SUBSTITUTE roR SUGAR CANE.--A substitute
for the sugar cane has been introduced into
the country, seeds of which have been dis
sributed through the Patent Office. 1t is O
Chinese plant, and has been employed in
that country for centuries in the making OF
sugrr. 1t has received some attention In
France, and is fayorably thought Of there
Ia Africa, also, il has been lattcrly cultivated
to some extent, and with fattcring results
Daring the past season quantities Of il have
been raised in different portions of this coun-
try, and the results, in the rough manner in
which the saccharine matter has been OK
tracted and reduced, occasionally appear
through the columns of the local press. II
it should prove that sugar can be manufae-
tured from it at ii cost not exceeding that
manufactured from the cane, it will have
great advantage in another respect to recon-
mend it to our favor. Even in our semi
tropical climate the cane is an unreliable
crop. The planters are now strongly indu-
ced to abandon its culture. For the last two
years their losses in consequence Of winter
killing and early frosts have been immense
and discouraging. The Chinese plant will
mature in any part OF the country, and is not
liable to suffer from frosts. The ease and
abundance with which it can be produced,
will speedily establish it among us, if its su-
gar-producing qualities are not inferior in
point Of economy TO the ordinary cane. And
ii will, IN that event, prove great addi-
sion TO the produce and wealth of the coun.
try.
We have before us, MS we write, a state
ment concerning it, made by j. NJ. Rob, Of
McCreary's Bluff, Wabash CO., Ill. The SUBJ
stance Of his experience is this
SIN my calculations only estimate one
quart OF water to the hill, allowing sixteen
hills per square rod, which will make 1850
hills to the acre, and this, at one quart per
hill, will make $40 gallons Of water, which
will make Ito gallons of molasses. Valued
at IS cents per gallon, it would amount to
$500 per acre, and do not hesitate in saw
ing that the amounts may be doubled.
would urge upon the farmers of the VI cstern
country 70 try it. You will not only save,
but make money by the operation. / am
reu convinced that in 1860 the Southern
planter UiH hare no sale for his sugar in
the State Of Illinois. From, prssen, indica-
fi0ns there eiu be loo acres raised in Va.
bash County merit year, ahirh iriu sare the
county $4,000.
II grows very luxuriantly, from twelve 10
twenty feet high, and the leaves are yalua-
BILE, also, as foddcr,--more valuable, and
more readily eaten, than the leaves of the
Indian corn. II will, we presume, have a
fair and full trial, and what can be made OF
il viii soon be known. We trust that all its
friends anticipate from it may be realized.
