VIM. Rutherford, who resides about four
miles from the city, has entered into the
business of mading syrup on a small scale.
Last spring Mr.. Rutherford concluded that
he would try the experiment of raising am
Der cane and planted four acres for trial.
Some of his neighbors, Mr.. Joseph Fair
banks, Steve Powell and Samuel Webster,
planted several more acres, making about
eight acres in all. The experiment has
proved success and Mr.. Rutherford has
obtained from his four acres 700 gallons of
excellent syrup, which, at so cents gallon,
will bring him $3.50. Although his faciIi-
ties for making syrup are not extensive and
as yet rude he has been enabled to make
eighty gallons day. His cane is ground
by horse power, the juice extracted passing
from large wooden receiver into
la large, fiat iron pan with
about thirty apartments. 1t circulates
from one apartment to the other, undergoing
different degrees Of temperature in its pass.
age. Here all foreign ingredients are re-
moved. The syrup 1s then boiled in another
receiver until it assumes the requisite con-
sistency, and the process is completed.
Those who have tried the syrup praise it
highly, and it is the intention of the farm
ers in that vicinity to devote few acres of
their farms to raising sugar cane. Mr.. Ruth
erford has not decided whether he shall sell
his syrup or take it to Hudson and have il
made into sugar. He has, however, decided
that raising sugar cane in Minnesota is 8
successful and profitable venture.
