Mr. ZENTz's ENTERrEIsE.-We haYc pald
visit to Mr. Xen,z Sorghum Factory at
| his place about three miles north of town
and have, in more ways than one been wei
! repaid for the time thus occupied. In the
1 first place our eyes were greeted with I'll,
unusual sight of more than a hali-lo2"n very
busy men, all engaged under one manage.
mcnt again, we found a large and complete
| plant, Il neN industry, at work manul'rtur
ingan allicica rs staple as wheat and assUrcdly
more profitable rs a product. Further, We
! Gnl that in spite Of thc conservatism of our
people, il sufficient number Of growers have
been induced to plant this, The first year, 10

/ farm product having been most satisfactory

season AL conspircd TO render the return
! this wear far below what may be cXprCtc |!
| once a more thorough acquaintance with The
CROP its requirements and advantages, has
! been acquired.
! Mr.. ZcniA's plant consists ola steam engine
and powerful crushcr that extracts the
juice from the stalk, a filter, Il tank in which
the Juice is rcctticd, that is, has the acid
ncutraliZed before admission to the boiling
process and lastly the big eyaporatnG pan
! which the juice of the cane enters at one end
! and passes out Il rich, heavy mo!aSses at the
! other end.
| 4 regular and intense heat is maintained
under this pan and by frequent tests the
| specific gravity of the finished syrup is kept
at single standard. Great care is taken to
remove everything i'll the character OF i'm
purity that rises to the suriace ana This keeps
two men very busy.
The capacity of Mr., Zentz's plant is 200
gallons of syrup per day, as we understand
it, of "a hours, as in the busy season the fire
VIII be kept up continuously and relays OF
men VIII be required to run it.
Nj Zrn,z PRESENTED us with a splendid
measure OF his finished produce and we are
bound to say that 1t is all that he lays claim
| for it to be- Ia the first place, we know
| that it is clean and pure, not IN inconsdera.
! bic thing in the matter of something intended
to he eaten IN the next place il is rich, laden
with sugar and pleasing to the taste: rs
to the latter, as tastes differ, some will like
Others dislike the taste of it but Ofonc thing
we are assured, and by experience it is TINS
that those who may not be especially fond OF
IT at first will rapidly learn to like 1t, For
| baking purposes, ginger cakes, ginger bread
and tnliy, it is uneXccllcd. Our merchants
| should unqurstonably secure the sale Of it
! il costs more than the cheaper gradosot syrup
! but it is worth more, even price cohsluercd,
/ in our Judgment. We hope and really believe
