Reader, did you ever meet with
River Falls Grange! II you have, we
need not tell you anything about 1T.
Saturday. Feb. odd. we started from
FL Paso to attend meeting OF the
County Grange held at that place. Ar
irving there at about IL o'clock A. NJ,
we found the hall crowded with broth
ers and sisters, many of whom were
from st. Croix county. The Grange
was opened in the 4th degree, d. ID.
Proctor in Tie chair. Some good and
sensible remarks were made by o.
Strahl and others, after which re-
cess was taken and dinner announc-
ed. The sisters of River Falls Grange
proved to their visitors that they were
well skilled in the art of cooking.
Two tables were set, extending the
whole length of the hall, and two
times did we see those tables crowded.
Every one seemed to be happy, and no
one left there hungry. Dinner over,
the Grange was again called to order,
Bro. Snow, of Ono, IN the chair. Bro.
Strahl read the best essay we ever
heard. The past and present condi'
ton of the farmers as we'll as their
prospects for the future, were well
handled. Hon. c. d. Parker followed
with good speech. Some splendid
remarks were made by several of the
sisters, but we did not learn their
names. Mrs. ID. d. Proctor read pa
per which did her and the Grange she
belongs to credit. Taken as a whole
the meeting at River Falls was a sue
cess in all respects.

DR.. Tracy has gone to Baraboo. The
Doctor has greatly cndeared himself

city are almost Bostonians in their re-
quirements when they expect an intel
lectual treat, and when man like DR..
Sperry comes, whose extreme purity
of diction falls like summers dew on
their cultivated ears they enjoy it
amazingly; but when man who has
fallen among thieves, and staid there
for twenty years, comes among us to
do work which polished, cultured and
educated men have failed to do, they
"esteem him very highly in love for
his work s sake" and do not dare to
forbid him" because he Is not quite
equal to Edward Everett in style.

Sugar Cane.
TROY. March Sd. 1879.

TROY, March 81, 1917.
EDITORS JoCRNAL:-Shall zoe make
sugar. Years and years ago Wiscon-
sin farmers and others, at club meet
ings and on street corners discussed
the probable merits of sorghum and
sugar beet; the latter was tested by
myself and found TO be good for cat
tie if not for sugar. 1t was supposed
then that the proper apparatus for
manufacturing the beet into sugar or
syrup would cost from fifty to one
hundred thousand dollars, which, of
course, amounted to prohibition with
the beet; the sorghum seemed to at
tain little more popularity, but 1T
wouldn't make sugar; it grew mag
nificently rank and tall; in fact its
great bent seemed to be to grow con-
tinually; hence its product of syrup
was generally unpalatable and unpop-
ular.
Fourteen or fifteen years ago Dexter
b. Bailey and John n. Mcdonald, of
Clifton, each got a mill and made up
sorghum for themselves and others, for
a year or two; but, as there was no
granulation to it, the business seemed
to anguish and soon died out. We
have now, however, III the early am
Der cane, a plant as exactly suited to
our wants as nature can devise; sweet
and juicy, early and ready for use, with
an ardent proclivity for going right
into sugar.
Many of the readers of the JOUR-
NAL saw at the Minnesota state Fair
last fall, this cane, and the manufac-
turing process there in operation, as
well as specimens of sugar, which Were
of the best grades.
Who will get mill and rig up for
manufacturing! and let each farmer
raise an acre or two, that we may
introduce a new and profitable bust
ness, and get sugar at five cents that
now costs the same aU New orleans,
and three or four cents more to get it
to us. A very small sum would get a
mill and that is about all the cash that
would be wanted to start on, the seed,
however, should be looked after very
soon.
Every man, woman, and child of us,
eats about fifty pounds of sugar in a
year, hence ! conclude that the i'm
ports to River Falls cost between fif-
teen and twenty thousand dollars;
now is there not labor enough going
to waste in this vicinity to produce
this sugar and put the money into the
pockets of friends and neighbors.
