Quarantine to be Raised.

According to the opinion of DR.. POr
ter the yellow fever epidemic at
Miami will run it's course in time for
quarantine to be raised by the 10Th
of December This opinion is express
ed from the present attitude which
the epidemic has assumed. The work
of fumigating houses where fever has
occurred will re commenced at once,
several cheap buildings will be burn
ed, household goods, clothing and bed
ding must be carried to the disinfect-
ing plant on board the steamer Santa
Lucia to be sterilized as rapidly as
possible.
The percentage of fatal cases will not
exceed 31h per cent, which is one of
the lightest in the history Of the fever
in this country.
Many who have nursed and watched
the sick, who are not immune to the
disease, have escaped. Only those
whose systems have been extremely
sensitive to incubation have been ill.

has averaged during the season in the
markets of Lake City 10 cents per
gallon in barrel lots. Our syrup in
barrels is sold in any quantity we
have been willing to market for %
cents per gallon, net, barrels being re-
turnable to us. Shipments of syrup in
cans have netted so cents per gallon,
the cost of the cans being 10 cents

have been secured at much lower
rates. OF the profits of the process Of
making and the method of shipping,
therefore, there can be no question.
1t is only necessary to add further
that the process having been put TO

turns, can be recommended to others
without hesitation or reservation.

Lee County's Products.

The Ft. Myers Press of last week
says:
Steamers and trains are loaded
down and behind time in handling the
orange and vegetable crops now going
to market from Lee county. The
steamer st. Lucie has more than it
can do, and another boat will have to
be put on the line the next two weeks
to handle the heavy freights. AS it is
the crew is worked day and night
loading and unloading the steamer.
Not only is the steamer loaded going
north, but on the return trip she is
carrying all she can in the way OF
vegetable crates, wraps, fertilizers,
ETC., in addition to her regular
freightS.
At Punta Gorda trains have been de-
layed for hours awaiting the transfer
of oranges and vegetables from this
county For instance on Monday
Capt. Fisher left Fl Myers with 1850

and the three Sanibel landings he load
ed on seven to eight hundred crates of
vegetables, making in all over five car
loads The vegetables were loaded
into express cars at Punta GOrda.
Yesterday morning the st. Lucie left
here again with LOO boxes of oranges
and picked up about 600 crates of to-
matoes from the coast landings.
The shipments for the next two or
three weeks will be still heavier, as
the orange crops on Orange River
will now be rushed forward, while
the tomato shipments at Sanibel are
growing larger.
Sanibel has 2S5 acres in tomatoes,
and is the only point in the State max
ing large shipments. The crop there
is the finest known on the Island, and

Stock Raising in West Florida.

The following paper by n. COlyer,
was read at a meeting of the West
Florida Agricultural Society at Chip
ley Il few days since:
Mr.. President, Ladies and Gentlemen.
1t was truly said of Horace Greeley
that what he did not know about
farming would fill q large volume and
yet he was called on to speak at more
State and county fairs than any other
man in his time. 1t seems still more
meeting to-day, as what l don't know
about farming would fill whole Ii
brary. Though not accustomed to
speak on the platform, 1 never hesitate
whenever a chance is given me to say
good word for West Florida; and so
what few remarks l make on this oc~
casion will be of it's advantages for
stock raising.
l am glad that cattlemen are discOv-
ering it's advantages, and that they
are, is shown by the fact that, lii
Walton county alone, in the last three
OF four weeks 3,700 acres Of grass
land have been brought up.
| fully agree with my friend, L. L.
Miller, who claims that we have the
best stock region to be found in this
country, and he should be good
judge for he had the credit of having
the best herd of cattle in Illinois for
over a quarter of a century. l can but

everywhere to hasten hither, to the
neglect of other branches, and the
OVERRIDING of this; but no doubt the
thought that the vacillating frost line
in Florida has been pushed into the
water at the southern extremity, anG
that there remains no guarantee
against a freeze-up anywhere any win
ter, deters many from venturing.
Others are already planting groves in
Cuba and in Porto Rico, where safety
from cold is assured, and expense for
fertilizer little or nothing.
Whether the West Indian climate
and soil can produce quality equal to
that of Florida is a question to be
solved by experiment. Thus far out
State yields fruit without a rival when
the final test, against which there is
no appeal and individual taste has no
value, is applied-that is, the market.
California grows beautiful citrus
fruits and is supreme ON methods OF
handling, and good fruit comes from
abroad; but Floridas have the right of
way in the markets, and on them the
highest prices are realized.-American
Agrculturist.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1899-11-29

the present fall crop will reach 10000
boxes. Best of all, the growers are
getting good returns, prices ranging
from $500 in Western markets, to
$500 and over, in Eastern markets.
And while the growers are shipping
their fall crops they are getting $50
acres ready for the spring crops, and
in addition to this the Sanibelites will
plant 200 acres more in watermelons.
and if their good luck continues they
will close the season with big bank ac-
counts. Let the good work go on.

Preserving and Marketing Syrup.

Preserving and Marketing Syrup.
The reputation of Florida syrup in
the North is such that it commands an
excellent price, when the syrup reach
es the consumer in good condition,
Unfortunately, however, much of the
syrup is really unfit for use when Of
fered for sale. This has tendency to
weaken the market for the material
that is really in good condition.
In Dr.. Stockbridge's bulletin Oh
Cane, Syrup and Sugar." he devotes
a chapter to the very important ques>
ton of preserving and marketing the
syrup, from which we extract the fol-
lowing:
Preserving the Syrup-As already
mentioned, the heretofore nearly in
surmountable obstacle toward placing
the syrup upon the market as a com
mercial product has resulted from the
fact that as ordinarily made and mar
keted it was so unstable as to under
go fermentation, deterioration or de-
struction within a comparatively few
weeks or months at most. There have
been many methods proposed for over
coming this difficulty, all of which,
however, including the sulphuring and
lining already mentioned, have rested
upon the Introduction of foreign sub
stance into the syrup to counterfeit it's
natural tendency, rather than upon
the removal of the actual cause Of this
tendency. Our experiments and meth
DDS have been conducted on the sup
position that this fermentation or de-
StructiOn of the syrup was due not so
much to any inherent property of the
syrup itself as to the presence of i'm
purities, the elimination of which
would necessarily be followed by
disappearance of the trouble. In 9TH
er words, that thorough publication
and Qualification of juice and syrup
would necessarily result in improved
keeping qualities in the product.
The methods already described as
practised by us have apparently dem
onstrated the correctness of this sup
position, indeed at the time of the
present writing we have samples of
syrup made by the method described
which have been exposed in open YES
sells in a warm room for three months
without the slightest fermentation,
crystalization or deterioration. 1t is
recognized, however, that the process
of decomposition, resulting in the dete
rioration of the quality of the syrup
depends for existence upon access of
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1899-11-29

process is materially checked or aD-
solutely prevented. The natural sug~
geStiOn, therefore, is that syrup, for
preservation, should be put up in some
receptacle in which it may be hermeti-
cally sealed when hot. Bottles, jugs.
and similar articles have been more or
less used for the purpose, but careful
consideration of all the facts involved
leads to the conclusion that the ideal
syrup receptacle is a tin can Of mod
crate size which may be sealed air
tight and afterwards handled easily
with no possibility of injury to con.
tents.
This brings us. to a matter worthy of
special consideration
The Marketing of Syrup.-UnleSs
preservation of the product is assur
ed it is recognized that there will be
little syrup to market, and therefore
preservation and marketing are most
intimately associated. Moreover, ex>
cept for domestic consumption upon
the farm where produced, the market
ing return from the product must con-
troll the success of the process. This
phase of the subject, therefore, is
deemed of special Importance. The
syrup made by the process described
has not only been pronounced by ex>
perts to be superior to anything here
tofore available, but it has actually
been placed on the market for the eX-
press purpose of determining it's ac
tual relative commercial value, Oh
which the merits of the process must
finally rest.
Preservation, ease of handling and
cost of marketing were the points con-
sidered. The different forms of re-
ceptacle or package heretofore utiliZ-
ed were tried and, one by one, dis
carded as faulty. Barrels are bulky
and imperfect preservers; in them fer
mentation is probable. The common
cypress barrel, moreover, with all it's
advantages should be vigorously dis
carded as the receiver for first-c1ass
syrup such as is aimed at If the syr-
up is turned in while hot and the bar
rel, as is usually the case, is new, the
contents almost invariably acquire an
easily detected foreign taste very ma
terially detrimental to the value of
the article. This is true, also, of old
barrels and cold syrup, it being even
then sufficiently perceptible to detract
from the quality of the syrup. Bot
ties are expensive, destructible, incon-
venient to fill and difficult of trans
portation, and though good preservers
when tightly stoppered and sealed are
recommended only for home use.
Some form of tin can, therefore, seems
to be the only commendable recourse.
After careful consideration of the adj
vantages presented by different forms
and sizes, the one-gallOn square can
with a wide Orifice, closed air-tightly
by a cap surrounded by a rubber ring
and fastened by the sO-called lever ac-
ton, was adopted by us and is recon-
mended In this the syrup should be
introduced while hot, first being
strained through a thickness of cotton

rumors of heavy fighting near Ladysmith
The Beers are evidently trying to effect
lodgment around the place whence they
can shell the town and camps, but General

from closing in too near. Owing to the
fact that Ladysmith lies low and the
Beers have unluckily been permitted to
occupy Mount Bulwan and other of the
surrounding big hills, attempts to open

proved a failure

They report that the. Beers have guns

rectory to the residence Of the brides
mother. Mrs. Mclean, where wedding
breakfast was served.
After arriving at Mrs. McLean's resi-
dence Admiral Dewey was driven to his
own mouse. There he changed his trav-
cling suit, returning to the Mclean resi-
dence on foot The wedding breakfast
lasted an hour. There were present only
the bride and groom, Mrs. Mclean, Mrs.
Ludlow, Lieutenant Caldwell and Fred
Bugher. The table was elaborateiy dec
Grated with bride roses.
About l:20 Admiral and Mrs. Dewey left
the Mclean residence for the Pennsyl
vania depot. Mrs, Dewey had changed
the gown in which she was married for
black travelling suit. Less than a dozen
people had congregated at the depot, and
there was no demonstration as they
passed hurriedly through the station to
the train. Secretary Root boarded the
train just before it pulled out and offered
his congratulations in person.
Admiral and Mrs. Dewey left at 12:45
for New York
NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Admiral and Mrs
Dewey arrived in New York tonight from
Washington. They We're driven direct
from the West Twenty-third street ferry
TO the Waldorf-Asto toria, where they are
the guests of Mr.. Boldt, the proprietor Of
that hotel. The admiral and his bride did
not register.
Admiral Dewey and Mrs. Dewey will
probably spend a day or two at the Wal
dorf. The admiral and his wife reached
the West Twenty-third street ferry at
$50 p. m. They were driven directly to
the Waldorf, where they spent the even
ing. They did not leave the hotel during
the evening.
Admiral and Mrs Dewey got away from
Washington without attracting any at
tention. They came to New York in an
ordinary chair car. Passengers who came
over, Secretary Root among them said
that the admiral and his bride were not
generally. recognized by the other passen-
passed Then there was a general desire
on the part of everybody on the train to
see them. People bought chair car tickets
for the purpose of being in the same car,
and others who did not get chairs walked
through the car for the purpose of seeing
the bride and groom.
At the suggestion of one of the passen-
gers a collection was taken up In the
other cars to buy some flowers to present
to the couple but a conference with the
conductor showed them that no flowers
could be obtained until Jersey City was
reached and the project was abandoned
and the money refunded.
A group of the passengers got around
the admiral, however, when he left his
seat for a few moments near Elizabeth
and a silk handkerchief with an American
flag embroidered on it and handful Of
cigars were presented to him. He, ac-
cepted them in a good-natured way. One
old man grasped his hand and said to
him; Admiral. saw you on the Otym-
