Syrup from Japanese Cane.

Elsewhere will be found, this week,
information about Japanese cane
syrup. BY the time it is printed it
will be late for syrup making. But
we hope that those who have had
experience will send in all the infor-
nation that they can, if too late for
this season it will be good for another
year.
In the meantime we will tell some

we ever tasted.
He says that he made it just as he

w hich of These Senators Succeed
ed the Better?

Under this title the American Agri-
culturist prints the portraits of Tho
mas 4. Tlatt, l.. s. Senator from the
state of New York. and that of the
late Orville Ii. Platt, formerly L. 5.
senator from Connecticut. We wish
that we could produce the portraits
and the article as it appeared in their
columns Deneath each picture is
printed short account of the man.
And the question is asked, which is
the lite OF the article. The portraits
seem to be lffelike, and if SO there
was IL vast difference between the
men. Briefly, Orville III. Platt repre-
sentei the state of Connecticut i'll the
senate Tor many years. He died in
once during the past year leaving an
estate of only $4,000. His whole life
was devoted to the public service He
served the people of his state well, but
the people of the whole country bet
ter, especially the farmers. He never
had private interests that confiicted
with his official duties.

Oranges in New York.

Both the Fruit Trade Journal and
the Fruit and Produce News of this
week report that the recipes of
Florida oranges for the week have
been in the worst condition of any
ever received. The decay has been so
great in many cases as to render them
unsuitable. in some shipments reach
ing 20 per cent. Almost all of the
of it will not stand up over "a hours
when repacked and has to be repacked
again. In some instances oranges
have sold as low as 30 cents box.
If the shipper paid 81. per box on the
tree. he loses not only 80 cents. the
difference between the price received
and the price paid. but also the whole
expense of picking. packing and the
freight. These papers report that the
same conditions exist in other mar
kets. Boston, Baltimore and Philadel-
phia being especially mentioned.
Grapefruit is reported to be scarce
and i'm demand. prices ranging from
$3.50 to 81.
The Fruit Trade Journal reports
the first car of Arizona oranges as
sold at very high prices. ranging from
$3.50 to S612 ID for boxes and S2.O5
to $3.50 for half boxes.
a shipment of Cuban lemons and
grapefruit is also reported. the grape
fruit though coarse and unattractive
in appearance had Il very good flavor
closely resembling that of Florida
fruit. The appearance was so much
against it. however. that it brought
only from S2.2J to S2.62.1-2 per box.
The Fruit and Produce reports 4
cars of Southern California oranges
as being sold at very low prices. being
too green. Well known brands only
averaged from S1.61 to S1.15. Fancy
brands from another grower sold as
high as s.. 2.O2 to S2.1O.

ditiOn. better cOlOred, and sold for

A Merry Christmas.

Christmas will come before the next
paper is printed, so we Will Wish you
all q Merry Christmas. Although IL
is not at all certain that the 2oth Oh
December is the anniversary OF the
birth of our Savior, yet as the exact
date cannot be fixed, it is well to cele-
brate one day in the year in comemo-
ration of that joyful event. 1t should
be happy, joyous day, but we do not
like the noisy way that it is often
celebrated. with the firing of guns,
pistOls and fireworks. There is no
harm in these at proper time, -Dul

resolutions as giving wrong impress

to express his opinion. 1t will be seen
that he does not dispute that some
nurseries had white fly, if so, then
surely the resolutions urge no more
than a wise precautiOn in buying and
setting trees. We certainly have no
wish to do any one the least injustice,
but we do not see that the precautions
suggested are unreasonable. Still if

The Tampa Fair.

The Fair was a great success. Ger
tainly no one. who visited it. will ever
darp to say that Florida is not an aGrl-
cultural state Neither can they say
that good live stock cannot be raised
here. There were also enough citrus
fiI-itS shown to convince anyone that
we were not losing ground in that line.
Il, erything else gave evidence of Il
general advance along all other lines.
The various exhibits will prove an
advertisement of great value TO all
the counties that competed. 1t Is to
be regretted that more of the counties
did not make the best exhibit that was
possibIe. If it was felt that there was
no chance of winning Il prize, still it
would have been IL paying investment
as il means of making known the re
sources of the county. Some OF the
pauers in the western part of the
state are already calling attention to
the fact that that part of the state
al
represented at the fair.
There is no doubt that another year
the display will be very much greater
and give a better idea of the bOuntiful
resources of the whole state.
As is always the case there are
some who are not satisfied. Polk
county claims that she was fairly en-
titled to the first prize. Their claim
is that they had fine exhibit of pOul-
try. vet were not allowed Il single
point on this display. also that they
had as large an exhibit of preserved
products as any county and yet were
not credited with any points on that
/ hey claim Z points on poultry and 8
Oh preserved products which would
make 10 more points or Il total of 80,
) more than the winning county.
irobably the judges can give an eX-
planation of the omission, until they
are heard from, it will be wise to sus-
lend Judgment.
We have only one regret in regard
TO the fair, that is that Jacksonville
aid not make an strenuous effort to
have the fair located at the gateway
OF the state, where every hOmeseeker
entering the state could have seen it
without extra expense.

Mociish Trimmino,

The bouillonee is still modish trim
ming and the narrow plated frills
also retain their popularity. Among
the popular trimmings for cashmere
house frocks is a narrow plated frill
Of silk. The frill Is set on In bold
Greek key design upon the full skirt
and the skirt has very shallow plain
yoke, which gives snugness just about
the waist line and Is cut in two points
in the front. Frllls trim the sleeve
and edge the turned down collar, and
silk matching that of the frilling is
used for the girdle and for bows set

delicate gray cashmere has bands OF

gray and white run around the full

ice. which also acts as trimming for
the sleeves.
