TEXAS SUGAR pLANrATIoN.

The H,tependent tells of the Wal
deck plantation i'll Brazoria county
which comprises an area Of about
$500 acres, situated about -four
miles from Columbus. The dwelling
Is Il very large. comfortable brick.
built in the ancient style, surrounded
with beautiful shrubbery and trees
of different kinds There is quite Il
stream flowing through the place,
which furnishes water for all pur-
poses. Everything is located con-
veniently = stables. sugar house.
dwelling. quarters and blacksmith
shops-all within stones throw
of each other. Mr.. Viola, the pres
ent manager. says Z that he did
not lose much cane, and that he made
about $50 hogsheads of sugar. The
place was first owned and-opened by
Morgan h,..Smitlr, who sold it 10 Mr..
Bass. Clarified sugar was lnanufac-
tured for some. time. when the stub
bic was plowed up, all the sugar ma
chinery laid aside, and cotton gins
substituted. and the whole planta-
ton was planted in cotton. When
the war ended and the slaves were
freed, raising cotton was considered
impracticable, and cane was again
planted, and it has ever since been a
sugar farm, but the clarifying pro-
cess was abandoned. Mr.. Viola Is
from Louisiana, and has long been q
sugar planter. When he took charge
there were about $50 acres in cane
and about 500 acres in all in cultiva-
ton. There are now 1850 in culti-
walton, $50 being in cane, and lie
more acres are matted down to be
planted IN the spring. The year he
took charge he shipped 242 hogs
heads, and last year he made 600
and besides this two barrels Of mo.
lasses to each hogshead of sugar
making. 1900 barrels, Counting
the molasses at $40 a barrel, and
the sugar at $40 a hogshead, there art
