sugar ana syrup Making for
Sma'l Farmers'
The Hon. J. 7. Henderson, COM
missioner of agriculture for the
State of Georgia, answers an in
quiry as to the best method Of
sugar making suitable on small
farms, and with inexpensive appa-
ratus, or such as are in common
use throughout the State, as follows:
l shall say nothing about the
cutting of the cane, other than to
remark that the cane should be
cut as closely to the ground as
possible, and that the cane should
be worked up IS soon as possible,
at least Within twenty-four hours
after cutting. Neither shall I say
anything about the mills for grind
ing, the pans and kettles for evap-
Grafton, etc., as 1t is supposed that
each farmer who has cane to work
up has already his own special outfit
Where it is desired to make SUI
gar from the juice rather than
syrup, 1t Is OF great importance to
clarity or defecate the juice. In
order to accomplish this object, the
following is the best method of
procedure: The juice as it flows
from the mill should be passed at
once through wire cause or coarse
cloth, to separate pieces of cane
and other mechanical impurities,
and allowed to run either into .
large tank capable of holding the
whole of the juice, or into kettles.
The juice should not remain ex-
posed to the air for more than
twenty or thirty minutes after be-
ing pressed, as fermentation will
be sure to set in and reduce the
yield of sugar. The Qualification
of the sugar could be best effected
by those who have some means of
heating the juice in large. tank
or by means of q steam coil and
steam, as the heat then could be
easily regulated. But for those not
having these appliances, large ket-
ties could be made to answer the
purpose. The juice having been
run into the vessel of whatever
nature, heat is at once applied and
the temperature raised till the

The APPEAL congratulates Sr
Bi-tine ,Nevada's Congressm for
having declared himself for Cannon

IS sound on the silver question. 1t
ashamed of Morrow of California
who has announced that his choice
il for Tom Reed Of Maine. Reed
10 an out and out anti silver man.
ALWAYS has been and always will
be.
Morrow excused himself on the
ground that Reed will stand in
when the time comes. The men
in the West want no such nonsense
~ this.
We do not want to pick up men
who will stand in under pressure,
We want those who have been our
friends in the past.
Cannon has been q red hot silver
man all these years and was fight
ing tor the white metal when Reed
was paying court to the gold bugs.
Any man of the West who votes
fo- Reed is . traitor to the Repub-
lican party and still more so to his
constituents.
The West has played second fid-
die to the East long enough and
this is the year Of revolt against the
scheming bankers who have doubled
the burdens of the poorer classes
that they might add 10 their already
bursting exchchequers.
The debtor class have determined
to release themselves from the grip
OF these usurors ana with silver adj
vancing, the people reused to their
real issues OF the contest and with
. determined front to the enemy,
We can win the battle at the next
session of Congress.
Let it be said that Nevada has |
stood shoulder to shoulder with
Colorado in the fight and whine we
reach out our hands to our friends
in the East We hardly expected a
cross fire from the West.
Morrow of California ought to be
taken in hand by q public meeting
and some political sense pumped into
him. He has been living enough
in public service to know better
than to vote for New York and
Maine gold bugs.

REMEDY FOR CABBAGE WORMS.

The green cabbage worm is trouble
some pest almost everywhere that cab
bages are grown. It is the caterpillar of
small, white butterfly with black spots
on its wings. These may be seen flying
over the cabbage field, in great numbers
all through the summer, depositing their
eggs on every plant. To keep the
worms at all in check requires the almost
continuous application of some strong in
secticide. The trouble may be greatly
lessened by poisoning as many of the but
terties as possible. To do this, attach
artificial flowers securely to the top of
sticks eighteen to twenty inches long,
and cover the flowers with arsenic mixed
with sugar, or with sweet paste of any
sort. Put these sticks into the ground at
frequent intervals throughout the field;
the butterflies will be attracted to the
flowers, and will get enough of the
poison to give them an effectual quietus
Besides the saving of labor, this is a
much better method than to risk the too
frequent application Of strong insecticides
to the plants. Arsenical poisons should
never be applied after the plants have
begun to head.-American Agricuztuyist

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.


Plant plenty of peas.
Clean your oats before sowing.
Get your onions in as early as possible.
To have tender lettuce don't SOW thick.
Use hemp Irvine this season if you can
get it.
Red raspberry honey is pronounced de-
licious.
A loose, slack looking apiary is unpar-
donable.
Keep fowls constantly supplied with
pure, fresh water.
Our best and most successful men have
been reared on the farm.
1t is time for farmers and dairymen
to pick up breeding stock.
Insist on careful straining of the milk
Immediately after it is drawn.
Good tools are essential to farming, a
saving in time and cost of labor.
The boy on the farm is used to more
consideration than he generally gets.
When setting the hen sprinkle -four of
sulphur in the nests to keep down the
lice.
The working of the land just now is
the all important matter for profitable
farm.
A top dressing of ashes may with adj
vantage be applied to corn just after COM
ing up.
Keep the harrow running lengthwise of
the corn rows until the corn is too high
to aGmit of it.
To be too fiery is fault in a horse
drawing heavy loads on an uneven road.
For this work a strong and slow horse is
better.
Many people think that cool, damp
place is the best in which to keep honey.
But the Michigan Farmer says it should
always be kept in warm, dry place.
A good article of butter or cheese
really costs no more than an inferior one.
The production is no more; the differ
ence is that in the one case it is done
right and the other wrong.
The draft horse derives his power from
several sources-the development of those
parts which constitute bulks, the energy
of its muscular action, and the firmness
and hardness of its organs.

Sucking MARES.

Is it beneficial to mares sucking colts
to give them flax seed in any shape, or
oil meal, and are they safe to give mares
before foaling? Flax seed is safe and
beneficial to any class Of animals, in any
condition, when fed to them in proper
quantities, and properly prepared. If
the raw flax seed is used, it should be
boiled to jelly in six or eight times it's
quantity of water. Then pint dsfly of
this flax seed jelly can be fed profitably
to mares before and after foaling, and to
colts as soon as they will eat. In al
cases the jelly must be fed mixed with a
full feed of oats, bran, cut clover or shorts.
Corn is not the best for mares or colts.
The oil meal, either of the old or new
patent, can also be proftably used, but
in all cases moderately, with liberal guam
titles of other food. But with oil meal
it is not necessary to boil it. One pound
of oil meal is full feed, with other food,
per day, for a mature animal.

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
STONE FRUITT.

It is the seed that exhausts in fruit pro-
duction. This is especially true of large
seeds inclosed in stones. The proportion
of seed to the fruit is proportionately
greater in the cherry, plum and peach
than in the apple or pear. In the de-
velopment of seeds, potash is very es-
sential. Trees that over-bear have the
growth of their fruit checked at just the
point where seed development ought to
begin. In the grapevine the exhaustion
from over-bearing causes the vine to
mildew and refuse to ripen either fruit or
wood. Thinning the punches early and
applying a liberal dose of potash salts arc
the best preventives of this diseased con-
dition of the vine.-Boston CuticatOr.

THE POTATO CROP.

One Of the most valuable of farm crops
is potatoes. 1t may easily realize $50 per
acre for feeding stock alone at the rate of
twenty-five cents per bushel, at which
price it can be most proftably used. A
belated crop can never make up for lost
time. A forward crop escapes the later
dangers. So that now this crop should
be pushed ahead by frequent cultivation
and whatever fertilizing can be afforded.
The ground should be thoroughly loosened
between the rows at once, and no other
implement is better for this work than the
common "bull-tongue" plow,- which,
when run in the middle of the rows, mel
lows and opens the soil for the spread of
the roots. This cannot be done later.
After this the use of a light harrow in the
rows, with a dressing of gypsum, will
help the crop very much.-Neeo YORK.

TO CLEAN ENGRAYINGS.

Put the engraving on clean BOARD
and cover it with thin layer of common
salt, finely pulverized; then squeeze
lemon-juice upon the salt until a consid-
cradle portion of it is dissolved. After
every part of the picture has been sub
jected to this treatment elevate one end
of the board so that it will form an angle
of about forty-fve degrees with the hori-
zon. From teakettIe or other suitable
vessel pour on the engraving boiling
water until the salt and lemon-i juice are
entirely washed off. The engraving will
then be perfectly clean and free from
stain. 1t must be dried on the board or
on some smooth surface gradually, not by
the fire or sun.
Immerse the print for an hour or so Cor
longer if necessary in a lye made by add
ing to the strongest muriatic acid it's own
weight in water, and to three parts of
this mixture adding one Of red oxide of
manganese. India ink stains should in
the first instance be taken out with India
rubber very carefully. If the print has
been mounted the paste on the back
should be removed with warm water.
Another recipe is: Lay the engraving
down on smooth board with a clean
sheet of paper underneath, and with
clean sponge and water wet the picture
on both side and then saturate it we'll
with a soft sponge with the following
mixture: quarter of pound chloride of
lime, two ounces of oxalic acid and one
quart of soft water and apply.-Ameri-

ART OF BOTTLE CLEANING.

Most medicine bottles can be cleaned
by washing thoroughly in hot soap-suds
and rinsing in cold water; but there may
be some that will require different treat
ment. Some druggists clean narrow
necked bottles by putting in bits of blot
ting paper with some water, shaking
well, emptying, them rinsing. This will
make them very clean. Frequently bot
ties will be musty when standing any
length of time, and in this case, if they
are filled with cold water and let stand
for an hour or two, the musty smell will
disappear. If the bottles are greasy, fill
with warm water, put in piece of wash
ingsoda, allow it to dissolve, then shake
the bottle thoroughly, empty, rinse, and
put TO drain. A few drops of ammonia
in a bottle of warm water will be found
excellent to clean greasy bottle
Powdered charcoal and water are good
to clean bottle that is not greasy.-Once

FROM SAVAGE I'd CIVILIZATION.

sWIFT's SPECIFIC is a simple vege-
table compound prepared from roots fresh
ly gathered from the forests. The formula
was obtained from the Greek Indians by
the whites who had witnessed the won
derful cures of blood diseases made by
that tribe. 1t has been used since 1929,
and has been the greatest blessing to man
kind in curing diseases of the blood, in
many instances after all other remedies
had failed.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
MAKING sCRAP-BOoKs.

Good glue is best for picture scrap
books, as it is not so apt to warp the page
or to ''soak" the paper. For reading
scraps book-binder's paste, or any good
cooked paste, is better than mucilage.
Spread the paste thinly and evenly on
the scrap, not on the leaf, and while it is
damp lay on an extra sheet of paper "a
piece of newspaper over the page and
iron it with a pretty hot fat-iron till it is
dry. When nearly dry, the fat-iron may
be applied directly to the page, taking
care always to look out for the paper OF
fat-iron sticking to the page. b this
means the pageis kept smooth, otherwise
it will dry in wrinkles. When glue is
used no ironing is needed, but a little
more care is required in applying it.

GATHERING AND DRYING HERBS.

Herbs that are to be preserved should
be collected as soon as they begin to
flower and on dry day after the dew
and moisture deposited on them have
evaporated. It is better to dry them il
the shade in situation where they are in
a current of dry air rather than in a
heated room or by direct exposure to the
rays Of the sun. In the latter case they
Will lose much of their green color, which
will affect them unfavorably if intended
Tor sale, and while they should be dried
quickly to preserve their aromatic quail
ties 1t should be done in such a way as to
retain their color as we'll. The same rule
Will apply to roots, which should be thor
oughly washed before drying. AS soon
as properly dried both plants and roots
should be packed away in boxes or other
wise so as to exclude them from the air
and preserve their valuable properties
whether aromatic or medicinal. For
home use the cheap paper bags now so
common answer the purpose we'll. These
should be marked with the name of the
variety and hung up or laid away in a
Dry place until wanted. Quite number
OF plants that might be named are found
growing in fields and along roadsides, of
which some should be gathered and pre-
served for their medicinal qualities
against time of need. This is some
Ihlng that should not be neglected, 9th
erWlse they will quite often be wanted at
season when they cannot be gathered,
and besides this they are better for use
When dried than when green. The

can be usually sold to butchers and GRO
