There is an impression in America that

How to Make Syrup.

[ want to make an inquiry or two.
First WiIrsOme intelligent farmer-or a
dozen of them-who can speak from ex-
pc fence, give the best method of max
ing syrup from sugar cane-not sorghum.
| have spent some time in Florida on
several occasions, and was much pleased
with the quality of the syrup made by
some of the farmers. Sometimes it was
a poor, sloppy article, but often [
thought it much superior to the best
New Orleans molasses. Let a number
of cane growers, who have made sue
cess of syrup, give their methods of
manufacture and will doubtless prove
of interest to many of your readers be-
sides the writer of this.
Is there not some way of ascertain
ing the density OF the syrup, while cook
ing, so as to stop boiling at the right
time? Is their any way of retaining
the delightful! flavor it has when new?
Has anyone tried sealing it up in air
tight cans when fresh?
Another point: | wish to suggest to
your contributors, that when giving
their experience in any line they give
their exact locality. Let them give
their county and it will make their state
ment more satisfactory. That reminds
me that some time back you copied a
statement from a Texas paper, touching
the success of the Oonshin orange. [
was much interested in that article, but
would have been more so, if had known
the writer's latitude. [ should like to
know if his experience is applicable to
this latitude. HI. Z. H.

P. S. Can any reader of the AGRICUL-

good, honest, reliable sugar maker in
the maple sugar regions of the Northern
States? HI.
We hope some of our cane growers
will comply with the request of H. T.
H., and give their method of making
Florida syrup. We would suggest that
Mr. j. H. Chandler, of DeLand, who
has established a wide and enviable
reputation for his syrup, would be the

Yesterday afternoon Judge Harrison
issued warrants for the arrest of seven
parties for stealing fruit from Lieutenant
Hanus' orange grove near Ballast Point.
This grove is in charge of Joseph Robes
and he will push the cases. Mr.. Robes
estimates the loss bv theft from the
grove at about fifty boxes so far this
season. The State Commissioners who
recently revised the statutes, raised the
theft of fruit or other farm products from
the rank of misdemeanor to a felony,
and petty thieves should take warning
and mend their ways.-Tampa Times.

used as much as from 800 to 500 lbs. of
kainlt to the acre in compost.
The Station SOIL unusually poor, was
selected because OF it's sterility to test the
value OF the different manures and while
for causes above stated the experiment
was a failure in this respect, and also as
to quantity, for the same reasons, still
by reason of these manures, it produced
the very best tobacco, so far as texture
and quality were concerned. 1t will be
further observed to what an extent iron
enters into decomposition of the plant,
thus indicating that as oursoils are large
ly deficient in lime, iron and salt, the lat
ter, from which clOrine is obtained, thatier-
tilizers, such as common lime, copperas,
which is sulphate of iron, should be used,
phate Of potash, which supplies the needed
potash, will furnish also, so far as kainit
is concerned, a good source from which
the common salt can be supplied. These
analyses are given in the hope that the
intelligent farmer will use them to much
benefit in the production of his crop.
In his con nectiOn it may be as we'll to
state that
HOG PEN MANURE
has also been CONDEMNED because, tits said,
it imparts the unpleasant odDr of the
skunk to the segar. The past season
hog pen, used as such for over two years,
was planted, and acrop sufficiently large,
though small, was made to test the truth
of this statement. No such OdOr has
been observed. But this fact has been
demonstrated, viz: that the hog pen
tobacco grew rapidly and large, and the
tobacco made in it was of the best quail
ty, the segar made from it having a rich
Havana flavor and in every way salts

the least OF it, good manure for tobacco.

experimental station, containing the
subject of tobacco culture in Florida,
gives analysis of Florida and Cuba soils
and Cuba tobacco and says:
The soils OF which the following analy-

The tobacco analysis was of tobacco
that had ripened on the Cuba soil.

lNDUCTIONS.
The careful reader will note very wide
difference between these soils.
Those who have considered lime lands
as unfit for tobacco will be surprised to
find SO large a percentage of lime in Cuba
land as well as in the tobacco. After so
widespread a condemnation of such fer
tiIizers as kainit, which contains q large
percentage of salt, he will be impressed
by the analyses that our soil very gener-
ally will be benefited by the proper use
of it. The station has used kainit and
sulphate of potash on tobacco during
four years with marked benefit. We have
