A1r. Lueo also believes that the greater part Of
The seed-end should becut of and TINT not nose
than the lower half Of the stalk will payto nnauu-
Acture from. He thinks that not only ii there
about the same yield, but that the syrup pro-
duced Is Of much better quality, md more
nee from that peculiar favor of Sorghum
Aoasses which Is supposed to be derived from
the vegetable Juices Of the cane.
As soon M gathered tic cane should be
ground, for 1t piled up and corded It Is apt to
heat and ferment alr. Luce lost much syrup
doubtless from being oblicedto stack thc cane
