A Profitable Industry.

The Plant System has done we'll in
formulating a plan for the stimulation
of the market for Florida sirup
through it's industrial department. The
idea is one that might profitably be
adopted by the other great transporta
ton lines of the State; none of which
are in a position to ignore any source
of revenue for the community at
large; and all of which have a direct
and personal interest in the agric1i
tural development of the State.
The local sale of Florida syrup
must necessarily be limited, and our
cane growers can achieve success only
through the great northern markets.
Hitherto, two insuperable obstacles
have barred the way to those markets
high railroad rates on the one hand;
and produce whose keeping qualities
were far from being up to the market
on the other.
The latter obstacle can readily be

ed. and that constant vigilance will be
required to keep it out Of the country.
Quarantine officer Craw a short time
since seived a shipment of oranges
from Acapulco which was badly in
tested with worms. This proves conclu-
sively that the pest which has hither
to apparently been confined to the in
terror of Mexico, has found it's way to
the coast. This greatly increase the
danger to us. So long as the worm
was found only in interior districts
from which oranges were shipped by
rail directly to Eastern cities. the
greatest danger to us consisted in the
chance that cars which had been load.

Calculations and Results.-This strip
made by Mr.. Bugbee is as fine as the
best maple sirup, which the writer, in
his younger days, made and enjoyed at
the fountain-head for thirty years.
How long it will keep and what the
quality will be a year hence we pro-
nOunce no opinion, having had no ex-
perience. But now it is thoroughly
satisfactory, free from any throat-cut
ting rawness, bland, smooth, clear, de-
licious. 1t is better than most honey
Mr.. U. G. Whites figures on the
cost of the cane crop are as follows:
Seed cane, planting and cultivating
SIS per acre; stripping, cutting and
hauling to mill, SIS. This cane will
average twenty-five tons per acre. In
Louisianathis year cane brings $500
per ton delivered at the mill. At pres
en- prices here, twenty-five cents per
gallon for the strip (total product 400
gallons per acre, the grower receiving
half as his share), the crop would
yield tlfe grower $50 The cost above
figured was $33, leaving the grower a
net profit of SIT per acre.
Now, suppose there was a central
factory making sugar instead of this
small affair making strip. The grower
would deliver the cane the same as at
present, but he would receive 81 ton
for it, 500, leaving him a net profit of
$67 per acre.
The mill owner, Mr.. Busbee, esti-
mates the cost of manufacture at five
cents a gallon; this is a safe figure,
and he expects at the end of the sea-
son to make a good deal better exhibit
than that. His half, therefore, costs
him ten cents a gallon, leaving him a
net profit of fifteen cents a gallon. If
he manufactures 400 gallons per day.
his profit becomes satisfactory.
If he could hold this sirup until next
summer he could probably sell it all
out at fifty to sixty cents per gallon,
but he prefers to sell now.
The demand for strip is limited
compared with the demand for sugar
Sirup must ever remain an article of
luxury appealing, like maple sirup
and guava jelly, to handful of gour
NETS; but sugar is world staple. We
hope the manufacture of the eXQui-
site article of strip, which Florida is
capable of producing on her choice
pine lands may never be superseded
entirely; but for great money staple
lining up our farmers to count for
something in Government reports and
Wall Street estimates, the central Sill,
gar factory should come and come

ridge OF in the opposite direction, so
as to "bar it Off" In this heavy SOIL
where all crops must be ridged, it was
difficult to find any implement which
would climb up the ridge and lightly
stir the earth clear up to the rows;
this cultivator performs the difficult
feat.

Growth of the Cane.-The principal
ield we visited, sixty-three-acre
held, was neglected last summer, be-
cause the owner had lost faith in the
prospect of a central mill being erect
ed; it was not irrigated and the
drouth shortened the growth; the cane
came to premature standstiH fully
two feet below it's usual height. Tue
lands still standing showed a
growth about eight feet high, with IA

The cane is delivered to him at the

AS the juice runs down from the roll
ers it falls into a box having about
two feet of Spanish moss at the bot
tom (the Stockbridge method), then is
pumped by hand into the clarifer, a
tank in which it is warmed about to
blood heat by steam pipe passing
through it, and sufficiently elevated so
that the juice flows down by gravity
to the evaporating pans. AS it pours
into his clarifier it runs through a
cloth strainer which is changed and
washed every ten minutes. In the
pans the juice passes slowly down
ward, zigzagging to and fro between
tie rifles, while the scum as constant
ly tends the other way, and is kept re-
moved by the skimmers. On the Un-

quality of the strip. In about twenty

Cane Culture at Hastings.

In company with Mr.. G. G. White, a
very competent guide, the writer spent
several hours last week driving about
the farms and cane plantations OF
Hastings, St. Johns county.
The double culture-sugar cane and
Irish potatoes or cabbage-is charac-
teristic of the Hastings region, as the
triple culture"-Wheat, grapes and
mulberries-is of north Italy. The po-
tatoes are planted in various ways, &C
cording to individual fancy, from Jan
uary Is to March 1, in rows about tive
feet apart Whatever fertilizer is re-
uuired for both crops is applied at or
before the planting Of the potatoes,
and since the potatoes have the first
use of it, it is charged to them. The
cane grows on the residuum. 1t is
planted directly after the potatoes are
planted, midway between the rows.
Cabbage can also be used as a crop
preceding cane The cane stalks are
cut into sections embracing two OF
three joints each.
During the life of the potatoes the
cultivation given to them accrues also
to the benefit of the cane. The potato
crop is made in ninety days; in the
fall it is made in sixty days (say from
October 5 to December5, and the dig
cling of it affords one more cultlVa
ton, and a very thorough one, to the
cane. By this time it. is about one to
two feet high, in seasons Of ordinary
rainfall.
Hastings is notable fol
it's extensive and excellent system OF
irrigation by means Of artesian wells.
The warmth of the water affords an
appreciable protection to orange trees
when it is heavily flooded over the
land in winter; but as resort for IL
rigation of itself, at least for the pO-
tatO crop, this warming and nOurlSh-
inc water is used by experienced
planters with due caution. In the
heavy, impermeable soil of these fiat
woods a saturating application OF wa
ter. even in the severest drOuth, is a
little risky If by freak Of the
weather. a rainfall should occur direct
ly after the flooding, finding the
ground already soaked, the effects
upon the potatoes might be injurious.
Used with discretion, however, it is
beneficial, and with cane and rice
highly beneficial
Subsequent Cultivation.-Afte the
potatoes are dug the cultivation is
simplified, and has for it's object large
ly the reduction of the potato ridge
midway between the rows and the dis
tribution Of it in equal portions to the
cane row on either side. In this fiat
woods soil all crops must be ridged,
but the cane ridges are broad and
low. Cane is a heavy drinker; 1t
readily absOrbs a rainfall which would
overwhelm and rot a potato crop. The
indictments used are various; Mr.. Z.
G. White prefers, above all others, the
disc cultivator. This is an admirable
implement, perhaps the ideal. 1t is
rugged on wheels, like the wheel cult1-
vator with which probably most of our
readers arc familiar and is driven

I. ATTLER'S METHOD OF DOING
BUSINESS PROVED EXPENSIVE

Isaac Attler was adjudged guilty OF
conducting pawnbroking business with
out license, in Judge Sullivan's court
this afternoon, and was fined $50. Attler
was arrest ed last night by City Detective
Murphy at The instigation of Mrs. Nj.
J. Russell. On the stand this afternoon
Mrs. Russell told the story of transac-
ton which reflects small credit on young
Alters methods of doing business. She
said that she wanted to go to Pocatello
yesterday to meet her husband. ana not
having sufficient money went to Alters
place and offered to put gold watch and
a gold ring in pledge: that Attler accept
ed her offer. took the jeWelry. gave her
his business card. With $3.50, and told her
that she could have the jeWelry back on
payment of SO. Later she received
telegram from her husband announcing
that he was en- route to Butte. and her
trip to POcatellO was, therefore, aban-
doned. She then concluded. to get her
jewelry back, and went to ALTERS place
Atter told her he had sent the watch to
a jeweler and that he could not give 1t
to her She then complained to City De-
tective Murphy, who arrested Attler.
Attler testified that he had bought the
jewellery from the woman for So. and
said he told her she could get it back on
payment of SO rs. When she called 10
redeem the property he said it was in
possession of a jeweler. When City Attor-
ney Lamb asked him to give the name of
the ieWeler he refused to do So until or
derel to answer by the court. He then
stated that il was in the possession OF a
jeWeler named ItubenStein.
"Where is the watch now?' asked the
city attorney
The defendant declined to answer ana
the court ordered him to 60 so.
Il have given it to a party who is out
of town." replied Attler
What is that party's name?'
Il don't see where that has anything
to do with this" replied the witness. He
was again instructed to answer.
His name is l. LewkowitZ. and he left
town today" was the reply.

Mr. Lamb. pointing to an individual in
the rear of the court room.

and the court adjudged Attier guilty.
