THE HOUSE AND ! FARM.
Experiment with EEsc Chinese
Sugar Cane. VS.

Sugar Cane.
The suhjoined letter has been furnished
to the Union for publication by the super
intendent Of the Agricultural Division of
the Patent Office. Itis from q practical
farmer residing in this State:
DEAR SIR:-Numel Gus inquiries are
daily made to me about my success in
manufacturing the syrup and sugar from
the Chinese Sugar Cane, response to
which may be perhaps interesting to the
public generally, as well as to individuals.
Ny experience, however, is quite limited;
yet every idea on THIS interesting subject
may be of Importance to aid us in per-
fecting a system, in making for ourselves
one Of the great staples for family use.
have succeeded beyond any expecta-
ton fGhad, in prod icing the most beauti-
fully favored syrup | have ever tasted.
| think am not deceived when | say that
it VIII take the place of tie Boston gold
syrup. | have succeeded, also, in taking
from the syrup the entire cane taste, lea
wing a pleasant taste, and boiling it down
till it becomes quite thick, then setting it
aside in some open vessel y few days, it
turns and grains gradually into sugar
The manner Of my boiling is to put a
small sprinkling Of unslacked lime-say
one gill into 100 gallons Of juice-whieh
will make at least 90 gallons Of good syrup.
| have 81 acres of the cane, and have not
used more than one third Of an acre,
which produced sixty gallons of good
syrup. The secret Of removing the entire
cane taste is in skmming closely all the
green sediment which rises to the surface
while boiling. If [ am as successful IN
the after experiment, shall make twenty
barrels of syrup. The labor is no more
than to raise so many acres of corn, but
the labor in saving the crop is much
greater as the stalk of the cane has to be
stripped of the leaf and seed, which, in
fact, will itself pay for the labor.
The mill we are using grinds and pres
ses the stalk all at the same time, and Will
make 40 gallons per hour; and the i'm
provement we design putting upon it,
which will be very little more expense,
will then make with the same case, 100
gallons per hour. tits constructed some
what like an old-fashioned cider mill, cx-
cept the cylinders are Of cast iron, and
turned perfectly round, sixteen inches
long, with shaft running through them
with. COG wheels on each shaft at the top
of cylinder, it being twelve inches in dia-
meter; and at the top Of the long shaft
cog wheels to give motion about four or
five times to the horse going once around.
When the cane is at the machine a man
and boy can make fifty to sixty gallons
per Gay Of good syrup, with our first pro
ducing machine; and this is. done with
one small pan, five feet long and three
fleet wide, placed in an arch; and from the
little experiment [ have made, | think
there is but little doubt that eventually
there will be q great change in our syrup
for table use.
Yours truly, J. Fl. SMITH.

Chicago Tribune for 1857.

TE1HE CHICAGO TRIBUNE is a bold, earn
i est and straightforward Republicans paper,
devoted to the cause of Freedom, Progress and
Reform. Believing that Liberty. and not
Bondage, is the saving principle of the Rcpub-
lie, It is enlisted into the Republican ranks,
not for a campaign, but during the struggle
between Freedom and Slavery. It contends
for the principles declared by the unanimous
vote of the Fathers of the Republic in the Con-
gress of 1887, that Slavery or involuntary SER
vitude shall never exist in territory now free"
and it therefore insists that Kansas shall be Free
that Slavery shall be excluded itom all Ma
tional Territory, and that the influence of the
General Government shall be exercised on the
side of Freedom. e..s
