of Cuba, which has heretofore Leo
all others. These later analyses
put the Brownsville Country un-
doubtedly in the lead.
Not only is this true of the
amount of pure sugar yielded per
ton of cane raised here, but also
of the amount of cane per acre.
Forty tons is a very conservative
estimate of-the average yield per
acre, and 5000 to 5000 pounds Of
sugar may be counted at the mill
from this tonnage of cane.
Taking into consideration the
comparatively small expense of
cultivation, it can be seen readily
that the profits on, sugar at
Brownsville must be much larger
than elsewhere. One important
item of saving, as compared with
sugar growing in other sections,
is that here cane requires replant-
ing not oftener than once in seven
to nine years, while the Louisiana
and East Texas grower must re-
plant every three years.

Later Analysis
OF BIaIack Cane
Show Even Better Results Than
At First.
Pure SucrOse Yield Increascs-Louisiana
Expert Chemists Figures Prove the
Brownsville County Leads in
Sugar. l

In order to fully test the quality
of the sugar produced at Browns
vile, the practice of having analy-
ses of the cane grown at the Buena
Vista Farm (Blalack plantation)
near Brownsville is being kept up
throughout the season, samples of
cane taken at random in the cane
fields being sent at intervals of
about every two weeks 20 the Loui-
siana sugar experiment station at
Audubon Park, New Orleans, for
analysis by the expert chemist,
Prof. R. E. Blouin, assistant di-
rector of the station. AS readerssof
THE HERALD will remember, the
first analysis, made Dec. 81, which
was published III THK HERALD of
Jan. 10. showed the remarkable
average of 1876 pure sucrose, or
pure sugar, with an average CO.
efficient of purity of 1915, from
four samples, two being of De
marara or D IA and two native
cane. The average result judged
by the foregoing analysis would
give, on a conservative basis,
221.52 pounds of sugar per ton of
cane, and at the average produc-
ton of 40 tons of cane per acre,
which is very low estimate, the
Blalack plantation having run
higher than that, the result would
be no less than SS6O.SO pounds Of
sugar per acre. This THE HERALD
is assured is a very conservative
estimate.
LATEST ANALYSIS
The last two analyses made ot
Lcane from Buena Vista Farm show
even better results than the fore
going, the amount of sucrose yield
naturally increasing as the cane
becomes more matured. The re
suits of these analyses are as fol
lows:

Stage Readiness.

The London Echo gives the following
anecdote from foreign contemporary ::
Colbert, the French actor, whose spe-
cialty was the impersonation of Napol-
con l., was troubled with an infirmity
OF memory, in consequence of which all
letters handed to him to be read on
the stage had really to contain the
words he was to deliver. In some mill
tary piece or other the Emperor had
to receive a letter from his adjutant
and read it aloud TO his assembled of
ficers. A certain Gautier, the wag of
the theater, acted the adjutant, and
one evening, instead of giving Colbert
the written letter, he handed him
blank sheet of paper. The actor took

slime for Dairy Cows.

Good dairymen have found that silos
which will hold 200 tons of silage can
be built for $500, and that with the
grain, dry feed and pasture this will
carry twenty cows through the year,
Giving thirty to forty pounds per day
of silage. Alfalfa hay or clover should
be a part of the ration to supply the
protein, or as another puts 1t:
"Silage and bran fed in morning, fol-
lowed by a feed Of clover or alfalfa
hay. with another feed of slage and
bran in the evening with a feed of
clover hay the last thing at night, is
the feeding plan of many successful
dairyman."
Some of the most successful dairy
farmers have adopted the plan Of hav-
ing their cows freshen In the fall from
September to November. The advan-
tage of this plan is that the best flow
of milk is then secured during the win
ter when prices of butter and cream
are higher than at any other time.
Then again, if they be turned out to
pasture in spring and early summer
the fresh feed will increase the flow
OF milk for two or three months, then
they may be dried off during the last
half of July, and during the period
when pastures are bad and the milk
flow is naturally the smallest they
will be resting from their labors. Skill
in handling the COW will add 10 to 20
per cent to her returns during the
wear"

Soil Protectors.

Green crops. such as rye and Grim
son clover. save loss of valuable fer
tilizer In the soil, for the reason that
they act as a covering in winter, and
also because, through the agency Of
their roots they retain plant food that
would be lost to the soil which 1t is
exposed to the effects Of rain and melt
ing SHOWS. They are grown at a season
of the year when the land is not re-
.quired for other crops. and, unlike red
clover. they can be seeded in the fall,
being ready as green manurial crops
when the farmer desires the land for
corn. Rye makes not only early spring
pasture. but is also a late pasture crop
in the fall. 1t is the last green food
that disappears before winter and the
first to come In the spring, and is also
one of natures soil protectors. 1t is
true that If the farmer plows the rye
under he will have no grain or straw,
but outside Of the cost of the seed and
preparing the ground, the rye crop
costs almost nothing. 1t Is not as de-
sirable crop for mannrial purposes
as crimson clover. but many farmers
find it excellent. however. If straw
is an object, rye will be generous, az
the farmer can use rye for grazing pur-
poses and also secure crop Of straw
and grain later. Within the past quar-
ter of a century it has been demon
strated that the saving of plant food
In the soil by the use of winter coverers
is an important item alone. and nature
always aims to cover the soil as a pro-
lection. 1t Is a fact. also well known.

100000 to only 100000 acres That

there were ninety acres under wheat

of rye, 262 acres in 1900, against S1S
