MORE Mo1AssEs FROM CHINESE SUGAR
CANE.-We have been sent two spcci-
mems of Syrup manufactured from Chi
nese Sugar Cane, by Mr.. Jacob Bowman,
near Lumberport, in this county. He
raised ITO hills, containing from one to
four stalks each. cultivated it the same as
corn, and obtained from them ten gallons
of Molasses. He thought fifteen gallons
could have been easily obtained by the
application of proper machinery for ex-
pressing the juice. One bottle of the
specimen sent US was made from cane cut
before frost, and the other from cane cut
afterwards. That made from the cane
cut before the frost is decidedly the best.
The following is Mr.. Bowman's descrip-
ton of the manner in which he extracted
the juice:
81 sawed off two loinch logs, feet
long. These set feet in the ground,
and feet apart, making them firm by
stones filed in. Two feet from the
ground l sawed a notch, half way through
each log on the inside, and fitted in a
plank 3 inches thick, and 8 inches wide
In this bottom piece made two holes
for the lower ends Of the rollers, which
were made Of smooth hickory logs, trims
med round and smooth with draw
shave. The lower end of each was fitted
into the lower holes. with a gudgeon.-
Two feet from this, l cut collar, or ra.

which crresponded with the upper end Of

ces of plank 6 inches wide. to the top Of
the posts. cutting out semi circles on the
inside OF each. to fit into the necks of the
rollers. These upper planks are spiked
down upon the top ends of the logs, and
hold the rollers in place. One of the roll
lers projects above the upper beam about
2 feet. and into this is fitted long lever.

The Hop.

Hopping is said to be a very healthy
operation. Many have had a complete
restoration of health by it. Though the
taste be bitter, the perfume is delicious.
1t is quite an attraction, and gives n an

drawn to their own peculiar diet or COM

German hom~eopathists, who are very
sensitive creatures, and particularly fear.
full of all sorts of smells, are awfully afraid
of a hop-kiln. We remember n case Of
a young lady, who was under German
homeopathic treatment, telling her physi-
clan that she had been a hopping, and
she began to expatiate on the deliciousness
of the perfume. But he screamed with
horror. 'Horreeble! h~orreehle! most

Curing Bacon without smoke.

To smoke the best bacon, fat your hogs
early and fat them well. BY fattening
early you make a great saving in food,
and we'll fatted pork. Then kill as early
as the weather will allow, and salt as soon
ms the animal heat is gone with plenty of
the purest salt, and about half an ounce of
saltpetre to one hundred pounds of pork.
As soon as the meat is sailed to your
taste, which will generally be in about five
weeks, take il out, and if any of it has
been covered with brine let it drain Il lit
tie. Then take black pepper, finely
ground, and dust on the hook end as much
as will stick, then hang it up in a good,
clean, dry, airy place. IF all this is done
as it should be, you will have no further
trouble with it, for by fly time in spring,
your bacon is so well cured on the outside
that flies or bugs will not disturb it.
Curing bacon is like the Irishman's
mode of making punch. He said - Put
in the sugar, then ill it up with whiskey,
and every drop of water you put in after
that spoils the punch Just so with cur
ing bacon, after following the directions
given above, every drop of smoke you
put about it, spoils the bacon

How TO Secure Good Fruit Crops.

The Agricultural and Horticultural
Society of Vaucluse recommends, that in
order to ensure a large crop in fruit trees
the following plan should be n lopted =
a hole must DO dug round the tree to n
certain depth in the autumn, but not deep
enough to expose the roots, and must then
be filed up with manure; the manure
should be left until frozen, and her be
covered with the earth extracted. Thus
covered over, the manure does not thaw
until a late period, and thereby prevents
the tree from budding early, and produces
the effect intended. The same society
further makes known that it is a well-as-
certained fact that trees which yield mos
fruit are those whose branches grow hori
zontally, instead of vertically and it there
fore recommends that trees shonld, 5,
far as possible, be trained to grow in tina
direction it ever declares that by sucl
training trees that have never yielded an,
fruit previously may be made productive
