Is constituted of not less than four
members. Individual members had in
previous Instances exercised this au-
thority, but it was none the less wrong.
CONCLUDING ARGUMENT.
Mr.. Palmer began the concluding ar
gument by pointing out that many Of
the questions propounded to Mr.. Glib
bons were clearly irrelevant and court
had no business to commit him for not
answering them. 1t committed error,
he argued, in sentencing him for mat
ters which were not offenses as we'll as
for offenses.
His next contention was one entirely
new to the case. 1t was that the court
had no authority to interfere in the
matter as the law provides the exam
fners with powers to punish contempt.
The action Of the examiners in certi-
flying the proceedings to court were
wholly superfluous and unwarranted.
The act of Feb. &c, 1881, was cited by
Mr.. Palmer in proof of his position
1t clearly gives the examiners, in n
proceeding like an election contest, the
power to punish for contempt, and this
being the case, Mr.. Palmer averred,
the judges of the quarter sessions court
interfered without jurisdiction.
Mr.. Palmer concluded with an elab-
crate defense of Mr.. Gibbons position
in refusing to answer because his evil
dence would tend to incriminate him
self, and of the other averment of the
appellant that the alleged offense was
not committed in open court.
Court adjourned when Mr.. Palmer
had finished. An early decision is ex-
pected.

WANTS AN INVESTIGATION.
Delaware and Hudson Will Have
olyphant Accounts Audited.

Attorney Herman Osthaus was yes
terday appointed auditor to ascertain
the amount Of the Indebtedness of Oily
phant borough.
The appointment was made on the
application of the Delaware and Hud-
son Canal company. In it's petition it
is set forth that on May %, 1898, the
court ordered a special levy of five
mills yearly for period of six years
to pay the outstanding indebtedness
of Olyphant.
Apparently the Delaware and Hud-
son thinks the levy was not wholly
necessary and wants an attorney to
inquire thoroughly into the matter.

II, as Mr.. Burns claimed, the court
below offended him by virtually pay
ing no heed TO his argument, he had
no like complaint TO make of the SUI
perior judges. Every one of them, ex-
cepting Judge Beeber interrupted him
with questions calling for an elluci-
dation of some point or a verifcation
of their Interpretation OF his position.
Invariably Mr.. Burns rejolnder to
questions Of this latter character was
exactly, that's our contention" or
words to the same effect. No pre-
vious case this term was accorded such
close attention by the judges.
The novel, and, at first blush, start
ling proposition that the election board
is the court Of last resort In the mat
ter of the validity of vote was the
initial subject of Mr., Burns argument.

caused the splitting. Further ques-
tiOning brought out the fact that cow
pea vines were plowed under previous
to planting. Where the vines were
the potatoes were smooth, where the
roots were they cracked, confirming
the opinion that surplus Of ammonia
was the cause.
Second Question-What is the

per cent. nitrogen. Also nitrate Of
soda at $35 per ton.

Healy-Georgia little cob corn. Have
used it for twenty-five years.

piled would be of practical benefit to

Maj. Healy, w. H. Cook and others.
Mr.. Cook thanked DR.. StOckbridge for
the information received voicing the
feeling Of all that the information
given could be relied upon and would
be of practical USE
Fifth Question-What crops adapted
to Putnam county can be grown in
place of citrus fruits? TO this DR..
Stockbridge replied, speaking in re-
gard to cassava as reported in the last
issue of the Journal. Taking up the
other crop suggested, namely cane, he
spoke of it's adaptation to Florida,
saying cane can be raised in reasona-
BILE quantity of superior quality and
with fair profit, even in the fiatwoods
soil. In Louisiana, the sugar-raising
State of the Union, the cane there
contained a sugar content of 12 per
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1899-03-15

cent, while Florida cane had con-
tent of II per cent Leaving the fact
that a superior quality of cane could
be raised, the two products of cane
syrup and sugar-Were considered.
One drawback to Florida syrup had
been that it lacked characterized no
standard Of excellence, no stability.
One was never sure of twice obtain
ing the same quality of syrup. To
make it staple product it must reach
a certain degree of density. A simple
device to test the density was de-
scribed When one has made a syrup
of the right density, or thickness, put
it in an ordinary beer bottle, insert
stick weighted till 1T sinks, cut
notch on the stick the depth to which
it sank. BY using this device and
making all syrup of sufficient density
for the stick to sink to the notch one
