BEET SUGAR.

In recent complete and valuablo
work onFarm management, farm cropss
&C., (entitled-"How to make the Farm.
Pay',-and published by Zeigler, Me-
Curdy d. Co., of Phlladelphiai aud,
Chicago,) is most excellent chapter
on the cultivation and management OF
Beets tor sugar, from which we make
the following extract:
"The production of beet sugar.
throughout the world, is now about six
hundred and fifty thousand tons, or
one-fourth of the whole production OF
sugar. We have millions of acres adapt
ed to the cultivation of the sugar beet.
We have the best labor saving machin-
cry OF any country on the globe, and
there is no good reason why we should
not produce million IONS of sugar an-
nuaily, within ten years. LIN accord
ance with the practical aim of his work,
we slall endeavor to show shat it is to
our pecaniary, and especially to our ag-
ricultural Interests, to do so.
The cost o! raising the beet cannot,
under judicious cultivation, exceed
three dollars per ton, and we think that
they can be raised for two dollars per
ton. But taking the highest estimate,
OF three dollars per ton,. here is lett
large margin for profit, as one ton Of
beets Will yield from one hundred and
forty to one hundred and eighty pounds
of refined sugar; about fifty pounds of
molasses suitable for distillation; five
pounds OF leaves, an excellent
green fodder; and five hundred pounds
OF pulp, worth one third as much as
good hay. But this is not all; the beet
crop cleans and prepares the soil; and,
IN rotation, is one of the best preced-
ers of any grain crop. The yield OF
beets, per acre, varies from seventeen
to forty-two tons. We think that, with
our improved methods, an average
yield OF thirty tons per acre can readily
be secured, but taking the low average
yield of twenty tons per acre, at five
dollars per ton, is one hundred dollars;
leducting the highest estimate OF the
cost of production, three dollars per
ton, leaves forty dollars per acre clear
profit to the farmer. Considering the
of yield of thirty tons per
lcre, costing two dollars per ton, we
nave the possibility ofa profit OF ninety
lollars per acre.

[FoR THE NATIVE YIRGINIAN.l
WAITING FOR ME.

i
Fast by the shores of the Heavenly River
| Thronsing the sands on the beautiful shore,
| Ny loving and lost are singing forever,
| In the sweet tones which were hushed long
| ago:
| Singing "This sad life willshortly be over--'
| "Poor weary soul, thou wilt shortly be free %
| By these sweet streams enraptured discov.
All these, my loved ones, are waiting for me.
Over the river, over the river,
l know that my loved ones are waiting for
Friends that knew in my childhood that
Summer
Hopes that had in my spirits young
bloom
Sisters and brothers and friends without
number,
Vanished and gone to the deolate tomb.
One, my souls brother, with brow like the
morning,
Passed from the world mid the battles loud
A martyrs bright crown his young brow
-adorning.
Beckons to me from the beautiful shore.
Over the river, over the river,
l know that my brother is waiting for me.
Waiting for me! In the sweet Summers
cleaning,
Worn by the cares of the spirit roam;
Angels still whisper and say, "We are com.
ing
To bear thoe away to q happier home"
Sc my sad soul, like bird that is weary,
Folds her tired wing as the night cometh
on
Patient to walt till the night long and
dreary,
Breaks in the light of the Heavenly home.
Over the river, over the river,
know that the angels are waiting for
me!

4 Corn" Panic Ont West. |;

g. - = a, SWu = 6uIC Wv W eSL- ~
There is excitement and downward ten
daeeney" in the grain market at Chicago.
The Monday evening papers Of that city fur.
nniish the following particulars. The Chicago
""Jouprnapl says; .m,urss ...ra4.! ,,... at,.
81, "Graipp comes Q in more rapidly than wanted
for shipment, under our recent peculiarly
arrangements, and there have been but few
here who could command money enough to
buyqto. hold; Our weakness has re. acted on
New York, and sent that market down, mhilc
Liverpool has caught the same infection.
Wall street gambling VAS the primary cause,
but the proximate causc arose in Chicago.
There. was good deal Of short trading to day,
many being anxious 70 sell, and others equal.
ly willing to buy, but with a decided prefer
sepce for the buyers option, which made buy
ser the month worth great deal moro than
seller do"
With reference to the condition of the
banks, under this unfavorablc condition of
things, the, writer says:
/, "1The The strain op tho banks Of this city, pro.
duced by the large amount Of grain which
has accumulated here, has been heavy. The
panic in New York deprived the grain and
-four dealers of New York city and State of
tho facilities for doing business, because they
could not get accommodations to pay sight
bills drawn on them to pay for grain shipped
from here. There has been any quantity of
orders hero to buy grain, to be paid for by
bills drawn at thirty days; and it is scless
for the banks of this city, without an increase
Of capital, to attempt to furnish funds for the
whole of the transactions in grain from the
hands of the producer to the consumer in the
Eastern and foreign markets.
rAt Cincinnati, the Enquirer" says of
wheat:
"Adviccs from other points have been Of
an unfavorable character, and the orders have
generally been Withdrawn, The city millers
are, in most cases, limiting their purchases to
immediate wants, as they have not much con-
hdenco in pricos, and the present rates for
flour afford them no profit The receipts of
wheat have not been large, and the supply
has exceeded the demand; and there being
more disposition " sell concessions were, in
some cases, granted.
>. "Corn v-prices are lower The distilers
have been buying pretty freely at interior
points, and are no. in the market to any cx.
tent at present, and the demand from the 10.
oal dealers is ,not equal to the receipts"
