German Sugar Making Methods.

The Sterntium process for extract
ing all the marketable sugar from
molasses is working very successfully
in q German factory near Hides
helm, and another was afterwards
erected near Berlin. In nearly all
German factories a practice called
''elution" is used for obtaining all
molasses sugars, and it works very
successfully. The mode of operation
is as follows: Unslaked lime is pow
dered. The molasses is then heated
and run into a machine and mixed
with the powdered lime under heavy
pressure. The mixture, when com
plete, is q thick substance Just fluid
enough to run off through an open
spout into tanks of about six cubic
feet capacity. In about two hours
this becomes a hard substance. This
is afterwards ground into dust, and
put into containers called "Eluseur,"
in which it is treated with alcohol,
which changes the flour of lime into
a milky juice, which is then drawn
into large pan called "Blader," in
which the operation is such as to ex-
tract nearly all the alcohol and leave
saccharat of lime, which is then
used as common milk of lime fer
Qualification of juice. All saccharine
matter is now free and crystalizes
readily like fresh juice. In cOnnec-
8 DL4 tot SN,rr
all sugar, the engagement of a good
chemist is imperative; one who has
made the manufacture of sugar in all
it's intricacies a special study, and
who is thoroughly acquainted with
the methods of operation as mem
toned above, SO that all the benefit
possible could be derived.

Banana Culture.

The Queensland AgricuLturiSt thus
describes its successful method of
banana growing, weight and not
number of fruit on each bunch, being
the object sought. 1t says: When
we started in the banana line we
struck out a course for ourselves. We
were afraid of getting hopelessly
begged if we stuck to the old ruts, so
we boldly turned aside. We first of
all got small sturdy suckers with
good roots; these we planted into
well-trenched land, either rich by
nature or made SO artificially; and
then as growth was made we persist
emily cut out every sucker that
showed, except two, one following
the other, and the cutting out was
done effectually with sharp spade,
which in cutting them out took the
stump clean out of the ground, there
by removing any amount of future
suckers. Our first sucker under this
treatment invariably gave us fair
sized bunch of bananas in about
twelve months from the time
of planting, and the succession
sucker followed with a second
in six months again, and this rate
of production was afterwards main
tanned. The transplanted sucker
never grows so fine bunch
as the following ones, and such
a thing as a stool without a bunch of
fruit in some stage was quite pheno-
menal, while frequently the two
show each its bunch. Under this
persistent method of cutting out
superfluous suckers to the stump be-
meath the ground, we never knew a
sucker to be six months growing be-
fore its fruit appeared, unless a very
droughty time occurred, and vegeta-
ton stagnated entirely. Our readers
will see that we have no desire

FRANCO-CHINESE WAR.

Further intelligence regarding
events in France and China is looked
forward to with great interest. The
last advices were anything but assur-
ing. The losses of General Negrier's
forces before I4angsOn and in the re-
treat are set down at 1900 men, and
the Gdulois says that One-fOurth of
the whole effective French force was
left on the field The French were
in occupation of the city, but were
expelled at the point of the bayOnet
by an overwhelming force of Chinese.
One hundred thousand Chinese
troops are advancing on Chu, and
threaten to destroy the French troops
there. General GioveniIi is sur
rounded at HUI Dohan by 1900 Black
Flags. He is entrenched, and his re-
treat cut off. This is the state of af-
fairs in Tonquin. In Anam and
Cochin-China the people are in re-
volt against French authority, and
it is reported that Admiral Courbet
is to abandon Formosa. General Ne
grier is seriously wounded in the
breast.
The impeachment of the Ferry
Government is demanded at Paris,
and Rochefort says that nothing will
satisfy France but Prime Minister
Ferry's head. But supreme effort
will be made to relieve the army in
Tonquin. Fifty thousand men will
be dispatched to China, and attacks
upon Canton and Peking are talked
of. Meanwhile China has decided to
make friends with Japan, orders hav-
ing been given to Lii Hung Chang to
settle the Corean and Loo Choo ques-
tions.

FUEL ON PLANTATIONS.

The Planters Monthly says: ''The
question Of fuel for plantation labor
ers is a troublesome one on some of
the plantations. The attention of
planters is drawn to the experience
of Dakota farmer, published else
where, who has found. sunflOwer
stalks and heads an excellent fuel.
Sunfowers grow quickly and lux
uriantly here, and with fireWood at
SIS TO Sl8 cord, they are certainly
worth a trial as a substitute" We
cannot say that we think there is
much practical utility in this sug-
gestion. On the vast treeless prairies
of Dakota, where neither coal nor
frewoOd is available, isolated settlers
would find sunfiower stalks and heads
of incalulable benefit for fuel; but
similar conditions do not exist to any
appreciable extent in this country.
Sunfowers exhaust the soil very
rapidly. A merchantable oil may
be expressed from the seed, and
chickens eat it greedily; but it will
not pay to grow it for oil or chicken
feed. An acre, close planted with
Australian blue gum trees, would
furnish all the fuel plantation needs
after the second yt ar from Trimmings
and prunings, while providing shade
and shelter, and raising valuable tim
Der. At Santa Cruz, California, and
at other points in the same State,
common chairs and other articles of
woodward are being manufactured
from eucalyptus lumber, although the
trees have not in many cases attained
to a dozen years growth.

THE PLANTERS AND LIQUOR LICENSES.

A meeting of the trustees of the
Planters and Labor Supply Company
was held on March 23d, according to
a report in the monthly organ of that
incorporation, to consider the recent
action of the Privy Council in author
izing the issuance of spirit licenses in
country districts. We are told that
- the action OF the Privy Council was
condemned in strong terms as being
a direct How at the planting inter
ests," and a protest against this pol
icy addressed to the Minister Of the
Interior, was adopted by the meeting.
But the memorial, as printed by the
Planters Monthly, does not in the
least degree sustain this serious
charge against the Privy Council,
which is made the introduction to
that document. The memorial says
While we disclaim any desire to
improperly interfere with your EX
cellency's judgment in the matter,
and in no wise impugn the motives
of His Majesty or the Privy Council
by reason of such authorization, we
feel that the Importance of the ques-
ton demands the most earnest con-
sideratiOn on the part of your Excel
lency and warrants our addressing
you in the matter" This Is some
thing very different from the prelude,
and is reasonable and proper enough.
The objections to the issuance of
liquor licenses above referred to are
couched in respectful terms, and pre-
sent the case of the planters in a
strong light. It is unfortunate that
there should be n conflict of opinion
between the employers of plantation
labor and the Privy Council, but it
must not be lost sight of that the lat
ter is composed of gentlemen having
big stake in the country, and that
whatever Injuries the planters cannot
possibly benefit them. This is a suffi-
cient answer to the Monthty'S remark
that the vote of the Privy Council on
the license question was ga direct
blow at the planting interests"

| question are we'll known, and it need
not therefore discuss the principle in
volved. It is conceded, of course,
that sober labor is more reliable and
better than labor which is democrat
lied by the use of intoxicants. This
is in substance what the planters say
in their memorial, and upon that
point we are fully in accord with
them. They likewise contend that
the licensing of the liquor traffic will
increase drunkenness. That is mat
ter of opinion, however, which time
alone can verify.
