THE sun FOR 1881

Everybody reads THE SUN. In the edi>
tions OF this newspaper throughout the wear
to come everybody will find:
l. All the worlds news, so presented that
the reader will get the greatest amount of in
formation with the least improbable expen.
diture OF time and eyesight. THE Sun long
ago discoVesed the golden mean between re-
dundant fulness and unsatisfactory brevity.
III, Much OF that sort of news which de-
pends less upon its recognized importance
than upon its interest to mankind. From
morning to morning THE SUN prints con-
tinued story of the lives Of real men and wo-
men, and Of their deeds, plans, loves, hates,
and troubles. This story is more varied and
more interesting than any romance that was
ever devised.
Ill. Good writing in every column, and
freshness, originality, accuracy, and decorum
In the treatment of every subject.
~. Honest comment. THE Suns habit is
to speak out fearlessly about men and things.
V. Equal oandor in dealing with each po-
ht'cal party, and equal readiness to commend
what is praiseworthy or to rebuke what is
biamaoie In Democrat or Republican.
vi. Absolute Independence of partisan or.
CARNATIONS, but unWaverine LOYALTY To trne
democratic principles. The Sun believes that
the Government which the Constitution gives
ms is good one TO keep. Its notion of duty
is to- resist to its utmost power the efforts of
men iii the Republican party to set up anoth-
er form OF government in place of that which
exists. TIE year 1881 and the years imme
diately following will probably decide this
supremely important contest. The Sun be-
lieves that the victory will be with the peo.
pie as against the Rings for monopoly, the
Rings for plumber, and the Rings for impe>
rial power.

Early Amber Sugar-Cane.

This rather new variety OF sorghum
is quite promising for the production OF
sugar, 1t has only been tried year
or two, and in a limited way; but tllls
season it has been planted quite eX-
tensively, not only in Minnesota ana
Wisconsin, to whose short summers 1t
seems so we'll suited, but in also in
many other States. Here it is grow
ing for the second season. Last year
il was tried for syrup only; and the
opinion of good judges was that it
made the best sorghum syrup ever
tasted. The younger members OF the
family, however-generallv the larg-
EST consumers of sweets did not alto
gether agree with this, preferrlng the
syrup from the old kind.
The old kind of sorghum is superior
i'm one way at least. On ordinary good
upland soil it will turn out nearly or
quite twice as much as the Early
| Amber, the stalks of the former much
exceeding the latter in siZe-the addl-
/ tional time required for maturity
being put to a good use in the way ol
growth.
The Early Amber, from present APP
Dearances, would do well south OF 4O
planted as late as June lst or 10th
planted by the middle Of May, with
fair cultivation, it began to shool
August lst, and by August llth II
was about all out in head.
1t is important to work it up just
at the right time generally as th'
seed is going out of the milky state
and before il acquires any degree o
ripeness. If let until the seed ripens
the stalks lose a considerable portion
of their sweetness. Last season few
rows stripped and left standing iol
eight or ten days as used to be recon
mended for the old kind land which
worked well with that were found
to be entirely worthless, the stalk
containing no more saecharine matte
than stalks of brOOm-cOrn.
There is scarcely any doubt but !
/ will make sugar il properly managed
and will be an acquisition Of the great
est value to the Northern and middl
J States.

RECIPES.

FRIED OYSTERS. - Have ready a
skillet and boiling lard dip your oys-.
ters, one at time, in beaten yolk, OF
egg, then in grated bread crumbs !;
lastly in sifted meal, and then drop
into the lard. Turn, and allow them
to become only slightly Drowned
Drain upon sieve and send to table
hot.
TO drive ants away, take carbollc
acid diluted with water, say one part
acid to ten parts water, and with a
syringe throw this liquid into all
cracks and holes where they nest, and
they will soon vanish. CockroacheS
are also driven away by it.
For wagon and carriage aXles the
best lubricant during hot weather Is
tallow and black lead rubbed together.
Castor oil and black lead are best for
winter use.
To make German putfs, take two
ounces of flour, two eggs, hall Pmt Oh
new milk, two ounces OF melIed pu'-
ter, little salt and nutmeg. Let the
two eggs be well beaten, then mix all
the ingredients well together, and beat
them up just before tney are PuG inuo
the little cups half-full for baking
Bake for quarter of an hour in ho'
oven till the puffs are of a nice brown
turn out on a flat dish, rub little but
ter on each puff, and dust on it pow
dered sugar.
Tomato soup with milk: Scald, re
move the skins, and cut up quart o
of ripe tomatoes stew for half al
hour; add level teaspoontul OF soda
when done foaming add quart o
sweet milk let it boil up once, season
with salt and pepper, and add butte
if YOU want it richer; serve VIII
crackers or stale bread, like oyste

sure to add the milk after the soda, o
YOU will have mess of curdled stui
unfit to eat.
To make fried bread pudding, TAX
stale loaf of bakers bread, cut Il

saving Liquid Manure.

The Chinese and japanese raise the
finest vegetables of amy people Ill lhe

lionil manure. We think it is the
best mode of applying guam" OF any
very strong manure which aboulas
largely ia ammonia, as the pIail's Vi
saads are not 50 liable TO he injured by
fermentation.
Another good way to apply liquid
manure is to fill up hopper Win
stable or some other manure ana pour
in water and use the liquid. Mosl
farmers are too imlTovident in not
saving the large amount OF surplus
Iimid manures which are thrown
away every year.

kept-the pit, about 30 feet long, hVe

Thin seeding of wheat.

Mr. VIM. J. Thomas, Sandy Springs,
Md, gives the following in the Amer
lean Farmer, as the result of twenty
two years experience:
"More than twenty years ago, when
drills came into use here, one OF Che
strongest arguments in their favor
was that we could save half n bushel
of wheat per acre (it was customary to
sow two bushels per acre by handy by
using the drill. l could see no gooa
reason why less quantity would hoI
do sown broadcast; consequently L
sowed field by way OF experiment,
using one bushel and four quarts per
acre, at the same time doubling tne
quantity sowed on one land. me yleiu
was twenty-siX bushels per acre on
the field; did not keep the one lana
seperate, but the difference was very
perceptible. That sowed at the rate
of two bushels per acre was muci1
thicker than the part sowed WIN 10
bushels, and the heads were not mucn
more than half rs long. so satlsiled
was | with this trial that l have con
tined to sow | Is bushels per acre tor
the last twenty years, and have raised
| think, quite as good crois as my
n4iUhhors. In 1876 Brother .. L:
Thomas had just purchased drill ana
rom some cause some of the gearing
stpIt goVe s way, and in renewing it one ,,',t Of
the h cogs got misplaced, causing the
drill to SOW three pecks per acre, in
stead of five, as intended ana,
although he reported the fact to me, me
when / got the drill, | had so much
confidence in the result of thin sowing
proceeded to SOW a twelve acre i Held
The field had been in corn that year,
and the next spring, lS77) no ' one
would have supposed there had been
show. But at harvest it stood pretty
thick, and the telling part was IN mt taS 9e
long and well-filled heads, making 90
hushels on the field per acre"

How Chickens Get Out OF shells

American farln JOufllH'
Take an egg out of nest on which
a hen has had her full time, carefully
holding it to the ear; turning it
around, YOU wi | find the exact spot
which the little fellow is picking on
the inside of the shell. This he will
d1 until the inside shell is perforated,
and then the shell is forced outward
as a small scale, leaving hole. Now,
if vou will take one of the eggs III this
condition from under the hen, remove
il TO the house or other suitable place,
nut il in Il box or nest, keeping II
warm and moist, as near the temper
ature of the hen as possible (wllch
may be done by laying it between TWO
BOTTLES of warm water upon some
cotton or WOOL, and lay glass over
the box or nest, then you can sit or
stand as is most convenient and wit

Now watch the little fellow work
