HuMBUGs.-A correspondent asks us in
relation 10 japanese wheat, which is being
advertised as something truly wonderful,
aud as yielding two or three hundred bush
els per acre. Now all We have to say j.,
don't be deceived by such miserable set
ofthieves. They are on a par with another
svt Of itinerate tree peaders that infsst
these Western States carrying fine samples
Of fruit and representing some way down
east nursery. Will tell you there is no
such fruit in the State. and bg such rep
resolutions the Garner Is induced to order
a lot Of trees and vines at much greater
price than be could have purchased the
same kind perhaps far better ID his own
county. The trees or shrubs are ether
dead when they arrive, or not being accli-
mated, die the first winter, and leave the
unfortunate purchaser minus both trees
and money.

Longevity.

But it is the test Of longevity which ex-
hibits the greatest triumph for civilization,
because here the life insurance tables fur
nish ample, though comparatively recent
statistics. OF course, in legendary age, all
lives were of enormous length; and the
Hindoos, in their sacred books attribute to
their progenitors career Of forty million
years or thereabouts what may safely be
termed ripe old age; for if man were
still unripe after celebrating his fony-mil-
lionth birthday he might as well give it up
But from the beginning Of accurate stats
tics, we know that the duration Of life in
any nation is fair index of its progress in
civilization. Quetelet gives statistics, more
or less reliable, from every nation Of north
ern Europe, showing gain Of ten to
twenty-five per cent. during the last century.
Where the tables are most carefully pre-
pared, the result is least equivoeal. Thus
in Geneva, where accurate registers have
been kept for three hundred years, it seems
that from 1860 to 1900 the average life
time of the citizens was twenty-one years
and two months; in the century following
thilty-two years and nine months; and in
the year 1888, forty years and FIVE months
thus nearly doubling the average age Of
man in Geneva, within those three centu-
ries Of social progress. In France, it is
estimated that, III spite Of revolutions and
Napoleon, human life has been gaining at
the rate Of two months a year for nearly a
century. BY manuscript Of the fourteenth
century, moreover, it is shown that the
rate of mortality in Paris was then one in
sixteen-one person dying annually to
every sixteen Of the inhabitants. It's now
one in thirty two--a gain of hundred per
cent. in FIVE years. IL England the pro-
gress has been far more rapid. The rate
Of Immortality in 1890 was one in thity-threc !;
in 1880 it was one in forty; and it stands
now at one in sixty-the healthiest condi-
ton in Europe-while ii half harbarous
Russia therate of mortality is one in twenty
seven. 1t would be easy to multiply these
statistics to any extent; but they all point
one way, and no medical statistician now
pretends to oppose the dietum Of Hufeland,
that "a certain degree Of culture is physic-
ally necessary for man, and promotes du-
ration oflile. Attaatic Monthly.

Sugar from SORGHUM.


EDS. PRAIRIE FARMER Some weeks
since / sent Won a sample ofsorghum syrup,
with a promise Of the mode Of cultivation,
&c. | have deferred writing thus long in"
order to make further experiments-an
ascertain whether or not there might be
sugar obtained from the syrup. On the
first appearance Of Sorghum, some three
years ago, had l doubts as to its making
sugar. They are now entirely removed.
| have obtained good appearing and good
favored sugar two or three times from
syrup a sample Of which I seht YOU
FIRST, we found by letting the syrup re-
main u an open vessel, that, in day or
ty ), there would be quantity Of sugar at
the bottom. / have no doubt that any
one having more experience than we have
had, might have made good sugar from it
at the time Ike syrup was manufactured.
Our cane was worked up at the b Ives,
by No gan L. Lloyd, who used COOKS

making some 400 gallons, all good sam

Oar mode Of planting and filling was as
is usually adopted, presume. We planted

four feet apart hoed the same time as corn;

Of an acre-say 20 rods: the syrup for
orr own use has not cost US over 20 cents
per gallon, if that even. ] would not give
a gallon Of it for gallon and a half Of
Southern syrup. a. J. FooRD.
REMARKS Although we hear Of syrup
granulating after being allowed to stand as
described by our correspondent, we do not
hear Of any very ertensioe deposits Of sugar
--ofno tests by which the fact is establish
ed that sugar can be obtained by those
simple processes, to such an extent as to
supplant the present staple at present prices.
And Notwithstanding Mr.. Coverings ex-
peliments, they are experienced sugar re-
timers who assert that the form and general
character Of the grains ofsorghum sugar is
such as to convince them il is impract.cable
to make sugar proftably from the plant
But they do not hesitate to assert that it is
worth 25 cents per gallon--eyen the poorer
qualities-for refining purposes. They do
not hesitate to endorse its value as a syrup
producing plant.-Prairis Farmer.
