The ~practicability Of obtaining ever,
desirable variety of sugar and molasse
from the Sorghum SacchsrIium," o
Chinese sugar cane, has beca thorough,
tested by ilr. Joseph S. Lowering, snga
refner Of Philadelphia. He has published
Il pamphlet giving the results Of his exper
iments, and describing the process, boil
in the culture Of the plan, and the making
Of the sugar. We subjpin The conclu
sions at which the writer arrives:
lst. That it is obvious Ina, there is {
eliminating point in the development o
the sugar in the cane, which is the bcs
time for sugar making. This PPint OIL
season | consider 10 be, when mostSf no
all the seeds are ripe, and after severa.
frosis, say when the temperature falls ,c
&c or go degrees F.
d. The frost, or even hard freezing
does not injure the juice nor the sugar,
but that warm Indian summer weather
after the frost and hard freezing, does
injure them very materially, and reduces
both quantity and qualify.
I'd. That if the zane is GU; and housed,
or shocked in The field when in IFS most
favorable condition; ii viii probably keep
unchanged for a long time.
4th. That when the juice is obtained,
the process should proceed continuously
and without delay.
5th. That the Qualification should be as
perfect as possible by the lime the density
reaches l5' Beaume, the syrup having
the appearance of good brandy.
9th. That although eggs wern used in
these small experiments, on account OF
their convenience, bullock's blooi if to be
had, is equally good, and the milk of lime
alone Will answer the purpose; in the
latter case, however, more constant and
prolonged skimming will be required to
produce a perfect Qualification, which is
highly important.
7ih. That the concentration Of boiling
down, after Qualification, should be as
rapid as possible without scorching-shal-
low ~evaPorators being the best.
With these condi ions SECURED, ii is
about as easy to make good sugar from
the Chinese cane as TO make 4 pot of good
mush, and mach easier than 10 make o
kettle Of good apple butter.

PERFECTLY COOL.

lowing, which We do not remember o
having seen in priat:
A certain man, whom we will cal
a. was noted for pcss, ssins grear
courage and presence OF mind, and the
crossest wife in the neighborhocd.
More than one attempt had been made
TO brighten M, without success; but
n dark, stormy evening, one of his
brother chips resolved to see if there was
any scare in him, fixed himself up in .he
most ghosily style possible, and stationed
himself in a lonely piece Of wood through
which NJ had TO pass on his way
home.
The pretended ghost had scarcely Sci
tied himself in his position, when NJ
hove in sight, and came whisiliDs along
unccncerned as usual. Suddenly the
glosily figure confronted him, ard in a
sepulchral voice, commanded him 10 stop.
"" did so, and after regarding his
companion for a moment, said, with the
utmost ~coolness.
Il can't slap, friend; If you are a man.
I must request you TO get out of The way
s~3-le, me pass: II you are The devil
come along and take supper with me
I married your sister"
