Fifteenth Regiment at Yorktown.

:
A friend has furnished US with the following
rect list of the killed and wounded of this regiment
in the recent skirmish with the enemy on Warwick
river. We learn that only 500 Of the regiment
were engaged, against three or four times their
number. The enemy had taken possession of the
rifle pits, and the 18th fought them two hours and
ntteen minutes, without aid from any quarter, and
at length drove them back with heavy loss:

This efficient branch of the service, when the
country Is invaded like Virginia, Tennessee and
Eastern North Carolina, have several times urged
upon the attention of our men of courage and en-
terprisc. We have some daring men, trained fox
hunters, who can do much in this service. Four or
five such companies led by of the right stamp,
could drive the foraging and maraudng parties con-
nected with Burnside's forces, who are committing
such depredations in Jones, Carteret and Onslow
Counties, into his lines and keep them there or kill
and capture them. Where are the men for this
work :?

President to commission officers to form bands of

Photographic the ECllDse.

The Paris correspondent of the
London Photographic NstOs says:
Photographers and astronomers are
on the qui vive, making their prepara-
tions to observe the eclipse of the sun
on the 31st of December next, to
which the recent discoveries Of NM
Bunsen and Kjrchoff in celestial chem
istry impart new and additional in
terest.
One point to which observation will
be specially directed is the examina-
ton of the spectrum of the corona,
with which the moon will be surroun-
ded for a moment, in that portion
nearest the sun, to see if this aureola
exhibits an inversion Of the ordinary
solar spectrum, or not, that is to say,
whether FrauenhOfer's rays will be
replaced by brilliant lines.
Since the publication of the labors
of NM. Bunsen and Kirchoff, the
question of solar atmosphere has
acquired a basis. and is susceptible of
proof by direct experiment. If, for
example, the spectrum of the aureoIa,
which will Oe produced on the 31st OF
December next, exhibits to US an in
version of the solar spectrum, the
much vexed question will be solved,
and the existence of a solar atm os-
phere will become a definite scientific
fact. If the contrary should be the
case, we may be compelled to admit
that absorption takes place in the
substance of the atmosphere, the sur
face of which emits not only all the
rays, but which doubtless contributes
to the light of the sun by part of its
thickness; whichever it may be, the
experiments is not impractieable, as il
has already been performed. Sig.
Fusinieri, of Vicenza, on the occasion
of the magnificent solar eclipse oi
1912, snalyzed the spectrum of the
aureOla. It appears, however, that be
did not attach that Importance to II
that recent discoveries have rendered
evident. He contented himself with
remarking that green was entirely
absent from the spectrum Of the au
reOla. The season at which the com
ing eclipse takes place does not en-
courage the expectation Of fair wealth
sr; but we hope for the best.

Sprlng Wheat IN Nebraska.

Sowing Spring Wheat In Nebraska.
Some experiments that have been
made the past season, and in fact for 4
number of years in Minnesota and Wis.
consin, in regard to the time and manner
of sowing spring wheat. prove conclusive
ly that very early, or winter sowing, is
much the best to insure a good crop. A
friend Of mine in Minnesota. who for
years has sown spring wheati in Febrt ary
or early in March, has never failed ic

the past season, there was an extra yielr
produced by this early sowing mode. W.
have witnessed its success on old ground
as well as sod or new broken land. =
Take one hushel and a half per acre
measure your land as we'll as your grain;
SOW this upon sod broken last summer,
without blowing or narrowing beforehand;
then 90 over it both with apd across the

row until your grain IS covered. This
should be done in February, IL there is
sufficient thaw 10 admit; or, if not then,
certainly in March very early. The

toned energy and tact at adaptation,
we should in that branch exceed our
best hopes. But the cultivation of
Sorghum next year will absorb many
fields heretofore devoted to corn
For instance, one farm near Lodi, will
put in 500 acres, and pledge 500 more
by his immediate neighbors. The soil
is good, and this one thousand acres
may be Set downas good for a quarter
of a million gallons Of syrup.
But we are not yet passed the period
of experimenting. We do not kaOw
hOo0 to clarity the syrup at home. The
best clarified we have seen has taste
of the extraneous vegetable matter
which comes from the cane with the
juice. We want this taken out of the
juice before it is brought to the boiling
point, and not boiled in. ''Boiling it
in makes it thicker" as a lubberly
farmer said the other day; but taking
it outmakes it purer, healthier, clearer,
and every way better. How shall it
be done?
Do but give US this secret, and let
US know how to clarity and sufficiently
refine the crude syrups at the farms
orvillages where the juice is expressed
and the Northwest is good for all the
syrups that the whole Yankee nation
can consume. We can then sell a
good article at 35 cents per gallon,
and make double from land and labor
what we could at corn, oats, or wheat.
Another thing, give us the key to
the secret of bringing the crystalliza-
BILE sugar to perfection in the plant
the time and manner of cutting for
this purpose-and we can also in a
year or two, meet any demand for
sugar. C. T. c.

IFrOm the Country Gentleman and Cultivato1l ]
ACCIimaliOn,

EDS. Co. GENT.-No acclimation or
variation of character ever takes place
in the eTistipg races of animals or
plants-no matter to what region the
former may migrate, or the latter be
carried by man. Under every cir
cumstance their moral condition is
transmitted with them unchanged and
unchangable. The idea, therefore,
that an animal introduced from for
eign country does, after few years,
change or conform its character to the
climate of its new location, is entirely
erroneous. The negro, whose congo
nial climate is the burning regions of
Ethiopia, after dwelling for years in a
more northern region, still shivers
with cold at the first approach of
winter, to which the white man is in
sensible. The plant from a warmer
cline perishes at the first frost, when
transferred tothe colder regions of the
north. But nature ever provident
presents us with ameliorating condi-
tions, not abrupt, but the gradual
effect of her harmonizing Influences
Acclimation and amelioration of the
character and condition of migratory
animals and plants and special attri-
butes or qualities that attach solely to
their progeny, and seminal reproduc-
ion can alone effect such change, and
then only gradually through succeed
ing generations. This result is based
on great natural law, by which every
animal, tree or plant partakes in a
degree of the character and soil of
the country and locality where it is
generated. The acclimation of the
Persian grape, Vitis vimi;fera, be sem
inal reproduction in Italy and France,
to its present condition, still requiring
winter protection, and subject to eli
mate disease, has been labor of 1000
years. When first introduced the
vine could not support the winters of
Mediterranean France, but by the es
tablishment of government nursery

of seedlings, myriads ofseedlings were
produced, and the most hardy selected

4 writer in the Cincinnati Gazette
throws out some good hints in regard to
this crop as follows:
DETERIoRATIoN OF soRGUM.
There is still something to be learned
by a great many on the subject. It is
well asceralned that the plant is liable
to detoriate from various causes. The
Juice this year was much inferior 10 that
of last. Then the average was 9 sacch0-
romenter while this it was 6 only two
thirds as sweet At first it was difficult
to attribute this TO any sufficient cause
1t was thought the fact of cold spring
and late planting the drought afterwards
almost firing the cane and then the rain
after harvest producing rapid growth,
making large amount of water IN the
plant, would explain 1t.
IMPURE sEED-HXBRIDIzATIo
But whatever influence these causes
may have had, there is another which,
probably, has had more to do with the
deterioration, viz the impurity of the
seed. In large number of instances,
occasional stalks of clear broom.corn we're
found, and the mixed character Of the
tops and seed showed evidently that it
had hybridized. In some specimens, the
Juice only indicated 2 sacCharometer. .-----
Seed from such cane ought never to be
planted. Pure unadulterated seed should
only be used at whatever cost. This Is
easily obtained in abundance; and in or
der to avoid failure and Disappointment,
none should be sed but such as is known
to be pure.
SOIL AND EARLY PLANTING,
Another important thing to be under
stood is that il requires good soil and
early planting. Some writer's have rec
commeded it 10 be planted on clay soil,
and their advice has been literally fol-
lowed by planting where there was moth
ing but clay. Instead of having fine
crop of cane, they had crop of fine cane.
One mans cane was so very fine that
three common wagon-loads was all he
raised on an acre, whereas he ought ID
have had at least dozen. It is proba-
bly, true that clay sub-soil yields the
sweetest JUICE, but then 1t must have some
rich loan on the surface.
WILL IT PAYl
/ Give your cane the best ground yot
have, such as you know will produce fifty
/ or sixty bushels of corn per acre, ant
you may look for it to pay. An acre o.
good cane will yield from 100 to 200 gal
Ions, which, at 40 cents per gallon, al
average price, will be $40 to $50. Now
an average acre of corn is worth SI2
and the labor of gathering and hauling Il
market is about equal to gathering tht
cane and making the syrup. Besides
the seed of the cane is as good or better
than so many bushels of oats for any pur
pose to which oats are applied, while tht
fodder is worth double that of corn.
Having had some experience in the cul
ture of Sorghum and Imphee. we say &
word on the difference. Sorghum is tht
best for general culture, as it will grow
and ripen earlier. The Imphee require;
a warmer and richer soil. Those wht
have warm and sandy loom will succeed
well with the Imphee.-PrGiris Farmer

An Ok WITH A WOODEN LEG.-An
exchange says:
A Pennsylvania farmer had an OK
which, while grazing, stepped into q
post-hoIe and broke ist leg. 1t being
too lean to kill, the farmer consulted a
physician, who advised cutting of the
leg and substituting a wooden one,
which was done. The OK got we'll,
was fatted, and sent to Philadelphia
marke:, where the beef was pronounced
of the best quality.

THE WHITE CHINESE EGG PLANTS.
Ever since the white egg plant has
been before the public, and advertised in
the catalogues, it has been esteemed a.
ornamental, and the seed so Recommended
when sent out. This year we raised
some very fine ones from seed sent
US from Boston. They looked fne. and
we had some of them cooked; after that
we used no more of the purple or scarlet.
It is Of better flavor than the other kinds,
twice as productive, and raised with a
great deal less trouble. They are much
earlier than the old varieties, and do no,

Many persons unskilled in planting
these seeds, fail to make them grow
These seeds, when they have become
dry. will seldom or never vegetate By
simply sowing them in the spnng as other
seeds. For the benefit Of such unforta-
mates we give below our method, which
never fails if the seed is good.
Take boxes about six inches high,-as
long and as broad as you can conveniently
carry them when filed with earth, let
it be mould or decomposed sod, FIJI the
boxes to within two inches of the top.
place your seed in this about one half inch
deep and sink your boxes in the ground,

fine rotten manure. raise a little mound
over the box of earth, and leave it until
