nearly every instance, but especially
is it so in the case of the Columbia
Canning Co. This concern was or
ganized about IL years ago. 1t finally
developed upon two men to run the
concern, ]. J. Wilson and Horace
Rainey, and how well they have con-
Quoted the business will be told in
the following paragraphs.
Messrs Wilson and Rainey have
just completed contract with a
large manufacturing concern to in
stall for them large sorghum syrup
mill and refinery. This plant will
have daily capacity Of ESQ gallons of
the manufactured syrup per day,
which can be doubled to twice that
amount by working double shifts and
running at night.
To make this a success Messrs Will
son and Rainey first secured high
grade of sorghum seed which they
will give to the farmers who will
guarantee to plant them, and deliver
the cane at their mill this fall at
making time. They will either make
the syrup on the shares or buy the
raw cane at so many dollars per ton,
delivered.
They have also commenced the
making of contracts for the planting
Of large acreages of cane. All along
the Nashvill, Chattanooga & st. Louis
railroad, up into Marshal and over
into Bedford county they are making
contracts, the cane to be loaded on
cars and hauled to the plant.
When this cane is delivered at the
plant, if a farmer wants the cane
made up on the shares, he can take
the syrup back with him, or he can
get the cash for the cane as soon as
IL is uellVeTeu.
The mill that has been purchased
by this enterprising manufacturing
establishment will have a most Won
derful capacity for crushing the raw
Juice from the cane, in fact the mill
is so powerful that it has the capacity
of twenty-five horse power. and when
the bagasse, or pumice, passed be-
tween the great rollers it will be as
dry as powder and will pass on into
the furnace and consumed for the
purpose of cooking the syrup. The
mill will extract twenty per cent
more syrup from the stalk than the
old fashioned horse power mill will
extract.
With the addition of this sorgum
mill to the plant will mean employ
ment Of ten more men, with an in
creased pay roll of something around
800 per week, and il it becomes
necessary to operate at night it will
mean twice that amount.
Sorghum syrup is a great food, and
is so considered by the government,
but not only is 1t great food, but
it is also q good money making crop
for the farmers.

Assistance in Marketing.

There Is no secret in making good
butter. With proper care and atten-
ton 10 details good butter can be made
IN any home. The quality of the but
ter is dependent upon the Intelligent
use Of equipment rather than the kind,
although suitable equipment Is time
saving and labor-saving and can be
purchased or made at nominal cost.
MIX vessels should be of high-grade
tin with all Joints and seams smoothly
soldered so that there will be no crew
ices in which dirt may accumulate.
A convenient milk can TO use Is the
three-gsllon shotgun can. II should
have smooth. heavily timed interior
to prevent rusting and difficulty in
cleaning. All butter-making equipment
should be thoroughly scrubbed with
brush in hot water containing sal soda
or washing powders. Never use dish
cloth or soap. inexpensive stiff fiber
scrub brushes or vegetable brushes
can be purchased at any grocery or
hardware store. After equipment is
washed II should be scalded or
steamed. A homemade ster.lizer will
be found most convenient and helpful.
Never Touch With Bare Hands.
A medium-sized dipper strainer with
a fine-meshed gauze has been found
to be very satisfactory. 1t should be
smooth and free from seams. Butter
should not be touched or handled with
the bare hands. II Injuries the quality
of the butter and Is very insanitary.
Wooden ladies can be easily whitfield
from maple. ash. or poplar. or bought
at small cost A thermometer Is alb
solutely essential to successful butter
second only to keeping equipment
clean. A floating dairy thermometer
can be ordered from any dairy supply
company.
In making butter the salt should be
uniformly distributed and the granuies
pressed together into a close-grained
mass and the surplus water worked
out. This can be most easily accom-
plished by use Of q V-shaped lever
butterworker made Of one-inch mate
