CANE BY THE TON.

Mr.. John Dymond, of st,
Bernard, is the pioneer in the
successful separation of cane cnl"
ture from sugar manufacture. For
two years past, he has been pur"
chasing sugar cane, paying so
much per ton, and he finds that it
is profitable both to himself as
manufacturer and the small plant.
ers as agriculturists.
The Robert Diffusion Company,
also, last season adopted the same
plan, purchasing cane at various
points, which was shipped them
by two lines of railroad and the
Mississippi river to their central
factory, situated about twenty
miles above New Orleans, in the
parish of st. Charles, and very
conveniently located between the
two railroads.

tations, have this year made an
experimental beginning of the
same system. They have had
some new houses for their tenants
erected, and located them so that
the stock OF the latter will not
give any annoyance, and for all
cane delivered at their new sugar
house and refinery they propose
to pay four dollars per ton. If
this is not found to be an equita~
bic arrangement, it can easily be
made so, after experiment.
Inasmuch as there is an increas.
ing demand for sugars of better
qualities, while those of lower
grades sell at such low prices that

as now, there will be fully that

where cane will be raised to sup.

those who have the capital can in
a great measure both plant and
grind heir own cane, but the
bulk OF the crop we predict will
be made from cane raised by the

this method, can the crop of
Louisiana be made to surpass
that Of ante beIlNw times.

"But this Blaine is James G. Blaine they pro-

planting rrses i'm the Fan.

The question as to whether Spring or Fall is
the better season for planting has been much
discussed, and the conclusion reached has gener-
ally been that in Western New York and SINH
lar climates, one is about as good as the other
My experience with hardy fruit and deciduous
ornamental trees is in favor of fall. 1t is true
that We have an occasional severe winter, when
fallplanted trees suffer, but these of rare &C.
currence.
Last fall, quite late, after the hurry of the sea-
son was all over, l planted several hundred
dwarf pear trees. After planting, the earth was
drawn up around the base, say six OF more inch
es above the level of the ground to give protec-
ton to the roots and stiffen the tree against the
force of the wind. May %, l had the earth
around the trees removed to the ground level,
and hnd vigorous new roots, three TO five inches
in length, spreading in all directions from the
ounce stock. The tops are also pushing rapid
ly, and in the whole planting of 300 trees there
is not failure.
1t is easy to see what an advantage these
trees have over those planted this spring, even
under the most favorable circumstances-for the
latter. In spring planting it often happens that
long period of cold weather and drying winds
follows the planting, and the trees get seriously
dried before the growing season opens, or a dry
and warm period comes before the roots have
acquired vigOr enough to sustain the tree under
such adverse influence they either die or linger
along feebly all summer.
We must take some risk in planting at any
season, but, on the whole, 1 think the chances
are in favor of the fall for hardy deciduous trees

Curing HAY I'm the Cock.

As have never seen a method like mine for
cutting and curing hay mentioned in your most
valuable journal, l thought would write it ont
hoping thereby to help some beginners in the
business.
As it is an established and admitted fact that
We must cut hay early, how shall we best pre-
serve it in its purity is the question. Now,
those who are lucky enough to have the where
with" to purchase hay-caps, tedders, &c, will
tell us that single day will cure it quite enough
to have it keep well. But what shall others do
who do not have these helpsi
For more than fifteen years have endeayored
to begin to cut the clover as soon as it was in
full bloom, but more recently have come to the
conclusion that if the weather promises well, it
is not best to wait for few blossoms to come
out. Cut il when the dew is all off, letting it
lie one night; open next day, aud improve all
the sunshine. Now, if fairly wilted, make the
cocks larger, and let them stand one or two DAYS,
and if they are not dry enough SO as not to sour
in the NOW, you must open it again; but if 9TH
erwise, let them stand, only do this, commence
and cock them over, letting them cure in the
cock rather than by the sun.
Persons using this kind of feed for their cat
tie, will make as much butter in December as in
June, provided the cows are in fresh milking
condition. Clear timothy managed in this way,
is worth fifty per cent. more than that which
has been cut and put into the barn, and allowed
TO become hot and burnt in the NOW.
have often seen hay that had an ash-colored
appearance, and very dusty, that was not much

TOMATO CATsUP.-To one peck of ripe toma-
toes, put one teacupful of salt. Cut the toma-
toes in small pieces over night. Lay them down
in an earthen vessel or china bowl. Sprinkle
the salt well through them. In the morning put
them into preserving kettle, and boil them
two hours Take it off, and strain them through
a fine sieve or net then return the juice to the
kettle, and boil it half away. Flavor to your
taste with powdered cayenne pepper, allspice.
and cloves. Do not add the spices until about
half an hour before it is done. When COOL bot
tie it, corking with new corks. Scald the corks
before inserting them. After you have filed the
bottles, pour into the top of each one teaspoon

using the catsup.

Cut Cucumber Pickles.

Prepare a strong brine, in which you can keep
your pickles as long yon choose. After taking
them out of the brine, wipe carefully, and let
them soak few days in weak vinegar, in order
to extract the salt and water. Then slice the
cucumbers half inch thick; put them in
jar, with layers of seasoning between each one
an ounce of cloves, one ounce of mace, one ounce
of pepper, one ounce of celery seed and a little
chopped onion, with plenty of brown sugar.
Tie up the jar very securely, and set it in an
iron vessel of cold water. Boil until you can
run straw through the pieces of cucumber.
Cover with strong vinegar. These proportions
suppose jar holding three gallons of vinegar to
be the size used. Another way to pack the Gu
eumbers is to count them, allowing to seventy
five cucumbers two ounces each of cloves, mace,
nutmeg, pepper, and allspIce.
