ABOVT SVGAR AND SUGAR
rlNE.y

The sugar crop Of the Sandwich Is.
lands is very promising. The largest
yield known 10 sugar planters Is pro-
duccd there. Tho cano grown l. what
is here called Otaheite, or white cane,
which grows vory luxuriantly In this
State, but IL tender and docs not rat.
toon well,
As illustrating what this species of
sugar cano will do under the most
favorable auspices, we learn from a re-
liable source that on the island of Maui,
two hundred acres of cane has pro
duced 800 tons Of sugar, and on Hawaii
the yield is even greater.
Last season from about two hundred
and ten acres Of canes, nine hundred
tons of good sugar was made on plan
tation on the last named island. The
best sugar lands in Cuba sometimes
give seven thousand pounds to the
acre; but this only on very good new
land, and from the species of cane
known there as cana blanca Whether
il is the same as that referred to above,
which grows on the Sandwich Isla nds,
or not, we cannot tell
Much was expected from the canes
brought TO this State by Mr.. Lapice,
from Java, but, thus far, they havo
not proved Of much value. They are
very slender and long-pointed, resem.
bling sorghum so closely that planters
have declared them TO be sorghum, at
first sight.
We have heard nothing as to the
value of the Cuban canes imported and
planted last fall by p. S. Wilt, Esq,
on his plantation in the parish Of ST.
Charles. Much is expected from the
Diffusion Process Company, which be.
gins its operations today on the Louisa
plantation in st. Charles. If il ac-
complishes what its friends confidently
expect, and sugar planters generally
hope, the sugar culture will be dcvel-
oped in this State upon larger and
more profitable basis than ever before.
Sugar lands are very cheap at pres
eat in Louisiana. Excellent places
can be bought ut cost Of twenty-five
dollars per acre, including buildings
seed cane enough to begin with, and
in some instances, mules, etc, enough
to work the plantation. The largest
yield of sugar last season was from the
Hermitage the property Of l.. A.
Br;ngicr, Esq, in the parish Of Asccn.
sion. From one field, Mr.. Bringer
made an average of 4,0ll pounds of
white sugar, and PA gallons of molas-
ses 10 the acre. No fertilizers were
used, the yield being due entirely to
the thorough culture of the crop

now TO CAN CORN


First boil il fifteen minutes on the
ear. This hardcns the outside of the
grains, so that they may be readily
shelled. The grains are to be dried
for an hour in the oven, at u moderate
heat, or allowed to remain one day
spread out in the sunshine. The next
step is to salt it just so much as will
season il for the table; fill cans with
it, leaving half an inch of space put a
gill or so OF water in each can, seal up,
leaving only an aperture the size Of a
large pin for the escape of the gas
Place the cans in fiat bottomed kct-
tie, having enough of water in 1t to
reach within half an inch of the top
ofthc cans; then boil moderately three
quarters of an hour, and with a drop
of solder seal up the vent in each can
as IL is taken from the kettle. Corn
prepared and canned In this manner,
and set away in cool place, will keep
perfectly sweet and good. To pre-
serve corn on the cob-gather the ears
when the grain is fully developed, be-
fore they begin to glaze. First soak
them nm hour in salt pickle, made strong
enough to float an egg. Then rinse
off in clean, cold water, and lay the
cars, in warm, clear water, on boards
or windows, or over steady heat
from q stove, drying gradually for ten
days, until the grains are shrivellcd like
sugar corn, and all the moisture is dried
out of the cob Then all that is re-
quired is to pack in wooden boxes,and
place where there is no dampness, and
but slight atmospheric change
When wanted for use soak ten ortwclvc
hours in tcpid water, when the grains
will be found fairly filed out, and you
may have green boiled corn on the
cob almost equal to that but an hour
from the field.

EGGS As DIET.


On this subject the Poultry Reuie,c
has the following pertinent and sugges-
tive remarks: Would il not be wise
to substitute more eggs for meat in our
daily diet? About one.third of the
weight of an egg is solid nutriment.-
This is more than can be said Of meat
There are no bones or tough pieces
that have to be laid aside. A good egg
is made up of 10 parts shell, so parts
white, and 40 parts yolk The white
of an egg contains SO per cent. water,
the yolk of an egg so per cent. The
average of an egg is about two ounces
Practically an egg is animal food, and
and yet there is none of the disagrcea-
BILE work of the butcher necessary to
obtain IT, The vegctarians Of England
use eggs freely, and many OF these
men are eighty and ninety years old,
and have been remarkably free from
illness. Eggs are best when cooked
four minutes. This takes away the
animal taste that is offensive to some
but does not so harden the white or
yolk MS TO make them bard to digest.
An egg, if cooked very hard, is difficult
of digestion, except by those with
stout stomacbs; such eggs should bo
eaten with bread and masticated very
finely. An egg spread on toast is food
fit for king, if kings deserve any bet
ter food than anybody else, which is
doubtful. Fried eggs arc less whole
some than boiled ones. An egg drop
ped into hot water is not only clean
and handsome, but delicious morscl.
Most people spoil the taste of their
eggs by adding pepper and salt. A
little sweet butter is the best dressing.
Eggs contain much phosphorus, which
is supposed to be useful to those who
use their brains much.

II is fortunate for our country at

much confusion in political action, that
there are some truths which stand out

through all our difficulties and dangers,
We do not need any tricks of states

truths which all men can see aud un.
