bubbly brew

when I rack my brew from carboy to the primary to mix it with the priming
sugar to bottle it, I am getting alot of foaming in the line, I'm using a
racking cane with the tip on it, and a siphon hose of the proper size. when
the brew comes up through the cane there is no bubbles in it, and where the
hose hooks onto the cane I make sure there is no airbubble there. but about
half way down the siphon line there is some bubbles forming. there is no
holes in the siphon hose. but when I get all the brew into the primary,
there is probably 3 inches of foam on the top. I'm worried that imp losing
alot of my beer fizz with this foaming, does any one have any ideas on how
to reduce this problem? thanks
