In grinding cane you should have

ot cane, the greater will be the

Very few of the small mills extract
more. than so per cent of the juice
in cane, leaving 80 per cent. still in
the cane.
AS the juice comes from the mill it
contains large quantities of coarse
materials that should be removed
before it goes into the evaporating
pans. Thorough straining at this
particular stage is necessary in the
manufacturing of high grade syrup.
AS the juice leaves the mill it should
pass through a close wire screen to
remove the coarse particles and
leaves. Below this should bea close
cloth strainer to catch finer pieces,
and then the juice should pass
through close muslin. These filters
should be stretched on hoops, and
number of them should be kept on
hand, so they can be frequently
changed and cleaned, otherwise they

crossed to a window with every fiber

she pressed the Familiarity addressed

this great blessing is really mine: The
possession of your great, beautiful
heart. Does that sound foolish to
you? Nevertheless, Eunice, it is true.

and to speak the truth at last.

With three local officials actively
employed in Florida, the federal go"-
eminent is seeking to eliminate the
practice if shipping green grape.
fruit from this producing center
which have for many years been
sweated into yellowk color resemb-
ling the ripe product.
Inspectors Marks and McManus
and Chemist Galloway, who took up
the Investigations in the neighboring
State some weeks ago, report very
substantial progress.
Backing Uncle Sam
The State authorities of Florida
as we'll as the Citrus Exchange are
backing the government experts very
strongly in the effort to wipe out the
handling of green grapefruit Here
tofore it has been the practice to
closely pack the green citrus in boxes
and then seal an entire car tightly be-
fore starting the fruit away for the
consuming markets. Refrigerator
cars without ice have always been
employed and these air tight recep-
tacles, delayed as much as possible
ell route, have sweated the fruit to
such an extent that the skin turned
yellow, resembling ripe fruit. The
federal government recently ruled
that the results obtained through
this are within the meaning of the
pure food laws an artificial color
ing and therefore violation of the
pure food and drug act.
Didn't Know Better
Practically all fruit shipped green
IS sent far from the fields of produc-
ton, since at least two weeks is re-
CURED to sweat the yellow color into
the grapefruit. Boston, Denver, St
Louis and numerous of the other
Western cities have consequently
been eating green grapefruit and
thinking all the while they had the
ripe produce. Such is the deception
which Uncle Sam says shall immed-
lately cease.
Copies of the rulings were received
by Dr. w. J. McGee, chemist in
charge of the local pure food labora-
tory, some days ago. Two are were
seized and confiscated recently at
