We find, in the Press and TriLune's
report of the Illinois State Fair, the fol.
lowing in reference to the Chinese Cane
1t may be useful to those who have cane
to work up:
EVENING MEETISG-This evening.
the farmers met in the Societies large
tent, for the purpose of discussing agri-
cultural matters, when the subject of the
Chinese Sugar Cane was put upon the
tapls. A farmer from Perry county com
menced by explaining the cause Of the
burpt taste to mos. samples of syrups.-
II says that, allowing it to cool in guam
tity, or in kegs, casks, or kettles, it forms
q scum over it, arresting radiation, and
! the syrup is burned by It's own heat
| lie recommends the cooling in shallow
vessels Several others conincided in
the same views Mr.. Douglass, of Ohio,
said that sugar could be made from un-
ripe cane, and that even the suckers
would make GOOD sugar. Ills doctrine
is to boil rapidly; cool off and rc-boil,
aud cool in shallow pans; says it will
grannlatc in two and half hours. lie
presented samples Of syrup aud Of sugar.
Mr. Morris, Of Ohio, followed, recon-
mending Imphee as more hardy and val
liable than caue, strongly recommended
shallow pans for boiling, and he gave
considerable of his experience, but con.
cluded that the experiments thus far had
not fully demonstrated the precise point
of boiling at which good sugar could be
made.
Dr. Ostrander of Livingston county
who, it will be recol!ccted, took the frs
premium of the State Society last wintc
, for the best fifty pounds of sugar frou
, this cane, gave an interesting detail %
his experiments. lie found that tn

on down the pan when the boiling was
completed, aud good sugar was the re-.
suit, He had steamed the stalks before
pressing, aud found no difficulty in max
ing sugar without the least trouble, using
no acids or other defecation.
Another gentleman has made the sama
experiment in steaming, and was we'll
pleased with the result. He j. now per-
tectlng machinery for this purpose. Mr..
Folsom has one hundred and fifty acres
OF Chinese cane, at Pana, and is grind.
ing up from three to four acres per day.
\ careful account Is being kept, and the
result will soon be published. Mr.
Hedges made the above statement, and
also that Mr.. Belcher, the sugar refiner,
of st. Louis, stated to him that this cane
was yet to supply the North with her
syrups, and that too of superior quality.
Another gentleman stated that he has
made 81 gallons Of syrup from one acre
of the cane. This was by steaming.-
Steaning is to be tried at Pana ty Mr..
Folsom. Several other gentlemen took
part in the discussion, confirm atory Of
the views presented, The subject of
culture was one in which a wide differ
ence of opinion was manifested, but clo.e
planting, say three feet each way with
two to three seeds in hin, which would
make s to 10 stalks, was pretty general
ly conceded, but DR.. Orstrander plants
four feet each way, putting twenty seeds
in hill. Small stalks are the best. On
the subject of buryinc another difference
OF opinion arose, but most persons are
against allowing it to freeze, preferrins-
to have it covered with straw, and one
gentleman urged care in this respect; :;
he would cut early, house the crop, after
taking of the top and leaves, and would
not work until cut four weeks thinks
that it should lay and ripen before work
ing No one appeared to doubt the suc-
cess Of this corn for syrup, and many
were sanguinc of its great value for SUI,
gar. 1t is now steadily growing in favor,
aud within the next month will have be-
come one of the staple products of the;
prairie. The trials of lmphee have not
resulted SO favorab'y, as it is not 80 good
a gro wer, though several have pronounc-
ed it more hardy. But few samples are
on exhibition, and from this fact we arc
led to believe that the subject was losing
interest, but this discussion most eonc)nr
sively proves the contrary.
Tomorrow Messrs. Gates of Chicago
are to work up car load of corn on the
ground. This is the true way to educate
the farmer, and will tend more TO take Of
the accumulated rust than anything else

fairly; for Ella has marvellous ingenuity
of picking out easy verses, like Jack

Bvoadcloth the Enemy of Health.

Professor Hamilton, in an able address
on hygiene to the graduates of the Buffa.
10 Medical College, denounees broadcloth
as an enemy to exercise, and therefore to-
health. His remarks are pointed and
sensible. lie says:
American gentlemen have adopted as a
national costume, broadcoth-a thin
tight fitting, black suit Of broadcloth. -
To foreigners we seem always to be in
mourning; We travel in black, we write
in black. and we work in black The
priest, the lawyer, the doctor, the literary
man, the mechanic and even the dav la
borer, choose always the same unvaryinc,
monotonous black broadcloth; q style and
material which never ought to have been
adopted out of the drawing room or the
pulpit; because it is feeble aud ex pen
sivo fabric; because it is at the North no
suitable protection against the cold, nor
is it indeed any more suitable at the
South. 1t is too thin to be warm in the
winter, and too black to be COO. in the
summer; but especially do VIC object to it
because the wearer is always soiling it by
exposure. Young gentlemen will not
play ball, or pitch quoits, or wrestle and
tumble, or any other similar thing, lest
their broadcloth should be offended.-
They will not 90 out into the storm, be-
cause broalcloth will lose its lustre if
rain falls upon it; they will not run, be-
cause they have no confidence in the
strength Of the broadcloth they dare not
mount horse. or leap fence, because
broadcloth, as everybody knows, is so
faithless. So these young men, and these
older men, merchants, mechanics, and all,
learn to walk, talk and think soberly and
carefully; they seldom venture even to
laugh to the full extent of their sides

Distraction oG Property by Dogs,

The loss the farmers of Ohio sustain in
their sheep hocks by dogs is almost in-
credible The facts, however, have been
CLEANED agrceably to law by the Township
Assessors, and the returns made to the
Auditor of State, August, 1889, present.

killed by dogs valued at sl09, SCI aud
36,4tl sheep injured by dogs valued at

in Ohio by dogs in 1858, One Hun
DaEp. AND Forty SIX THOUSAND SEVEN
HUNDRED AND FoRTY-ElGHT DOLLARS
average to each County in the State,
sl,G6I. These official statistics can
hardly fail to lead to still more stringent
legislation for the protection of sheep in
Ohio. The butchery of flock of over
10000 year, and the injury to another
of $4,000, by dogs alone, the aggregate
damage being near $3.50, 900, may we'll
bring the heads of multitude of worth
less, aud otherwise expensive CANNES, to
the block. Every dog should be round

FIRE AND Loss OF L1FE.-Saturday morning
last an alarm of fire was sounded, which was
occasioned by the burning of a house owned by
Mr.. Harley, and situated in.the suburbs of the
city, near the bridge over the Charlotte Rail
road. The clothing of q servant girl caught o,
fire, and, in endcayoring to cxtinguish it, she
ran under bed, which likewise caught, thus
setting the dwelling on fire. The house was
completely consumed, Mrs. Harlcy's hands, VIC
learn, were severely burnt, and the negro girl
the property of NJ. Rawls, so badly injured as
to die from the effects Of it in the evening.
Later in the afternoon another alarm was
given, which was caused by the burning of a
Stable and an adjoining building, located in the
rear of tho City Hotel. The wind was very
high, and it was with great difficulty and labor
that the flames were arrested from further ex,
tension The entire f:c department was out
in full force, and worked with great efficiency
and success. This latter fire is supposed to be
the work of an ncendiary.
