Sweet Cane and It's Uses.-No. l.

Sweet Cane and It's Uses.-No. l.
After many years observation of the
sugar industry in Florida and Southern
Georgia, and the uses to which sugar cane
may be proftably appropriated other
wise, | am impressed with the fact that
no one industry in the State of Florida,
and especially in it's southern localities,
stands higher up on the bill than it does.
AS to the exact amount in dollars and
cents, even for sugar and syrup alone for
family use, minus other articles prepared
from it and sold in the markets, | am
unable to make even a satisfactory guess
at the figures. But is it not safe to say
that it far Overleaps one hundred
million dollars | saw it stated not long
since in an article by Mr.. Yarmouth, of
Louisiana, who is a large sugar planter,
that the region of the lower South ought
to produce enough sugar and syrup to
supply the home demand Os America, and
to save the seventyfve or one hundred
million dollar outlay for imported arti-
cles. / also saw d remark in the Florida
Dispatch, Farmer and Fruit Grower the
other day by a gentleman OF the Okee-
chobee Drainage Company that in a
short time there would be millions of
acres of the richest lands in America. il
not in the world, ready for sugar produc
ton. Well, now, here is noble pointer
Ii L i
ply-and not only this but something be-
yond to encourage the enterprise.
Now, | must contend, although | am
an abetter of all efforts to redeem Florida
swamp land, and would not put straw
across any mans ditch cut for that pur-
pose, that outside of swamps and prairies
we have all the land We need to raise
ten times the amount of sugar that the
United States can consume; yes, enough
for that purpose and all Others desirable
in the South.
"Oh," but says the Northern man, sit
won't do it to pay unless you fertilizer it. 2
Just so; and is this not the case with
thousands of acres in Louisiana and all
other sugar raising countries? And is it
not so with lands all over the Eastern
States on which paying crops of any kind
are raised? Indeed, lands are exceeding
ly scarce anywhere in America that will
not pay better by adding fertilizers, es-
pecially certain qualities to supply GER
tain deficiencies found in all soils
almost without an exception, and especi-
ally if diversified crops are desired.
Take the State of Florida as whole
and there is not an acre in it that will
not produce paying crops of sweet cane if
any of the cereals, garden truck or fruit
r .vow on it to pay, with or without
fertia IS.

colonies of razor-backs to cultivate it
with their cartilaginous plows at their
zation of natural products inures to q
good purpose i. e.: The stock owners
profit, but as some expense attaches to
the operation the question is who ought
to bear it, those who profit by it or 9th
ers? The others are mostly bearing it
now.
Suppose hefence matter is viewed from
the standpoint suggested by the case of
two brothers. who in this chronicle shall
be known as John and Edwin Brent.
The brothers were the joint owners of a
charming island in the lake region and
about $1 900 in cash.
John invested nearly the whole of his
share in ordinary stock cattle, and after
placing them upon the island, so little
care was required that he felt almost free
to follow other pursuits.
Edwin, having a taste for horticulture,
proceeded to plant a garden and set out
a grove, but instead of being at liberty to
devote his share of the capital to the pur-
chase OF seeds, trees fertilizers and impe-
ments, about one-third of the amount
had to be expended in building fences
Whil3 pursuing his labors Edwin ponder
ed over the matter and concluded the
plan did not agree with his ideas of equi-
ty and justice. re Therefore, proposed
that John bear at least a part of the
fence burden. John laughed at the idea,
and said that his cattle could get along
just as well without any fences and that
if they acquired a taste for Edwin's cab
bages, why it was none of his (John's)
lookout,
Edwin then asked his brother to dispose
OF his deer-like stock and procure some 5
better blooded stock which would only
thrive # kept up and cared for as in civil
lied countries. John said no; the present
arrangement suited him admirably, that
he owned half of the island and the laws
of Florida did not require him to restrain
CdUtl l0 pldC0u tu0I0OH IFOtll FOdIllHH else
where.
Edwin felt that ne was being unfairly
dealt with, and that the law afforded no
protection. AS a result the brothers had
a violent quarrel, and John added to his
stock lively bunch of razor-backs, which
Edwin proceeded to plant under his or
ange trees as fast as hecould catch them
The colony of razor-backs diminished in
number, yet sufficient escaped the hunter
to clean up the odds and ends OF Edwin's
industry left by the cattle.
Almost maddened at the result, and de-
spairing OF even a semblance OF fair deal
ing at the hands OF John Brent or the
laws of Florida Edwin, regardless of con
sequences, undertook to make the divid-
ing line between the tracts of the broth

The Fence Question John and Ed
win Brent"

The fence question will not down. First
one and then another takes the trouble
to inform the dear public that the cattle
interests within this State are SO vast
that they must and shall be protected,
no matter how and at whose expense
Even the gaunt razor-back finds an occa-
sional defender or apolOgist. Very well,
messeurs cattle and razOr-back defend
ers; the fates permit you to WELD the
power to-day, SO that reason and argu-
ment may be of little avail. Do you not,
however, sometimes hear a little bird
whisper that such state of things cam
not last always; that bye and bye, per-
haps at no distant day, the other fellows
will be on top and give you the showing
you deserve. Would it not be well to
meet your opponents half way and make
terms while there is yet time. Did you
ever stop to consider for whose benefit the
enormous fence outlay is incurred? Is
there any probability of your neighbours
orange tree, strawberry plant or tomato
hill biting your COW or soaring to death
the cherished razor-back Ii so, the owner
of said tree, plant or hill should be re-
quired to keep your stock from injury.
Suppose the case bereversed. What is the
logical sequence? All! you say the mat
ter is shown in wrong light-that the
vast unoccupied area OF Florida s wilder
ness, covered with grasses and herbage,
ought to be utilized; that the food boun-
teously provided by nature should inure
to some good purpose, therefore upon it
you pasture your cattle and encourage
