CoRN-sTALK SUGAH.-Wc have taken
occasion frequently heretofore, to call the
attention Of farmers to the subject OF the
manufacture Of Sugar from corn-stalks:
we shall continue TO press the subject up
on the attention Of the enterprising far
mers of this county; believing it to be no
visionary thing, but matter Of great i'm
portance in pecuniary point of view
The testimony which is being given from
a great variety of sources, ofthe practical
biitv as we'll as the Profit Of the manufac-
ture, is Of character entitled to the high
est consideration. We hope our friends
at Burlington who made some experiments
last wear with some degree Of success will
renew their experiments the present. sea-
son. Much additional information as to
the process Of manufacture has been gained
since last year from the numerous expert
ments which have been made in different
sections OF the country.

itor Of an Ohio paper, may serve to be use

Friend l. A. Thomas-In reply to thy
letter, may state, that so far as my ex-
pericnce in making sugar from corn-stalks
extends, it goes to confirm, in general,
what has been published on the subject:
lst. the neccssitv of close planting-the
rows, say, two and half feet apart, and
the plants in the row, not more than two
or three inches apart. 2nd, 1t is essential
that the young ears should be taken off

Immediately aph rapidly ovaporated. Be-
fore boiling the Juice, it was passed through
a flannel straincr. Milk of lime was then
added in the proportion Of one table spoon
full to the gallon. Ii was then placed over
The fire, and brought nearly to the boiling
point, when it was carefully skinned; if
after this the Juice was not clear, it was
again strained ia small portion Of lime

PROGRESS OF MANUFACTURES.

PROGRESS Or. MANU- Az y hEO.
1t is stated on good authority that YES
sci cleared lately at Boston for London
with four hundred bales of drillings on
board, which are believed to be the first
American cotton fabricks sent to England.
A little more than twenty years ago, all
the cotton goods used in the United States,
were manufactured in England; but such
has been the wonderful progress Of manu-
features in this country, that not only
supply sufficient for home use is now made
but goods Of American manufacture are
being shipped to England and also to Chi
ma. The same article which sold in this
country for twenty cents per yard before
the establishment Of our manufactures now
sells for eight cents. The city of Lowell
which little more than twenty years ago
had no existence, now completes with Man
chester and the greatest manufacturing
towns Of Great Britain. The history Of
past ages does not furnish parallel Of
such rapid advancement as this. No where
else on earth could such giant strides in
manufactures and commerce have been
made-it is only where the energies of
free people have been permitted to act w.
trammeled, and where the hand Of the 60
vernment has not rested heavily on the Ia
boring classes.
The restrictive policy of England in pro-
hibting the Importation of our products Of
agriculture, in exchange for manufactures.
has undoubtedly contributed much to build
up American manufactures. The people
Of the United States have been measurably
forced to produce their own goods in con-
sequence Of the high duties Great Britain
has placed upon American wheat and flour
England now suffers from the results which
have grown out Of her prohibtory policy.
She now talks of abolishing our corn.aws.
and admitting our p roducts free Of duty;
but even should she do this, she c.nnot ex
pcct again to become the suppler of our
American markets with cotton and wooden
goods. 1t IS too late 10 retieye her Tor
tunes in this respect.
Notwithstanding all that has been said
and written about the necessity of High |
Tariff, as being indispensable to sustain our
American manufactures, we have in the
present condition Of or manufacturing in
terests practical demonstration, that du- |
ties Of prohibitor character, are by no
means necessary TO the existancc and pros
perity Of our manufacturing establishments
1t is hazardin5 but little TO say that Amer
lean fabrick, will in few years supplant
the English in the markets Of the world.
The tact, he ingenuity. and taste Of our
artisans, and above all the comparative
lightness Of taxation. will enable them to
make better and cheaper article, than
even England, with her pauper and half
paid population.

All hail ye farmers, young and old;
Push on your plow with courage bold

And every man procure plow.

ORNAMENTAL TREES This is the sea-
son of the year for setting out these beau
tiful and tasteful ornaments. and no time
should be lost by our citizens who wish to
improve their walks and gardens. No
thing renders the scenery of village more
inviting than shade trees tastefuly arrang-
ed Nor should farmers neglect this sea-
son OF the year in making good beginning
by way of an orchard Of fruit trees:-a
year lost in the growth of an orchard, is a
loss often too lightly estimated. The COM
fort and convenience of a farm are greatly
enhanced by an orchard of fruit trees.

IMPORTANT TO FARMERs.-HartM pssc,

IMPORTANT TO FARMERs.-Hart Messy
Esq. Of this village. took small portion Of
the seed corn with which he planted field.
and soaked il into solution Of salt nitro.
commonly called salpctre. and planted five
rows with the seed thus prepared Now for
the result; the five rows planted with corn
prepared with salfpetre yielded more than
20 rows planted without eny preparation;
the five rows were untouched BY the worm,
while the remainder Of the field suffered
severely from their depreciation
We should Judge that not one kernel sa-
turated with sa'tpetre was touched by the
worm, while almost every hill in the adoi-
ming field suffered severely. No one who
will examine the field can doubt the ef7ica
cy OF the preparation. He will be aston
ished at the striking difference between
the five rows Of corn and the remainder
Of the field.
Here is a simple fact, tina. if seasonabIy
known, would have saved thousands Of
dollars to the farmers Of this county alone
in the article of corn. At all events tho
experiment should be extensively tested ~
the results are deemed certain, while the
expense Is comparatively nothing.
