tine PeninSular News, has succeeded in manu-
featuring beautiful article OF sugar from the
Sorghum Slccharatun. The Juice was boiled

vessel to grauulate. In u few days the gran.
ullting process commenced, and was allowed TO
continue for several days, when the whole was
placed in funnel bag, to hasten the drying,
and hung up where the drippings could fall
from it. In few hours the contents OF the
bag were found to be aqUlntity OF nicely crys-
ttll7ud light brown or straw colored sugar
From the success attending the experiments
that have been made among h5 this season, VIC
anticipate an enormous da1 3nd for the seed at
the next planting seasoR1or We are sure that
our farmers will plant extepsitely of it for home
consumption. The syrfP is fully equal to the
best molasses, and tho sugar is superior to
most that is sold in this market. The yield is
also abundant, and will amply repay for tho
trouble and expense of the culture aud manu-
facture. ...
