Inc DlspGtch says my hobby is amber cane
and '!asses." must say am very fond of the
SO as am able to get a better price than any
other syrup brings in the market. DR.. Bond
brings the charge home that Miller and are
the fathers of the business. I will say this:
the Minnesota early amber cane is the legiti-
mate offspring of the st. Paul chamber of COM
merce and Minnesota State fair; and I am
prouder of the child from the fact it Is able
to stand on its own merits 80 young. My con-
stltuents never could have sent me to the Min
nesota legislature to make laws. But Justly
recognizing that 10000 gallons of sweet this
TALL IN Rice county alone would, in the fail
ure OF the wheat crop, atone for lack Of brains.
have never heard a man say that we had not
made perfect success but one man at the
State fair. He told us could not have made
that sugar, we must have bought it. Should
this man visit my house he would have to give
me credit of having considerable money if I
bought all have on hand.
We find that not all of our granulated sugar
drains readily, because some has more impuri-
ties than the other, but in the new process the
juice being treated we get rid Of what has
been the great obstacle in sugar making. |

Murraysville, Pa, and 1 pronounce it a sue

And now, after long years of toll. wish to
announce to you, gentlemen, we are on the eve
gone far and wide; and am proud of having
made the first dry sugar from cane ever made
in Minnesota. And to the st. Paul chamber of
commerce we feel under great obligations for
calling the attention to the world that sugar
had been made in Minnesota. There was
the ''aiding and abetting'' of what
is soon to revolutionize this whole business.
There was one other man that some of the
newspaper men cast out his name as an en-
thuslast that has rendered by words of en-
couragement substantial aid.
Some OF you may never have heard the
story. Three years ago made my first sugar
of any amount-about 600 pounds. The State
fair was held at Minneapolis two years ago and
o premium of $5 was offered for the best
sample of beet sugar. Thinking to win the
50, which at that time looked large, took a
pail of amber sugar to Minneapolis, thinking
l should secure the SIS. By some means the
sugar did not get a premium, and I returned
home Disguised, and declared that had went
to the last State fair where thousands was paid
Tor fast horses, and not a cent for what con-
sldered was of more worth to the State than
anything at the fair. But after few DAYS
hr.lU. s. Hollestersin whose charge left the
sugar, wrote that did not get any premium,
found the pail of sugar, and that he wanted
some to be sent to Washington.
And In one or two years more
l am sure the committee will be recognized as
doing this State great service.

he had paid some attention to the manufactur.
OF sugar from beets, but he had become salts

question until he heard of Mr.
Kenny and the sugar cane. After .
consultation with the gentleman ant
some experimenting he suddenly changed hi
mind about the practicability of raising sugar
in Minnesota. He said the important thing tt
be done was to cut and grind the cane and boi
