B, TILLA9E. - The sorghum
comes up looking very puny--
much like broom-corn or barn
grass. If you set a blockhead to
weed it, he will probably pull il
up and report that it never germ
mated. Cultivate like Indian
Corn-only faithfully. If suck
ers start, majority say pinch
them or pull them off-that is, in
growing for seed. This need not
be done in growing for sugar.
4. HARVESTING. - Whenever
the seed shall be hard and black,
cut off the upper part of the
stalks, say three feet long, and
hang them up like broom corn,
in & dry chamber, suspended from
the ceiling, so as to be out of the
way of rats, sc. Now cut up
your stalks, pull off the leaves,
and satisfy yourself that all man.
ner of stock will eat them; cut
up a few of the stalks as you do
corn-stalks, and try a like expert
ment with them; and put the rest
of the stalks any kind of a crush
ing-mill that may be handy-aci-
der mill is better than nothing
catch the juice, and instantly
warm it over slow fire In a large
kettle, skimming off the scum as
long as any shall rise. Then boil
the juice about four fifths away,
as if it we're maple sap. Use a
little lime or lime water, to neu-
tralize the phosphoric acid, which
otherwise will give a slightly
acid but not unpleasant taste to
the syrup. Save some syrup
without thus neutralizing the acid,
as you may like it best this way.
Don't waste the scum, but throw
lit to the pigs. where it will at least
make excellent manure. Feed
the pumice or crushed stalks to
your cattle;|and, having thus clear
ed your ground, be ready to plant
or sow extensively next spring,
5. FoDDER.-We estimate that,
whenever seed shall be sufficiently
abundant, any rich, warm land
will produce a third more fodder
per acre il sown with Sorghum,
than if sown with Indian Corn,
and that the Sorghum is at least
twenty-five per cent. more nutri-
tious than the corn. But all that
can be effected this year ito grow
a good supply of seed, and prove
that this plant is valuable both for
syrup and folder. Next year will
be soon enough for most cultiva-
tors to think Of sowing for fodder
or grinding for sugar.
One word Of caution to cult
vators: Don't run the thing in
the ground. The Sorghum will
prove valuable addition to oul
crops, if we don't render it odious
by some Multicaulis foolery. But
wheat, Indian corn and clover are
not going out Of fashion for some
years yet.

RECIPE TO CURE HAMs.--As soon
ss the hog is cold enough to be cut up
take the hams, and cut out the round
bone, so as 10 have the hams not too
thick, rub them well with common
salt, and leave them in large pan
for three days. When the salt has
drawnout all the blood, throw the
brine away, and proceed as follows:
Have two hams, Of about eighteen
pounds each. take one pound of moist
sugar, one pound of common salt,
two ounces OF salt.peter, then put
them into vessel large enough to
contain them in the liquor, remember
ing always to keep the salt over them
after they have been in this state three
days, throw over them o bottle of the
best vinegar. One month is requisite
for the cure Of them; during thai
period, they must be turned often in
the brine; when you take Thorn out,
drain them well; powder them with
some coarse -four. and hang them in 9
dry place. The same brine can serve
again, observing that you must not
put so much salt on the next hams
that you pickle. This method has
been tried and pronounced far better
than the Westpealia.
