HOW 1 MADE SORGHUM SUGAR

A number Of my nelghbors having wit
messed my success in making sorghum sugar,
requested me to write out my process for
public benefit. Tiny experience is Of any
value, well: if not there is no harm done.
The sugar send you is made from sy
rup manufactured last fall by Mr.. John
Dunnan Of this vicinity. Ihe cane was
grown on sandy soil, and cultivated as you
would cultivate corn. Mr. Dunnan took
his cane to Cook Sugar Evaporator, on
an adjoining farm, to be boiled down. As
he only desired syrup for table use, it was
made thinner purposely, than if intended
for sugar. Happening to see some Of it in
May last, said it would crystalize, ifmade
little thicker. and was told to dry it. /
did so; then set it away in roomat tenn
perature Of seventy EIGHT degrees. In two
days time it was amass or crystals, and in
three days set it to drain. The result
you see.
In the manufacture Of syrup no lime o.,
chemicals were used; and | put nothing in
to it whatever, when | undertook to crys-
talize it. Had the syrup been made thick
or last fall, and set away in room at the
proper temperature, say rs or so degrees.
It would have crystalized just as well then
as now.
have been equally successful with 9th
er samples of syrup. The difficulty is in
knowing when it is boiled just right, before
it leaves NE ,Evanorator. The best test J
know of is the appearance of the ~ fap,

HAY FOR one SHEEP.-In rellv to the
question, How much hay viii sheep CON
sumo during the Winter months the Mich-
igan Farmer remarks as follows:
The usual iate of the consumption of
food is at the rate of 81 pounds of hay dali
" for every 100 pounds Of live weight. If
we take the average of flocks the live weight
Of 100 common sheep would be about ~
500 pounds, or from that up TO 5000. It
is rare that a whole flock of fine-wooed
sheep Will average more than 10 pounds
for each head, though it may be that this
weight is exceeded in some instances. At
the rate mentioned, a flock of 100 sheep
should use up or consume $50 pounds Of
hay per day, or a total of 25 tons in the
Winter season that lasted $50 days. This
would also equal sos pounds to each sim
Gle sheep, or it may be stated as a general
rule that a full-grown Merino sheep ayera
ging IN live weight from IS pounds to 90,
will consume during the Winter season a
quarter of a ton Of hay, or its equivalent, if
comfortably kept Ifgrain forms part
Of the ration, Of course soma of the hay
must be saved; but If the animal is to be
kept growing wool, it will need its full ra-
ton Of hay, and little grain, too.

Hoyg u THE GOSPEL no REACn THE
MASSES

Mr.. Spurgeon gives his views on this
question in recent letter to the Boston
Waterman and Reflector, from which we
transfer the following paragraph to our col
umnss
1T IS my firm belief that the salvation
Of London will rot come from our colleges
and seats Of learning, but from her deus
and haunts of poverty. look for an ar
nv of converted sinners from st. Glles and
Whltechapel, men whose fury for sin will
be exchanged for energy in righteousness,
whose gratitude for pardon will endow them
with hearts Of fire, and whose acquaintance
with the language of the masses viii give
them tongues Of FIRE. Books may educate
ministers for the polite; only experience and
study Of men can prepare a man to touch
the heart of the masses. We need preach
ers Who win study, not their shelves, but
the streets and lanes; not paper and print
ING alone, but human nature mall It's varied
developments. The division between the
ministry and the people il far too wide;
they will never be moved by professional
skill ;the orator Of the mass must be bone
of Lheir bone and flesh Of their flesh. My
own success, under God, is due to a sympa-
thy with humanity and an observant eye
which delights rather to view man thar
Inau's works. This is not atiainable by
any amount Of research among our learpee
TONES. We must walk the hospitals, if We
would be surgeons, and We must mingle
with the people il We would reach then
hearts. The language Of the class room is
not the speech Of the people, and if We
would be understood, We must leave oul
high stills behind us, and walk on thei
eve, thinking and speaking as one ofthem
selves. We need converted prIze-fghter
and regenerated burglars to reach their FL
low-criminals; and sweeps, cobblers, street
sweepers, and such like, will be the RICH
raw material for mighty preachers Of th
truth Only Thou, q Lord, put to Thin

PAINTING HousEs.-The best time for
painting houses, according to the Scientific
Artisan, is in Autumn or during Winter.
Paint then applied will endure twice as long
as when applied in early Summer Or in
hot weather In the former case it dries
slowly and becomes a very hard surface,
like glazing, not easily affected afterward
by the weather, or worn off by the beating
Of storms. But in very hot weather, the
oil in the paint soaks into the wood at once
as into sponge, leaving the lead nearly
dry, and nearly ready to crumble off. This
last difficulty, however, VIC should think
might be obyiated in measure, though
Al increased expense, BY first going over
the surface with raw oil. By painting in
cold weather one annoyance might certain
~ be escaped, namely, the collection Of
small flies on the fresh paint, thing very
common in this region in Summer.

FREAKS OF A MANIAC

About a wear since, a gentleman IN incl
interior Of Wisconsin became insane and
was sent to the Lunatic Asylum at Madison
IN that State. He was physician by pro-
fession, and was gentleman Of SUPERIOR
Guilty ton and ofremarkably prepossessingl
appearance. He was about thirty years
old.
Some six weeks ago he escaped from the
asyum,and went to Chicago. There he en-
countered an old friend, who loaned HIM
quite a sum of money, having no suspicion
Of his insanity. With this money he sup
Piled himself with new and elegant cloth
ing, and started for Laporte, Indiana, 2
thrifty village on the line of the Michigan
Southern Railroad He remained there
long enough to win the affections OF a
young and wealthy widow, aud was mar
RED to her. During the brief courtship he
exhibited no indications of lunacy, bnt short
" after his marriage he commenced con
Quoting himself in manner which startled
and shocked his wife and her friends.
Among other mad fancies he imagined
he was sheep, and insisted upon crawling
around upon his hands and feet, beating
in the most absurd manner. He would
then fancy himselfa rattlesDake and make
frantic attempts to bite the members OF the
household. The unhappy lady, at length
worn out with watching him and endeavor-
1 ing to restore his reason made preparations
to send him to the Asylum at Indianapolis.
But as IS frequently the case insanity had
sharpened his wits and he adroitly escap-
ed.
We next hear Of him in Syracuse, N. Y.
where be actually purchased block OF
buildings. The necessary papers were
made out and he was to call The next day

The luntatic started westward. At Buffalo
he bargaincd for an immense amount 0
corn, to be delivered in New York city, anC
then proceeded to Cleveland. He arrived
here last week and underworld to negotiate
for some real estate on Kinsman street, bu
he talked so absurdIy that the parties witt
whom he had interviews refused to trea
with him.
Meanwhile his friends, and particular,
his wife in Wisconsin (tor he has wife an'
two children in that State,) were making
every effort to ascertain his whereabouts
They traced him to Syracuse, and from
there to this city. His brother arrived
here on Saturday morning last, but foun'
that the Innate had left on the preyiou

on Saturday morning. At Toledo he learn
