RESULTS OF THE STORM.

The storm of last Thursday, was a very severe one. The wind blew down trees, shook the apples off, and leveled the corn and tobacco. It is said Francis Bissell's tobacco, the only piece in these parts, was damaged to the amount of $500. He has raised the weed only two years, and has last years crop on hand. The very hot weather since has started the grass wonderfully, giving promise of a bountiful supply of fall feed.

syrup, for the reason that large
quality of the sugar is not crystalized.
Any part of Florida will produce good
cane for syrup; all the pine lands are we'll
adapted to this plant and the juice is
very pure and clean. Right here [
might suggest that our farmers could
easily establish central syrup factory,
owned and run by themselves, furnished
with small steam mill and good
evaporation; no farmer has the least con-
ception of the enormous quantity ofjuice
he leaves in the cane when ground by
horse power; it is no exaggeration to say
that he leaves nearly half the juice in
the stalk if he could see his refuse or
"B gasse" put through a good mill, it
Guild cause much surprise.

seed thus far has been practically mac
cessible to the mills. High prices for
the seed will induce farmers to haul it
longer distances to market, and the in
creasiDg number of the mills will also
tend to it's fuller consumption. The
better appreciation of the value of the
various products of the seed and the
adaptation of them to new purposes will
likewise tend to continually increas-
ing demand for the seed.
Since the value of the bulls as feed
for cattle and sheep has come to be APP
preciated, it may be said that there is
absolutely no waste to the cotton seed
that passes through the oil mills. The
bulls are in active demand at So per ton,
but they are consumed by the mills to a
considerable extent, not for fuel as for
merly, but for the fattening of cattle
kept near the mills. All the products of
the seed are now regarded as food for
man or beast, and they are all used for
such purposes except the meal that is
used for fertilizer, and much of that
goes to promote the growth of food
crops.
The high prices that are being paid
for cotton and cotton seed this season
will encourage the Southern farmers to
plant larger crop, probably, than they
ever planted before, and that will be
very apt to result in over-production,
in which case the benefits will be en-
joyed principally by consumers Of cotton
and it's by products. Times Union.

Tomatoes All Right.

A Winter Haven correspondent of the
Polk County News, writes as follows
Winter Haven and Florence, situated
in the great vegetable growing section
of Polk county, comes with greetings
this week. The two thousand acres Of
early vegetables planted in this section
are presenting better showing at this
date than any previous year. The past
cold weather has left no discourage
ments or disappointments among our
growers, and tomatoes this season will
still reign king. The estimate made of
the present crop, compared to the acre
age of the past two seasons, producing
the same yield, will net the growers of
this favored section the neat sum in
cash of two hundred thousand dollars.
Can any other section in Polk offer a
better showing, if so let us hear from them.
Phenomenal as it may seem the growing
plants in the lake regions show no signs
ofthe murcury having made any changes
orang trees are out in full bloom in
many groves, guavas and peaches are
already formed, pines are looking finer
than ever before during this month
February.

A Foolish Fence Law.

AS the time is near at hand when the
honorable legislature of the State OF Flor
ida will again be in session, will you
kindly permit me, through your excel
lent journal, to call it's attention to one
of the most absurd laws now in force,
and suggest that it lose no time in re-
pealing it?
| refer to the law which provides pen
atty for the person who builds barbed
wire fence without tOppingi with board
or rail. The writer came from the east
ern portion of Iowa, where valuable tim
Der for fencing, with the exception OF
pine, is much more plentiful than in any
portion Of Florida / have yet seen; still
there are hundreds OF miles of barbed
wire fencing already erected, and no one
thinks of the precautionary board or
rail. OF course, occasionally an animal
gets scratched, but stock soon learn to
treat it with respect, and the day OF
breachy cattle, horses or swine there is
past, and the damage to stOckln Florida
in ten years would not amount to any
thing like what every farmer in West
Florida is exposed to every year by the
forest fires thatconsume every thlng made
OF wood. Then, in the matter OF economy
OF construction, there is hardly farmer
in West Florida but what would find his
posts already standing in the shape ofthe
young pine trees SO abundant eVerywhere'
To be sure, fire would do some damage
even TO a barbed wire fence, but nOtnearly

boards or rails.
For the promotion of advanced iarm'

hopes that the editor OF the AGRNULT-
UR1sT will see the wisdom OF the repeal Oh
the silly law, and add it's voice for the re-
neal in such tones that the solons W,

A Boom in Cotton Seed.

Adjudication of the industrial progress
of the South is found in the Manufacture
ers' Record in the establishment ola new
department devoted to the indu stries
dependent upon cotton seed. The rapid
ity with which the industries of this class
have grown into immense proportions is
in some respects more remarkable than
the sudden rise OF the industries grow
ing out of the discovery and utilization
of the natural deposits of iron, coal and
phosphate in the South. All these till
within recent years were merely latent
sources of wealth lying idle until a new
spirit of enterprise should call them
into activity to aid in the upbuilding of
the "neW South" But there is this eV-
ident distinction, that the mineral de-
posts though neglected were not wasted,
while of cotton seed there was prodig-
ious waste, such as might be compare d
to the destruction OF every tenth bale
Of cotton.
The present season is one o. unexam-
pied demand and high prices in the cot
ton seed market. Last summer the
seed sold at 81 per ton, and even less
than that in some localities. Now it is
selling at more than three times that
price, and in some sections it is said 10
command $25 per ton. This seems an
almost incredible advance. The man
utactured products necessarily have to
be sold at much higher prices than be-
fore, and the fact that they can be sold
at such prices shows how urgent the de-
mand for Them has become.
1t should be considered, however,
that the present conditions of supply
and demand are rather exec ptional
The last cotton crop proves to be little
more than two-thirds of the last pre-
ceding crop, and the crop of seed is per-
haps proportionately Still smaller. On
the other hand there is a scarcity of
lard, and q consequently greater demand
for cotton seed oil for the manufacture
of the popular substitute.
If the cotton planters could count
with confidence on getting $40 per ton
for cotton seed it would prove a power
full stimulus to production. An eight
million bale crop yields four million tons
of seed. Deducting million tons for
planting there remain three tons for
sale, which at 500 per ton, would bring
$60,000,0OO. Thus far the consumption
of seed by the mills has not exceeded
half the surplus product. But it is to
be remembered that large portion Ofthe

Making Syrup.
In reply to inquiry in your paper of
the 16th-"How to Make Syrup" L
might say something about syrup max
ing that would benefit "H. 7. H."
First: GLOW to make syrup from
sngar cane? :" This is a very simple
process, and almost a child could carry
if ont with great success. The juice is
extracted (by the small farmer) by two
or three small rollers, set upon a frame,
the power furnished by horses, and the
stalks of cane placed between the mill
nv hand, and the juice caught IN tank,
of any sort or size. The next process
ia. of course, the reduction Of the JUICE
to syrup; for this one or two iron ket-
files. set In a furnace are used as eVap-
orators. There are various forms OF
open evaporators, the kettle being the
most primitive, but quite as good as any
thing for the small farmer. In this
evaporator the syrup is boiled down
to I: the proper consistency, little
lime having been added in the form OF
paste, :and the impurities skinned OIL
with a dipper, or something of the sort;
the proper density can be determlnedby
use of any kind Q" spindle, FOR "saccho-
rometer," for this purpose a Beaume
spindle is used, graduated between 3O0
(degrees) and 900. After boiling for
while. the syrup may be tested, by tax
ing small quantity of itand placing ltln
a lar sufficiently longto allow the spindle
to float; ''salt mouth" bottle or special

Syrup can be best kept in sealed cans
or lars, being put into the vessel when
warm, and Theoretically sealed, and
kept in cold place.
ANY farmer can make good syrup
with but little trouble and expense;
good article is getting very scarce ana
commands a paying price; this scarcity
is due to the improvements on our sugar
houses, whereby greater quantity OF
sugar is obtained, at the expense OF
the quality of the syrup, or properly
speaking, "molasses. In a sugar

Rendered by Secretary Noble Re-
garding Northwest Lands.
WASHINGTON. March 4. = Secretary
Noble hes rendered an important de-
cision in the case of A. III. Dalton OF
the Bozeman. Mon, land district
against the Northern Pacific, which
overrules the celebrated Guilford Miller
decision in one important particular.
The Miller decision held that lands
within the Yakima Indian reservation
were not excepted from the grant
to the Northern Pacific, and that
when the Indian title to such lands
became extinguished the right there
to would inure to the railway COM
pany under its grant. Thisdecision, in-
volving a portion of the Crow reserva-
tion, holds in effect that the lands in
cluded within technical Indian reser-
walton at the date on which the grant
becomes effective, are absolutely en-
cepted from the grant, and in the event
of the extinction of the Indian title they
revert to the public domain. The COM
missioner's decision holding Dalton's
homestead entry for cancellation for the
reason that the lands covered by 1t
passed to the Northern Pacific under its
grant, is accordingly reversed. Thisde-
cision directly affects large tracts of
land in Montana, the Dasotas, Idaho
and Washil gtJn.
