Possibilities of Sugar Culture.

years was manager of the DiStOn
sugar plantations at ST. Cloud, con-
tributes the following to the Florida
Citizen:
Much has been said and printed re-
Gently about Florida's opportunity
to engage in tobacco growing, owing
to the conditions in Cuba and the de-
mand for cigar leaf. Little, however,
has been said about an industry of
far greater magnitude, and far more
certain in results, which, owing to
the destruction of Cuban plantations
and mills, now offers to Florida an
opportunity to secure it's permanent
establishment. [ allude to the grow
ing and manufacture of sugar, which
offers to labor and capital large and
certain profits with few if any risks;
a crop not subject to disease, requir-
ing no peculiar skill, and never
known to make total failure.
Some interest has recently been
manifested in the sugar industry, ow-
ing to the fact that a number of prac
tical Cuban sugar planters recently
negotiated for the purchase of the ST.
Cloud sugar plantation. Few persons
realize the magnitude of the industry
and the immense profits of the bust
ness, when labor and capital are intel
ligently combined in the growing and
manufacture of this stable necessity.
The United States consumes more
than 100000 tons of sugar per an
mum, which amount is increasing at
the rate of 100000 tons per annum.
We produce but 100000 tons from all
sources-cane, beet, maple, etc.,
leaving 2,7OO,OOO tons to be imported
some 100000 tons from Cuba: not
quite one-half of the importations.
Please note the fact that these fig
ures are tons, not pounds. These fig
ures will surprise many who are not
aware of the fact that our sugar bill
far exceeds our bread bill in amount.
Cuba's mills and fields have been
largely c1Ilu 1Uo 1oOOA oNe'o
teredand demoralized Should the war
end Immediately, years would be re-
quired for it to reach it's former out
put. Large amounts of American cap
ital are invested in Cuba sugar plan
tations that are now idle or destroy
ed. Were the facts made known to
these capitalists, an immense impetus
would be given to the industry in the
state, and it's permanency assured.
A modest estimate is that ten mil
lions of dollars are invested in pala-
tial tourist hotels in this state. A safe
proposition also is that they do not
yield two per cent net profit on their
cost While they do much to add to
the tourist business, and for a few
months add materially to the passen-
ger traffic of the railways, they add
but little to the permanent wealth
and real prosperity of the state.
I am prepared to show, and am not
by any means alone in my position
(men far more capable than myself
will indorse the statement) that one
tenth of the sums invested in hotels
of the better class will pay their own
ers a much greater revenue directly:
and will give the railroads a far

or by small holders, in lots of ten to
fifty acres, the cane to be sold at a
fixed price at the mill, based on the
! value of sugar.
These fields, cultivated with inn
proved machinery, under skillful di-
rection and perfect system, can be
| handled for much smaller cost, and
larger profits made. However, as the
desire is to encourage the establish
ment of small, intensely cultivated
farms, with independent, thrifty
| American farmers, and not a system
| of semi-slavery, or coolie labor, L fig
| ure on a central mill to handle the
product of one thousand acres OF
cane grown on small farms. In these
estimates 1 put all ordinary farm Ia

with the same, whether performed by
himself and family or by hired hands.
[ place ordinary centrifugal sugar at
IA cents per pound, which is certain
ly not excessive, making the value of
the cane delivered at the mill $3.50
per ton.
The cost per acre the first year,
including seedcane, fertilizers Gf
useO, and all possible charges will
not exceed $35; to deliver at MILL $25;
total cost first year, $50.
An average crop of twenty-five tons
of cane per acre can be made easily.
sbeen averaged.) This, at the price
fixed, $3.50 per ton, would yield the
farmer $87 so, or $27.5O net per acre.
The net income on 1000 acres would
be $27,5OO to the farmers. The gross
income, $87, 800. The mill to handle
this crop would cost, complete with
all modern apparatus and latest ap-
planes, not to exceed 100000.
The result for the first year would
be as follows:

On the Water Front.

The Australia commenced taking in
cargo this morning.
The next vessel from the Coast will
probably be the Alden Besse.
The Diamond Head is at the railroad
wharf discharging heavy timber for
the new wharf.
The James Makee arrived yesterday
with 1921 bags of sugar, $50 bags of
rice, 800 bags of paddy, and AZ hides.
The Kinau will not go to Waimea
and Kekaha this trip, but the Hall,
sailing tomorrow afternoon, will take
in the whole route.
The j. A. Fuller is still waiting for a
favorable wind. The Klillitat got out
yesterday, Capt. Cutler getting tired
of waiting for favorable breeze.
The indications are that both the
Kinau and the Mikahala will carry big
loads of passengers to Hawaii tomor-
row. The latter sails at 0 o'clock, and
the Kinau at 10.
The Aryan and Giuseppe are being
loaded as fast as possible. Mr.. Whit
ney said this morning that he hoped
to have them both cleared for New
York this week.
There is some talk of having the
Hall return here Saturday morning OF
this week in order that her cargo may
be out in time to give the men holi'
day next Monday. The matter has
not been settled yet.
The Kinau's crew started to finish
discharging cargo at midnight and
finished soon after sunrise this morn
ing, so that the steamer was at hel
own dock and ready for cargo at the
usual hour this morning. The delay
was due to Saturdays rain.
The Claudine arrived yesterday
morning with $685. bags of sugar
which is being put into the Aryan al
Brewers wharf. In addition to the
sugar, the Claudine brought so head
of cattle, 40 hogs, 240 sacks of pota'
toes and a lot of miscellaneous cargo
According to advices by the last
steamer from the Coast, the City OF
Picking, due here to morrow, left
Hongkong half a day late, so that she
is not expected here before Wednes
day. The chances are even, however
that she will make up the lost time il
the weather is favorable.
The Mauna Loa is expected to arrive
early Friday morning this time, il
order that she may go on the marine
railway for repairs. The cargo vii
be discharged in time for her to &c
on the ways late Saturday afternoon
and she will be off again in time to
make her regular trip Tuesday.

The Company known through
out the world as the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO

Having met with the highest sue
cess in the manufacture and sale of
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, it has become import
ant to all to have knowledge of the
Company and its products. The
great value of the remedy as q medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions OF bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose of
manufacturing and selling laxative
remedy, which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bene-
fetal in its effects than any otht r
known. In the process of manufact-
uring, figs are used, as they are
pleasant to the taste, and healthful
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination oil
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most beneficially.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but il
in need of laxative, then one
should have the best and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most
largely used and gives most general
satisfaction.

TO SELL HER LANDS.
Mrs. Leland Stanford Puts Valuable
Land in the Market.

Mrs. Stanford is going to sell over
$500,000 worth of land. She so decided

mcnts at once.
The property consists of five ranches
in different parts of California. Alto
gether there are $500 acres Of land,
much of it very fertile.
1t will he extensively advertised, both
in the east and on this coast. The idea
is to sell each ranch as Il whole if pos
sible. This property is part OF the So
called Leland Stanford estate, which it
self is separate from the endowment Of
Stanford university.
The valuable and extensive Nina, Rid
ley, Palo Alto and other ranches, to-
gethcr forming Il total of $4,000 acres,
have nothing to do with this sale. They
cannot be sold. They are forever the
property of the university, having been
given TO it by Senator Stanford during
his lifetime.
The appraised value Of the fine
ranches is slightly in excess OF $780,
coo. The agents hope to sell for more
than that.
