What is an Emulsion?

Milk is a true Emulsion, and as milk or cream is
easier digest and assmilate than butter so is the
milk or cream of Cod-ver Oil easier to digest and
simulate than raw Oil This is why SCOTS Emulsion is
much useful and effective than the natural Oil ;
why it accompishes so much in arresting waste and
building up the body.
But it is much more than ordinary fat food 1t has
other constituents that have wonderful healing and
strengthening power and in addition add the Hypo-
phosphites (or Phosphorus) another most important
element in overcoming decreased vitality or loss of
flesh. These are the reasons why SCOTS Emulsion is
benefting to-day hundreds of thousands of consump-
tves and anemic persons we'll as being food and
remedy for sckly wasting children that is surprising

farmer not to store it. There is no de-
nying that the Swedish system can be
m ore properly practiced if ice is used,
than it IN be without it, this as rule.
With it's use there will never be any
trouble in getting all the cream between
milkings and in fact in much shorter
time than that limit-say three to five
hours And when vessel of very small
diameter, or width, is used, it cab even

the truth of this statement. fill glass

it in vessel con aiming water, and plen-
tv of ice broken fine. If the milk is
FRI m cow fresh in milk, you will be
very apt to see distinct cream line in
forty minutes and have all the cream to
the surface in less than double that
number of minutes This is an expert
ment that any one can easily make and
it will prove an educating one.

For THE FLORIDA AGRICULTURIsT
Why 2
Clinton, Iowa,

Why should not the majority rule ?
Why should not each voters voice be
heard on a topic of impor ance to all?
Why should a class of Industrious, we'll
meaning citizens of Florida be forced
into band of law breakers?
Ii there's no logical answer, then let
every farmer, every vegetable grower be
heard from in an appeal to our legisla-
ture, for common justice as free
American citizen, as against the burden
some raZorback.
The only men who want the law as it
now is, are of class who avail Them
selves of circum stances, no matter how
unjust.
The inter. st and repairs on fences
against hogs would grow and fatten more
meat from improved breeds of hogs in
twelve months, than the razorbacks of
this State produce in lwenty-four.
Time was when FlOrida-a vast wilder
ness-could tolerate such laws. That
time is past.
If our law makers cannot keep abreast
of the progress of civilization, all we can
do is to meet force with force-meet
tyranny with lawlessness meet loss
with loss; that is-that's all we can do
until we've a chance to select law max
ers from a class above the level of the
raZorback.
IT'S hard to touch on the subject
without saying mean livingston it's a
mean subject-but we do believe that
were the matter properly discussed
renef would come and come quickly.

Sorghum and Cane for Small Farmers.

Sorghum and Cane for Small Farmers.
We give the first part of a valuable
article prepared by Professor W. G.
SLubbs, of the Louisiana Experiment
station:
During the past year many letters
have reached this station asking infOr-
nation relative to sugar making on a
small scale from sugar cane and sorg-
hum. Information is also desired by the
syrup maker, how to cook syrup so as to
prevent granulation on the one hand
when too great density is reached, and
fermentation on the other when the
syrup is not cooked enough. To answer
all these questions is the object of this
article.
1t is proposed herein to give the sim
plest rudiments of sugar making for the
guidance of small farmers, who grow
only patches of sugar cane and make
sugar and molasses for home consump
tion or local use. To make refined
sugar upon an extensive profitable basis,
there are required many hundred acres

Covering Wounds.

The wounds made on growing plants
and trees should always be protected by
some application as soon as they become
dry enough for it to adhere we'll. Com
mon paint is better than neglect, but any
cement of the character of grating wax
is better. One of the best substances,
both for it's neatness and Its long adhe-
sion to the surface Of the wound, is the
Well-knOwn shellac varnish, consisting of
a strong solution of shellac in alcohol.
To prevent the neglect which 80 often
occurs, either because the owner Ibid
not think of it," or because he had
nothing of the kind at hand, it Is well to
have preparation made in time. Pro-
cure wide-mouthed bottle, and insert a
brush to be used in applying it, by max
ing the cork part of the handle. This
will prevent drying up, and it will be al
ways ready. Those who have time to
attend to it, may make the turpentine
and resin mixture, by using halfpound
each of resin and tallow melted together,
adding spoonful of turpentine when it is
cool, with two ounces Of alcohol and an
ounce of water, heating again and stir
ring rapidly. This is a good application,
but is not so delicate for fine plants as
the shellac. If it becomes too thick, add
alcohol.

of cane and a most costly sugar house,
consisting of ponderous mills or diffu-
sion plant, CHARTERS, tanks, filter presses,
multiple effects, vacuum pan, mixer,
centrifugals, sugar wagons, powerful
engines and enormous boilers. To make
sugar on the small scale about to be de-
scribed, there are required only horse
mill, evaporator and a few boxes capable
of holding cane juice-an outfit varying
IN cost from $50 to $500.
The first step towards sugar making is
the growing of the sugar cane or sOrg.
hum. The latter is planted from seed,
and up to date of the large number of
varieties used none have surpassed the
Links hybrid, a variety originated by
Mr.. Ephraim Link, of Greenville, Tenn.
This is plan ted either in the drill land
thinned when up to one stalk every four
inches) or dropped at intervals of eight
or ten inches, and two stalks let to each
hill. It's after cultivation is like that
given to corn. Sorghum should be cut
Just as soon as the seed are ripe. In
making sugar or syrup from sorghum it
should be treated as sugar cane, but it
should be born in mind that the juices
of the former are much more impure,
and therefore more difficult to granulate
and purge than those from the sugar
cane.
In planting the sugar cane one con-
tinuOus stalk (and two if the land be
very fertile) should be deposited in an
open turrow and securely covered. In
the fall this covering should be several
inches thick and the land should be well
drained. Early in the spring the extra
SOIL used in covering should be removed
in order to secure early termination, tor
the sooner the cane starts In the spring
the greater the maturity in the fall, and
therefore the richer in sugar. After the
germinat ton Of cane there is period of
apparent rest when the young sprout
undergoes multiplication several times
by "tillers' or ''suckers. This process
of "tillering' being over, the cane for
the season being favorable, grows with
great rapidity. During tillering the har-
row or pillow should be used only to stir
the soil, and with great care. When
growth ensues the work of cultivation
should be rapid and thorough, to be
completed by a clay by" when the cane
has reached size which will effectually
shade the ground and prevent the
growth of weeds or grass.

Minneapolis, Feb. 4.-Juror Dyer was
apparently as well as ever today when
the time came for resumption Of the
Hayward murder trial. y little diver
sion occurred at the opening of court,
when Mr.. Erwin arose and demanded
that the handouts be removed from
his client He contended that it was
not right to bring him into couEt thus.
1t developed that the deputies ma mis-
placed the key, and when it was pro-
duced and the bracelets removed the
trial went on.
Ex-Deputy Coroner Nippert resumed
the stand and was cross examined by
Mr.. Erwin. The morning was spent in
q technical recital of the condition in
which Miss Ging's body was found at
the autopsy.
The questioning OF the defense ap-
peared to be toward establishing that
Miss Cling died from the blows on her
skull which produced those fractures
and that the shot which penetrated her
skull, while necessarily OF a fatal char
acter, was fired to hasten the end OF
TO divert suspicion from the actual con
ditionS surrounding the crime. This
would tend to show that BIixt has
from the start, made false statements
The attorney for Blixt, whose point
of view since the case opened has been
exactly that of the state and who &C.
cupied a position in court handy to the
states attorney, made a statement
this afternoon that a dealer in green
goods would be placed on the stand as
witness for the state.

NEW BONDS.
ISSUE WILL BE AT LEAST ONE HUN.
DRIED MILLIONS.
They VIII BE Taken by a Syndicate
Composed of American .-,I For
eign Bankers--Facts viii Soon
Be Announced.

New York, Feb. 4.-The Press tomorrow
will say: On reliable authority the Press
is able to announce that the new bond
composed of American and foreign bank
ers. The issue will be at least 500 600
of the government tours, and may be
more. The delay is understood to be due
TO the exact figures at which they will
be sold.
The men who will underwrite the new
issue, according to the best information
of Wall street, are the Rothschilds, rep
resented here by August Belmont, j.
Plerrepont Morgan and several promin-
ent local tinanciers, who are heads of big
moneyed institutions in the city. Several
important factors have contributed into
bringing. local financiers into the deal.
In the first place, neither the Morgans
nor Belmont have much gold here, and
hence would have to draw on the banks,
SO that the latter would have to figure
next place, the Rothschilds, SO it is
stated, are just as anxious to have the
local moneyed men in the deal as the
latter are to be in themselves
Assistant Treasurer Jordan in discuss
ing the situation, had this to say:
Il do not expect Mr.. CurtisS will find
1t necessary to come to New York again.
judging from the inquiries we have re-
ceived, [ think there would be plenty of
demand for the bonds when once they
are ready to be issued"
The general conviction is that the loan
will be announced in very short time.
The Press also learns from trustworthy
sources that there will be an opportunity
given to the public to make bid on the
new bonds. Inside advices are that the
local fnanciers will take about $50, 900, 00C
Of the new loan and that the remainder
will go to foreign houses.

BALLOON SERVICE.
Another Airship to Be Constructed
at Fort Logan.


New York, Feb. A special dis
patch from Washington to a morning
paper says: The army is to have an
other balloon, and it is thought the
aerial engine of war will be constructed
in this country.
Captain Glassford. Of the signal
corps, who is stationed in Denver, has
recommended that material for bal
loon be purchased and that the con-
struction be done at Fort Logan,
where there is a company of expert
balloonists attached to the signal corps.
He estimates the cost of a balloon
made in this country at about $500, or
about one-third of the amount which
was paid to the French maker of the
balloon at present used in the service.
General McCook in command OF the
department Of Colorado, has approved
the recommendation, and 1t is likely
/ that General Greeley, the chief signal
officer, will instruct Glassford to pur-
chase the material needed. 1t has also
been decided to build gas plant at
Fort Logan, Colo, where gas stored
in iron cylinders will be prepared for
shipment to any point where balloon
may be located.
/ Captain Glassford, who may be called
! the balloonist of our army, is greatly
interested in this feature of the signal
corps He believes that there is great
deal in the subject and that at no dis
tant day those governments who spend
money for experiments, such as
France, will go into the matter more
/ deeply, following the line of Maxim
I Investigations.
! The balloon is of little value except
as a captive observation car. Its bulk
presents too large surface to the wind
to make II manageable for war pur-
poses. But as a means Of observation
it has proved of sufficient value to war
rant the construction of second bal
loon for use in the service. Expert
ments were made as far as possible
with the existing balloon, but with the
limited means at hand it is only posi-
bic to make few ascents at favorable
seasons, more as an instruction for the
men than to develop any theories OF
aerial navigation.

PusiIanimous Conduct of u Rich
mond Planter.
New York, Feb. A special. dis
patch to the World from Richmond,
Va, says:
Anderson Whitaker, an aged negro
of Scott county, was in slavery days
the property of Nathan Whitaker, Of
that county. AT the close of the war,
his master. an invalid, was reluctant
to relinquish his claims on the trusted
and faithful nurse, and so proposed to
Andrew that he remain with him in
voluntary service and he would be-
queath to him a house and lot and
other real estate. The negro agreed
and until August, 1898, when his mas
ter died, performed the same labors
that he had before the law freed him
He was then an old man.
When the will was read it appeared
that the only legacy left him was a
horse worth 800 The contract under
which the colored man had served the
best days of his life had never been
made in writing. The old negro
brought his grievance to Captain ].
Wood, a we'll known attorney, who I'M
dertook to enforce the terms of the
contract.
The circuit court of Scott county at
it's last term threw the case out on
technical grounds and now the SUI
preme court Of the state is asked to
allow the eX-slave remuneration for
his long service in self-imposed
slavery
