ghum syrup knows that scum ia
ken off the boiling juice was orig
inally impurities ia the cane juice.
But few people think OF the amount
unayoidably left in the finished pro-
duct
! The Bureau of Chemistry United
States Department OF Agriculture, has
made experiments to determiue meth
DDS of making better article than
is made by the ordinary boiling aud
skimming. All the information is
given in Farmers Bulletin No. 1855,
and in Bureau OF Chemistry Circular
No. /.
The writer made a simple experiment
in 1907, while making syrup in the
common way, by boiling In a wood
en- vat with galvanized sheet-iron bot
, tom. 49,. 49,. ~.
Two lots of common red clay, one
q little redder than the other, we've
LSed. 1t was carefully crumbled up,
and all gravel and other Objectionable
matters were removed. After being
made into soft batter small quanti-
ties were placed in bottles, and
pint or less of juice taken from the
vat just before the boiling point was
reached was poured into each bottle
and thoroughly shaken.
In few minutes the clay settled
and carried down with IT a great deal
of the impurities, leaving the juice
much clearer. The lighter colored
clay seemed to clear the juice better,
and didn't seem to stain It, as did
the redder clay. .
The last vat of Juice was skinned
just before the boiling point was reach
ed and poured off into tubs. Thin
clay mud of the lighter color was i'm
mediately poured into the tubs, at
the rate OF one gallon to twenty gal
Ions Of hot Juice, and thoroughly stir
ed, In about one hour and a half this
had settled evry we'll; but in pouring
off the juice some sediment was dis
turbed and mixed up with the Juice,
but in cooking practically all this
came out In skimming. This syrup |
was entirely different from all the |
rest, in color and clearness, and es-
pecially in flavor. It also seems to
keep better. This is only a small
part Of the process described by the
Bureau OF Chemistry in the above
mentioned publications.
Sorghum syrup Is so common an ar
ticle Of food on the farm that more
care and attention could no doubt,
be profitably given its manufacture.

EARL BURGESS co.
 ARRIVE IN GLOBE
The Trip Was Mad in Safety and All Hands Enjoyed 1t Immensely.

Roy Buck returned yesterday morn- ing from Globe, to which place he and Mir. Parry transported the Earl Bur gess company. MT. Parry took the baggage and MT Buck the company The former will be back in the course of day or two as he took as he took a little more time on the road.
 Mir Buck says the story printed in an evening paper a few nights ago to the effect that his team got away from him between Roosevelt and Globe and precipitated a part of the company to- gether with the wagon over the edge of precipice, was somewhat in error. The only accident of any kind he had on the whole trip was one in which only himself and two horses were con- cerned, and there was no serious con- sequences though one horse was some what crippled up.
 The party left Tempe immediately after the performance at the Goodwin opera house a week ago Wednesday night. Good progress was made and the first rig, driven by MT Buck and conveyingd the company, reache RoOeevelt Friday afternoon. The wagon of baggage was some miles in

The man who engaged the vehicle gave his name as Smith and paid four days hire for the rig in advance.
 When the parry arrived at Tempe en route to Cave Creek the members were in a hilarious mood. and either at that point or later evidently became con fused in regard to the road leading to the creek. as when last heard from they we're at Government Wells, and gave out the information there that they were journeying to Globe. and also made the same statement on their arrival at Roosevelt Wednesday even ing A telephone message was sent t1 the authorities at that place to hold the men and team until the arrival of Deputy Adams, who will take the men in custody.

The 1O3 pages in only a part of the complete book, designed after the mt%. Her of a book agents prospectus to show the character of the work, the binding and the contents. The purpose is to get it before the people before it is published that there may be a fi- nancial support of the project, as lib- eral as possible. The souvenir will be about the finest thing of the sort ever printed for such purpose. The illustrations are the best of art and the text matter is fully descriptive of the southwest and every section of it. The Albuquerque management proposes to furnish a copy free to each delegate to the irrigation congress. It has been literally supported by advertisers, chiefly in New Mexico, but still the re- ceipts from this source will fall far short of the expense of publication which will be many thousands of dol lars as the edition is not only expen- sive, but will be large. It is hoped that every section of the southwest will respond by cash contributions to the board of control to help pay for this expense as a recognition of appre- ciation of the advertising given. Those interested can see the sample copy by calling at the board of trade.

LEAVES FOR TRIP TO YUMA.

During his absence Mir. Maddox will pay particular atten- tion to the work now in progress there under the direction of the U. s. rec lamation service and the country which comes under the irrigation projects.
 It is understood that MT. Maddox is very favOrably impressed with what he has already seen of this section of the southwest, and may possibly locate somewhere in the valley in the near future. Since coming here he has made number of side trips through different sections of the valley. He will be absent for several days, or, perhaps longer.

This was done simply because of the fact that there had been changes made in the schedule fathletic sports; how ever, the other events, namely, the ball game between the fats and the leans, and the race between the doc tors. and the relay race between the married and unmarried men will all have their place in the days contest. and will be a part of the features of the exercises to be held in the after noon of that day.
 The committee in charge urges the ladies of the different places to get in readiness for the basket ball game. of which the winning side will be award ed loving cup.
 It has been decided by the M. I. A. officers and the committee on arrange ments that in order to obtain the best results the prize loving cups must be won by the same association or team at two successive meets at the annual field day contest under the auspices of the M. I. A.
