CANE CULTIVATION IN JAVA.
BY r. H.. CoPPEL.
From the Sugar Cane.)

The first operation for the preparation
Of the gardens is to burn off the straw Of
the preceding crop of rice (canes being al
most invariably planted in rice felds),
which is collected in heaps, and the ashes
worked into the ground. A trench two
and a half feet broad, and about two feet
deep, is dug all round the garden, in COM
munlcatiOn with some Water-courSe, to act
as a drain. The earth dug out is spread
over the field to raise the surface in the
middle. The trenches are then dug, for
planting IN, two feet wide and one foot
deep, the ground being heaped between
each trench, the width between being three
feet, at intervals Of from two to three
hundred feet, according to nature Of the
ground one Of these trenches is made
deeper, and cross trenches are also made
for the drainage of the field. A few days
before planting, the earth at the bottom
OF the trenches is loosened for about six
inches deep with a hoe. The garden is
now ready for the reception Of the slips Of
cane, which, after having been cleaned Of
leaves and cut into lengths of six inches,
are soaked in water for twenty-four hours.
Before being planted in, the trenches are
filled with water to soften the earth, the
water is run off, and the slips are laid al
ternately in two parallel rows On each
trench, Just covered with earth, each row
SIX inches from one side OF the trench, and
eighteen inches from the other, aud each
slip twelve inches from the next in the
length of the trench. For the first three or
four days after planting, they are we'll wa
tered, morning and evening. In about ten
days, when the young shoot is six or eight
inches out of the ground, the sides of the
trench are slightly worked down, and the
ground between and at the sides of the.
slips we'll loosened with the hoe. If any
of the plants have died, they are now re-
placed. a nursery of shooting slips being
kept ready. Ia another ten days the
second working takes place, similar to the

THE WEST INDIAN IN LONDON.

It is satisfactory to observe that the St.
Thomas Dock is now in active operation, and
that the perseverance and enterprise display
ed in connection with this undertaking are
likely to meet with an adequate reward. The
Dock occupies an excellent central station for
West Indian business, and now that its oapa,
bilities have been tested there is 70 doubt that
the advantages which it offers will render it an
eminentIy useful and popular institution.
The question OF railway extention in Jamai-
ca has now assumed a practical form, which
leaves 70 doubt of the undertaking being
successfully accomplished. The matter is not
sufficiently ripe for details to be given, but
looking at the great need which exists in
jamaica for railway accommodation, and the
immense benefits that would be conferred
thereby upon the island, it is naturally to be ex-
peOted that the Government of Jamaica will
give to any proposals that may be submitted to
it the warmest encouragement and support.
A long letter, signed "a Passenger" ap-
pears in the London newspaper the Hour of
December 20, complaining of the want of pro-
per accommodation on board of the Royal
Mail steamers to the West Indies. No opinion
need be expressed in this column upon the
complaints thus put forward, but they are Of
such a nature that it is only due to the COM
pany to call the attention of the directors to
them. A satisfactory explanation will no doubt
be forthcoming. The directors, however, are
bound to consider the complaints that are con-
tinually coming from Demerara Of the short
time allowed in that colony for replying to
letters by the return mail. The Royal Mail
Company has always been supported in this
column its successful enterprise has not been
without due recognition, and it is therefore
much to be regretted that a shortsighted
pslicy-which will of course be merely tenn
porary-should interfere in any degree with
that public satisfaction which the proceedings
of the company have hitherto inspired.
Reference has been made more than once in
this column to the last financial message of
Governor Irving in Trinidad, but one point
has not hitherto been discussed. Besides the
general rates and taxes there 10 a heavy local
taxation which. under present circumstances,
seems to demand immediate reduction. Hither-
to the published accounts of the general
revenue and expenditure have not included the
amounts collected by the Ward Unions. But
in future. thanks to an improvement introduced
by Governor Irving, the Ward taxation, 80
far as it relates to roads and other public works,
10 to be represented in the general accounts.
This Il good 80 far as it goes, but the taxation
itself should be reduced. It amounts to some.

To the Editor of the "St. CrOix Avis"
Dear Sir,
The following is intended to redress an
evil which has grown up here of late, to
redress it If possible by giving to the Sub
jet the chance of public discussion
The questions are
May the owner Of ap estate occasionally
make it q point to be present when the
hands employed on his estate are being
paid IFS there anything improper in
this, and if he finds the party handling the
change on ~paydays exceedingly fdgety,

have been some extensive importations of
iron, too, of late years from America, and
from many of the continental countries.
The cause is probably the came. 1t lie not
likely that fraud and roguery, once they
become accepted principles of English
trade, should confine their operation to
particular branch of production. England
has still her cheap coal. The article, how
ever, is not 80 very cheap of late years,
and at the present rate OF consumption is
certain to become dear before long. Mean
while the coal fields of America are mex
haustible, and vast quantity of the mine-
raj lies near the surface. Economic falla-
cies, too, cannot hold out for ever among
so intelligent a race as the Americans, and
when. they are exploded, the British su-
premacy will have touched its goal. Thea
will set in an immense emigration of IN
employed artisans to the United States and
elsewhere, to be accompanied OF followed
by still vaster outflow of the more re-
movable article-capital. The Irish SEQ
retaries of that day and the English leaders
of parties, in and out of oface, will adopt
a less cock-a-wh hoop style of oratory
when an irish claim is pressed on their con-
sideration.
