SORGHUM AND ITS PRODUCTS.

From the forthcoming Report of the State

~ The entries of sugar made from sorghum
were 4, of syrup 16, of sugar from imphee 2,
syrup l.. The following is an abstract OF
the modes of manufacturing the best speci-
mems of syrup and sugar.
BY j. Grout, of Lancaster, KeokuL coun-
ty.-Used tall imphee with long close heads,
and black seeds; planted Goth May, and
made when well ripened, between the LIST and
9Th of October. After stripping the stalks,
cut tops off about 81 feet from the ground
Succeeded only with the butts in making
sugar. The tops made about one third less
in quantity. Crushed with an iron mill, and
about 40 gallons boiled speedily, and in a
pan 25 by As inches on the bottom, until it
became very thick; cleared it with lime wat
er, made strong, which was well mixed with
juice before it came to boiling point; kept it
well SKINNED When done, reduced it to
about one-fourth of the quantity. Four
patches were thus made and mixed together
well when poured into the barrel-one batch
a day. The quantity had reduced nearly
one-half 1t was stirred daily, fer ten OF
twelve days. 1t was then changed into bar
rel having head placed few inches above
the lower head, perforated with thirty or for
ty small auger holes, and covered with fan
mel, having faucet between the heads to
draw off the drained syrup. After draining
well, mostened with warm water, stirred 1t
up we'll then allowed it to drain again. This
was repeated The sample exhibited went
through this process three times, every time
becoming fairer. The amount of sugar from
the 20 gallons of syrup when al! is as dry as
sample, will be so pounds. Twenty gallons
of syrup from the sorghum, made the same
way is granulating finely. The syrup pre-
sented is from this sorghum, before it com
menced to granulate. ......9-

creased them wei; when filled, kept brisk

sheet iron damper fitted to slide between the
pan and fire when desired. A strong fire

When entirely cold, place in large jars, COW

and it was imagined that the salubrty of any
district depended upon the amount of oxy-
gen contained in the air of the district. But
these apparent differences in the composition
of the atmosphere were due entirely to the
defects of the modes of estimating the quan-
tity of nitrogen in the air, which were so de-
fective as to give rise to errors. When this
process of analysis became further perfected,
the opposite error was fallen into for short
time, and the indication that this more per-
feet method showed complete uniformity
in the composition of atmospheric air. Spec
linens of air taken from crowded cities, from
the country, and from great heights, were
all perfectly uniform in composition. As the
methods of analysis still further improved,
the ncorrecthess Of this conclusion was also
discovered, and it is found that there are va

Our Country's Call.

Lay down the axe, fling by the spade;
Leave in its track the toiling pillow;
The rifle and the bayOnet blade
For arms like yours were filter now;
And let the hands that ply the pen
Quit the light task, aud learn to WELD
The horseman's crooked brand, and reifs
The charger on the battle field.
Our country calls; away, away
To where the blood-stream blots the green.
Strike to defend the gentlest sway
That Time in all his course has seen.
See, from thousand coverts-see
Spring the armed foes that haunt her track :;
They rush to sme her down, and we
Must beat the banded traitors back.
Ho sturdy as the oaks We clearr,
And moved as soon to fear and flight,
Men of the glade and forest leave
Your woodcraft for the field Of fight,
The arms that WELD the axe must pour
An iron tempest on the foe;
Ills serried ranks shall reel before
The arm that lays the panther low.
And ye who breast the mountain storm
BY grassy steep or highland lake,
Come for the land ye love, TO form
A bulwark that no foe can break
Stand like your own gray cliffs that mock
The wfirlwind. stand in her defence;
The blast as soon shall move the rock
As rushing squadrons bear ye thence.
And We whose homes are by her grand
Swift rivers, rising far away,
Come from the depth Of her green land
As mighty in your march as they;
As terrible as when the rains
Have swelled them over bank and bourne
With sudden foods to drown the plains -0 r
And sweep along the woods uptorn.
And We who tTong, beside the deep,
Her ports and hamlets of the strand,
In number like the waves that leap
On his long mllrlnuring marge of sand.
Come, like that deep, when DER his brm,
lie rises, all his floods to pour,
And filings the proudcst barks that swim,
A helpless wreck against his shore.
Few, few were they whose swords, ofold,
Won the fair land in which we dwell;
But we are many, We who hold
The grim resolve to guard it well.
Strike for that broad and goody land,
BLOW after blow, till men shall see
That might and right move hand in hand,
And glorious must their triumph be.
