Shall it Come to This.

Shall Minnesota make her own
sugar from corn stalks? Instead of
importing shall she export granulated
sugar? The following speech OF S.
S. G.rtlner before the Widen, coun-
ty agricultural society enbodics a
principal which is of incalculable
importance to the farmers in every
corn growing region in the world
When IL man can raise his own sug.r
his own flour, his own meat AMI veg
etables it seems indeed as if Gods
own road to wealth: and agriculture
is broad, smooth turnpike:
r II attended one of the meetings at
the organization Of National Agri-
acultural society in New York in
{ December last at which Prof. Folwell
the chemist in the Department of
] Agriculture, Washington, delivered
I highly entertaining and instructive
address on the subject of sugar max
ing from cane and corn stalks.
i Prof. Folwell has been making ex-
Z tensive experiments for the past two
wears. The experiments of last fall
was highly gratifying and he was
much surprised at the success at
tanned: He stated that he expert
.mented with the growing Minnesota
Amber Cane. the Louisiana sugar
cane, Stowell's evergreen sweet corn,
the common variety orflint corn, and
the stalk of the large variety OF dent
=. corn-two varieties of sugar. cane
and three of corn. Before maturity
. the cane and the corn stalks would
make large quantity Of syrup of
very good quality; that from the
Minnesota amber cane being the best !;
but very little Of any of the syrups
would granulate. He found that the
greatest quantity of sugar could be
bought and of the best qualify when
the cane had Become fully mstured ;
when the seeds had become fully
, ripe, and the lower leaves Of the
stalk were dead and all evidences OF
maturity. From this time and ten
days to two weeks thereafter the best
!. results were attained. He WAS most
surprised at tllcsresults obtained from
corn--26 different tests were, made
ct different stages Of growth during
tile season and he made the surpris-
. ing statement that the best result

FAIRS.

1t will be remembered that last
summer the FARMER recommended
the holding of monthly fairs or rather
markets, and the idea seemed to meet
with the approval Of the farmers gen.
orally. However, at that time no ac-
tive steps were taken and the matter
has not since been agitated' although
it appears that the leven which was
then planted has been steadily and
quietly growing until now it is about
to spring into active and useful life.
The Agricultural Society at its last
annual meeting recommended the
holding of markets once, a month and
nominated Che last Saturday: in each
month as the day of exchange. As
some of our readers may not be fully
posted as to the benefits to he de-
rived from these days of exchange
we will briefly mention t.em: =:
LIST. II farmer has anything he
wishes to dispose OTTO sell or trade
whether it be a horse, COW, OK, reap
er, mower, the farm itself, or any,
thing hc has, he has the same register
ed in book kept at the FARMER Of
fee for that purpose and the article
is advertised in column feaded
Market Register" two weeks previ~
Gus to the market day. He will thus
always have a way to dispose of any
thing he does not want to keep.
2. TIA farmer wishes to buy a
COW, horse, yoke of oxen, ETC., by
consulting the Market Register he
can see what will be brought in for
sale and knowing that on such day
in such Il place everything in the
market will be congregated he can
make his selection with but little loss
of time and no trouble whatever.
After the successful establishment
of these periodical market days there
will be attracted outside buyers who is
will by their bidding and capital add
to hespro6t of the farmers sales.
1t will excite the farmers to renew
ed energy and make a market for co.
ery.hing they can raise thus increas-
ing their source of profit.
5. 1t will have Il ten dency to in
crease stockraising and encourage
more diversified farming generally,
as farmers will always aim to pro-
duce that for which there is a good
market.
6. 1t will bring the farmers to-
gether for general discussion and in
tercourse once month and this is q
very important consideration.
The first market day will be held
the last S ,turday in February in the
public square in Wadena and every
farmer interested in his own welfare
and the welfare Of his co-laborers in
this section of the country is urgent
ly requested to call at this office and
register his name together with the
article he wishes to GUY or sell and
aid the project by every effort lie can
put forth as it cannot but result in
his ultimate benefit and profit. !:
