Sorghum Moiasses.-The FIVE principal States of the
West for the production of sorghum molasses Missouri
Iowa Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio Their estimated pro-
ducton last year 726 gallons this year only
697OS82 gallons decrease of nearly three and quarter
millions of gallons. The amount of ground planted was
much greater than in 1862 but the frost diminished the
yield The annual consumption of moasses and sugar
prior to the about as 100000 gallons of moasses
and about o0O000O0O pounds of sugar the amount for
each inhabant, slaves excluded being hirtynne pounds
The increase of the consumption of sugar the United
States since 1910 227 per cent whilst the Of
population SO per cent. The Louisiana cane sugar
this year will not, it is supposed exceed thirty to fifty
thousand hogsheads and hence the country must rely
heavy importatons to supply its wants New modes to
supply it's sugar and moasses must be adopted by the
country and hence the monthly report for October very
properly directs public attention to the great Importance
of the first experiment making by the firm of Genner
Brothers, of New York city, at Chasworth Livingston &
Co.'S Illinois, to grow the sugar beet, and to manufacture
sugar from it.

BILE to them and the correspondence Of the Department
speaks Of them most encouraginely.

We-Tbe hog cholera scarcely exists in the Eastern
and Middle States but in Indiana and Illinois it prevails
in many counties that great danger exists of its spread
ing among the fattenug hogs In these States large
number of hogs have died Of this disease during the
and FALL The number of hogs in the great feeding
States of Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and Illinois is tcnhs
less than last year. causing reduction in the number fat
tened in these States of BOG 39 Their condition these
States is still lower, being 80 per cent below general
average 1t is believed that but few hogs will be suf-
GENTLY attened TO make pork to produce supply
of lard.
