TASTE FOR SWEETS.
Portland oregonian,

The American nation has taste for
sweets that seems TO be insa table,
Like other tastes to which prosperity
caters, it grows by what It feeds upon.
The average consumption OF sugar per
capita In the United States last year
was seventy-tye pounds. In two de-
cades the importation Of sugar has
doubled, and Its consumption has in
creased until now one.half of the cane
product OF the world finds It's way m
10 American commerce. This means
cake and candy for the millions, and
sugar IN everybody's coffee, not to
mention syrup upon everybody's hot
cakes for breakfast. The domestic
crop OF 1904 represents 1,l67, 2I0, $50
pounds, an amount that staggers con-
ception either of bulk or weight,

GETTING CLOSE TO THE sToRK


Many substances have been employed
IN turn for making sutures IN surgery.
Such substances need TO possess pecu-
llar properties. which are not readily
found lately IN American phys ian,
Dr. G. T. Kleffer has recommended a
new material OF this Kind, the tendons
OF the legs OF cranes and heronS His
experiments have shown that these
tendons are particularly we'll suited for
surgical use. They form excellent llg-
atures. and are readily absorbed after
the wound has healed, A writer In a

on Dr. KiefTer's experiments, remarks

for him to make his own
spray solution. The farmer has two
serious difficulties to contend with in
preparing spray solution, one is the
varying strength of the lime and the
sulphur and the other is the impos-
sibility of getting up sufficient heat
in an open tank to SO melt the sui
phur az to form a perfect chemical
nnion with lime Lime varies
greatly in it's strength and that that
contains high per cent of magne sis
and other minerals is of little value in
spray solution, or requires more per
pound of sulphur to secure the proper
chemical union. But it is the sulphur
that causes the greatest trouble to the
farmer in the manu- fscture of spray
solution. If he buys it in the natural
state it is almost certain to contain
from FIVE to 20 per cent Of some form
of rock. II he buys the prepared flour
sulphur he is likely to get an adulter-
ated article unless he buys high
priced, fancy brand. The farmer
buying in small quantities seldom
gets two lots of either lime or sui ph ur
of the same strength and having no
way of testing the strength has to 90
by guess in mixing them in the
preparation of his solution, with the
sequence of at picking season finding
that he has but little strictly first
class fruit that brings the fancy price.
1t has been fully demonstrated that
the solution cooked in an open vat
does not have the strength Of that
prepared in closed retort and under
high pressure of steam to thoroughly
melt the sulphur This with the
labor and worry Of preparing it and
the uncertainty Of its strength makes
the preparing of spray solution on the
farm an expensive undertaking. To
import spray solution means that out
of every So paid for freight S2 is
for water. of which there is plenty
here in Rogue River Valley free for
the taking. To have factory estab-
lished in Grants Pass appears to be
the most economical to the fruit
growers. To that end Inspector Me.
serve has taken up the proposition
with parties in Grants. Pass who have
the capital to fit up the plant and to
buy the materials by the car load.
The arrangements are all but COM
pleted and only await the receipt of
technical instructions, which Mr..
Meserve has sent for, as to the ma
chinery and construction of the plant
and the method Of mixing and cook

ing the solution. The solution Will
be of the highest efficiency and to see
that it is Inspector Meserve will send
samples from time to time to the
AgI icultural College to have it tested.
The solution will bs keptsin stock IN
tanks SO that farmers can bring their
barrels and have them filled at any
time. The price will be the lowest
possible and be such that it will be
cheaper for the fruit raisers to buy
their spray solution than to make IT,

to that effect can re made next week.
