tam
many parish. He has been assured
by a gentleman OF forty years ex-
perience IN sugar making, that it
yields more and graduates better
here than in the coast parishes.
The process is simple and can
easily be acquired by persons de-
string to embark. in the under
taking. Mr.. Burns first runs the
Juice into a tank of 40 gallons
capacity; from this tank he fills
smaller one holding 80 gallons,
where he treats it to pure sugar
lime as he puts it in the first kettle
for boiling. The lime is not put in
the small tank, but dissolved in
bucket of warm juice and slowly
poured into the kettle while the
juice is running in from the tank.
After passing through the third |
boiling kettle it is run off into large |
coolers, where it remains
until it is thoroughly granulated.
This takes from twelve to twenty
four hours, according to the state
of the weather, clear and cold
weather being the most favorable.
After granulation the sugar is put
into perforated barrels and placed
on slanting platform to drip, a
trough at the lower edge catching
the syrup drippings and conveying
them into small tank or molasses
barrel. After being sufficiently
Tried the sugar is ready to be put
nto hogsheads for shipment. The
greatest difficulty in the making of
sugar is to know when it has been
sufficiently boiled. and Mr.. Burns
us that any one, with q little
can soon acquire that
knowledge.
After remaining as long as our
ime would permit, we returned,
lilly satisfied with our visit, and
thoroughly convinced that if st.
'ammany only had its full quota of
uch energetic. young farmers as
Ir. Burns, our parish would soon
e in a more prosperous condi- '
ION.
