And the snowflakes drifted near and
far,
Till the land was Whitley fieeced,
And the lighthouse lamp, golden star,
Flamed over the waves white yeast.
In the room at the foot of the light
house
Lay mother and babe asleep.
And little maid Gretchen was by them
there.
A resolute watch to keep.
There were only the three on the light
house isle,
For father had trimmed the lamp,
And set it burning weary while
In the mornings dusk and damp.
Long before night III be back" he
said.
And his white sail slipped away;
Away and away to the mainland sped,
And it came not home that day.
The mother stirred on her pillows
space,
And moaned in pain and fear.
Then looked in her little daughters
face
Through the blur of startling tear.
Darling she whispered, sits piercing
cold,
And the tempest is rough and wild;
And you are no laddie strong and bold,
Ny poor little maiden child.
But up aloft there's the lamp to feed,
Or its fame will die in the dark,
And the sailor lose in his utmost need
The light Of our isIet's ark"

time:
Why, mother. I'm twelve years old,
And steady, and never afraid to climb
And I've learned to do as I'm told.
Then Gretchen up to the top Of the
tower,
Up the icy, smooth-worn stair,
Went slowly and surely that very hour
The sleet in her eyes and hair.
She fed the lamp and she trimmed i
we'll.
And its clear light glowed afar.
To warn Of reefs and Of rocks to tell
The mariners guiding star.
And once again when the world awok
In the dawn Of a bright new day.
There was joy in the hearts of the fish

Along the stormy bay.
When the little boats came sailing i
All safe and sound to the land,
To the haven the light had helped thei

Excited Over Sugar.

Excited Over Sugar.
An article from your scribe appear
ed in the July 7th issue, at the
close of which you add, eff the writer
wants to start an excitement over
cane growing, let some practical
farmers show that they are making
money out of it and the excitement
will grow
Now as to this matter whether such
will do SO or not and will do so, is a
different question. That quite a
number in various localities who will
likely never do so, could do it, is not
reasonably to be doubted. Many such
never write for the public; some, be-
cause they cans easily write an arti-
Gle in passable or creditable shape,
and others because they care nothing
about the matter further than their
own individual concern goes.
AS your scribe has little infOrma-
ton accidentally collected along that
line, that ought to carry some weight,
he will say to your readers that one
small farmer in this locality stated in
his presence year ago that he kept
an account of the receipts for his
syrup from one acre and it figured
one hundred and twenty-five dollars;
while another, in an adjoining To-
cality has been realizing this amount
and more per acre for upwards of the
past five years. This last puts his
syrup up in tin cans fresh from the
evaporating pans, and corks it air
tight, never failing to sell before the
next grinding season, at forty cents
per gallon. Good syrup so put up con-
tinues fresh for any length of time
as there is no possibility of deterior-
alton by fermentation. For family
use, glass bottles or small glass jars
filled and stopped air tight are better,
as one bottle at time only is expos
ed to the air, and Immediately used
up.
[ know a third person who has his
on the market in cans; at fifty cents
per gallon, and, believe, claims it to
be a superior quality. All of these
parties, claim upwards of one hun
dred dollars per acre.
A fourth case I present is a farm
er on the head waters of Peace
Creek, who never writes reports of
anything, and yet he manufactured
from the canes of one acre thirty
barrels of fine syrup, a few years ago
Let the reader figure on this-nine
hundred gallons, at forty cents per
gallon-and he finds the nice little
sum of three hundred and sixty dol
lars, minus the waste in ordinary
milling-one fourth, at least. A fifth
grower, about eight miles southwest
of my place, in the fiat woods manu-

factured fine lot of sugar, two hum
dred pounds to the barrel, from a
fraction over one quarter of an acre,
with two roller mill and small
pony to pull it. And he lost more
than one fourth of his crop no doubt.
This man never writes anything, not
even letters to friends.
AS you assume in your foot note,
there is but little doubt that syrup
manufacture, as it costs less to con-
vert it into syrup than sugar, is more
profitable than sugar. Sugar cannot
be preserved for any great length of
time from insects unless very tightly
inclosed; and when exposed is always
evapora ting or shrinking in one way
or another.
will say as to the quality of syrup,
that there is a certain kind of land
| in South Florida that makes the finest
syrup ever put to human lips. This
land is swamp land, with growths Of
live oak and cabbage palmetto, some
times interspersed with hickory of
the old black jack variety and Of
course with more or less saw palmet-
to and other plants. The syrup made
on this land is wisely put into north
ern markets in it's pure state, should
command one dollar per gallon. There
is no variety of honey made in the
State, if on earth, that will compare
with it. If man turns up to his
mouth ordinary syrups to drink them,
few swallows are all he can bear;
but of this quality, man that loves
sweets could turn off pint, and
call it.
But a few notes as to the qualities
of lands and the certainty of the crop
will not be amiss here. AS before stat
ed by myself and others, all qualities
of soil in Florida and especially South
Florida, that will grow healthy pine
trees, will grow sugar cane success
fully. Much of it, may need drainage
and fertilizatio more or less, but will
need less irrigation if the top soil is
often stirred, than almost any crop.
The soil and climatic conditions of
South Florida, it may be safely as
sured, were mixed up by the manipu-
lations of natures laboratory, with a
special view to superior quality of
sweet cane, as we'll as the finest fla
vored quality of oranges in the world.
Good lands in abundance and cheap
ness-pine, hammock and muck-can
can be found in every county. 1
heard yesterday of as much as one
thousand or upwards of the finest
quality of saw grass lands spoken of
on Lake Hancock, northwest of Bar
tow, with hundreds if not thousands
of acres of first class pine land,
which could be bought almost for

and avocates nitrogen fixing plants,
occupying the ground during that
season, to be plowed under in the
spring. On this point he says:
Over the earth the value of clover
in keeping up the fertility of the soils
in orchard and garden was well un-
derstood long prior to the discovery
of scientists that it's root nodules de-
veloped nitrogen in the soil and rem
dered other essentials to perfect plant
growth available. More recently in
the fruit growing centers of Europe
and Asia other legumes, such as the
common pea, the cow pea, the lupines
and the vetches, were found quite as
valuable as the clover as nitrogen
manufacturers, the better fitted for
growth among fruit trees, especially
in countries where summer culture
is essential.
In South France, Italy and Florida
could be found with perfect foliage
and crop of perfect fruit, which have
for ten or more years had a crop of
peas, lupines of vetches turned under
each year.
A good illustra tion in Southern Cal
ifornia is found in the orchard of [.
Ford of Redlands. For two springs
in succession, he has turned under
heavy crops of peas. In addition he
has put on some wood ashes. Visitors
will find the foliae of his trees pecu-
liarly dark and uniform in color, and
will hear the story that the heavy
crop of naval oranges was uniform in
size, dark colored, heavy and free
from cracks or roughened skin.
This effect on the foliage, heavy
bearing and grade of fruit has been
reported many times in Europe and
America, not only with citrus fruits,
but with all the deciduous ones.
The humus from the turned under
crop, together with the nitric acid
developed, seems to be the one thing
needful for perfect fruits, especially
when supplemented with wood ashes.
Among the other gains of the win
ter covering of the soil with legumes
may be enumerated the lessened wash
of the soil by winter rains; the les
sened evaporation; the more perfect
rest of the trees in winter and later
'blossoming; increased certainty that
the fruit will not drop; the annual
crop of humus turned under will put
the soil in better mechanical condt-
ton, enabling it to hold water better.

song, which a little drainage would
put into first class condition for cane,
as cattle can now feed all over the
marsh.
Near where I live, on the great
Crook lake Through which two rail
roads are to run at right angles some
day., I am desirous of telling your
readers that the crop is one of the
quickest and certainly the surest in
the State. No disease or insects have
ever been known in my recollection,
for forty years in Florida. And it is
one of the very simplest and easiest
of cultivation of all crops, and if the
seed are good and the covering shall
low, it never fails in thick stand
which is a cardinal feature in cane
production. Let no man, however,
be scared out of his wits by what Mr..
f. Y. Blackman says in the Florida
Citizen, in writing about the superb
ority of the locality and lands south
of Palm Beach, when he throws over
the came interest further north by
saying: "Further north, owing to
danger of frosts the cane is often cut
before maturity, thus lessening the
amount of saccharine matter and low
er the quality of the syrup" This re-
mark is very nicely accommodated to
a purpose. Many miles both north
and west of Palm Beach, cane will
mature up to it's best. This [ know,
and if cane producers will adopt the
plan of large number of farmers in
Louisiana-plant their crops in Octo-
Der and November will fully ma
ture everywhere in the State in ample
time to manufacture the crop into
syrup long before any freeze would
ever interfere.
Besides the profits in sugar and
syrup, the sale of good canes for
chewing purposes, is bound to in
crease in quantity and profits. Moth
ing is healthier and better as a tonic
than cane juice extracted by chew
ing, and it has the grandest charm
about it on earth for children and
all grown persons, (who soon learn
to love it, as long as their teeth last.
No family should be minus a cane
patch or farm. How it always quiets
quarreling, scratching and biting
among children to give them jack
knives and turn them loose in the
cane patch or the mill road. 1t is re-
markable. And, oh, what relief to
tired mothers!
'Come South young man, and plant
cane" Truly for cane,
S. w Carson.
