years, but with varying method. Z.
McBrydc, of Cotton Plant, Tippah coun
ty, preserves the syrup from sorghum
! and says concerning it: Get jugs o
any size Zone gallon preferrcd); hav,
J them dry and clean. Pour syrup in no

not fcrmented. DO not know what eff
feet handling would have on it. [ be
lieve that for shipping it could be put ir
cans hot from the pan. and sealed al
once, and that it would keep indefinitely
In preparing cane for mill, carefully re
move all heads and fodder, especially
dead blades at bottom of stalk. Keer
MILL juice tubs and barrels clean, and
strain juice before going to evaporator.
DO not allow green juice to be dipped
forward and mixed with molasses done,
or nearly SO, as this will cause fermen-
tation and sometimes souring. Keep pan
well skinned and never allow skimmings
to be thrown back with boiling Juice. "
Mr.. McBryde sends a jug of his syrup
that is in perfect condition, bright and
thick. He is an excellent farmer, and
his advice can safely be taken by any
one interested
An article on the subject from the pen
of MIR. Orange Harrington, of Ellisville,
Jones county, will appear shortly, which
deals with the handling of syrup from
Louisiana cane. As is generally known,
Mr.. Herrington is excellent authority on
such subjects. 1t now seems that our
syrup can be kept without a particle of
processing by going into the fields and
placing it in bottles or jars while hot.
If there are parties who are interested,
and will agree to handle as much as 100
quarts or more, in the manner prescribed,
the writer will endeavor to find the mar,
ket for them at good prices, and without
cost to the producer. A uniform label
can be made with a blank for the pro-
dCcer's name, and there is every reason
to believe that in a short time every gal
Ion of Mississippi syrup can be disposed
of at prices far above what is ordinarily
re1iVed for such product. Would like
to hear from those interested
North Mississippi offers unexcelled ad.

'lr. Phillips lived in California and Ari-

Methods that obtain there in truck farm

Wo years ago, bought the small farm he

Ice. The results show for themselves.
He has eight hundred grape vines of

One of our brightest State papers y
ises to let loose the following piece OF n
nth that is worth large circulation:
