The heaviest itemi of expense is foi at crishing mill. Primitive farmers constructed this out of two logs set vertically in bearings as rollers, with a sweep attached 'to one, so that it could be turned by a horse or mule. The modern mills have two or more rollers, set vertically or horizontally. They mlay be driven either by horse power or a motor. The juice is run ofl t hrough a trough into a tank and the hagasse or refuse fiber is taken away on a carrier. Bagasse is some times used for fuel, but more often spread on the ground for fertilizer. Cows will browse upon it and get some nourishment. They should not be permitted to eat too much at first. Bagasse mixed with varying percent ages of cottonseed meal, molasses, etc., has also been used as a dry dairy feed. In crushing cane care should be taken to adjust the rollers to the Iate at which the cane is fed. Juice ob tained by moderate pressure is better than when impurities from the rind and points are extracted. Chemical Clarifiers Troublesome The juice is permitted to stand in tanks to allow impurities to settle. If there are facilities to heat the settling tank the process will be quicker. Coarse yellow plastic clay is some times used. The settling tank may be swung so as t opermit pouring juice off at the top, or cocks may be arrang ed to 0-'.'.: it off and leave the sedi ment. . .eal clarifiers unless used with great skill are liable to discolor the sirup. The simplest boiling apparatus is the old iron kettle swung over the fire. Series of kettles are also used and the partially concentrate.: product ladled from one to aniothcr. Kettle boiling requires extreme care to keep the pro duct from burnim, and the kettle needs to be cleaned after two or three charges. A regular evaporating pan is much superior. Such pans permit a shallow stream of juice to zigzag be tween cross strips having the openings at alternate ends, so that the raw ntat( s of unden every pondi work, and put to >wners during the rds;on Tractor has made for it. rmn task--whether owing, threshing, - feed, pumping uliling stumps, fill e many other jobs Fordson will not but quicker, easier :ififerent time and -i which the Ford ou OWe it to your Come in and see or phone for the Py Jan. 1st. t hesitate buy --------16c -------12%c -------$4.98 U. tent Store, VING, South Carolina clarified juice runs in over the fire (oor and the finished sirup flows out near the chimney. Impurities should be skimmed off as they appear in boil ing. These skimmings make good feed for hogs unless unhealthful sub stances have been used in clarification. One of the most difficult tasks in sirup manufacture is to remove the impuri ties. The thicker the sirup the longer these take to settle and the harder it is to filter them out. Some makers prefer to boil to a comparatively thin sirup, pass it through a filtering me dium, and then reboil to he proper densiy. The finished sirup should contain at least 70 per cent of solids and not more than 30 per cent water, which gives it a weight of about 11 1-4 lbs. to the gallon, when at the tempera ture of 60 Fahrenheit. Water at the sea level, under ordinary conditions, boils at 212, and sirup to give the re quired density boils at 223.7 under the same conditions. Altitude and other factors lower the boiling point, and the rule followed by sirup makers is to finish sirup at a boiling point 12 to 13 higher than that of water. The other method is by the hydrom eter, an instrument which floats in the liquid and shows the density by a graduated scale on Its surface. Di rections for use are usually inclosed with the instrument when purchased. This instrument is also used by cus tom manufacturers to show the sugar content of raw juice. Filters May Be Used When the sirup has reached its re quired density it should be quickly re moved from the fire and cooled. If skimming and filtering has not been carefully done during the boiling pro eess there will be impurities remain ing which are difficult of removal. Most of this substance will settle to the bottom if the sirup is allowed to stand for a time. Sand, asbestos, and excelsior filters also are used. Sorghum sirup customarily is mar keted in tin containers with screw tops. The cans should be thoroughly scalded before using. The United States Department of Agriculture has made extensive stu (lies in sorghium sirup manufacture aind] Farmers' Bulletin 477, on that subject, will be found useful to any one undertaking the business. It will be sent free on application to the de partienit. --- o BOLL WEEVIl.

With that thought in view the Squad will visit centers in every state in the Southeast ahd before the dam paign is concluded, every cotunty in the section will ke coverde. It-is be-: lieved that by bringing this opp6rtun ity right to the doors of the veterans every man entitled to compensation, will get it and get it speedily. The Squad furnishes the big oppor tunity for the veteran to have straightened out all his difficulties of compensation and vocational training and medical treatment right at home. It is, as well, the chance of many to find out if they have claims and if they have, to get them filed properly, so that response will be satisfactory ad(] iimedi ate. To reduce trouble, (elay, and ex pense to a minimum, the Squad will furnish each disabled veteran, who re ports at squad headquarters, with transportation back home and meals and lodging until his business is com pleted. While the squad is here, it will take up in. addition to the affairs of local veterans, the affairs of ex-service men in Lee, Sumter, Clarendon, and Ker shaw. Bring your discharge and all gov ernment correspondence concerning any claim previously made by you. 0 WORLD WAR VETERANS, NOTICE When the clean up squad reaches Sumter at Court House on September, 28th to get action on the claims of veterans of the World War, its big gest problem will be to get in touch with every ex-service man in this ter ritory, who has a right to government al compensation. The squad is composed of experts from the various government bureaus, the Red Cross and the American Le gion. They are familiar in every de tail with the workings of the War Risk Insurance Act, and various fea tures of the dicerent plans of hospital treatment, medical care and rehabili tation work in general. As soon as they establish personal touch with the veterans, they are prepared to put machinery in motion at once to get ror them what is coming to them from the government. In this work they [lave every assurance of whole hearted co-operation by the authorities in Washington. The plan of campaign of the Squad contemplates the avoidance of leng :hy c6rrespondence and annoying, time killing red tape, by getting at first hnad all information as to each indi vidual veteran's case and the ma hinery is well oiled to get results rmce it is put in motion. However, the greatest problem that confronts the workers is the estab lishment of personal contact with the men they would serve. Many of the veterans, in lots of cases, those most deserving of government aid, are il literates. They (on't understand even the meaning of "compensation," "re habilitation" and 'vocational training,' Many are located in isolated districts where a newspaper is rarely seen. These men w ould be tremendously anxious to get the benefits of the aid that the government is glhd to give, if they knew that the Squad is right At their doors to get it for them. For this reason, the members of the Squad ask that everyone who knows 1f an ex-service man who may be en titled to aid, get in touch with him andt inform him i as to whcn and where the Squad will be, and] as to what the Squad is anxsious to do for him. Squad headquarters will be glad to receive any information as to any veteran and will use every energy to get in touch w~ith him during its stay in Sumter it Court lIous.. Disabled vetoranis who report to sqiuadl headquarters will lbe furnishe'd withI t ransportatlion hack home and meaIs aindl lodgiing as long as they hav'e business wvit h the clen iiup caim paiiign. It is necessary for every v'et 'ian to b rinig along h1is d ischarige. In a.blition to local cases, the squad will take up the affairs and claims of' veterans of ILee, Stunmter, Clarendon, and Kersha x while in Sum ter.
