INDIANA BOARD OF AGRIcULTUR

INDIANA BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.
The twenty-third annual meeting of
the Indiana Board Of Agriculture COM
menced at indianapolis on Jan. 6. The
o4I--1---- --~- ~ Leg p-~-:lO4IG
Switzerland delivered an address In
which he enlarged upon the resources
of the State. He reviewed the history
of the Board and said it was clear that
fairs and expositions will receive a
more cordial support from the people
than in years gone by. He recon-
mended the total or partial abolition
of premiums heretofore given on fast
horses, substituting other points than
speed; also a more economical method
of conducting the next Exposition, and
that the time of holding it be reduced
from thirty to twenty days. The
secretary's report states that the re-
ceipts amount to S63, 368.S3; and the
total expenses were S+4, 03066; net re-
ceipts Sl9,33717; total cost of EXPOSE
ton building and other improvements,
Sl1O,S47.36. The total value of prop
erty owned by the Board is S275.S47.
The guarantors for the Exposition
fund were assessed ninety per
cent on their subscription of about
100000, most of which has been paid.
Resolutions were passed offering pre-
miums for the best worked dirt or
gravel roads; requiring stockmen to
keep their exhibits on exhibition during
the State Fair proper, one week; that
Intoxicating liquors including malt
liquors be excluded from the Fair
grounds; andfxing the Fair for the last
week in September unless it conflieted
with the Ohio, Kentucky and Illinois
Fairs. We are pleased to see so much
evidence of mingled enterprise and
good sense displayed by the farmers of
Indiana Their good example should
not be UNDECIDED in States farther
South. 1t Will be seen that the Board
of Agriculture received over sixty-three
thousand dollars last year. In place of
having a surplus of $685. over all ex-
penses last year, the Tennessee Agri-
cultural and Mechanic Association is
likely to lose its State Fair ground for
the want Of patronage, or some mis-
take in the management. While Ito
err is human it is equally human to
make an earnest effort toimprove in all
that We do in the future.

THE CANE CULTURE SOUTH.

There are some decided indications
that the culture Of the sugar cane,
which has TO a great extent been aban-
doned on the low lands of Louisiana,
will in the future be largely prosecuted
on the pine lands of Mississippi and
Alabama. The Mobile and Ohio Rail-
road runs for several hundred miles
through fine country, and the compa-
nv, convinced that these lands are well
adapted to the culture of cane, has Of
fered liberal prizes as an inducement
to the farmers to make experimental .
tests. In consequence Of this offer
many experiments and investigations
as to the proftablenesso of cane growing
on pine lands have been made by farm
ers along the line of the road, and it is
stated that the result of such investiga-
lions invariably goes to show that no
other crop could be equally profitable.
In this connection the Mobile Register
gives the result of an experiment made
by a Mr.. Isaac George, living near
Chronicle, Ala, as follows: From
the cane grown on one acre of
land, moderately enriched with the nat
ural fertilizers of the farm, he made
fourteen half barrels, nearly 800 gal
Ions of fine syrup, for which he real
lied IS cents a gallon" The cost of
culture, manufacture, etc, did not
amount to S25, leaving him a clearpro6t
Of 5000. or to put it moderately, say
$50. The Eelv York World thinks
that if one-third of this amount can be
realized from the general culture of
cane on pine lands, which have hither-
to been neglected for alluvial and prai-
RE lands, a revolution Will before long
be wrought in an important branch of
the agriculture Of the South. During
the war. those portions Of the South
which were cut off from connection
with Louisiana, cultivated the sorghum
cane successfully on arid, sandy soil,
and though the sorghum cane Is infe-
rior in many respects to the regular
sugar cane of the lowlands, 1t never
theless yielded an excellent syrup.
With greater care and attention a bet
ter quality of cane ought to be pro-
duced, and the results obtained by the
Citronelle experimenter, as well as by
others, seem to have demonstrated that
this has been very successfully DONE
Savannah Advertiser.
In Southern Georgia, IN Florida,
Southern Alabama, Mississippi, Louisi-
ana and Texas, there are not less than
fifty million acres of pine lands, per-
feetly healthy, and in a climate well
adapted to the growth of sugar cane
These lands can be improved so as to
yield hogshcad of sugar, on an aver.

turn cut fifty million hogsheads yes 7
But such uniYersalimproyement Of nat
urally thin pinesands is for the distant
future, when farmers, planters, and the
public generally, regard agriculture as
much a science as algebra or as
tronomy. When we burn an ounce OF
pure sugar no ashes is left, showing
that this substance Is convertible int
air and vapor. No good farmer should

He followed me to Mrs. Ovington's to
breakfast, saying that was unduly ex-
cited, and that he had been misrepre-
sentcd, perhaps, but leaving me as de-
termined as before. How to account for
the change which twenty-four hours have
been capable of working in his mind
then fixed for many years past, I leave
for the eternities, with their mysteries,
to reveal. That he is an unreliable and
unsafe guide, whose idea of truth-loving
is self-loving, it is my misfortune, in this
late, sad hour, to discover.
