Wrong Proportions.

A wealthy Illinois farmer, one of a
number, perhaps, has a habit of in
vesting some Of his surplus money in
South Dakota chattel mortgage paper.
He recently visited one of the Lake
county (South Dakota) banks, where
he is we'll acquainted, and bought
quite bunch of this paper from the
bank. In looking over what they had
to offer, he came to a note secured
by mortgage on eleven horses and
one COW, all the live stock owned by
the farmer who had given the note.
81 won't touch it," he declared,
"Why," said the cashier of the bank,
"he is one of the best fellows in the
bunch"
makes no difference" was the re-
ply. eff it were eleven COWS and one
horse I'd take it in minute"
And that ended it. The story is
true and the lesson plain-Farm

They Go Together.

Good tillage of the land and i'm
proved live stock go together. The
scrub and slovenly agriculture are
ever found together.
Fine breeding is a big item, but
there is no doubt that much of the
breed is in the corn crib.
The hnely-bred animal can be con-
verified into scrub by neglect; the
best we have has been made by a
long course Of care and foresight.
All this means study and determine
ton. The breeder must steadily do
as he sees should be done. He must
select and discard 1t is likely. that
sacrifices will have to be made. The
temptation to sell the best and keep
the worst will have to be resisted by
all who would continue on the rising
grade in this service-Home & Farm.

Great Future of Florida Cane Syrup.

The making Of syrup, rather than of
sugar, is one of the most promising
industries which is open to the Florida
farmer. A correspondent of the Pen
sacola Journal says:
Perhaps few of your many intel
1igent readers realize the full scope
of the pure food law" now in force.
And, like the workings of many other
measures passed by congress or our
state legislature, we have only time to
consider that which Immediately con-
Germs us or Our business. And so it
is with the writer. The sugar cane
industry in West Florida has been
brought before your readers by this
correspondent, more frequently than
many relish, but its Importance as a
relief from an over-production of cot
ton for our southern farmers, and a
safe and sure crop, far better than

Of the west, for those who would
come to Florida leads us to continue
our writings and demonstrations.
providence often does better for a
people, as we'll as an individual, than
that people or that individual would
do for themselves; and SO it seems to
be working for the sugar cane grow
ers of West Florida. We have all been
longing, and working, for the day
and time when we could interest capt.
tai for building one or more centrl-
fugal sugar factories in West Florida,
and the theory that our cane was too
heavy and too rich in glucose to be
made into syrup. And at some time
fully twenty per cent richer in sugar
content than that Of Louisiana, all OF
which is largely true, and to. obvlate
the tendency to granulate there are
springing up in several southern CEN
tiers Syrup refneries" which intend
to "blend" glucose, or corn syrup,
with the pure Florida and Georgia
syrup, and thus brighten the color
and prevent granulation. This defect
in our syrups is now-by virtue of
the pure food lava browning glory
of our cane, and will inure to us, as
much as to our advantage, as does
that of Our gold mine whose ore
turns twenty per cent more OF pure
gold than another.
"The fact is we can grind our cane
and simply boil and skim it and boil
to a uniform consistency, say thirty
four degrees, and have the only syrup
made from cane in the south that is
"strictly pure" under the pure food
law.
ct is currently stated that much Of
that made this season in Louisiana,
with the use of lime, sulphur and
other clarifying materials, has been
rejected by the pure food commits
sioner. Whether that be true or not
it is fact that DR.. w. S. Wiley,
chief Of the bureau of chemistry, at
Washington, D. c., has an article in
the Louisiana Sugar Planter of JAN
uary, in which he sets out at length,
the different kinds of syrup used by
our American people, land made in Our
different states and the conclusion of
the whole statement, not only lndi
Gates the policy of the pure food COM
missioner, but says in unmistakable
language that the Florida sugar cane
grower has before him the grandest
future Of any agricultural industry in
the United States, and under the
workings of the pure food law, we
need no longer want sugar factories
but big and little syrup factories, and
the more the better.

for buyers hereafter"

Possibilities in Farming for Young
Men

Possibilities in Farming for Young
Men.
The following editorial, from the
I Mirror and Farmer, gives good en-
couragement for young men to stay
8 on the farm:
It requires energy and brains to
succeed III any occupation, and farm
ing is no exception to this rule.
Without these qualities only lndiffer-
ent success will be achieved in any
occupation. There are thousands Of
young men upon the farms today who
are asking themselves and asking
others whether they had better make
farming a life business or fit them
selves for something else, recognlz-
ing the fact that preparation is neces-
sary for success in any industry or
profession away from the farm. Some
Of these are really expecting to be-
come farmers because they will have
the old homestead left to them, and
yet even they are wondering whether
with the old farm given them they
would not be better off financially and
every other way by leaving it, the care
of the aged parents being really the
magnet that holds them upon the
farm. 49,
There may have been a time in the
past when we would have had some
hesitancy in answering such a ques
ton as is implied in the foregoing
statement, but none whatever now
The conveniences have been added
so rapidly to farm life in recent years
in the matter of transportation and
communication, the opportunities for
learning the latest developments in
agricultural science are SO great, and
the popularity of farm life has been
SO enhanced that there is no difficulty
in determining the fact that the farm
is the best place for young men to
settle if they have some liking for the
business. If it is diagreeable and
irksome they had better seek some
other occupation, for no person ever
succeeds in a business that he does
not like.
So far as the financial returns are
concerned there is as good induce
ment, as the average record of men
in other occupations indicates, there,
and the absolute assurance of the
most Independent and healthfu1 life
known in the world In addition to
these things there is the further sat
isfaction of knowing that ones sue
cess is dependent upon ones own eff
forts and that the field for the exer-
else of energy and ability is unlimited.
There is some satisfa ction in the fact
that young farmer with good health
has in the possession Of his farm that
for which thousands of business and
professional men would gladly ex-
change all their possessions.
