The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1890-11-05


Through the courtesy Of DR.. B. f. Fox,
we had the pleasure OF visiting his new
mandatory, and OF inspecting the oper
alton of extracting the Juice from pal
metto berries and preparing it for
market. The doctor was engaged in the
business about fifteen years ago, but did
not continueit long. Herecently effected
arrangements with firm Of pharmacists
in New York, and has ready eale for all
he is able to prepare. The berries are
obtained on the peninsula from the saw
palmetto which grows there in great
abundance, the best being found on the
side towards the ocean. They are about
the size OF hickory nuts, somewhat egg
shaped and have black, tough, smooth
skin and yellowish pulp. +.
Two persons only are at present en-
gagged in picking and three in the process
OF extracting. The berries are pressed in
an ordinary screw press as thoroughly as
possible. The pulp is then removed,
ground, and pressed again. The ex
pressed juice is then placed in deep pans
to stand for twenty-four hours, as that
length of time is required for the oil it
contains to rise to the surface. This oil
is blown off instead of being skinned, it
being so nearly of the same specific gravi-
ty as the juice OF the berry that the least
agitation causes the two to quickly re-
unite. The juice is subjected to some
what rapid evaporation over a fire, until
reduced to thick syrup, when it is plac-
ed in sealed gallon cans ready for ship
ment. The oil that's blown off, being by
the process imperfectly separated from
the juice, is placed in a large glass funnel
closed at the lower end by stopper, and
allowed to remain undisturbed until the
oil has again risen to the surface. when
the stopper is loosened and the juice per-
mitted to run off slowly. 1t is then
closed in time to retain the oil, which is
also placed in sealed gallon cans. The
present capacity of the works is from five
to ten bushels OF berries per day; but the
Doctor intends to largely increase it by
another season. 1t requires about three
bushels OF berries to produce one gallon
OF the syrup and about two gills OF the
oil.
The saw palmetto will come into more
general notice before many years, and
will then be recognized as a particularly
valuable plant. The berries have for
some time past been known to have
valuable medical properties, and have
been used to prepare the fluid extract of
saw palmetto, pharmical preparation,
but not patent medicine. 1t is an ex-
cellent substitute for cod liver oil, and

The Labor Conference in Berlin.

| It appears 70 be the general opinion in
| Europe that the internati0aal labor con-
/ grsss, at present in session in Berlin, will
/ acc IN plish nothing practical, bas i, is adj
mitted that it may lead 70 something that
will be OF practical benefit to the labo-ing
classes. The fac, tla. there is such a con-
fsrelcs is a greater concession to tlOss
classes than has ever before bsen male, and
it is al admission that they have grieya noes
that demand attention from those who
make the laws.
This conference is in harmony with what
appears TO be the new policy of the Em-
peror of Germany in dealing with labor
troubles. Tnis new policy was opposed by
Bismarck, al is no5 regarded with favor
by other EI-oPeln governments. 1t is prob
able that in the adoption Of it the emperor
was not guided wholly by motives of human
ity. At the last election the socialists
cast million and half of votes, and they
have enough members of the Reichstag to
give them great power in that body. It
may be, therefore, that the emperor
was influenced to some extent in his course
in this matter by the belief that it would be
wiser to see il something could not be done
to pacify the laboring masses tn an to ignore
them and to attempt to hold them in sub
lection by force
There is no doubt that the laboring masses
have grievances, nor is there any doubt that
they are beginning to understand no great
the power is which their labor organizations
give them. If some attention is not paid to
them, therefore, they may be tempt
ed to use their power in way
that will be extremely danger
GUS to thrones. Not alone in Germany
is the feeling of unrest among the laborin g
masses noticeable. There have been strikes
recently in England of immense proper
tions which have inflicted great damage
upon commerce, and in other countries the
signs OF dissatisfaction among those who
work in the mines and the mills are all the
time cropping out.
1t will not do to say, therefore. that the
policy Of the emperor of Germany is I'M
wise, and tlat it will be productive of
trouble for him. If he consents to give his
people larger liberty and seeks to improve
their material condition he may avert
trouble rather than precipitate it.

The Great southern Metropolis.


Hon. Abram Hewitt, in an interesting
talk With a representative OF the MORNING
News, expressed the opinion at Savannah
is certain 20 become tina chief city Of the
south. Mr.. Hewitt Is a conservative man,
who does not say things simply for the pur-
pose # pleasing those in WHOSE company he
may be for the time being He says what
be believes, and his opinions are valuable,
because they are based upon information
and observation In saying what he did
about Savannah he was not influenced in
the least by personal considerations, be
cause he has nOinterests in this city. In
de5d he has never before been here, and,
although he hal heard a great deal about
Georgia's great seaport, he was not pre-
pared to see such a large and thriving city,
and one that promised Sd much for the
future.
Mr.. Hewitt had not been many hours in
Savannah. however, before he saw enough
to convince him that she had posi-
bilities possessed by no osher southern city
A glance at the map, and a. her railroad
with their far-reaching connections, having
vast region of COUNTRY rich in agricultural
and mineral productions tributary to them,
convinced him that it was safe TO predict
that she was destined 10 be the greatest
Of the southern cities.
Mr.. Hewitt saw, even before the war of
secession, that the south had a splendid
future. In a speech in 1856 he said that
Alabama had enough iron to supply the
world for 500 years, and he remarked the
n har.f n hot I'm nd he
judgment at that time, and invested a few
thousand dollars in Alabama iron and coal
lands he would now be many times q mill
ionaire. What could have been purchased
for an Insignificant sum thea is worth
millions of dollars now
Mr.. Inman and Mr.. Calhoun both spoke
of the wonderful increase in the business Of
the railroad and steamship lines which their
companies control, and Mr.. Calhoun said
that the railroad lines were to be improved
at the expense of many hundreds of thou
sands of dollars to enable them to meet the
demands upon them. 1t will not be long
before the great western states will be ex-
porting and importing through Savannah,
and the Central Railroad Company and the
Ocean Steamship Company will have to
still further increase their capacity for hand
ling the business that will be offered them.
The MORNING NEWS, day or two ago,
called attention to the rapid increase of the
business which the Plant system is bringing
to this city, and particularly mentioned the
possibility of Savannah becoming the port
from which the vast deposits of Florida
phosphates would be shipped abroad. i
would not be surprising if the demand for
tonnage for the shipment of phosphates
would be within a few years greater than
that for the shipment of cotton.
Those who are showing their confidence in
Savannah by investing in her real estate
and erecting buildings are not acting
blindly. They see that there is to be great
commercial city on the South Atlantic
coast, and that Savannah is to be that city.

Lodges Bill and the Surplus.

Repre- entative Lolgs's bill, providing
for federal control of elections, wo aid take
a good many millions of dollars out of the
treasury, and it woul1 need an immense
army Of oifice-holders to enforce it. Mr.
Carlisle has made a calculation which
shows that to carry out its provisions
would require 900 officers aad an ex-
penditure every two years of from
S10,0O0,0O0 to S15,0000O0.
Ia fra ming his bill Mr.. Lodge had not,
of course, any intention of reducing the
surplus, but from Mr.. Carlsle's fl lures it is
apparent that it woull make a big hole in
the treasury. The number of officials to
whomit would furnish employment for a
number of days each year would be suffi-
cient in a close contest to decide the election.
On that account, as well as others, it is a
measure thai is full of danger
Doubtless Mr.. Lodge expects it to operate
only in certain parts of the country. The
whole influence of the Republican party
would be used to make it operative in those
parts. It is aimed at the south. The Re-
publican party will never be satisfied until
it gets the returning boards esta 5lished in
ouo s)uuu aSaiu. 10 Is Il SreaO plOy JnaJ Cle
leaders of that party cannot let the south
alone.
The Lodge bill would be productive Of all
kinds of irregularities and the source of in
Vulnerable contests. Therepublcans think,
doubtless, that they would have no trouble
in settling such things. They certainly
wouldn't if they had the necessary majority,
or if thew had a sneaker like Mr. Read who
would count a majority.

Tammany,s Rotten Branches.

The Tamnany Society of New York
will make a great mistake if it does not
promptly cut off its rotten branches. To
retain these would bring the whole organi-
cation into disrepute Mr.. Richard Croker,
who lately resigned the position of chief
director of Tammany, favored the policy of
getting rid of all members who showed
themselves unworthy of respect and conf
dence. When Sheriff Flacks wrong-doing
was exposed he advised the dismissal of
that official from the society at oace.
MIR. Gllroy, who is the present head of
Tammany, seems TO favor different policy.
1t is understood that he thinks that Tam
many ought to stand by Flack in his
trouble, and ought to give the
half dozsn or more deputy sheriffs who
have been indicted for corrupt practices
in office its sympathy and support If Mr..
Gilroy's policy is adopted Tammany will
soon Lore its standing and influence Men
of ability and character will desert it.
Honest men will not consent to associate
with those who have no regard for their
regulations. 1t will be said that Tammany
is being used to put in Office and keep
there corrupt men. 1t is mistake to over
look wro g-doing, and Tammany will find
that it is il she does not promptly expel
| those of its members who are shown to have
accepted brides and practiced extortion.

Prom the HousekeeDer.
What silence we keep year after year
With those who are most near 10 us and dear:
We live beside each other day by day,
And speak OF myriad things, but ssluOm say
The full sweet word that lies Just in our reach,
Beneath the commonplace of common speech.
Then out of sight and cut of reach they go
These close familiar friends who loved us so.
And sitting in the shadow they have left,
Alone with loneliness and sore bereft,
We think, with vain regret of some fond word
That once We might have said and they have
heard
For weak and poor the love that we expressed
Now seems, beside the vast sweet unconfessed;
And slight the deeds we did 10 those undone.
And small the service spent to treasure won,
And undeserved the praise for word and deed
That should have OVERT owed the simple need.
This is the cruel cross of life TO be
ull viSioned only when the ministry
or death has been fulfilled, and in the place
" some dear presence is but emp space.
What recollected ervices can then
Give consolation for the 'migat have been?

The Boston Advertiser suggests a new
word. 1t says: THE verb to blair will
come to mean to produce a destructive,
suicidal, or lethal effect, but it will have an
advantage over other words in that it will
stand il the public mind for particular
and peculiar way in which dire results are
wrought. The expression to blair cause
will mean to make it so obnoxious to those
who would naturally favor it by mediocre
self-willed. everlasting, petulant, hobby
riding, non-observant, and essentially vain
and egotistical advocacy as to make a good
proposition seem poor one, and bring GER
tain defeat out of what might otherwise
have proved an easy victory" 1t begins to
look as if there were still chance for Mr..
Blair to become worthy Of having it stated
on his tombstone that he did not live in
vain.
