mills and refining the crude molasses
Of planters who did not r to be

some large plantations in Western
Louisiana now worked OH the tenantry
system. Small farmers, in companies
OF live TO twenty, are allowed to culti-
vate ii many acres OF fine sugar cane
lands as they can, free of rent, and are
paid four dollars per ton for all they
make. Several Chicago and Ohio firms

and many planters OF the olden sort have.
followed their example, until there
are now twenty-five central sugar fac

A New Way of Preserving Fruit.

A great deal of fruit is being shipped East from Sacramento. The amount is much larger than at this time last year. Among the shipments has been car load of assorted fruit, put up in the Dietz packing, recently patented pro- cess. The Suisun Republican says that the preservative agent is carbon ized wheat bran, and that by it fresh fruit is preserved from decay, so that it can be shipped East by slow freight and sold off as the demand is made for it without being compelled to sacrifice it for fear of loss. The car load shipped goes to Philadelphia. It contains grapes, plums, peaches. apricots, etc., and goes as fast freight, though here after it is the plan to ship by slow freight, as it will reduce the charge over one-half, or from $1, 900 to $500 a car load to New York. If fruit can be packed in this inexpensive manner, and preserved indefinitely and shipped anywhere, the business will develop. "Fresh peaches at Christmas and grapes at midwinter" are very alluring, and MT. Dietz says that they may be had by simply packing them in wheat bran reduced to charcoal.

Ants as Fruit Growers Friends,

Many of the leading orchard proprie- tors in Northern Italy and Southern Germany are cultivators of the common black ant, which insect they hold in high esteem as the fruit growers best friend. They establish ant hills in their orchards, and leave the police service of their fruit trees entirely to the tiny colonists, which pass all their time in climbing up the stems of the fruit trees, cleansing their boughs and leaves of malefactors, mature as we'll as embryotic, and descending laden with spells to the ground, when they comfortably consume or prudertly store away their booty. They never meddle with sound fruit, but only invade srch apples, pears and plums as have alone already been penetrated by the canker, which they remorselessly pursue to it's fastnesses within the very heart of the fruit. Nowhere are apple and pear trees so free from blight and destructive insects as in the immediate neighbor- hood of large ant hill five or six years old. The favorite food of ants would appear to be the larvw and pupae of those creatures which spend the whole of their brief existence in devouring the tender shoots and juvenile leaves of fruit trees. -Pr0irie Farmer.

Sowing Turnips.

Turnips may be sown up to the mid dle of August. They make 8 good crop to seed down to grass and clover with if sown early, so that the grass will get we'll established before the winter. The ground requires to be we'll plowed and thoroughly narrowed, so that the surface is fine and mellow. The sower should follow the harrow as 1t finishes the work and SOW the seed immediately upon the loose ground, which covers the seed as it settles.
