Sorghum Sugar and Syrup.

= . b E #H II
1 During the past four years the State Of
Iowa has addetla very important branch to
her agriculture, in the Production sof Syrup
and Sugar. So marked has been the success
that suificientof the former has been made
during the past year to meet all the wants OF
her people, affording about twenty five gal
Ions to q family, of a quality equal to the av-
erage Of the Southern manufactured article
heretofore used in the State This point
was the highest ever anticipated by the most
sanguine on the introduction of the Chinese
Sugar Cane into the State. We xviii 20 far
beyond it, and make tens of thousands of
gallons for expectation, with the aid of the
refinery, which has turned it into an article
equal, it not superior to the best syrup ever
made. But we will not stop here Our peo-
pie have successfully demonstrated that SUI
gar can be made with as much ease as orr
first efforts in procuring a palatable syrup
The year that first demonstrated that impor-
tant fact, was not more successful with the
syrup, than the past year has been in turn
ing syrup into sugar. One hundred and fifty
thousand dollars could not purchase the su
gar made from Sorghum aud Imphee during
the past year. Within another four wears.
every farmer in Iowa, from half an acre of
Sorghum, will be able to produce, and doubt
less will produce, sufficient Syrup and Sugar
for his wants, and have enough of both to
spare for numerous families who NAV become
dependent upon them We cannot be too
thankful as a people for our present and pros
pective independence in this now great ne.
cessity OF life, when the great sugar produ,
eng plantations of the South are shut out
from our reach. Our sister States, Illinois
and Ohio, have made almost equally rapid
strides in the same direction, and instead of
being tributary to others, they will, like Iowa.
make many OF. their sister States tributary to
them. The amount of Sorghum Syrup made
III Iowa this year, will save in Syrup and
Sugar not less than enc million and q
hdy OF dollars for the year, 1861. = The pres
ent year will doubtless show an exhibit of at
least hall million more, as extensive. prep.
arations are being made to grow greater
breadth of land and manufacture with the
most approved machinery. Wooden mills
are fast disappearing and iron crushers ia
king their places, which, with the most ap.
proved evaporating pans and greater skill
cannot fail to prove the truth of our predc-
ton.
In all this, however we hope no one who
reads this, will be induced to go into the cul-
ture OF sorghum on an extensive scale, as it
is extremely doubtful whether il can thus be
made profitable, without a greater outlay of
capital than one person in ten thousand pos
sesses. The greatest profit is in each farmer
raising an acre or two, and two or three of
them uniting 10 buy an iron mill and cvape-
rator. BY so doing the cane can all be work
ed up at the proper time and at the least ex-
pcnse III \ 4 u i T.

Wheat.

1t is now generally admitted that wheat is
the poorest paying crop we produce. Some
years ago, when immigration to and through
the State afforded market at home, wheat
raising paid about as well as any other farm
product; but when our farmers produce
from three to four times the quantity needed
for home consumption, and 1t costs nearly all
it is worth to take bushel of gram to the
nearest prominent market, it is time they
would turn their attention to better paving
crops. The grasses, in which is included
corn, must ever be the foundation of our
wealth as an agricultural people; yet we
want good share Of wheat, for our own use,
and there are many Of our farmers who will
continue to make It leading crop, whether
it pays or not, perhaps doubling the venture
next year, like the gambler, and lose their
labor again, as it is too precarious crop and
cannot be relied upon with the system of cul-
tivation generally practiced in our State
The most disastrous years in this State for
wheat and other small grains were 1857 and
1853, when our whole wheat CROP only aver
| aging fraction oyer.four bushels per acre
for 1858, and oats were nearly an entire fail
ure in the latter year; yet even in thes.
| years we have the testimony of some sixty or
seventy farmers, living in every section of
the State, that they produced good crops,
and which averaged over thirty bushel per
acre. The leading causes for success in these
instances were fall blowing and drainage
The lands occupied were not drained attic
tally, but presumed to be so from the fact
that these exemplary crops are reported ex-
cept in one instance, to be produced on high
rolling prairie, both near to and remote from
timber. Had attention been paid to the Sc.
lection of the Same kind of land Throughout,
the State, the result would have been an av.
erage yield Of at least twelve to fourteen bush.

AN EpIDEMIc-A disease has made its
appearance in Louisa county which is killing
the hogs at a rapid rate. E. NJ. j. writes to
the Iowa Homestead in relation to it, which

Hoe DIsEAsE.--A disease has broken out
among the hogs Of this vicinity, and is carry
ing them off rapidly. As ye! the epidemic
is confined to this town, and immediate
neighborhood, where several hundred have
died since the first Of March. The first symp-
tom Of the disease is violent darrh9a.-
Which continues two or three days, when the
hog commences coughing and Wheeling, and
his throat becomes swollen and inflamed,
and from three to five days from the first at
tack the animal dies.
Many remedies have been suggested and
tried, but without any good effect. Rubbing
the throat of the animal with turpentine has
done more good than anything else. If any

Since our last weeks report on the crops,
we have learned with regret Of the ravages Of
the fly in Central Illinois, and in portions of
our own State. From the Springfield en-
journal We learn that the estimated damage
by the fly, in Sangamon county, is one mil
lion dollars. Near Gencseo the fly has made
its appearance in nearly every field and is
working great destruction. Near Rockford,
the Register says, eve hear Of many wheat
fields being plowed up on the account of the
Ay." From the Springfield Republican !:
Il We fnd," it says, "loud complaints are
coming in from the farmers in this and ad-
joining localities because Of the almost total
oss7cf the wheat crop. The chief depreda.
tor is the fly" Whole fields have been
plowcd up and planted to corn. One farmer
has plowed up more than one hundred acres.
Chess seems also in many places to be usurp-
ing tho place of wheat, SO that, on the whole,
it may be set down that this crop in Central
Illinois will'bo very light. .- Z ri =
We have made considerable inquiry of the
farmers in olr Valley, but can learn nothing
Of the appearance Of the fly in this section.
Wheat never looked better. 1t has been
thought by some that the fly does not work
on spring wheat, but this is mstake-it
works on both fall and spring wheat. We
made trip into the country few days
since. We never saw the grass crop looking
better. We saw field of red clover that
excclled any we have ever seen in the State.
It was in blossom. Timothy looks well.
Fruit promises an abundant crop. In fact,
every thing looks we'll but corn. The warm
days We are having about this time will help
the corn crop. We had some fine showers
during the last week North of our town, that
will be a benefit to vegetation. Upon the
whole We are favored people-if nothing
prevents the maturing Of the present crops.
Wo hope the farmers will keep us posted
IS to prospects of the crops in our Valley.

Nothing is better than good corn fodder 1t

It is excellent feed for sheep. A good way
is to SOW in drills, three feet apart, about

Wool MARXEr..-In New York the market
is reported active. The most desirable grades
arc not to be had at all. Sales during the
week have ranged from 4O@5o cents. Con-
tracts for new clip have been made at prices
ranging from 27a@4sc., for common Native
to choice Saxony. ..,.tt.
In Boston the transactions in wool have
been quite extensive, and better feeling
prevails as stocks have become considerably
reduced. The sales have been $4,000 to
100000 TBS, the fleece ranging from 27@50c.
The market closed firm, feeling for all kinds,
and prospects for good prices for the new clip.
The market here has hardly opened. A
few common to one-quarter blood lots have
been sold during the last week, at prices
ranging from 20@33c. We hope that our
wool growers who have not sheared will put
their clip up in good shape. Wool put up
right will sell from two to three cents higher
than in the slip-shod way it is done.
