Sugar.


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 its place,
as an important commercial undertake
ing upon many Florida farms, the cap
ital and acreage required making sugar
production essentially a manufacturing
rather than an agricultural enterprise.
1t is believed, however, that conditions
or climate and soil, if properly utilized,
would naturally place Florida in the
lead as a commercial sugar producing
State, and that capital invested in this
business in Florida would certainly be
more remunerative than is possible in
any other part of our country. AS
bearing on this point, a comparison of
the sugar content of Florida cane with
the average for the State of Louisiana
is important. DR.. Stubs, director of
the Louisiana Experiment Station,
places the average for his State at 12
per cent. This amount is somewhat
above the average available analysis,
but is adopted as sufficiently high.
Our analysis 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 coeficient of purity for
the juice of $3.50 per cent. The Louis
lana comparison is 10 per cent. of SUI
gar and a coeficient of purity of $3.50
per cent. A difference of 1850 per cent.
of sugar and $50 per cent. of purity in
favor of the Florida product. There is
no question of equally heavy crops in
our State SO the superiority of Florida
for sugar production can hardly be
longer questioned.
This bulletin, however, is devoted es-
sentially to the interests of the average
farmer of Florida rather than to the
consideration of exceptional conditions.
SO far, therefore, as it can touch upon
the question of sugar production it will
deal solely with the domestic phase of
the industry in the hope of enabling
intelligent growers of sugar cane in Our
State to utilize portion of the same
for more economically and satisfactor-
lily supplying their own home and local
requirements It must be borne in
mind that all that has thus far been re-
corded pertaining to the growing of
cane and the making of syrup is equal
ly applicable when the ultimate end in
view is sugar rather than syrup, the
essential difference being that the pro-
cess 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 sugar is de-
sired, great care should be exercised
that all danger from scorching or over
heating may be avoided. Indeed, the
lower the temperature, the less the &C
tual amount of boiling till the density
necessary for sugar forming is reached,
the better. High temperature and Wig
orous boiling having tendency to in
vert the sugar and thus prevent crys-
taliZatiOn, should be carefully guarded
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1899-08-02


ing. After the syrup stage has been
reached, as determined by our impro-
vised ''syrup tester" the process should
be continued according to temperature
for twenty or thirty minutes, at which
time the density should have proceeded
about one-tenth beyond the syrup
stage. In other words, the volume OF
the syrup should have been diminished
by about one-tenth.
The final test for determining when
the proper consistency has arrived does
not rest entirely upon density or thick
ness, and therefore the sacclraromete
is useless. The test must be the actual
crystalization of the sugar. If, how
ever, a sample of syrup is found to
grain and it then be tested with the
''syrup tester" and an additional 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.
When the syrup has been condensed,
as mentioned, it should be removed to
barrel, tub or trough, or where a ket-
tie is used it may be allowed to remain
fire.
Graining.-The condensed syrup is
now ready for granting or crystalizatiOn
which process will inevitably take place
in it, but may be advantageously has
tened by stirring the mass while cool
ing with a stick or wooden paddle. Not
only is the process of crystalization or
sugar formation thus fastened, but the
quality of the product, particularly its
degree of whiteness, is very materially
improved thereby. The time which will
be required for completing this grain
ing process will depend upon density,
amount of impurities present and the
relative sucrose or sugar content of the
syrup. With reasonable success in
quality, the period, however, should
rarely continue over one hour, and may
be completed in a very few minutes.
When the grazing or crystalizing has
been thus effected the process is, for
the time being, at an end.
Purging- soft sugar thus formed
is mixture of sugar and mOlasses, and
the next step in the process is the sep
aratOn 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
their entire length, should be thrust.
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 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
drained off as to leave the sugar rea-
sonably dry and free from all sticky
tendency.

Rernes, July 5.--For Captain Dreyfus
the day passed off much as yesterday.
Madame Dreyfus, Matthew Dreyfus
his brother, and Maitre Laborie, his
| counsel, visited the prisoner, but other
wise no special incident occurred AS
an Illustration of the indifference of
the population. it is worthy of note
that the words "Vive Dreyfus' chalk

remains absolutely undsturbed. Many.
however, predict trouble on the ma
tional fete day, when a review of the
garrison will be held.
Madame Dreyfus, accompanied by
her parents, drove to the prison in
carriage this afternoon. Her parents
were not admitted, but she remained
with her husband an hour. On leaving
she showed, for the first time, signs of
distress. Her eyes were swollen and
red, as though she had been weeping
bitterly. She is still in deep mourning
and is determined to remain SO until
her husband regains his liberty.
somewhat larger crowd than usual
watched her arrival and departure and
again displayed utter lack of man.
ners and consideration for her terrible
position, gathering around her, rudely
staring her in the face, and pressing
one another aside in their eagerness
not to lose single detail of the inward
agony which might be reflected in her
countenance. Her visible distress to-
day was feast for those ghouls, who,
however, were speedily dispersed by a
squad of gen d'armes. The latter finally
barred the two streets leading to the
portal of the prison.
Just opposite the prison and over
looking the window of the cell of Cap
tain Dreyfus and the court, is tan
merry. This has been a favorite place
of vantage for a number of photog-
rdphers, who have taken snap shots
of every arrival and departure and as
often as possible of the incidents oc-
curing inside the prison yard. To-
day the police affixed notice over the
tannery entrance prohibiting the en-
try there of any one except on BUSH
ness connected with the tannery. This
measure has aroused considerable
comment. but the owner of the tannery
will probably find it prudent not to
ignore the notice.

Nine. Dreyfus returned to Paris this
evening.

United States Delegation at The
Hague Takes a Stand.
ARGUES FOR IMMUNITY
Wants Private Property at Sea in Time
OF War Non-Seizable-Mr. White
Presents the American
Case

The Hague, July 5.-The American
delegates scored a great success to-day
In obtaining from the peace conference
unanimous vote in favor of having
the question of immunity of private
property at sea in time of war dealt
with at special conference, to be sum-
moned hereafter.
Much diplomatic MANAGEMENT was
necessary and many obstacles had been
surmounted before this result was
reached.
The second committee met this morn
ing and Andrew D. White, head of the
American delegation, preached the sub
Ject The question of its admissibility
under the conference mandate was dis
cussed. No vote was taken, but an
agreement was arrived at to allow the
Americans to present their case in full
this afternoon. Had vote been taken
Immediately the Americans would
doubtless have carried their point by
majority of one or two, and to avoid
this resolution was proposed recog-
niZing the Importance and complexity
of the question and recommending the
summoning of special conference.
At the afternoon sitting of the COM
mittee, the successive clauses of the
laws of war having been adopted, NJ
De Mertens of the Russian delegation
moved a resolution to that effect. Mr.
White seconded 1t.
In the course of a clear and eloquent
statement of the American case, he said
the United States government had ac-
cepted the invitation to participate in
the conference with alacrity because
of the opportunity it was expected the
conference would afford for preaching
the truth with regard to the immunity
from capture Of private property at sea.
He admitted, however, that the United
States government recognized 1t would
be hopeless to expect any decisive re-
suit from this conference, owing to
three causes: Absence Of instructions
or power from the government; second,
ference, and third, the length of time
necessary for discussion of all the
bearing Of the case
Mr.. White frankly admitted the difa-
cuties involved in deciding what con-
sttuted contraband Of war, but insisted
that these supply one of the best argu-
ments for full and prominent discus
sion The suffering and losses which
seizures entailed were immense. while
the effect upon the ultimate result of
war was almost nothing.
Referring to the experience of the
United States in the war of the rebel
lion, he said that only three confederate
cruisers did anything of Importance,
but they captured 1863 vessels, quad.
rupled tine rate of insurance between
America and Great Britain and caused
the transfer Of a half million tons Ct
American shipping to British bottoms

His Long and Honorable
Record in the Army.

Washington, July 5.-The order d.
recting the enlistment of 10 new regi-

order was drafted after a conference
this afternoon between the president
and Adjutant General Corbin and di-
reefs the recruiting officers to enlist
men under the law passed May %, 1899.
These regiments are to be numbered
from 26 to 35, thus retaining the con-

Major Edmund Rice. Sd infantry. to-
day was appointed colonel of the 18th
the first selection made by the presi-

the army from Massachusetts as a
captain of the 9th Massachusetts vol
unteers in 1861 and served throughout
the rebellion. He was breveted cap
tain. major and lieutenant colonel for
gallant service during the rebellion,
and at its close became a first lieuten-
ant in the regular army.
Colonel Rice became well known to
all the visitors at the worlds fair in
Chicago, where he organized and COM

Green was arrested here 10 days ago and
has since been in jail awaiting the arrival
of detectives from the West
The sheriff and deputy sheriff of Walla
Walla, Wash. came here with a requisl-
ton for the prisoner for huncoing farm
er out of 5000 in that city. A Chicago de-
tective also arrived with a requisition for
the prisoner, who is alleged to have bum
coed farmers in Illinois, and officers are
on the way here from Iowa with requi-
sition.
To-day a detective of Westmoreland
county reached Harrisburg with a requi-
sition for Green, who is wanted at Green's
burg for fleeing farmer out OF $1,000 in
1887. All OF the parties were represented
by counsel at the hearing before Governor
Stone to-day on the requisition.
The governor ordered Green turned
over to the Westmoreland county author
tiles and decided to allow the requisition
of the Washington authorities after the
Westmoreland people were through with
him.
The governors action was checked by
the issuing of warrant this afternoon
from the executive department to Sheriff
Sellers on the requisition papers sent here
from the state of Washington. Judge
Weiss said the only thing he could do
under these conditions is to hand the
prisoner over to the Washington authori-

After an hours consultation between
the judge and attorneys Green was sent
back to Jail until further orders are re-
ceived from Governor Stone. The gov
ernor left for Washington this afternoon
and will not return before Friday.
