Sugar Culture in, Illinois. !. ;.

A communication in the Grayvlle, Ills,
Herai a signed J N. Grow, and dated Nc
C~ 1rBiuf, Wabash county, Ills, makes
>wibg interesting statements respect
{ ng his success in the culture of the chinese
oagar cane: r
"on the 25th Of May planted about half
an acre of ground, one year old. fA portion
OF the soil was low and wet in the sprifs
| in fact I covered the seed with mud the
other part was high and sandy the conse-
quence was, when the dry SEASON set in the
wet part baked hard, and the high burnt up
for want of rain. ploughed, it when about
ten inches high, and that was all the working
it got, with the exception of as light hoeing
previous to plougbing my object was to as
certain the amount of saccharine matter corr
tanned in the stalks, and supposed enough
would grow to make the experiment Many
! of the stocks grew from sixteen to twenty
feet high, lin the low ground it only grew
twelve feet.) Having made mill on which
to grind it, i commenced on the oath Of Sep
tember. The cane then received two or three
frosts, which slightly injured the taste Of the
water. am convinced that the amount Of
stalks l used can be grown on less than a
quarter Of an acre. The amount Of water OBJ
tanned from the piece was 270 gallons. from
which / made forty-fve gallons, which, in
flavor and beautiful bright red color, is far
superior to any molasses obtained from the
South. / did not try to grain any of it, as it
will not grain after being frosted but i am
convinced there will be no difficulty in
granting it, if tried previous to frost. If it is
planted by the middle Of May, it will ripen
by the end of August, and remain in good
condition until frost; aud if cut up and put
10 sheds lin apprehension Of frost) it will
keep well for a month or more.
Il will give statement Of what may be
made per acre, judging from the amount of
water obtained from each stalk. One Of my
neigLbors, Mr. "A. began, obtained from
seven choice stalks one gallon Of water, and
10 another trial made by Mr. McCleary, Sr.
and myself we pressed from ten stalks one
gallon and quart. The number of stalks in
a hill should be from four to six. In my cal
culations only estimate one quart Of water
to the hill, allowing sixteen hills per square
rod which will make 1850 bills TO the acre,
and this at one quart per bill, will make 640
gallons of water, which will make II gallons
Of molasses. Valued at 75c per gallon, it
would amount to S82 SO per acre. and | DO
not hesitate in saying that the amounts may
be doubted. ! would urge upon the farmers
Of the Western country to try it. You will
not only save, but make money by the opera
ton | will convinced that in 1860 the south
erh planter will have no sale for his sugar in
tue ctutc vr Ii:InUIo. L rom present nu!ca-
tions there will be 100 acres raised in Wabash
county next year. which will savethe county
$4,000. The time to commence working
the cane is when the seeds have changed from
green to dark red hue, although it will re-
main good until fairly matured."

LINE WITH MANURE,-In replyto an inqui-
ry from correspondent as TO the Propriety
Of mixing lime with manure, the Country
Gentleman says Our own experience is,
that lines tends rather to preserve than to
destroy vegetable fibre, Lime whitewash
invariably prevents wood from decaying..-
Ashes, on the other hand, softens it. We
do not think the quantity applied TO manure
heaps would exert much influence in this way
in either direction Fermentation eats mp
vegetable fibre best; and several inches of
soil over the heap will keep enriching vapors
In applying lime to manure, we would recom-
mend it to be in connexion with copious ap-
plications of turf loan or muck.
