country since the red man forsook its
haunrs. To those who can endure this
stuff, there will be an abundant feast.
IL is more wholesome than the adulter-
ated kind human ingenuity offers to
our palate. Louisiana cane is being
disseminated pretty generally; it's pro-
duct is the true molasses for human
beings. We believe it pays to manu-
facture the sorghum syrup as food
product for horses, mules. cows and
hogs, utilizing it by pouring it over
their food. 1t would cost but little
more to keep il this way than to house
it. 1t would occupy less space, and be
less liable to damage. Its fattening
are unquestioned and it
would prove appetizing.
