in, as we'll as some experiments

CULTIVATION.
Since its introduction into this
country, the Chinese sugar-cane
has proved itself we'll adapted to
our geographical range Of Indian
corn. 1t is of easy cultivation,
being similar to that Of maize or
broom-corn, but will prosper in a
much poorer soil. 1t does not
succeed so we'll, however, when
sown broadcast with the view Of
producing fodder, as it will not
grow to much more than one-half
Of its usual height. If the seeds
are planted in May, in the Middle
States, or still earlier at the South,
two crops Of fodder can be grown
in a season from the same roots
The first one in june or July, to be
cut before the panicles appear,
which would be green and succu-
lent, like young Indian corn
and the other a month or two la
ter, at the time or before, the seed
is fully matured. In the extreme
Northern States, where the sea-
son is too short and cool for it to
ripen in the open air, the cultiva-
tor will necessarily have to obtain
his seed from regions further
south. If it were important for
him to raise bis own seed, he could
start the plants under glass, 10
the spring, and remove them to
the field or garden at about the
period of planting Indian corn,
after which they would fully ma
ture. One quart Of seeds are
found TO be sufficient for an acre.
II the soil be Indifferent or poor,
they may be sown in rows or
drills about three feet apart, with
the plants from 10 to II inches
asunder; but if the soil be rich,
they may be planted in hills, five
or more seeds to each, 4 or 5 feet
apart in one direction, and 3 OF 4
in the other. The plants may be
worked or hoed twice in the
course Of the season, in a similar
manner to Indian corn. Any
suckers or superauous shoots,
which may spring up, may be re-
moved. The seed should not be
harvested before it acquires a
dark or black hue. Should the
plants lodge, or fall to the ground,
by the excessive weight of the
heads, during storms Of wind or
rain, before the seed natures,
they may remain for weeks with
out injury. In collecting the
seed, a convenient method is to
cut off the stalks about a foot be-
low the panicles, tie them up in
lunches Of twenty-five, and sus-
pend them in any secure, airy
place, sheltered from rain. If in
tended solely for fodder, the first
crop should be cut just before the
panicles would appear and the
second, as soon as the seed arrives
at the milky stage. 1t may be
tied up in bundles, shocked and
cured, like the tops or stalks Of
Indian corn. II not intended ia
be employed for any other eco
nomical use, after the seed has

400 or SOC f., the stalks may BE-
cut up close to the ground, tiet
