Suggestions For Making Stan
dard Syrup.

In order to get sales for syrup
at fancy price as some of our
farmers have been doing, it is
necessary to observe the follow
ing suggestions in making syrup
First, cane must be fully ma
tured and this comes only after
a heavy frost.
Second. juice must be filtered
and skinned we'll and repeated
ly.
Third, it must be cooked to a
consistency of atleast 81 degrees.
This treatment insures bright
color, rock crystals and best fla
vor, these qualities commanding
high market price.
A Syrup Company has beer
organized for the purpose of en-
larging the syrup industry il
the parish, making a high stan d
ard product and securing a fancy
price for the output.
This seasons crop is being
made on evaporators but instruc
tions have been given for pur,

RAYS BOARD IN JA!L

Tony Brachett is the only man who
ever paid for the privilege of occupy
ing a cell in the Nye County jail. The
tax is not high. but he pays for the
honor, which will send his namedown
to posterity as the one citizen of the
county who Is willing to pay a bonus
for patronizing his home jail, says
the Tonopah Times.
Tony pleaded guilty in the u. s.
circuit court al Carson City to selling
LIQUOR to Indians and was fined 500
and committed to the Ormsby County
jail for the period of so days. Now
IL so happens that Ormsby County
gives Uncle Sam a special cut rate for
boarders, who are paid for at the rate
of rs cents a day. Nye County being
in the heart of the desert cannot af-
ford to compete or to cut union rates
so the price of board is maintained
at one bone a day. Tony did not
relish the idea of doing time at the
capital and ~interceded with Judge
Harrington who sensed the situation
and told the mar from Manhattan
that he could serve Uncle Sam in his
home county by paying the difference
between the Federal contract price
and the usual charge in Nye County.
That is how it happens that Nye Coun-
ty has a prisoner who is paying his
way.
Tony is an honored prisoner. Judge
Harrington was so impressed with his
earnest appeal that he told him to go
and deliver himself up to Sheriff
Thomas. The prisoner drove down
in his own car and appeared at the
| Nye County sheriff's Office late Mon
day afternoon with a request to be
| shown his room.
