In his late proclamation after the rebels had

IOWA LEGISLATURES.

IL,
EDITOR HAwK-EYE:
One of the best things of the session "came
off" Saturday. The distinguished member from
Madison had introduced bill for the protec.
ton OF Young Mems Rights-a very laudabIe
object, to which you will not demur The bill
provided that young men over 81 years of age,
shall be entitled to hold three hundred dollars
worth Of property exempt from taxation. Mr..
Hardie moved to amend by striking out all after
the word "hold, and insert "a young lady OF
corresponding age, subject to the Revision OF
1850, and he shall be entitled to all the rights
and privileges usual in such cases, as long as he
holds the same" 1t is needless to add that this
amendment met with most decided support,
and was adopted, and the bill thus amended,
sent to the Senate, where, it is probable, this
very plausible protection" will be outlawcd

For the Burlington Hawk -Eye.l
SORGHUM.


Mr.. EDITOR Please give this scrap place
in your paper. 1t may be OF advantage to some
body.
In regard to the Chinese Cane, the following
points may be relied on us of essential impor
lance.
In the first place, the Cane seed should be
planted early in the season, the earlier the bet.
ter, after the ground is sufficiently dry and warm
to promote termination The late planted Cane
is always inferior. 1t produces less saccharine.
The quality is inferior; the syrup is more diff
cult to preserve free from undue acidity.
Much care should be taken as to the quality
Of soil selected for the Cane.
The rich prairie soil should by all means be
eschewed, when any other can be had. The
best soil is the clayey soil of timber land with
mixture of sand. When that cannot be had,
select the oldest and longest cultivated prairie
soil No matter If it is too much worn to pro-
duce corn, it will be all the better for cane.-
But in all cases the soil should be loose and well
pulverized.
The greatest care should be taken to obtain
used in the country is sadly mixed Out of more
than thirty different lots Of cane that we worked
last fall, there were not more than four or FIVE
but what were more or lees mixed with other
plants. The great pests of the Sorghum are the
broom-corn and the chocolate or coffee corn.
They will very coon utterly ruin it. The cane
will mix with these articles mile Off That is,
it will mix just ss far as the light pollen OF the
blossom can be carried by the wind. 1t will
mix with common corn, provided its blossoms
are out at the same time with those of the corn
The quality of the cane is greatly impaired by
being left to grow among the coarse, rank weeds
of the field. What is quite as inferior in quail.
ty and value as any of the other mixtures is
that mongrel sort of article produced by the
mixture of the Sorghum with the Imphia, or
African Cane.
Treat the Sorghum properly, grow it on suit.
able soils, cultivate it well, and harvest it at
the proper time and it will yield sugar or molas-
ses of as fine aud excellent quality as any va
riety Of cane that grows in any climate or coun-
try whatsoever.

Escape OF more Prisoners from C.mu
Butler.

The Springfield, Qll.,) Journal, of March 81,
says: Two rebel prisoners named cartwright
and Des Merks escaped from Camp Butler on
last Saturday night. They are described as being
nineteen and seventeen years of age respectively,
both having fair hair and blue eyes, and of fair
complexion.
A week ago we noticed the escape of other
prisoners from Camp Butler, stating that we be.
l;eved they were aided by traitors in this neigh.
borhood. That the two who escaped on Saturday
night were aided in a like manner, there can be
no doubt, as Col Morrison states that they were
entirely without money
In this connection we may mention that when
these prisoners were first brought here they ex.
hibited every sign Of repentance and sorrow for
the part they had taken in this dread rebellion.
and epoke with gratitude Of the undeserved kind
ness they had received at the hands of their en-.
lghtened captors. Now, how is it with them

able breadth Of land has been probably devoted
to the cultivation Of the Cane in Southern Iowa
and very large amount Of syrup manufactured,
SO much so as to cut off almost entirely tho im-
portation of nlolasses, and greatly reduce that

improved from year to year, with perceptible
improvement in the syrup, which is quoted in
this market at $1,000 cents per gallon. Such
improvements as time will undoubtedly bring

able, at least, Southern Iowa to produce all the
sugar and molasses needed for home consump-
ton, and thus be independent. Within few
days We have been shown very fair sugar, whittier
than New Orleans, and in other respects equal
to it, made in this State from cane grown on our
soil, by Mr.. Brainard, of Linn county. He has
procured patent for sugar boiler, now being
manufactured by Mr.. Hendrie in this city, with
which, he claims, any farmer can manufacture
the best of syrup upon his own farm. We know
nothing about it, But We have always felt sat
sfed that in the end superior sugar and molas-
| ses would be made from Imphee. Whether Mr..
Brainardis Sugar Boiler will do all he claims for
| il or not, We are confident this result will be
finally attained, and for this reason hope that
cane will be grown in larger quantities the pre-.
scot season. A large refinery has been recently
established at Chicago, where Sorghum syrup
is reboiled, purified, and greatly improved. All
other expedients failing, part Of the crop might
be sent to Chicago, as ar experiment. At any

pound of sugar, growing sugar cane will be
found great deal more profitable than raising

scarcely avoid the reflection that if ministers of
