Sorghum on High Pine Lands.

~
Editor of The Florida Agriculturist.
On our high pine lands the great
question, while we are waiting for
our orange groves to come into bear
ing, has been, what can we raise that
will do the most towards supporting
US? This summer, in this neighbor-
hood, we have demonstrated by fair
trial that Chinese sorghum will
answer the purpose admirably.
The trials made were on common
unfertilized pine lands, such as the
high ridge extending from below
Palatka to Lake Harvey, with coca.
sional fiat woods interruptions, and
undoubtedly about 100 gallons of
syrup fully equaling cane syrup in
every respect, can be made per acre.
One acre of sorghum will produce as
much fodder as any four or five acres
of corn that stock will eat as readily
as any long forage and the seed tops
from one acre of sorghum will feed
a large flock of poultry the whole
winter. The crushed seeds are con-
sidered as good as oats for working
stock. AS we made no measure
ments of the seed / am unable TO
give them. Then the amount of
trash and bagasse from an acre of
sorghum will much excel for useful.
ness tor mulching purposes any acre
of cow-peas that ever was raised, to
say nothing Of the greater ease of
handling.
The Chinese variety OF sorghum
does not make sugar readily except
ing with aid of chemicals while the
: Early Amber does areqniring also
richer soil and earlier planting. 1t is
thought by some that Early Amber
would be a more profitable crop to
plant on rich soils than the West
India cane.
The manner of cultivating Chinese
sorghum should be about as follows
Prepare your ground as for corn
planting, then plant the seed, of
which two pounds per acre will be re-
quired, in hills, from four to six or
eight seeds per hill, the hills to be
about a foot or fifteen inches apart,
and in drills from three and half to
tour feet apart. After the seed come
up thin out the plants to about three
stalks per hill and keep suckers
pulled off. The cultivation thence.
forth to maturity is similar to that of
corn. When the seed tops are in the
doughy state and beginning to turn
brown the fodder blades should all
be stripped off and will require about
double the care that corn fodder does
before storing away. Then the tops
should be cut off, excepting that to
be reserved for mature seed, and i'm.
mediately cut your cane, which will
require grinding in our common cane
mills, and the juice must be boiled in
copper or galvanized sheet iron evap-
oratorslor pans. Requiring no clarity
ing fluids or preparations but careful
skimming while boiling,and when the
juice gets thick care must be taken
to boil slow so as not to burn it and
thus get a scorched flavor. Be care
full to add no cold juice while boiling.
It is simple process, entirely so,
and eight gallons of juice will make
one of syrup nearly equaling cane
juice which makes seven to one. In
putting away your syrup don't use
old vinegar or liquor barrels. Kero'
sene barrels well sulphur.burnt and
washed with lime milk will do, still
better though, to use jugs and bottles
for home use. The syrup is equal to
SUGAR for cooking or sWeetenino tea

Farming in FlOrida-No. V.
itor of The Florida AQricnlturiat

Editor Of The Florida AgricuIturist.
1n conversation with new settler
few days since, regarding the value
OF hens, l remarked that, if he kept
100 hens and took good care and
saved all the manure, he would have
most enough to fertilize an acre.
Bursting into hearty laugh, he told
me that an old settler had stated to
him that, if he kept Mirty hens, he
would have enough manure for five
acres. This reminded me of the man
who owned a small orchard. Meet.
ing his neighbor one day, he told him
ne had sold twenty five barrels OF
apples and had made nineteen bar
rels of cider, but seeing look of dis
trust upon his face, he took him to
his cellar Where. he con1i ronnt Lner4I,
and sure enough there were nineteen
barrels. He then drew mug full
and handed him TO try. After test
ing, he turned to his neighbor and
said: "Ifyou only had two more ap-
pies you might have made another
BARREL" Now the man who was go
ing to fertilize five acres with the
manure OF thirty hens, is specimen,
and fair one OF our farming. In
stead Of putting all their manure on
one acre, they prefer to cultivate
and spread it ON five, having the
additional labor of planting four
acres, to secure as large crop as
could have been raised on one, had it
been properly MANFRED.
LIBERAL USE OF FERTILIZERS PAY.
In reading the method, kind Of fer.
tilizers, and crop harvested by Gov
ernor Drew Tin late number Of
The FLORIDA AGRIcULTURIsT), to
neighbor, ne at first doubted it.
but when told that Governor Drew
was the man, he said: 'tThat will do
for him, for he has plenty of money
Now if Drew can take so much time
to prepare the soil and raise more
from one acre than is the average on
ten, and finds that it pays, why is it
not as we'll for poorer man ? Peter
