THAT SUGAR.

EDITOR BULLETIN My attention
has been called to copies of your
paper for December 18th and 18th,
containing statements about the
sugar which arrived in San Fran
cisco on the steamship Westmeath
! from Java, consigned to the Ameri-
can Sugar Refinery Company. 1t
is not my purpose to touch upon
the meaner features of the contro-
versy between the rival San Fran
cisco refineries; but [ may say that
the sympathy of many honorable
merchants of that city, who are ac-
quainted with the facts, is with the
officials of the American Sugar Re-
finery Company. 1t seems to me
that the habit of silence heretofore
maintained by the officers of the
American Sugar Refinery Company,
when attacked by the California Re-
finery Company officials, might, at
times, be more honored in the breach
than in the observance.
Touching the cargo of the West
meath / may say that | saw state
ment of the contract, made by mer-
chants in Batavia with Havemeyer
and Elder of New York city, by
which the merchants are bound to
deliver in San Francisco a cargo of
sugar under No. 13 Dutch standard
of color, at stated price per hun
dredweight, to polarise an average
of 81 degrees. I was informed that
other cargoes had also been pur-
chased for delivery in New York
and that this class of sugar has been
entered at that port for years past.
Upon the arrival of the Wcstmeath
in San Francisco the officers of the
American Sugar Refinery Company,
entered the cargo as per invoice,
giving bonds for the full value OF
the sugar and paid about one hun
dred and forty-four thousand dol
lars for duty assessed upon the
cargo. The work of unloading the
cargo commenced at once, but was
}etopped shortly after by the Custom
<House officials because of informa-
tion given by the President of the
California Refinery, to the effect
that the sugars had been colored to
avoid payment of duty on grades of
sugar of No. 13 and over of the
standard of color. Samples of sew
eral lots of sugar were taken by the
appraiser and submitted to the Gus
tom House chemist for examination
and a report upon results. Pending
the examination by the chemist no
sugar was discharged, but the cargo
was not seized and the vessel was
not sent into the stream. The re-
port of the chemist sustained the in
formation given to the Collector OF
Customs and the officers of the
American Sugar Refinery Company
were asked to pay further sum OF
sixty-two thousand dollars duty,
which was at once done, under pro-
test, and the vessel proceeded to
discharge cargo. / was told that

that the coloring matter used was

doubt amuse practical sugar manu-
facturers.
Mr.. Burr, the chemist of the Am
srican Sugar Refinery Company
submitted samples to other chemists
who reported that they were unable
to find coloring matter. They, NJ

tion by stating that they had fount
that raw sugars were colored witt

FIGURES.

The mortgage system is simply
ruinous. Wherever practiced it is a
burden and a curse. The Star has
been through the years pointing out its
dangers and it has urged upon IL
North Caralina farmers to abandon
the system at whatever sacrafce. 1t
simply e slavery. 1t changes
serfdom from the blacks to the whites.
No farmer can possibly thrive upon
from Is to 80 per cent. e1tra for sup
plies above cash rates. The Lousis-
vile Cowaer-Jownal, in a recent dis
cussion of how the Plutocrats help
the farmers, gives some figures that
confirm what the Star presented not
long since. 1t furnishes some start
ling figures which we commend to all.
It says:
"In ten Western States the farm
mortgages are estimated to amount to
$3,4OO, 900, or twice as much as the
National debt. This is 81 per cent. of
the assessed value of all the farms of
those States. At s per cent. the in
terest would be 1922, 600, 900 a year.
This interest is a hundred and fifty
millions more than we get for all the
wheat we export, and is nearly twice
the average we get for all our cotton
exports.
alt takes now 40 per cent. more
wheat and other farm produce, except
live stock, to pay the amount of that
interest than it did ten or fifteen years
ago. Assuming the mean of payment
to be only farm produce, as it certainly
is, that annual interest, $272, 600, 900,
stands now for an amount of wheat
and other stuff which ten or fifteen
years ago would have sold for $780,
OOO, 600. The difference of $685.
OO0, 900 is simply a theft from the
farmers. But the principal of the debt
covered by mortgage, $4,000, 600, 900,
now takes as much farm produce, ex-
cept live stock, to pay as ten or fifteen
years ago would have sold for 81, $780,
OOO."- Wilmington Star.

ECONOMIC PRINCIPLES OF
FARMING.

Every farmer should know this, that
thorough blowing preparatory to plant
ing, then careful and judicious plant
ing, and good culture, and abundant
manuring, attended with favorable
seasons, is very apt to assure good
crops; that is all that can be said as
regards making abundant crops; the
rest depends on proper and judicious
management in attending to details;
no business can succeed without O
omic management, and the first prin-
ciple to observe is that expenditure
must not exceed income; it is not what
a man makes, but what he saves that
adds to his prosperity; stop the leaks
and waste will be prevented; recollect
the old adage. "Wanton waste makes
woeful want" In the management of
a farm, as we'll as with all other pur-
suits, attending to details has done
more to assure success than anything
else, after having everything regu-
lated to run by a proper system, for
without system everything is left
pretty much to chance. There should
be a place for everything, and every
thing should be in its place, and if
this was observed how much time
would be saved and how much
loss of many things would be pre-
vented. = / have seen instances, and it.

tools, implements and other things

OUT E

Wherever time is an object in clear
ing land no stumps should be allowed.
A stump is unmanageable, and if
green, is quite as apt as not, if cut in
winter, to send up suckers, which will
keep the roots alive and prolong the
nuisance indefinitely. But a tree may
be dug around with comparatively lit
tie labor, and it's top used as a lever to
turn its roots out. of the ground. AS
the tree bends, the roots that adhere
in the sod may be cut with an old axe,
that need not be very sharp for that
purpose. When it lies on the ground
hitch a team to it's top branches, and
twist the body around SO as to loosen
more roots. In this way a tree of
moderate size may be cheaply grub
bed out. When the hole made by ex-
cavating the root is filled, tn, whole
may be plowed and seeded.-We

nlont while the mineral matter is de-
lived from the soil. If the farmer,
therefore, will grow a crop OF clover
on the same land every four years he
will fertilize the land with the nitro
oen taken from the atmosphere, thus
enriching his soil with that which will
cost him but very little, and he may
cut his crop and dispose OF it, pro
vided he shall pillow under the sod
and thus utilize the roots. 1t an ap-
~plication of lime and wood ashes be
made on the land annually the farmer
need not be compelled to purchase
nitrogenous fertilizers at all, and these
advantages he will secure by simply
growing the crop on the land. If,
however, he should prefer to seed
down to clover in the spring, cut the
first growth the next season, and then
plow under the second growth when
the clover shall be from six inches to
one foot high, he will add additional
green manurial matter to the soil; but
without blowing under anything but
the sod, after all the crop shall have
been secured the land will still be ben

and potash, but more if ground bone

cost is a mere pittance compared with
what is saved. It is said by some who
don't know that one or two men at
head quarters are getting rich of the
proceeds of the Alliance. While all
Alliance men know that this is not
true yet were it true, is it not better
that we make n or two rich and
benefit ourselves than to make million
aires out of many and thereby impov-
erish ourselves and reduce the families
of our farmers all over the country to
want and penury? Again we urge
every farmer to unite with some ALI
ance and assist in casting off the bur.
den that is fast becoming to heavy to
bear.-Sanford Erpress.

Winter pears are not SO generally
grown as they should be. Few farm.
ers attempt their culture, because they
do not understand their real excel
lence for home use, or are unwilling
to undertake the extra labor required
in packing, handling and marketing.
Fall pears are marketed by wholesale
at nearly the time when ripe; but a
pear that natures two or three months
later, and needs warmth and folding
in some soft material in q dark place,
to reach it's best development, strikes
the average farmer as involving alto
gether too great labor for him to I'M
dertake. But let him try to buy a
few of these finely-colored and de-
liciously favored fruits, and he will
be satisfied that this ~pottering work is
of the kind that pays. Winter PEARS
ought not to be as expensive as they
are. They bear quite as freely and
surely as varieties that ripen earlier,
and they have the great advantage
over Summer and early Fall. fruits
that it is possible to delay their ripen-
ing, at least of a part, and thus ex-
tend the season for their use. They
do not need greater RI in handling
than Winter apples ought to have,
and will surely pay fos what extra at
tention they receive.

"A manures made on the farm are
of very unequal values, they should
be thoroughly mixed together before
APPLYING to the land or to the crops;
that is. In other words, the manures
should be composted together. Some
are very rich in n eme
and some in others, and, for the most
part, the richer the elements con
tanned the less bulky they are, as, for
instance, hen manure; and, on the
contrary, the more bulky the less value
in fertility. And it is difficult to ap-
ply the less bulky, rich manures eco
nomically to the land; hence 1t Is ad-
visable to compost them with the
bulky, such as barnyard manures. The
rich elements will soon leaven the en-
tire heap, and thus the richer manure
can be evenly distributed over a larger
surface than it could be if In any
smaller bulk; otherwise, too, the poor
est manure might be cast upon the
poorest land, where the richest IS
needed.
AS to applying manure to the hill,
this method, we think agreeable to
our own experience, is not safe as a
general rule. It is better that the
manure used on all crops should be
thoroughly mixed with the soil rather
than in the hill, especially if in guam
tity or in humps, for it soon dries out
when the rains stop, then it I'M ures
rather than benefits the crop. And,
besides, some manures are too strong
for young plants. They do not need
so much nourishment at the start; but
when they have attained considerable
size, and have sent out reotlets all
through the soil, then plant:food is
demanded in abundance, and if it has
been thoroughly Incorporated with
the soil it will be found and taken up.

AS SOC as the ground will work
fairly we'll in the spring, break it deep
and work it thoroughly. If the gar
den be thrown up in ridges the previ-
Gus fall, it can be worked much ear
lier. Many gardeners practice this
method, especially for their earlier
vegetables. Mark the ground off in
rows with a shovel pillow or a hoe; run
them such distance apart as the nature
OF the vegetables to be planted require,
then till in of the compost as much as
is required, rake over it a little of the
soil, then plant. Always drop in a
few more seed than is desired to let
grow, for if early vegetables, espe-
clally, one wants no delay. It is the
practice with many gardeners to
sprinkle ashes over the rows, and some
%saturate the soil with a solution of
copperas as a precaution against in
sects. The working and preparation
of the ground is much the same for
other and later products as that for
the earlier. Thorough breaking and
pulverizing of the soil, a plentiful sup
ply OF well composted manure and
careful differentiation is requisite,
and with these, and the exercise of
reason and common sense, few that
try it will fail to reap profit. AT any
rate, the average gardeners path is as
f1owery as the paths of those of any
other occupation.-AHamta Ga, South

FERTILEZING WITH CLOVER.

A correspondent requests informa-
ton in regard to how best to fertilize
with. clover, and whether it should
grow to a several height, be used as
pasture, or cut as hay before blowing
under. There are certain modes of
fertilizing with clover. One is simply
to use a clover crop in rotation, the
simple occupancy of the land by the
clover being beneficial, as the sod
must always be turned under before
another crop can be grown. To pillow
under a crop Of growing clover that
a be cut as hay will be objected to
by farmers, as they will not willingly
make such a direct sacrifice. MOI are
they required to do so. The object in
advocating the advantages of growing
a crop of clover is to induce a large
number of farmers to grow more of
it. Ifsown on wheat land, and a good
stand be secured, the clover will oc-
cupy the land after the wheat shall be
off, and may be used for any purposes
desired, either as pasturage OF to hay
but the fertilizing of the land is done
by the decay of the roots after the
sod shall have been plowed under. It
is a property Of clover to secure am
monia mostly from the air, and not
from the soil. The proof of this fact
Is shown by the large amount of nj
trogen in clover, yet it thrives best on
q soil rich in potash and lime. Though

corn cut and put in the silo at this
stage, is valuable as when ripened
and made into meal by the old pro-
cess; that the entire goodness is thus
preserved, both of corn and fodder,
and that the ensilage process is atten-
did with much less labor and expense
than the old methods.
We cut our ensilage one-half inch
long, and believe the fine-cut to be
eaten better than that cut at greater
length, the large butts and stalks be-
ing thus as readily eaten as the leaves
and tops. Cut fine there is little op-
portunity for animals to pick it over
and reject any portion. There are
those who advocate and practice put
ting the corn in whole, and claim it to
be an advantage. In the absence Of
cutting apparatus, corn put in this way
may be better than no ensilage, but it
is subject to many objections. Those
who have tried both ways claim that
it is more work to put in whole than
to cut; and in removing from the silo
it is much harder to deal with than
when cut; the large stalks are rejected
by stock in the same name that they
are when cured in the old way, and
that the advantage is all in favor OF
cutting. Those who have small silos
often change work, and a number who
do not feel able to own cutting appar.
atus can in this way obtain all the
benefits of ensilage at small cost. The
silo has made but slow progress thus
far, but is steadily gaining in favor.

quainted, who have tried it, are enthu'
siastic in it's favor.-W. Broom, Hamp
