osAsE HEDeB.-The cultivate, -.
Usage Orange plant for hedges, a = -
stitute for fencing, is beginning 70 a.t s-s-
considerable attention amongst the &c
ers of this neighborhood. The expe,;.a-
of the Western States generally, IN r.:
to the Usage plant, has been unfsyorsrI*S
but it is believed bv those best op.I;s.,

liarly adapted to its successful growth :
account of the length of the summs- s'+
son, giving the wood sufficient tim. :

weather, and also on account of n.
markable mildness of our winters r.
scarcity of timber is not as yet felt in -.
portion Of Kansas, and may not be h
great many years. But if the Usage pl,,.
can be cultivated successfully. a chez.
better and more lasting fence can be nsS''
with it than in any other manner.
1t is too late to plant hedge this se.sO,
but it win soon be time to comuene.

The ground should be plowed during II,
summer where it is designed to plant Il.
hedge, st least one rod in width: ea-I-
next spring il should be plowed a,s;,
deep, and dragged well so as to thorousbIr
pulverize the soil the seed should H.:
be planted about the last of April OF a.,
of May. The better plan is to plant Il.
seed where the hedge is wanted, and "a;
plant to transplant We hope all thr
can, will set out small portion of hedps
at least, another year. We want lie
timber of our forests for building, fun.

SUGAR CANE.-Considerable attep,io,
is being paid this season to the cultiy,.
ton of the Sorghum, or Chinese Ssv,,
Cane. Most of those who experiments
with it last year became fully satisfied a
its entire sdaptability to this climate ana
of its proftableness as a crop: and Il
machines for crushing it could easily b.
obtained, no doubt nearly every farmetip
the Neosho Nalley would have planted >,
least enough to make his own sugar and
syrup. We feel confident that ere another
year it will entirely supplant the sale a
Southern sugar and syrup In this part AZ
Kansas. Mr.. Davis, living on Dow CrpsI
four miles north of Emporia, is planting
seven acres, and Mr.. Miller, living closs
by, has planted FIVE acres. Both tbess
gentlemen will erect stationary mills fr
their own use. Should the season h.
favorable, the profits of these crops viii
be large. We regard the success of the
Sorghum as .fxed, and it can in future bs
regarded as one of the staples of Kansas
