SYRUP FROM MELONS.
An Interesting Experiment aud It's
Result.

An Interesting Experiment aud It's
Result.
HARLEM, GA, Aug. 20-Editor Morn
inq NetoS: For the benefit of those Of your
readers who may be interested in the melon
industry I send you herewith the results of
an experiment which have just made upon
the watermelon, for tho purpose of de.
termining the quantity and quality of
syrup possible to be obtained theTefrom.
A we'll developed, ripe watermelon of the
rattlesnake variety, weighing twenty-five
pounds, was cut, and all the Juice from the
red portion passed through a cloth filter to
separate it from the pulp. Eleven-and-
a-half pints Of juice were thus obtained.
The juice was then evaporated down to a
rich, red syrup of the usual consistency
and again measured. One twentieth Of the
original bulk, or 575 of pint was the re-
suit. During the boiling red scum
formed on top Of the liquid which was
carefully SKINNED off. The quality of the
syrup was excellent and compared fayora-
bly, with a good grade of cane syrup.
From this experiment 1t is found that
about per cent. of the juice, or ~ per
cent of the entire weight of the water
melon may be converted into good grade
of syrup and that, too, at small expense
1t would accordingly require 20 gallons of
the Juice, or about IA melons of % pounds
each, to make one gallon Of syrup. While
it might not be profitable to grow water
melons exclusively to be converted into
syrup, still a large surplus crop, such as we
have had this year, might be profitably dis
posed of in this way. The smaller melons,
too, which could not find ready sale could
thus be utilized THESE considerations,
taken together with the fact that labor at
the season required is abundant and cheap,
NAV give to the thoughts herein suggested
some economic value to the farmers Of our
southern country. OTIS AsHNIoRE.

TIE NEED OF REGULATION.

Speaking of the showing in The DIS
PATCH of the importance to Pittsburg in
dustries of the reduction in ore rates, the
New York Commercial Advertiser says that
it illustrates the enormous power of rail-
roads to regulate by their own adjustment
of freight charges the growth Of industries
in different localities. 1t is this power, and
the railroads equally dangerous power of
building up the business of single concern
by discriminating rates. which makes nee
essary an intelligent supervision of railway
charges by the State" That is exactly
what the supporters Of railway regulation
have been contending for years; and it is
encouraging to find that journal of the
Commercial Advertisers position has at last
come to recognize the justice of the claim.
That progress permits the hope that it will
yet be seen that condition which requires
the regulation of freight charges by the
State is as abnormal as one which would
call for the regulation of the price that the
farmer shall get for raising grain or cattle;
and that the only perfect reform will be the
establishment of such free operation of de-
mand and supply that the force of competi-
tion will fix the reward of one service as IN
erringly and unalterably as it does that of
the other.
As to the danger which our New York
cotemporary goes on to refer to, of '1egisla-
ton which bade fair at one time to destroy
all the profits of the railroad corporations,
the possibility must be recognized; but as to
the actual fact we would be glad to have
it exercise its usual frankness in say
ing whether it really believes that the
granger legislation had half as much to
do with the railway insolvencies of 1897
as the preceding practice of building
roads on first mortgage bonds, and issuing
the second mortgages and stock as pure
water.

HOMES FOR THE ToILERs.

There is great deal beside novelty to
recommend Erastus Wiman's scheme for
building houses for poor men, which some
of Pittsburg's wealthy men are said to be
desirous of adopting for application here.
As Mr.. Wiman explained his scheme to
them, it consists in building cheap houses,
costing not over 81 500 apiece, on Staten
Island, and then renting them to laboring
men at $500 year for series of years, on
condition that if the man dies during the
term of the lease, the house goes to his
widow in fee simple at the time of his death.
And if he lives through the lease term and
pays his annual rent of $500 regularly, then
the house becomes his by reason of those
very annual payments which were called
rent while they were being made, but in
fact were more in the nature of life insur-
ance premiums and home purchase money
combined.
In the absence of some essential particu-
lars it would not be fair to Mr.. Wiman or
to any one concerned to pass upon this pro-
ject. But at present any plan by which the
toilers in our mills and shops n,uld be pro-
vided with cheap and healthy houses, of
which they might by the exercise of COM
mon care and thrift become possessed, would
be of prodigious benefit to the men and
their families, and almost in as great de-
gree blessing to their employers. For the
possession of a home carries with it sense
of responsibility that is sure to make man
a better citizen, better workman and
better husband and father.
