2. The ripper the cane the more fire.,

8. High manuring increases the quan
lity and improves the quality Of the syr
up, but appears to developc an undue
amount of gnpe sugArl which prevent,
granulation hence high manuring is no,
advisable if sugar is the object. Use nc
hog manure--it renders the syrup bitter.
4. The 9th to the 18th of May is the
proper time to plant.
5. Sorghum is the best for syrup-Im-
phe for sugar.
6. Fifteen plants in hill is not too

but stalk the size Of the finger has as
much saocharine juice as one twice that

7. Keep II thoroughly clear from ,cseds,
