BY the figures you send, which pre-

the quotas for the draft, in these two

the difference between an average 1900
in one class and 1894 in the other. AS
suming that the districts are equal one 70

Chemical Elements OF Sugar.

Although Sugar is estimated very
great luxury by all classes, and in
fact can not easily be dispensed with
the elements of which it is composed
are very common indeed, and may be
seen wherever there is water and char.
coal. Yet who would think of sweet
ening their tea and coffee, or pound
cakes, with such very common stuff?:''
The term Sugar, however, compre-
hends a great number of saccharine
or sweet substances, some of which
are presented in the following table.
A list of similar, or analogous SUBJ
stances, is also included, With the
constituent elements of each, showing
how richly these luxuries abound all
around us, and require only little
intelligence and skill to produce them
in great abundance.
Together, they form a very inter-
esting group of elements, termed by
chemists nonazontized bodies, or those
substances that contain, no nitrogen,
but are composed of carbon, hydrogen
and oxygen-the two latter in such
proportion as form water.

Sorghum.

Millions of gallons ofexcellent syr-
up have been produced in the western
and northern States during the past
season. How many millions We can
not at present say; but more than one
thousand mills have been made and
sold in this city alone during the past
year; while Dayton and Columbus,
Piqua and Cleveland, and Richmond,
Indianapolis, and almost every city in
these northwestern States have fur
ished largely of the Sorgho machine
ry. Probably none owning a mill has
made less than 100 gallons ofthe syr-
up, and some have gone as high as
10000 gallons and one firm in Illinois
has probably reached $4,000 gallons
for this season alone. fit be hum
bug, it is surely getting to be a very
large one; and if we may Judge from
the satisfactory reports Of its cultiva>
tors, it is one which will pay well.
This, however, We shall speak Of
elsewhere, and now give some items
of the early history of Sorgho, and its
introduction into the country.
The term, SOrgho, is Japanese,
or a Chinese word, and by them ap-
Piled to large number of gramina, OF
grasses, many of which are not prop.
ably sugar producing plants. The
Japanese, who, in respect to agricule
ture, are more elninently advanced
than the Chinese, cultivate the Sorgho
to extract from 1t sugar and alcohol.
We have further evidence of It's
cultivation in China, in an article in a
| French journal entitled "L'Utile et
lPAgreable," in which the writer says
at Shanghae, the plant is cultivated
under the name of the North China
sugar cane. The Chinese Tartari
value it exceedingly, and at the great
exhibition or exposition, at Mos
COW. in the year 1852,some of The
stalks we're exhibited under the title

The first appearance of the Sorgho,
in Europe, we believe, dates no fur
ther back than 1851, at which time
Count de Montigny, the then consul
Of France at Shanghae, in China, sent
collection of plants and seeds to the
Geographical Society of Paris, among
them the ''sugar cane of the north of
China" About the same time MIR.
Leonard Wray sent to the same insti-
tuition some seeds Of a plant having
much the appearance and properties
of the Sorgho, from the east rcOastiof
Africa, the country of the Zula Kafirs.
Through the interest which he i'm
parted to the subject, considerable at
tention was given TO its culture and
manufacture, and probably to none is
more credit due than the celebrated
seedsmen of Paris, Messrs. Eilmorin,
Andreux & Co. a- sdi

morin, planted some ofthe seed with
great care, and made many expert
ments during the season of their
growth, the results of which fully sat-
isfed him of its great value, and led
him to publish, in 1854, the results of
his experiments under the title Of Gre
searches upon the Sorgho Suere."
Ia that year, the agent of the Q. S.
Patent Office, who had visited Europe
for the purpose of procuring seeds for
the Agricultural department, return
ed, bringing with him quantity Of
the seed of the Sorgho, which he had
obtained from M. Vilmorin and thus
we have it's first Introduction into this
country.
The seeds were distributed from the
Patent Office, to various parties. North
and South, and during the following
year, 1866, were extensively expert
mented upon BY several enterprising
planters aud farmers, and reports, with
specimens Of syrup and sugar, were
exhibited before several agricultural
associations, all of which demonstrate
ed its utility and Importance.

on the tissues of the cows body. On the
other hand, cows which in farmers par
lance "run TO milk J" may be made poor,
even their bones weakened, and if preg-
nanu, their calves rendered small and
weak by protracting the milking period
and keeping them on scanty and innutri-
tious fare, In connection TO i'll treatment
otherwise.
1t has been said that the milking habit
in cows is 10 a great degree induced by
cultivation, as when left 10 themselves fOr
several generations, they cease to yield
more than is barely necessary to sustain
their calves for shcrt time from their
birth, or until they can live on other food,
No doubt this is true to certain extent
but we see that there is a great differ
eRce in cows; naturally, both in regard
10 their daily yield Of milk under the
same treatment and circumstances, as
well as to the length of time they con-
linue in milk. Those which give the least
milk might of course be MIXED longer
time without injury to themselves or their
calves; but generally speaking such cows
will go dry for some time in spite of all
efforts to the contrary, while great milk
ers under fair feeding are often dried
with difficulty, even for the period requir-
ed for the support of their own system
and that of their offspring.
Again, the object for which COWS are
kept are somewhat various. The man
who has but one COW, generally keeps
that one for her milk He wants milk
every day in the year, and he wants to
get it if possible from his own cow. He
cares nothing for her calf, as he never
rears one, and the longevity of the COW
is of less consequence than a constant
supply of milk. Everything is subordin-
ate to this, and when the COW is worn out
another takes her place. Where cows
are kept wholly for the sale of milk, a
course similar to the above is sometimes
pursued. 90 ta8
|. But where cows are kept for the man.
ufacture of butter and cheese, the system
of management is different. 1t is not
desired to have much milk in cold wealth
er, as neither butter nor cheese can gen.
orally be made to advantage on alarge
scale except under mild temperature,
Hence the object is to have all the cows
''cOme in'' near the commencement of
the butter or cheese. making season, and
they are usually dried up at its close, or
at the recurrence Of cold weather. By
this course the cows do not require so
high feeding as they would if MIXED
longer. Good hay, In connection with
proper shelter and care, would be suf-
cient to sustain them In fair condition.
Their constitutions will not be impaired,
their calves will be born strong and
healthy, and all the essential requisites
of thrifty and profitable stock secured.
We might say, then, that where it is
intended to rear stock, and the keeping
of the cows is not superior to good hay
in winter and grass in summer, both the
cows and their progeny will do better to
go dry not less than two months. -BoS-

Thus cane Sugar, as above shown,
consists of "a equivalents of carbon,
or coal, % of hydrogen and % of OK
ygen; the last two nothing more nor
less than the elements of pure water.
The proportion il which these ele-
ments exist by sOe;ght, are, carbon, IA
parts; hydrogen %, and oxygen, 176
parts, so that mixture of IA parts
of carbon with 198aparts ofpure wa
ter, contains all the elements, and in
their exact proportions, to form that
cnoice luxury so extensively sought
for in the juice of sugar. cane.
Who would think, for moment, of
making choice delicacies from gum
arabic, or old rags, and yet, on re-
ference to the above table, the same
elements are found to exist, and in
nearly the same proportion. aaL
The experiment of ascertaing the
elements of Sugar, or any of the above,
is very simple one, and may be per-
formed as follows:
Expose portion of the sugar or
substance to a mild destructive heat,
on plate, and the water, in the form
of steam aud gas, with little of the
carbon, will be liberated or driven off,
leaving nothing but mass of COAL
And if tbs steam be collected and
weighed, and compared with the coal,
their proportion will be nearly as
above stated.
But although sugar is easily reduc'
ed to these homely, odd, elements, the
work of uniting them, so as to produce
the bright saccharine crystals of su'
gar, is performed only in the mysteri-
Gus crucibles of nature, where these
constituents are reduced to gaseous

The Cultivation OF Clover.

Now IS the time to think over and
talk over the plans for next springs
operations. What shall 1 SOW. or
plant? what lands plow? what lay
down tograss? how much ? and many
other things that should be decided
upon long before the swallows come.
These plans agree with the mer-
chants, manufacturers, builders, art
lists, and most of the occupations OF
life. Why should not the farmer be
equally far-sighted and systematic? +?
We have often advocated the e1l-
taIre of clover to a much greater extent
than is now common among our farm
ers, and We feel like pressing it with
unwearied earnestness every time we
have a conversation with intelligent
farmers, or read the opinion of those
who have given the subject attention.
We find an account of the condition
of farming in Germany in the 18th
and beginning of the 18th century,
"The only winter food the farmer had
for his cattle, besides bad and sour
meadow herbage, consisted of white
turnips, carrots, cabbage and potatoes;
and even of these, there were no
great store, because the fields had
ceased to produce when unmanured
This scanty food was, throughout the
whole winter, whilst it lasted, made
still scantier by sleeping and boiling
to exc it out, and when at last it came
to an end, the cattle had to starve on
barley, oat and pea straw. The
coming of spring was anxiously await
ed to get few cuttings Of the young
wheat shoots, and the cattle were sent
to the commons, whence the poor
beasts returned at night nearly fam
ished." This is the description, Lie
big says, given of the then state Of
agriculture in Germany, by John
Christian Schubert, when the Emper>
or, Joseph H., Created Knight of the
Holy Roman Empire, bestoying upon
him the style and title of Ritter VOr
Kleefeld, knight of Clover Field
as mark of imperial appreciation Of
the eminent services rendered by hin
in the introduction of the cultivation o
clover into Germany. This new cul
ture was held with acclamation al
over the Empire. The peasants who
grew clover received silver "clovel
dollars" to wear round the neck, and
the good Schubert said-''If you viii
grow clover, and will strictly follow
my directions, you will have ample
cause for rejoicing, and for praising
the Lord out Of the fullness of you
heart for His rich blessings" w
believe the assertion of Schubert vii
hold good with our Prairie farmers
and hope they will make the trial ant
see.

and IFS SAdulteFatiOn.


Product of the fern entation of apples,
cider varies in its quality according to
the specie and the maturity Of the fruits
as well as according to the epoch of the
blossom.
In general, sweet apples give, in small
quantity, a clear cider, agreeable as long
as it is sweet. but little alcoholic and but
little bitter when fermentation is over
Bitter apples give a juice very dense,
colored, which ferments long time and
produces a generous cider, of an agree
able, vinous, flavor, and Of long pres
ervation. Acid or sour apples, used
alone, give a juice but little dense, little
colored, little alcoholic. and susceptible
of becoming black by the contact Of air
and of light.
As to the influence of blossom, the
tardy apples, gathered in November, af-
ford the best products, viz: cider rich
in alcohol, of a good color and of long
preservation.
If it is important to sort certain varie-
rieties, it is not less important to use
those which come, at the same, to point
of maturity. and Of not putting together
green fruits with mature or rotten fruits.
1t is also essential that the apples
should benot put in the press Immediately
after being gathered, as they do notyei
contain all the sweet principle they may
acquire and, on the other hand, you
must avoid going beyond the point Ol
maturity, as then the decomposition oi
