HEDGES SUGAR MILL HOW TO MANUFAC-
TuRE SUGAR OUT OFF, THE CANE. -"Index"
writes from Washington:-"I propose to
give the result of my inquiries upon the
subject of Sorghum, especially of the pros
pect of making sugar from it. l attended
the Mechanics Fsif here, and met Mr..
Hedges, of Cincinnati, who has on exhibition
an ingenious Sugar Mill. From conversa-
tion with him, and gentlemen of the South,
and especially with D. J. Browne, ofthe
Patent Office, i learn that when the cane
is matared, (but before the seed ripens, it
must be stripped ofits leaves upon the hill,
cut close to the ground, hauled to the mill,
the juice expressed and conveyed inanaedi-
ately to the boilers, or pans, thus giving
the least possible opportunity for the at
naosphere to,afsct either the stalks or juice
as citrication, or souring, wH prevent
grunulation. The frost will have the same
effect on. the cane Seorching the syrup
during concentration will also spoil it for
sugar, rs it will not granulate. Wooden
vessels, or wooden mills, will not answer,
as the timber will soon become soar from
the absorption of juice, and, impart suffi-
cient aeidity to the mass to spoil it. Cast
boilers will do, but copper is better. Supe-
rior apparatus is indispensable, and this, l
believe, Mr.. Hedges is prepared to sup
ply, at a price within The reach of all. l

MOUSE TRAps.- We notice that new
method ofmaking a cheap mouse trap is
going the rounds. 1t consists of a glass
tumbler tilted-up on one side, by small
piece ofwhale bone, or other convenient
material, the ends of which are fastened
together by piece of cheese. Rest one
edge of the tunibler, on this bent elastic,
with the cheese within or under the tum-
bier, and the devise is complete. If the
tumbler rest on a small movable board,
the whole may be carried away together,
to'a place Of slaughter. We will give an
other method. Take small bowl, tilt it
in thesame manner as the preceding, us
ing copper cent on edge, instead of the
whalebone, bait with cheese, under the
bowl. When the mouse enters, he is. sure
to touch theicent and however lightly, it
will fall, and the mouse is cahght.

i The APPLE SCALE, OR Ceccus.-At the
present time, these little7whit scales can
be found plentifully, upon the trunks of
young, and the limbs of older pear and ap-
pie trees; they are the dead bodies of the
females, and serve as protection TO the
eggs, which may be found in little clus-
ter beneath the scale. When the eggs are
crushed, they emit red fluid. Scrubbing
the trees wherever infested, and then paint
ing with solution of soft soap, will de
stroy the comming crop of coccii.

Timely Hints-.Care Of your
Meadows this Spring.

l. Close them now against cattle and
all kind of animals. DO not allow even
your geese to ramble over them. Every
youag blade Of grass cropped off now. viii
diminish the cropiof hay four times the
amount of nutriment received by the stock
from the grass. This is kind of profit
you can't afford to indulge in.
2. You viii probably find portions Of
your meadows on which the water stands,
after a rain. If these are of any size, dig
little trench which will drain them into
some water-course. This will pay. You
may add the turf, which you remove to
make, the, drain,to your manure heap 1t
MiIl thus be saved, and win not leave your
meadow foqghg Z az
: 3.pPick up all the stones, which the
winter ffosts have brought to the surface.
The scythe or mower should not encounter
one stone during the whole season. Do
ofhe same with all sticks, and roots, and
bas faras possible, with all stumps, toe. A
6 clear, even surface isat once great beauty
2 in meadow and a aneeessary condition of
getting the whole crop of hay.
4. Cut away all bummocks, and ant hills
with good spade, unless YOU have some
more compendious way Of removing them.
Rolling the meadow, though good opera
ton, if done so as not to leave The ground
"heavy," will not always press down these
projections; pairing them off is the only
sure way. The economy of this operation
will be plain to you, if you remember how
many seythes and snathes have been-bro-
ken, and how many mowers have been
blunted or injured BY coming against these
msssesof turf. /. ~ = p = FL
5. Scatter manure generously. owe the
higher and poorer ground in your meadow.
This Of course pays--O. Farmer. ~

I Mrs. Bostwick, in the Ohio Farmer, IN
her notes of travel, says: -.r. ZIEaJl
Why will women degrade themselves to
a level, only one remove from that of the
profane swearer, by the use of expressions,
which, if not actually vulgar, habituates the
mind to a grade of thought SO low, that
vulgarity soon finds and easy entrance?
A sickening instance Of this, came to my
notice at a station not far fom Columbus,
when several young ladies came into the
cars, unattended by n gentleman. One
VIII acted as leader, was genteelly dressed,
with her sparkling eyes, ruby lips, and
mischievous dimple, might have won, from
a deaf person the title of beauty. There
were few vacant seats, and the passengers
having their backs to the door, the entrance
of the party was not Immediately observed.
= Imagine my astonishment, when seeing
her friends anxiously looking for seats, the
lady's ruby lips parted, and she exclaimed,
@Don't be scared girls, just hold yoar
horses minute, while | go and make a
raise in boot leather
As might be expected, that was soon ac-
and she beckoned her COM
panions to ''eome on" What different
idea l now entertained of her beauty! Yet
women are only imitators, in this vile habit,
not its origioators, and therefore not most
culpable; and the gentlemen who exchang-
ed side glances, and smiles, at her expense,
should have remembered that one seldom
hears slang expressions from woman,
which had not before become familiar
through the medium of masculine lips.
