Chinese Sugar Cane.

A large number of the farmers Of Vlr-
GINA are al present making an experiment
with The Chinese Sugar Cane, the seed
having been obtained from the Patent
office in Washington. We copy from
the Patent Office Report (Agriculmra)
the following extracts in reference 10 it:
The Chinese Sugar Cane, Sorghum
SaccharGtum.) is a new gramlneoos plant
ul Chinese origin, but more recently from
France, by the way of Natal. in South
Africa. Since its introduction into th,s
country, it has proved Itself well adapted
to orr geographical range of Indian corn.
l. is easy of cultivation, being similar TO
that Of maize ur broom corn and If The
seeds are planted in May, in the Middle
States, or sill earlier al the South, two
crops of fodder can be grown in a season
from the same roots, irrespective at
droughl-lhe first one in June or July, To
be cut before the pancles appear, which
would be green and surculrnl, like youig
Indian Corn and The other, month or
TWO later, when or before the seed Is full
ly malured.
"The amount of fodder which II will
prOduCe TO the acre, with ordinary cull-
valion, NAV be safely estimated al seven
tons, when green. or at least Two tons per
acre, when lhoroughIy cured.
The stalks, when nearly mature, are
filled with rich saccharine juice, which
may he converted INTO sugT, syrup, aIco-
hol or beer, or may be used Tor dyeing
wool or silk permanent red 0r pink;
and rhe entire plant is devoured with AND.
NY, either III green or Dry state, by
horses, cattle. sheep and sw ime.
"Couelderrd i'll an uIIiiarIan point nt
view, this. plant, perhaps. has stronger
claims on lie American agrIculurISt than
any other product iItal has been brought

numral mses, lis value, for feeding 10 an

l"n where II will thrive, cannot I've esuGpas-
sed by any her crop, aS greater a.
mount Of nutritious fodder cannot be OBJ
lained 50 cheap, on gwen space, within
so short period of lime
About TWO hundred aud fifty bushels Of
the Chinese sugar cane have been dis.
tribnled by The Patent Office this season
Ii is thoughl by many that This cane it
destined To he cultivated as extensively in
the United States as Indian corn, yielding
rs it does al the same time, sugar for man
and proyender and grain for beast.

usually wet season and the succession OF

witnessed on Ihe Polomsc--these repairs
would have been completed months ago.

serve gEea, credit for their uniiring per.

The screw steam yacht Fox has been Sc
cured for HE expedition, which will be
