men to declare that Treason must

From the Iowa State Register.
Sorghum In Iowa.

Below will be found an extract from the
forthcoming Report of the State Agriculture
Society relative to the manufacture of sugar
and molasscs from Sorghum grown in this
State. The fact has been demonstrated abun
dainty that cane from the Sorghum and I'm
phee seed can be matnred even in the most
Northern Counties in this State, and tina,
with ordinary care and skill, the product o.
the crop can be made far more remunerativC
than the ordinary grain crops. The chic
difficulty thus far has been that our farmers
hsve failed to obtain that purity and flavor
in the manufacture of the cane Juice into
syrup which is desirable. This is not the
fault of soil, climate, or the cane product -
but results simply from the inexperience oil
! the inattention of the manufacturers. With.
in the last week we have seen Sorghum syr.
up made in one of the Southeastern coun-
ties of Iowa, equal to the best sugar-house
syrup. The statements made below give an
insight into the best moGcs of manufacture,
and we publish them that every cane grow.
or may have the benefit Of them.
- Until the Pro-Slavery Rebellion shall be
ended and the Mississippi shall again bear
upon its broad surface the products of the
old Sugar Growing States, it may become a
matter of necessity as well as choice that the
Northwest shall grow its own sugar as well
AS grain and meat. That we can do 1t, has
been proved by the limited experience we
have had. The only point to be settled is
how soon we shall produce moasses and
sugar, aceU. This problem is one for every
Iowa farmer to solve for himself.

The Atmosphere.

Our atmosphere extends to height OF
some forty five miles above the surface of the
earth, but such is the varying density of the
air, that when you have risen to the height
of about three miles in the atmosphere, you
have then ABOUT onc-half of the total weight
of the air below you. Although we gener-
ally regard the air as an exceedingly light
material, still its absolute weight is far from
being inconsiderable. 1t is sl5t times lighter
than water, and more than II 900 times
lighter than mercury. Still, if you conceive
a column of atmospheric air extending from
this table. upward to the extreme limits OF
the atmosphere, and measure only an inch
square. that column Of air weighs fifteen
pounds. \ moderate sized room contains
sufficient air to crush inan to death, if il
could be collected together and placed upon
him. .... .........-- .-..-
The composition Of the atmosphere has
for many years engaged the attention ofchem-
lists The first experiments that were made
upon the composition of air after it had been
asccrtained that it consisted chiefly of two
gasses-namely, nitrogen and oxygen-led
to the inference that its components Were
liable to very considerable variations. 1t was
found that sometimes there was only about
IS per cent. of oxygen, at other times 20, and
