ANENT the article from the Chicago
Tribune about Southern sugar, printed
elsewhere, the Netv Orleans Picayaae
expresses the opinion that it is all folly
to spend money in importing fresh
sugar cane from Java. 1t pronOunces
the experiment a failure, and that the
apparent degeneracy of the cane In
Louisiana is due more to imperfect
culture than to defective seed. Wher-
ever the land is cultivated as it was

RIPLEY, o. Feb. 10-The work is about

good success. They do not, however, feel
much confidence in the promises made
them, and will continue their work until
they see fruits meet for repentance. Since
the traffic has been subdued in town, it is
feared the very dry may seek these more
distant resorts, and a regular train of con-

be attended TO in the same spirit as the

The ladies have found some cases of sad

have been generously attended to. Aphys-

How 20 onion nIoIes.

We presume there are few of our ag-
ricultural readers who at some period
have not heartily mathematical the
moles. Although these little animals
do considerable amount of good III
killing insects and worms which would
destroy grain, they more than counter
balance the benefits they confer upon
the farmer by the injury they infict
upon the work Of the gardener. They
appear to have taste for the choicest
bulbs, and for the roots of the rarest
flowers, while their tracks very speed
lily rum the appearance OF smooth and
neatly kept lawns.
The Patent Office records show that
plenty of inventive genius has been
expended in attempts TO devise an
efficient mole trap. OF these inventions
we have tried quite a number in our
efforts to rid our garden of the nui-
sance, but we have found none so salts
factory as the very simple plan repre-.
sented in our engraving As soon as a
fresh mole run is found, indicated, of
course, by ridge ON the surface of the
ground, hole should be dug and a
large sized ordinary flower pot set
therein. Over the top of this recep.
tacle piece of board is placed, leay-
ing a space OF about three inches
between it ard the edge of the
pot, so that dirt from above
will not fall into the latter. The
openings of the run lead, as repre-
scented, into this space The easth is
replaced, and the surface of the
ground restored. The mole, in fol
lowing mis- usual road blindly, comes
to the oritice leading to the pot, into
which he incontinently tumbles. As
he is unable to crawl up the sides or
burrow through the hard ealthenware,
he decides to remain and wait for as.
sistance, which generally comes in the
shape of a gardener and rat terrier.
The transactions Of the mole with the
last mentioned OF this pair are such as
to destroy his taste for bulbs or for
future mining investigations. Scion

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
New Agricultural Machine.

The English Mechanic says Messrs.
DcDonne aud Leuchan, of Dublin,
have invented a machine which per-
forms the operations of rolling, sow
ing, and narrowing simultaneously.
The roller is of wrought iron, riveted
on cast-iron wheels, forming a cylinder
six feet in length by three feet IN dia-
meter. Immediately above the roller
is a sowing apparatus, by which the
seed is rapidly delivered, a star wheel
of four points keeping the conductors
In CONSTANT motion. As the seed is
strewn, a harrow of four rows of oblique
teeth, set in a central axis, turns up the
earth over the seed. The harrow is
kept in motion by an endless chain or
belt which passes round the extreme
end Of the large cylinder, and fits the
groove of a small wheel at the cor
responding end of the harrow. Every
time the large roller turns
over, the circular harrow turns
nearly five times, causing the
teeth to tear up the soil about twenty
times at this OF the revolutions. Mean
time the seed conductor and distribu-
tor rises and falls about twelve times
during each OF these revolutions. and
there is continuance by which the
quantity required to be sown can be
regulated. A lever is also connected
with the support of the harrow, and
rests upon tulcrum placed at suit
able part Of the frame of the machine.
BY means of this lever the harrow por-
ton of the machine can be raised off
the ground and the roller only used
and the distributor or sower may be
worked simultaneously by means of
the chain-band, which car be closed
and the flow of seed stopped. The
machine can be easily made TO suit
either the purposes of sowing corn or
grass for pasturage.
