RAISING MULEs.-The Sac
ramento Bee notices an in
stance Of one hundred and
fifty young mules, raised i'll
Sacramento and Contra Costa
counties, Which have been
shipped east for a market. The
Bee says the average cost of
these mules, which are between
two and four years of age, was
forty dollars, and the cost of
transportation by rail will be-
fifteen dollars more. Many of
them are very fine animals,
and will readily bring from one
hundred to three hundred dol
lyrs each, in currency, when
they are O year or two older.
With anything like ordinary
good "luck," at these figures, a
man can scarcely find a busi-
ness which will pay better on
he same investment. If this
first venture, which is made as
an experiment, shall succeed.
there will be doubtless quite a
business done in raising and
shipping mules to the Eastern
States. At all events there
will not be much risk of loss in
the undertaking.-[San Fran

Sweet Potatoe Syrup.

Since our article of last week,
on the manufacture of syrup
from sweet potatoes, we have
been kindly presented by Mr..
A. Meynier, son of Capt. Mey-
nier, of st. Martinsville, with a
bottle of syrup manufactured
by Chas. Delamere, by his pro-
cess, and found it not only pal
atable and unusually sweet,
but likewise possessing the col
or and consistency of the best
golden syrup. We also had
the pleasure, by invitation, of
calling upon Mr.. Delamere,
Witnessing the mode of evapo-
ration, of which we probably
will have something to say in
the future.
To show that the manufac-
ture of syrup, and no doubt
sugar, from sweet potatoes is
regarded as a practical result
Of Mr.. Delamere's experiments,
We need only mention that he
has refused an offer of 100000
for the right Of his process in
this State alone; and instead Of
G. Ii. Monton & Co. being in
tcrested in the matter, as be-
fore mentioned, it should have
been DR.. Thurber and Mr.. r. r.
Benson, of city railroad noto-
riety, both of whom are equal
partners with Mr.. Delamere.-
They are now engaged in
erecting machinery suitable for
the purpose Of fully demon
strating the profit of the new
system, and no doubt the sale
of the right for the various
States will soon follow the COM
pletion of their works.
We believe we ommitted to
mention, last week, that the re-
fuse of the potatoe, after the
sugar had been extracted, could
be used for the purpose of max
ing vinegar, after which there
is still left a very wholesome
food for hogs or cattle. We
learn that lime is used for puri-
flying the juice, pretty much
the same as with the cane juice,
and that the other ingredients
used are not expensive.
Mr.. Delamere made his dis.
covery from experiments ii
making whisky from sweet po
tatoes. From one bushel o1
potatoes, weighing 81 pounds
he has made as much as three
and one-fourth gallons of good
whisky. and had not the Gov
ernment imposed such heavy
taxes on that article, he would
have made a fortune at it,

Hogs.

In speaking of these animals
we do not include those in hui
man shape, who after they
have gone the way of all hog
flesh, cannot be utilized, and
who leave no example worthy
of imitation. We would al
lude particularly to that por-
ton of the species, which,
when dead and skillfully ma
nipulated, is known by the
names of pork and bacon, and
for which we of the South pay
S3,000,0 900 annually, not among
ourselves, but to another sec
ton, which reaps the benefits
of this increased circulation.
That this drain on our finances
could be avoided there is no
doubt. The entire pres s Of the
South for the past three or four
years has been endeavoring to
incalculate the necessity of
abandoning the suicidal policy,
and urging planters to give
more attention to supplying
themselves at home with this
article of prime necessity
Every planter can with little
trouble raise enough to snbSist
his family and laborers, the
season for packing comes at a
time when his crops are laid by,
and probably in market. A
few years persistent experience
will so systematic his labor in
this direction that it will be a
new source of outside profit,
which will not conflict with
even his present crop system.
There is scarcely any part OF
the hog excepting "the teeth
and toe nails" but what can
be made available in some way.
All that is necessary to make
''hog culture" profitable is to
give it a general and directive
force among us, and in a few
years, the results will surprise
us; it will render us indepen-
dent of one Northern market
stop one outlet of expense, and
add another convenience to the
wants of our people; it will moi
only save the actual cost O
meat from going to enrich the
West, but in the single item o
freight alone the advantage
will be immense. Let us raise
corn and hogs, and be comfort
able, and grow fat.-[Maco'

Colorado-Its Soils and Pro-
ducts.

From an address delivered
before the Agricultural society
of Colorado, during the late
Fair, by Gov. McCook, we give
a few facts, compiled with great
care by that gentleman:
"In 1869 Mr.. Magnes, whose
farm is on the South Platte,
seven miles above Denver,
raised ninety bushels of wheat
on one acre of land, fifty-five
and one-half bushels on anoth-
er acre, and five hundred and
fifty bushels of wheat on ten
acres of another farm. Thos.
@. Anderson raised ninety
bushels Of oats on anOthar acre,
and VIM. Huning, on the Pur-
gatorie, twelve miles below
Trinidad, raised six hundred
and forty bushels of oats on
eight acres. Near the same
place Mr.. Rankin raised two
hundred and fifty bushels Of
onions on half all acre.
Here, to-day, within these
grounds | have seen on eXhibi-
tion 93 measured bushels of
wheat, which were raised on
one acre oats, 232 bushels Of
English Excelsior" on four
acres ard 166 bushels of"BIack
Swedish" potatoes, l 900 bush
els on three acres, or $685.
bushels to the acre-54 of these
potatoes made a measured
bushel and weighed 595 lbs ;
onions planted in a hot bed
and raised outdoors after
wards, yielding 1000 bushels
to the acre sugar beets forty
bushels to the measured acre !;
from one pound of seed barley
ITO pounds were produced,
and in fact, everythinginvested
in this wonderfully prolific
country, cereal, vegetable, ami
NAL, mineral or human, appears
to yield an annual increase of
about 100 per cent. I could
give a hundred other instances
of remarkable yields Of cereals
and vegetables, but the exhibi
ton at this Fair shows for it.
self, and my object is simply to
inform the people of less pro-
ductive parts of the Union the
average yield of different crops
in this territory. BY carefully
comparing the total number OF
acres cultivated, with the guam
tity produced, [ find the follow
ing to be the average yield
throughout the territory /:
Wheat, 38 bushel per acre
oats, So bushels per acre; corn
so bushels per acre; potatoes
$50 to 200 bushels per acre
onions, 250 bushels per acre
beans, 80 bushels per acre.
This shows that those pro
ducts which are adapted to oul
climate, products which arr
raised entirely by irrigation
will give greater returns to The
husbandman than his industry
will secure him in any otheI
part of the world"

calculated to cause those who have not yet
satisfied themselves of the Importance Of the
great movement Of Reform, to think earnestly
and seriously Of the great peril in which they
place their property by permitting . possible
chance Of election to remain to the Scott Ring.
He was followed by Mr.. Mitchell, who was In
turn succeeded by Mr.. Harper, who, from his
budget of personal experience, presented more
than one sketch Of the Ring leaders, which
showed the colored men present that the whole
Ring was mass of corruption, dealement and
falsehood; he knew 1t, had himself labored
with all his energy to place some of them ir
their present positions, and knew how almost
destitute they, were, and then how rich
fhey had now become, filing theil
pockets, as they had done, from the
hard earnings Of the eolored worklngmen,
stealing from them By direct and indirect
overwhelming taxation a taxation which
could not be proved to be necessary for any
honest purpose. Mt. Harper's speech was 6
long and interesting one, and his argument:
against the dishonesty and depravity Of oul
present State Government were unanswerable

argument in which he claimed that they were
not implicated in the murder.
Mr.. Isaac Hayne, Jr., who represented the
