sugar from SORGHUM.

10. Benjamin Of La Porte county, Ind,
writes us he has been successful ia the man
fltfacture Of Sugar from Sorghum during
the past season in Scott Co, in this State
working up half acre Of cane, making
a very superior quality Of Syrup, which
graduated in a few days and produced
about so per cent Of good sugar. A three
roller press and cast iron eyaporator were
used. He does not agree with Mr.. z. NJ,
on page 35 current volume, that Sugar
Cane juice should not be boiled in iron
pans. Mr.. Benjamin challenges compare
son Of Sugar and. Syrup made in his cast
iron pans, with samples made on any other
material.
He says, in his locality, scalding the seed
has proved more injurious than beneficial
but soaking the seed in warm water two
or three days before planting, is very essen
