The Sugar Industry.

TINE following interesting letter
addressed to citizens of Phillips conn
ty we find in the Logan Republican
which we copy entire.-ED. HERA1DO
STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.
STERLING, KAN, Dec. %, 1888.
Mr.. PETER Hansen, AND OrHERs.-
Your letter Of the Path athand. Su-
gar is now successfully made from
sorghum with as much success as
-four is made from wheat. The diff
fusion process and others accompany
ing it for the manufactury of sugar
may be used by everybody, being
practically free from patents. Sew
eral parties have patents on special
methods OF doing portions Of the
work. There are other equally as
good methods Of doing the same
thing so that no one need pay for the
use of any patent on engaging in su-
gar making. The machine for a
plant to make up 100 ton of cane per
day will cost, set up and ready tOrun,
about $4,000 to $4,000. The build
ing, which may be more or less ex-
pensive, is not included in this esti-
mate. A factory having a capacity of
200 tons per day will cost about so
per cent more than the above, and
may be operated at a corresponding
increase of cost.
1 shall at all times be pleased to
furnish you with such information as
you require on this subject. For Of
fetal reports address Hon. M. Mohler
Secretary of the State Board of Agri-
culture, Topeka, and Hon. n. J. Col
man, Commissioner of Agriculture.

is a sure crop the sugar industry viii

The find Is said to be a couple of

find, and Mr.. Kelley, Of this city, an
old miner, was sent for to engage his

tanned. The coal is said to be Of

capital Of this county. A few minutes
ride over the B. & NJ. line lands Us in
Almena, in Norton county, and after
a half hour wait, Ito shake hands with
the boys we take passage over the
Rock Island, and in a few minutes
more we are on the streets of the
Burg. Although we have to go sew
eral miles into the next county to get
started, we feel that the cars are quite
an improvement over the old way of
driving across the country. Instead
Of being cold and worn out by the
trip, we were warm and rested, and
proceeded at once to 'take I'M the
town. The Dispatch man, in his cor
dial way, made US happy at his head
quarters. The jovial Captain of the
Democrat, was at his post, smiling
with delight at the action of the Com
missiOners. Gle says it is wrong to
call him Captain just because he rode
down the river on a raft of lumber,
and we don't blame him a bit Korns

ing our stay. Our attention was es-
pecially attracted by the many val
liable improvements in the city since
our last visit. The Bissen hotel is
nearly ready for occupancy and is a
substantial and grand improvement.
We were pleased to renew acquaint-
ance with r. A. Handy, President of
the State Bank, also to form the ae-

Dear Sir:-I viii attempt to write
my theories in regard to drouth. It's
causes, and what man. may be able to
do to assist nature. I viii also at
tach a copy of our petition that we
are now circulating, hoping you viii
publish the same and we earnestly
hope that the people all over the
drOuth-stricken districts of Kansas
Will take the matter in hand, and that
there viii be such a pressure brought
to bear on our Legislators that our re-
quest viii meet with their favorable
consideration, It has been minated
that this is local matter. This charge
L think is wrong, for drouth has been
the blight of our fair state, from its
earliest existence down to the present
time. But to return to my subject.
In this latitude, during a period of
three months June, July and Aug
ust, heat accumulates with wonder
full rapidity pillows Of heated at
mosphere are raising mountain high
It is the grandest work Of nature;
vegetation is springing into life every
where. This heated atmosphere
must be kept in motion, with an up
ward tendency, intermingling with
the upper currents of cold or moist
atmosphere, which under the con
densing process creates rainfall. Now,
as long as this process continues IN
disturbed, nature fulflls her mission
and bountiful harvest greets the
toiling millions, But we find this
process becomes frustrated at times
in certain sections; it is impaired in
this way by accommodations of heated
air that becomes lodged upon the
surface Of the earth. 1t may be in
Rocks county, Kansas, or in Monroe
county, Iowa. or in the forests Of
Michigan. This accumulation Of
heated and lodged air acts as a re-
sisting force to natures grand work
of distributing moisture it becomes
as it were, solid body resisting
electricity, (which is but a condition
Of matter, and does not enter into
the solid body, but passes over and
around) it breaks up the connection
between the earth and the upper
current Of moisture.
Now I am Of the opinion, could
this disturbance be reported at its
commencement it wouldn't cover an
area to exceed ten miles square, but
should 1t remain undisturbed, widens
out until an erea of from fifty to one
hundred miles is engulfed in a sea of
hot atmosphere. Now, we have what
we term drouth. Here comes in the
possibility of man to assist nature.
The roar or the cannon can be heard
twenty mles. As far as the sound
can be heard the atmosphere has
been disturbed by the vibrations. By
disturbing the atmosphere, friction
is created; friction creates electricity.
As soon as there has been sufficient
electricity produced to make the con
nection between the earth and the
upper current of moisture, and an in
termingling of cold and heated air,
vapor clouds are condensed and rain
fall IS the result
