From the Register.
SCOTLAND NECK, N. c., Aug. l, l

SCOTLAND NECK, N. c., Aug. l, 1857.
JNo. W. SYME, ESQ. hasten to communicate for
publication in the Register, the result of expert
ment just made with the juice of the "Sorgho," or
Chinese Sugar Cane.
From three unripe joints of the cane, about one
gill of juice mperfectly extracted, and after
having been boiled for half an hour, table spoon
full of very good molasses obtained-superior to
the common grades of molasses.
l write this to encourage those persons who have
planted the cane to 60 to work and make their mills
and give it fair trial.
If they have not enough to justify the expense
of mill with wooden rollers, let them extract the
juice, have done in this instance. by using the
edge of piece of thick plank scantng lever
power. Make the experiment, if with pint of juice
only.
From the great yield of juice and the simple pro-
cess required in making the moasses, have no
doubt of its complete success and that the day is
not distant when the sugar-mll will be as common
with people, as the cider-mill was years ago
when every family will make their own molasses-
and the children, white and black will eat bread
and molasses, and drink ''swchel" to their hearts
content.
May you not chronicle this if not the first ex-
pertinent in the State in making moasses, at least
as the first of the season?
Respectfully yours &C.,
RICH'D H. SMITH.
We planted some of the Chinese Sugar Cane, but
will, as Mr.. Smith has done so, and pronounces the
molasses superior to the common grades.
Cows and horses eat the cane with great avdity,
evidently preferring it to any thing else; and
ticed in cutting it up, that the thus prepared
was literally wet with the juice We cut ours down.
with the exception of few stalks for seed; and we
notice fresh and vigorous shoots coming up from the
old stalks. 1t will no doubt thus make two crops.
