A Homemade Opera Bag.

A bag for opera glasses makes a very
pretty and useful gift, the illustration
showing one Of very novel style The
model, which came from Paris, can be
easily copied, and would be pretty in al
most any colOring. The bottom of the
bag was cut to follow the outline Of the
glasses. as-shown inVthe- drawing. In the
bag from which the sketch was made this
bottom piece was made Of looking glass,
which was glued to silk-covered, padded
cardboard cut the same shape as the silk
lining the bottom Of the bag.
The bag was made of dark gray suede,
the top above the silk drawstring being
made to look Ike a large pansy. Five
petakshaped pieces OF velvet were cut,
the two larger petals. which were of
light purple. being attached across the
top Of one side of the bag, while three

made Of white velvet tinted with water

In pansy colorings, the darker petals also
being tinted with watercolors.

of a sterilized barrel as described
above can be drawn on, from time to
time, in any desired amount, and the
the empty space filled with sterilized
air in such a way that no danger OF
fermentation is incurred.
Pointing to the significance OF
these results in their relation to the
syrup industry the bulletin proceeds:
THE above points are matters or
primary Importance from an economl-
cal point of view, since they show that
a syrup of this kind can be MADE
without the addition OF any chemicals
of any description, and thus no sub
stance injurious to health is intro
duced into the syrup In the second
place. it is demonstrated that syrup
made in this way may be safely kept
without danger of fermentation until
sold and used. By the application OF
the system of establishing grades of
color described in Bulletin 93,) it is
possible to offer to the trade syrups
of standard color which can be guar
anteed absolutely pure and of the
highest nutritiye and cOndlmentai
properties.
1T seems that the way mas Deen

which promises TO be OF immense
value 10 southern agriculturlsts ana
of the highest utility to the consum-
ers generally throughout the country.
The people of the United States per-
haps more than those OF any other
country use table syrups, and especlaI-
" with hot cakes. which are so pop
ular as a breakfast dish in all parts
of the United States. When such
cakes are made of the same Whole-
sOmeness as the syrUps just described
the result is one Of the most nutrl-
tious and palatable forms OF hot cere-
ais, and it seems only reasonable 10
suppose that such foOG will rapidly IN
crease in popular favor.
Experience has shown that syrup
made from sugarcane can be con-
sumed regularly for a longer period OF
time than any other ordinary syrup
Maple syrup, for instance, though
eagerly consumed at first, soon begins
to pan upon the appetite. To less
degree the same is true OF the mixed
syrups that are made from glucose
and other materials, this being the
form of syrup most constantly used
heretofore disqualification and fer-
mentation have been great drawbacks
in handling cane syrup commercially,
and have been made the justification
for destroying its purity by injecting

into it so-called preservatives to the
utter dissipation of it's most palatable
characteristics. The confidence OF
the department of agriculture that
there is no excuse or reason for a
continuance of these practices, must
give new impetus to syrup produc-
ton in Georgia and Florida where the
improvement in syrup making has
been steadily advancing with in
creased areas in cane.
Practical cane growers have shown
that in Georgia and Florida, an acre
of cane of average yield, manutac-
tured into syrup of high grade, can
be made to yield more profit than five
acres of average yield at ten cents
per pound This is not an argument
for cane against cotton but for diver
sifcation of crops
The next great need for stimulating
cane cultivation in Georgia and Flor
ida is central mills for syrup making,
supplanting the farm mills, just as
the central ginnery has taken the
place of the plantation gin, when
every cane grower ceases to be a
syrup manufacturer and uniformity
in the grade of syrup in large outputs
can be more nearly accomplished and
another drawback TO marketing II
overcome.
The awakened interest in sugarcane
cultivation for syrup making is not
confined to Georgia and Florida, but
both in Alabama and Mississippi large
areas are being planted eacn year and
the demand increases for syrup as its
quality is improved in manufacture.

of the war between the states, 1855,

Both in Georgia and Florida in lat
ter years. sugarcane has been grown
on a small scale over an extensive
area, for syrup-Inaking especially.
This syrup has met with general ia
vor in the markets of the United
States, until, less than a decade ago,
its too hasty preparation and indiffer-
ent packing for the markets so de-
pressed the price that the production
of more syrup, than for farm purposes
seemed a foregone conclusion, when
the matter was taken up as an econ
omic question. and the United States
department of agriculture enlisted in
investigating the decadence of the
syrup industry in the effort to resore
it as a profitable industry, and from

of experiments at its cane syrup plant
at Waycross, Ca, it would seem to
present 1t now as an agricultural in
dustry of the most profitable charac-
ter over the whole cane belt of the
South Atlantic and Gulf States
Of equal importance to the valuable
work of the department of agriculture
has been the enactment of pure food

conditions pure cane syrup has had
