Sugar from Unripe Canes.

L. F. Hadley, of Chicago, ILL.,, who
has had considerable experience
with the Chinese Sugar Cane, says,
in a communication to the Prairie
Farmer, that the time to make Su-
gar, commences when the cane be-
gins to mature. and ends when the
cane is fully ripe, after which it will
make good molasses, but not sugar.
Several years. trial has convinced
him that this is the case, and in IL
Iustration he gives the results from
cane cut lust as the seed was begin
ming to turn brown, which granulat-
ed finely, while the cirup from the
rest of the field, cut when fully ripe,
refuses to sugar off" He recon
mends to cut early, and work it up
as fast as possible, but thinks it will
make sugar late, if cut before fully
ripe.

be in very good condition or very

for draining wet meadows, and for

Farm Work for August.

The season for planting -nd cult
waiting, the labor of the grain and
hay harvest being pretty well con-
cluded, other cares will command
now the farmers attention. The
thrashing of grain, and preparation
Of falIows, &C.. will be carried on.
FALLowING.-The important work
ofpreparing fallow for wheat, should
be begun early, if the ground be in
good condition to pillow; first, lest Ia
ter in the season it becomes hard
from want Of rain, and it may not
be done in time, and in the second
place, because it is we'll settled, that
early following is better for the
crop. Begin early, and you have,
too, time enough to do your work
well, without hurrying or forcing.
BUSHES AND BRIARs.-It is hardly
necessary to remind you that briars
and bushes should be thoroughly ex-
tirpated, not only from your plowed
ground, but from every fence cor
ner. On whatever crop the hoe is
used, the work does not stop at the
end of the row, but goes on to the
fence, taking out every useless
plant.
THRAsHING GgA1an It is well
to be thorough w ~ thrashing your
grain early. Take a word of eau
ton in guarding against accidents,
by which the limbs or lives Of valu
bic servants are frequently lost
1st. Let none but careful and per-
feet sober hands be trusted about
the working part of the machine
ID. When necessary to handle the
working parts of the machine, IN
hitch the horses; they may start sud
denly and cause an accident. 3D..
Let none but a careful and expert
enced hand be allowed to put on or
take off the belt, and caution him a.
gainst putting his finger between
the belt and pulley. 4th. Have a
machine go constructed that the
feeders hands will be in no danger
of reaching the teeth of the thrasher.
5th. Have a perfect platform, solid
Iy secured, for the driver to stand
upon.
Keep late potatoes well worked,
till they are in JUL bloom.
RYE.-the preparation for this
crop should be made this month, so
that you may sow the first week of
September. 1t is we'll adapted to
such lands as are too light to grow
wheat proftably. It is not TO be
expected, however, that profitable
crop of this or anything else is to
be made upon poor land, without
manuring. If it is to be sown a.
mong the standing corn, put it in
with cultivators; and if the ground
has not been pretty we'll manured
for the corn, give it a dressing e.
quail to hundred pounds of Peruvi-
an guano.
SOWING TIMOTHY If you mean to
SOW a timothy meadow, prepare
your ground thoroughly this month.
If you think proper to take crop
of turnips from the land this fall, be
in readiness to SOW by the 18th or
Goth of the month. Give an extra
dressing of manure, and you may
SOW your timothy and turnip seed
together, and get crop of the latter
which will pay the expense of cul'
tivation and manuring. We do not

meadows, except where the charact'

allow it to remain two or three years
after the grain crop with which II
may bO sOwn. The crop decreases

The book of Job is generally regarded
as the most perfect specimen of the poetry
of the Hebrews. It is alike picturesque,
in the delineatiOn of individual pheno-
mena and artistically skillfnl in the
didactic arrangement of the whole work.
In all the modern languages into which
the Book of Job has been translated, its
ina ages, drawn from the natural scenery
Of the East, leave deep impression on
the mind "The Lord walketh on the
heights of the waters, on the ridges of the
wave towering high beneath the force of
the wind. 1.-The morning red has color
ed the margin of the earth, and variously
formed the covering Of the clouds, as the
hand of man hold the yielding clay -
The habits of animals are described, as,
for instance, those of the wild ass, the
horse, the buffalo, the rhinoeerus and the
rrocodile, the eagle and the ostrich
We see ''pure ether spread, during the
heat of the south wind, as a melth mirror
over the parched DESERT" @ GtS
The poetic literature of the Hebrews
is not deficient in variety of folm, for
while the Hebrew poetry breathes war
like enthusiasm, from Joshua to Samuel,
the little book of the cleaner Ruth pre-
>entS us with a charming and exquisite

OF his enthusiasm ior the east, spoke Of it

The squares at waterlo..


During the bHttle our squares presented a
shocking sight. Inside We were nearly suffI-
Gated by the smoke and from burnt cartridges.
1t was impossible TO move yard without
treading uEon a wounded comrade, or upon
the bodies of the dead; and the loud groana of
the wounded and dying were m st appalling.
At four o'clock our square was perfect hos
pilal, being full of dead, dying, and mutilated
soldiers. The charges of cavalry were in ap-
pearance very formidable, but 10 reality a
great relief as the artillery could no longer
fire on us; the very earth shook qnd the enor-
nous mass of men and horses. never shall

great execution. but our muskeiry did not at
first seem TO kill many men; though il brought
down large number of horses, and creaIed
ndescriUabe confusion. The horses of the
first rank OF cuirassiers, in spite Of all the eff
oris of their riders, came to a stand-stili, sha-
king and covered with foam, at about twenty

than the behavior of those veterans, many OF
whom had distinguished themselves on hall
Of the battle fields Of Europe. In the midst
of our terrible fire. their officers were seen as

encouraging them. Unable to renew their
charge, but unwilling to retreat, they brarSiish-
