Thanks to the attention of Her Majesty'S

these ever-agreeable French West Indians,
there was no difficulty whatever in gain

that all that could be done during the

In the islands visited, and also amongst

regarding the results OF the system. And

GRATING THE SUGAR CANE,

In this months Sugar Cane" there /.
a long article on quite a novel subject,
the improvement of the sugar cane by
grating. 1t is well known that grating
has been the means by which European
fruits have been gradually brought to
their present state Of perfection, and the
method has alss been applied, though not
generally, to fruit trees in the West
Indies ; but the grating of the cane has
probably not hitherto been thought of.
The article 10 question is too long for
reprinting; and we will therefore give q
sketch of it.
It appears that the Emperor of Brazil,
while making a short stay 10 New Orleans,
visited several of the neighbouring sugar
plantations, and, among other enquiries,
asked whether any attempts had been
made at grating the cane. On receiving
. reply in the negative, she suggested
that the best way to commemorate the
Imperial visit would be by rendering o
service to science generally and to sugar
planters in particular. in attracting the
attention OF our intelligent (Louisians)

The Universal Company has been form
ed, the Canal has been made, fleets Of
Steamers have been constructed Of q speci-
oil type for passage along this new water.
way, and vessels Of an aggregate tonnage
of over three millions Of tons cross from
sea to sea in the course OF a single year.
Thus all the world is interested in the
maintenance of the Canal as o free pas
sage, and England, as the great carrier of
the world, representing thrse-fourths OF all
this traffic, is moro vitality concern
ed than the rest of the nations. Now
comes the difficulty. The coast Of the
Rad Sea is a weak point in Turkeys ar
mour. None of the ports are suffi 'iently
defended or defensibIe. Il is therefore,
more than possibls that Russia may try to
pass the c nal. Even if Egypt take part
in the war, she has no ironcIads /; nothing
that could Offer real resistance. The
Turkish Fleet may have it's hands TOLL on
other seas. The alternative way OF bar
ring the passage Of Russian vessels would
then be to scuttle one or two ships, and
SO close the Canal to ell comera. Or still
easier, and equally more eflcacious, would
be the removal of all the beacons in the
smaller Bitter Laks. In q single night
they might all be taken up, and their dis.
appearances would stop all navigation, as

measure might be still necessary for the
Turks to take. Nobody here, however.
believes that the other Powers would
sanction or permit such a proceeding.

But the possibility Of such a catastrophe,

community to the important subject of
grating the sugar cane." The attention of
the community was to be drawn to the sub
ject by the translation of a report drawn
up by q learned committee in Brazil. The
substance of this report may be briefly
stated as follows; 1t appears that among
the varieties of cane cultivation in the
Brazilian province of Campos is one called
the Molle (soft) cane, and another called
the Cayenne. The Cayenne cane, it seems,
is large and produces an abundant supply
of juice; but is subject to a sickness
arising from the injury OF certain insects.
For this reason the planters generally had
given it up for the Molle. which is q
smaller cane, but very rich in saccharIne.
The planters, however, having been ac-
customed to the great size and abundant
juice of the Cayenne, were not satisfied
with their new friend. It then occurred
to one of their number that if he could
succeed in grating the Molle on the
Cayenne he could produce a cane which
should have the hardy properties and
saccharine richness of the Molle along
with an increased size and more abundant
Juice derived from the Cayenne. The
anne Of this gentleman ought to be
known throughout the sugar-growing
world, it was Julian Ribeiro de Castro,
and the name of the plantation where the
experiment was tried was Quiemado.
The experiment was made in 1852, and
the system adopted was sp Acegrafing,
the Cayenne being the stock and the
Mole the scion.
The result was the production Of a ns,O
cQrIety ofcane, the name given to which was
the st. Julian" A gentleman who grows
the new variety says, II am convinced
that the St. Julian cane participates of the
soccharins Advantages of the Mole cane,
while in appearance, it demonstrates that
its proportions are not less favoured than
those of the Cayenne cane. In quantity
of juice and begasse, it is equal to Ca
yenne in sugar superior without doubt,
because it participates of the .MolIe cane,
while its juice, like that OF the Cayenne, is
clearer"
Besides the method Of " splice grafting'
the Brazilian planters hava tried the effect
Of " budding" that is the replacing of an
eye in one cane by an eye removed from
another. They have also tried the effect
OF tying together the hal yes OF dl1erent
kinds of canes and planting them thus
united. Neither OF these methods have
given any good results; the first failed
entirely, and the second merely produced
in the leaves Of the white variety purple
bands derived from the purple variety.
These experiments serve however to show
how active the Brazilian planters are in
a field which is quite new, and in which
unknown treasures remain to be unearthed
in the future. While the beet-root has
received the most scientific treatment,
and has been brought to a high state of
perfection, the cane remains much as it
was centuries ago. There is an unexplo-
red mine OF wealth in this fact, which
may yet reward the planters of the West
Indies; and, taken in conjunction with
the growing intellectual activity III these
isles of the West, it seems to US the most
hopeful fact for their future progress and
nronpo|itv.
