REPRESENTATIVE McCoLLoM has in
troduced bill creating a board OF
appeals on grading wheat by the
state inspectors. To this board is tc
be referred all cases where dissatis.
faction with the grading may arise
under the present law. The bill pro-
vides for a board of six members half
of whom shall constitute a body OF
action at Minneapolis, the other
members to act at Duluth. Each
committee of three is to include a
producer of grain, an exporter OF
MAILER and a commission merchant
The term Of Office is made two years,
with the provision that the railroad
and warehouse commission may,
within it's discretion, remove any
member. This board is to fix the
standard of grades and will in a
measure supplant the chief inspector,
as it is to have general superintend.

The law is framed on the principle
that several heads are better than one
though they may all he sleeps
heads. A board composed of three
or six men, it is supposed, will rem.
der more just and fair decision as
TO grades than one man could posi-
bly, do, and it will remove zone man

ton system. We can not see why
the McCollom bill would not make
a good law.

Sugar.

From DR.. Stockbridge's valuable
bulletin on cane, syrup and sugar, we
extract the following from the chapter
on sugar:
Although the making of syrup was
the chief experimental work under
taken, incidentally some attention was
given to the process of Sugar-making
with the object of further developing
this domestic industry in the State. 1t
is not to be expected that the home
manufacture of sugar can take it's
dertaking upon many Florida farms,
the capital and acreage required max
ing sugar production essentially a
manufacturing rather than an agricul-
tural enterprise. 1t is believed, how
ever, that conditions of climate and
soil, if properly utilized, would natur-
ally place Florida in the lead as a
commercial reproducing State,
and that capital invested in this bust

more remunerative than is possible in
any other part of our country AS
bearing on this point, comparison of
the sugar content of Florida cane with
the average for the State of Louis
lana is important. DR.. Stubs, Direc-
tor of the Louisiana Experiment Sta
ton, places the average for his State
at II per cent. This amount is some
what above the average of available
analyses, but it is adopted as suffi-
GENTLY high
Our analyses of Florida cane from
eighteen different localities covering
the entire State the present season
show an average of 1859 per cent. of
sugar, and an average coefficient of
purity for the juice Of $3.50 per cent.
The Louisiana comparison is II per
cent. of sugar and coetticient Of

ma terially improved thereby. The
time which will be required for COM
pleting this granting process will de-
pend upon density, amount of impuri-
ties present and the relative sucrOse
or sugar content of the syrup. With
reasonable success in quality, the pc
riod, however, should rarely continue
over one hour, and may be completed
in a very few minutes. When the
granting or crystalizing has been thus
effected the process is, for the time
being, at an end.
Purging-The soft sugar thus form
ed is a mixture of sugar and mOlasses,
and the next step in the process is the
separation of these two constituents.
This is best and most simply effected
by turning the soft mass, the so-called
masse cult, into flour barrels, through
the bottom of each of which three or
four One-inch auger holes have been
bored, into each of which a stalk of
cane as long as the barrel and from
which three Feelings have been taken
The barrels filled with the masse cult
should then be placed on blocks,
benches or tables so that they are
raised sufficiently from the floor or
ground to allow the placing of a pan,
tub, or crock under each barrel for
catching the mOlasses> as it runs off.
Time alone will now complete the pro-
cess, the purging going on by gravity
without human assistance. 1t is COM
plete when the molasses has so drain.
,, ed off as to leave the sugar reasonably
dry and free from all sticky tendency.
| If the process is successful such ST.
gar will be Of a light brown OF yell
lowish color, and thoroughly adapted
to most domestic uses, and will find
ready sale for local consumption, or
for refining.
Whitening the Sugar.-The demand
of the market and perhaps, unfortu-
nately, Of most consumers is for SUI
gar entirely free from all natural cane
flavor or taste and perfectly white in
color-in other words, the "granulat-
ed' form of commerce. This product
however, is the result of the refining
process involving the use of c0mpli
Gated machinery and great capital.
There are, however, simple means by
which, on a small scale with a mod
crate expense, the sugar may be so
materially whitened as to approach
the character of granulatel sugar AMI
find moe ready sale. The simplest Of
these methods is one devised by lis but
based on modification of an old pro-
cess used in the days when loaf sugar
was a standard article Of commerce.
1t consists simply in removing the sll-
gar from the purging barrel and plac-
ing it in tub or half-barrel with all
outlet at the bottom. The sugar is then
covered by a single thickness of COM
mon cheese cloth, on top of which is
placed a water bucketful of moist clay
stirred to a thick paste. The result
will be that the sugar will absorb the
moisture from the clay and become
washed thereby; in few days time

cent of purity in favor of the Florid;
product. There is no question o
equally heavy crops in our State 81
the superiority of Florida for suga
production can hardly be longer ques
toned
This bulletin, however, is devoted es
sentially to the interests of the aver
age farmer of Florida rather than tt
the consideration of exceptional con
ditions. SO far, therefore, as it can
touch upon the question of sugar pro
ductiOn it will deal solely with the
domestic phase of the industry in the
hope of enabling intelligent growers
portion of the same for more economic
cally and satisfactorily supplying thei1
own home and local requirements. Ii
must be borne in mind that all that
has thus far been recorded pertaining
to the growing of cane and the making
Of syrup is equally applicable when
the ultimate end in view is sugar rath-
er than syrup, the essential difference
being that the process is continued
farther.
The Spanish moss, double-pan meth
cd recommended for syrup is also
equally applicable and commendable
for sugar.
BOILING FOR SUGAR-After the
syrup stage has been reached, if SUI
gar is desired, great care should be
exercised that all danger from scorch>
ing or Overheating may be avoided.
Indeed, the lower the temperature,
the less the actual amount of boiling
till the density necessary for sugar
forming is reached, the better. High
temperature and vigorous boiling hay
ing a tendency to invert the sugar and
thus prevent crystaliZatiOn, should be
carefully guarded against. Indeed, SO
iron kettle, with all it's faults, possess
es some advantage as the finishing re-
ceptacle in sugar boiling because OF
the less surface exposed to direct heat
and consequently the diminished dan
ger from overlooking. After the syr-
up stage has been reached, as de
termined by our improvised "syruI
TESTER" the process should be cOntin-
ued according to temperature fol
twenty Or thirty minutes, at which
time the density should have proceed
ed about one-tenth beyond the syrup
stage. In other words, the volume OF
the syrup should have been diminish
ed by about one-tenth.
The final test for determining when
the proper consistency has arrived
does not rest entirely upon density OF
thickness, and therefore the saccharo
meter is useless. The test must be
the actual disqualification of the sugar
If, however, sample of syrup is
found to grain and it then be tested
with the "syrup tester'' and an add
tional or lower mark be placed upon
the stem of the same, this will serve
as the safest Indicator of the proper
time to stop boiling for future runs.
as mentioned, it should be removed to

brought together in opposition, the
neutral or white optical effect follows.
Consequently the laundress uses blu
ing with yellow clothing to make 1t
appear whittier, and the sugar refner
uses ultra marine upon his yellow su-
gar whereby it appears white. Ultra
marine is wholly harmless and mex
pensive. and can be secured of most
druggists. If the water, therefore,
that is used for mixing with the clay
is very slightly blued by the introduce
ton of little powdered ultramarine
the effect is an apparently white SUI
gar really no purer or winter than the
yellow article, but which meets the
public demand and sells for better
price.
Yield and Returns From Syrup and
Sugar.-The final value of any crop
must rest upon it's commercial re-
turns, whether the same is actually
placed upon the market or is used for
home consumption, since in the latter
case, expenditure is prevented and "a
penny saved is penny earned" In
the particular case of sugar cane, how
ever it has been, as already expressed,
my desire to show that the growing of
cane for the manufacture of sugar off
cred a remunerative crop thoroughly
adapted to Florida conditions, and
therefore most valuable substitute in
regular farm practice for other staple
crops which have been unremuner-
ative. The yields and value of returns
from crop of cane, therefore, are of
particular interest. My own expert
ence and the various replies received
from the letters sent to many cane
growers in the State indicate that 500
gallons of syrup per acre is a reason
able product which may, with intelli-
gent management, be counted on as
almost certain, while exceptional crops
are known to some times return fully
twice this quantity of syrup. Such

shown can be easily made with GER
tainty, finds constant and ready de-
mand in the market at net return of
20 cents per gallon, Or a gross return
of 1925 per acre of cane. believe that
this acre of cane can be grown, and
it's product can be manufactured into
syrup at an average cost of SIS per
acre, leaving net profit on a very
moderate basis of $50 per acre from
the crop. The same syrup if market
ed in the condition I suggest, will
easily double the returns.
If sugar is the product in which the
crop is finally marketed, an estimate
made on the same basis and from the
same data leads me to place the rea-
sonable yield at 5000 pounds of sugar
per acre with the simple domestic
methods described. This sugar finds
ready sale at AZ cents per pound net,
or a gross return of $135 per acre. In
addition to this the molasses obtained
must be taken into consideration, al
though it's quality does not give it a
fixed commercial status, The expense
Of producing sugar is nearly one-tenth
greater than that of making syrup, or

two months ago there was bar

time that a murder had been committed
Under this impression the assailant fed
Several pursuers We're close behind him and
the fugitive. hard pressed ran into the open
sewerage canal on Thirty-flrst street. The
drain leads into the main brick sewer lead
ing north and the fleeing negro entered this
without hesitation. He is supposed TO have
followed this subterranean canal to its outlet
near Miller park, where he found hims Elf
in an open country with every opportunity
of escape. The sewer was about six feet
in diameter with less than a foot of water
in the bottom and the fugitive had been
able to make nearly as good time as II run
ming above ground His pursuers, ignorant
of the course Of the drain, were thrown off
the track.
Considering the youth OF the city the
drainage system is in a highly perfected
condition and Omaha Is undermined with
network OF sewers, any one OF which is
large enough to admit the passage of
human body In fact, they would furnish
almost as secure a means OF escape as the
famous drains OF Paris through which Jean
Valjean" made his notable escape and which
were once habitually used as a hiding place
for criminals
City Engineer Rosewater, in pointing out
the routes which might be followed under
ground, showed that fugitive might gain
almost any point OF exit he desired II he
was familiar with the system. "A man
could enter the main sewer at Twelfth and
lizard streets he said, "and proceed TO
