are not SO ripe at the same age as in Java.
The black sorts (called Chigacca and Meera
here) are we'll known to ne, and I was
glad to hear them ranknd as amongst the
best at st. Helena by Mr.. M'Donald,, the
superintendent, who has got as much as
three tons of yellow sugar per acre from
the Chigacca variety, a very high return
tor any country I am acquainted with. AS
have seen some discussion in your journal
about the use of sulphur and other 6hemi-
Gals in sngar-making, l may sta" that in
Java the Government (who keep control
OF all such matters), allow nothing but
lime to be used for clarifying, and when
properly applied lime is found ~suficint for
all purposes, as the sugars,of Java bear full
evidence. I am told that cane rust is
making great havoc in this country. It
seems to me to be owing to dageneracy in
the cane caused by the system of planting
and cultivation followed. Similar diseases
have developed themselves in all cane
countries, in Java as we'll as elsewhere, but
they are not felt there now, because means
are taken to prevent them, aud the cane is
planted IN new ground each year" EurQ-

There are many circumstances, which
combine to render the forest and the soil
OF the forest a far better reservoir Of water
than the open field at the time when the
scorching sun of summer has parched up
the grass on the field, when The naked
ground and the roads are so heated that it
is painful to touch them, the soil in the
forest is still fresh ard cool, the leafy roof
keeping off the rays Of the sun like a para
sol. The answer therefore given to Mar
shall Valiant, who in his enthusiasm for
unrestricted use of forest land had compar-
ed a forest to an umbrella, which pre-
vented the rain from reaching the ground,
was a witty one. An opponent reminded
the Marshal, that nothing resembled an
umbrella so much as a p~arasol, and that,
considered as umbrella forest was a very
poor and leaky one, but made an excellent
and close parasol. Even the degree of
warmth which the Thermometer shews
outside a forest on a warm summer dav, is
never as high inside the forest. AS a conse-
quence hereof there is a'ways formed in
the open field a hard and close crust of
earth, which it requires some time for the
rain, when it arrives, to penetrate, and
therefore much rain tlickles over it to the
neighbouring hoIIows, to ~rivulets and
bitches whereas the soil in the forest is
kept loose and in a state to receive the
rain at once, the more so because, as
already mentioned, the rain falls there
more little by little, so that o,uIy drop Is
sucked in anG sinks into the soil. This
microscopic or water imbibing capacity of
the forest is furthermore increased consi-
derabIy by the moss and the underlying
carpet of withered leaves, which are in a
particular degree qualified not only to
receive the water, but also to retain it and
to allow it to separate but slowly from it.
Long after the open country therefore has
recovered its earlier state OF aridity, and
after the bitches alongside the fields have
become empty and dry, the soil Of the
forest is still moist and the bitches hold
still water but while The rain falls and
directly after, the very reverse is the case,
the bitches in the forest have but little
water, while those of the fields are full and
overlooking. 1t is simply a repetition of
what we have seen to take place in the
case of the Lima and the Sestaione, Of the
Saint Phalez and the Combe d'Yeuse, only
less striking to the eye.

"THRASHINGo THE SUGAR CANE.


The propriety or otherwise of Z" thrashing,"
or stripping the leaves from cane. has at
tracted a great deal of attention this season.
One of the latest writers on the subject is
Mr., F. de KOcI, a gentleman of experience
from Java, and now on a business tour in
Queensland. He says -" The letter of Mr..
Warren, in last issue of The QueeasIander,
induces me to offer the following, bearing
upon cane-trashing and the production of
sugar in Java, in comparison with what lit
tie I have seen of the industry in Queens
land. 1t may be we'll to state at once that
I have only seen the cane-ields of the Lo-
gan and Albert while travelling along in a
conveyance, and, on Tuesday last, the Gov
eminent plantation at st. Helena. About
trashing, or stripping off the dead leaves
from the cane, it is the common practise in
Java. There the cane is fully ripe 10 ten
or twelve months, and one month before
it is cut the trashers strip off all the dead
IeaUes-no living leaf is taken of, other
wise the cane would be injured. The trash
ing is found necessary to allow the cane to
become thoroughly ripe for the mill by the
free admission of air and so important is
it considered, that | have paid double rates
to have it done when labour was scarce.
In Mauritius a similar system is followed.
I was much pleased with the Queensland
Government plantation at St. Helena.
According to my experience, both the
planting and sugar-making are we'll con-
Quoted, and, with the appliances in use,
fair results are obtained. The situation I
do not consider the best for cane-growing.
1t is too much exposed to high winds,
which blow down the crop but to help
the canes I would bank them up, as fol-
lowed in Java. The canes I saw at st.
Helena compare we'll with Java canes, but

LARGE PROFESSIONAL FEES.

It's not often that a professional man has
the opportunity, or perhaps feels equal to
the effort, of returning two fees of 1000
guineas each in the course of the same wear.
1t is understood, however, that this has oc-
Cured with Sir Henry Thompson this year.
The first occasion was in connection with
the illness of the Emperor Napoleon III,
when Sir Henry, in the most delicate and
kindly manner, returned half of his fee of
1000 gujneas !; and the second is an in
stance yet more highly honorable to profess
slonal delicacy. Called to the bedside of
a wealthy friend in the Highlands, near
whose shooting lodge he was passing his
