So much for expenditures, which any man
who has had any experience in farming will
admit to be the outside figures. Let us turn
to the other side, and see the result:
1880 bushels of corn at scots. per. bush
el-$2, 400 which is almost the amount of
entire investment. The autumn of the Sec
ond year finds the farmer with from $4,000
to IS 1000 surplus which he may use in ma
king improvements on his premises, invest
in real estate or loan at a large per cent,
interest,
The above calculation is based upon the
supposition that the land is bought at gov
ernment price, and those Industrious farmers
who obtained their land at that rate have
almost universally realized as handsome
profits as the ssfgures" show. There is
very little good land in Iowa now to be had
at government price. But suppose you are
Obliged to pay SIS to SO per. acre aud have
enough better facilities for working to make
1t up, or suppose you pay SIS to $40 per
acre Tor farms already fenced and improved
as convenient to market as the old rough,
rocky New England farms that sell for $50
to $40 per acre, and apply the above calcu-
lation of "profts," and see then whether
there is any inducement for farmers tie come
west. The truth is that there are better
inducements for farmers here than any 9th
er class Of people, and at same time the
west needs nothing SO much as class Of lire

What are we going to do? Sugar is SELL
ing now at almost prohibitory rates, and
the last advices leave room for but one con-
clusion-that these rates will be advanced.
The New Orleans Price Current of Nav 10th
says the arrivals of sugar continue of very
limited character, and the crop is nearly ex-
hausted, it being estimated that the whole
stock in Louisiana does not exceed 1900 or
1900 hhds., against about $4,000 at the
same period last year. Under these circum-
stances, prices are very full in the limited
transactions which take place, the inquiry
for consumption being almost wholly for
the Louisiana product. The sales Of the
from second hand, sum up about 700 hhds.
against 5000 in the corresponding week last
year. The prospect is gloomy enough, for
crop can come in.
The supply of foreign sugars suffers SIM
liar limitation. Cuban sugars since the 9Th
of April have advanced -and-a-half
cents per pound. And such are the anticipa-
tons Of a scarcity in Cuba, that Cuban su-
gar spectators have gone into the New
York market to buy and hold On Cuban ac-
CONT.
II the experiments making this season
with the Chinese Sugar Cane should be sue
cessfnl, we may hope for some relief from
the burdensome rates at which sugar now
rules, with prospect of still greater pres
sure before the Summer is past. The spur
Of necessity has operated in inducing, what
may be regarded as "a extensive planting of
the Sorghum this Spring. We hear of one
gentleman in South Carolina who has one
hundred acres planted with it. In Illinois,
we hear of score who have planted from
one to fifteen acres, and of like number in
Missouri. Of course, there are hundreds
whom we do not hear Of, who are expert
menting with this sugar cane, SO that by
next September we shall know what relief
may be hoped from this source. Mr.. Hedges,
well known through his relation to the corn
mill, agricultural steam boilers, &c., with
Others, is engaged in forcing large guam
tity of the Chinese sugar cane in hot houses.
1t is expected it will be ready for the mill
and the boiler early in July, when thor
ough experiment will be made with the syr-
up, to see whether granulat, | sugar of
marketable quality can be produced from it
in sufficient quantities and at such cost as
will justify the future cultivation of the
crop. We learn that quite company of
those interested in sugar will meet at Gin
cinnati in July, to witness the result of this
experiment, and it will have material eff
feet in controlling the movements of those
who will then be waiting on their field crops.
If it should prove satisfactory, due o, epara-
tions will be made by Northern sugar grow
ers for making sugar in the Fall from such
crops as they have. We hope soon to have
some interesting information from Mr..
Hedges in reference to this subject, which
We shall then lay before our readers.-N.

THE GREAr EAsrKRN.

The following particulars Of the enor-
nous vessel to be launched viii be Of in
terest to most Of our readers. She will
carry Il, 900 tons Of coal, 5000 tons Of
merchandise, and 400 passengers. The OBJ
ject of building 90 large vessel, is the
economy that will be effected BY being able
to stow sufficient coal to carry around the
world. She will save about $4,000 per vow
age to Australia in this item, by CARRYING
sufficient to take her there and back. instead
OF having to coal at Australia. Owing to
her length, she will not pitch, and will roll
less than any ship that ever swan. She
will be the strongest ship in existence, being
built upon the principle of hollow iron
beam.
There are then bulkheads Of water tight
compartments; and there are longitudinal
bulkheads, also tight water. She Is dou-
BILE ship, complete and perfect, the internal
hull being supported by boiler plate stays
three feet deep, and about the same distance
apart, and riveted with angle iron joints to
the external hull, thus forming cellular
piece of work, similar to the top or roof, Of
Mental bridge, and as strong as solid iron.
This extends from the bottom of the ship,
30 feet up each side, until the first deck is
reached. The two lower decks serve as
bridges or stays; and the main deck is SINH
lar to the hull-cellular in construction
being in two parts braced together, making
a fabric Of immense strength. Were two Of
her water tight compartments filed with
water, she would hardly be Inconvenience.
This noble vessel is sos feet long, SO feet
broad, and SO feet deep from her deck to
the floor of her hull. Her tonnage 22,500
tons. She will be propelled by two pad
dies and screw. The paddle wheels are
30 feet in diameter, and the screw is "a feet
in diameter. The four engines to propel
the paddle wheels are equal to 1856 horse
power, and the four engines to propel the
screw are equal to LOO horse power. She
will have FIVE tunnels connected to ten boil
ers, and six masts, which will carry acres Of
canvass.
Four of her masts will be Of iron-the
two next the stern and compass of the ship
will be of wood. Her crew will consist Of
500 seamen. How many boats she will have
we cannot say; but she will have abaft her
paddle box, on each side, screw steamer
100 feet long. The whole ship will be light
ed with gas. Her speed will be Is knots
equal to II IL miles per hour; and she will
60 to Port Philip in So days. Some of the
foregoing facts are tabulated in the follow
ing table:

The vessel rests on two large cradles Of
wood, and will glide into the water side-o
She will be launched at low water, and will
draw, when light, Is feet; when laden SO
feet. She will be launched in August
Although this noble monument of human
skill was built for the requirements Of COM
merce and peace, she might prove, if need
be, powerful engine of war.
Her immense capacity $4,000 tons,) her
own weight (l2,OO0) driven at the rate of
nearly 20 miles an hour (the speed of rail-

probable cold Yield.o1 California.

Probable Gold Yield..of California.
The San francisco Price Current, of the
18th April, says:
The receipts of dust during the past fort
night havt been quite large, being con-
siderable augmented by the receipts from
Oregon and the northern coast Of California
districts in which the severity of the weather
interferes materially with the working Of the
mines during the winter season. The prob
abilities are now that during the next three
months there will be little variation in the
aggregate weekly receipts Of gold in San
Francisco. The amount which reaches us
here, however, does not by any means rep
resent the actual yield of the mines, as the
people of the interior retain large proper
ton among themselves, which is ready for
investment in mining or other operations-in
the building of bridges, construction of fire
proof buildings, &c. In fact, money is easier
to obtain on decent securities in the noun
tains at present than it is in this city; and
the amount of capital being invested in quartz
mills, mining tunnels, &c, ismuch larger than
at any previous period of our history, ex-
cepting, perhaps during the time when for
eign companies were squandering their
hundreds Of thousands of dollars in attempts
to carry out rojeets-simple enough in
,Memselv es-but which they did not under
stand and the proper conduct Of which they
would not condescend to learn.
