FLOWING BY ELEcTRIcITY. The celebrated
French manufacturer of chocolate, NJ
Menier has recently been making some in
teresting experiments in his park at Noisiel,
France, utilizing the power of electricity for
the purpose Of blowing The machine used
is something which looks like tho combina-
ton of yelocipede and pillow, and its first
public exhibition proved to be surprise to
all who were present, the experiment being a
perfect success. Att given signal the ma
chine started off from the edge of the field,
leaving behind it wide deep furrow, and
turning around at the upper end of the field
came back in the same manner. The mo-
tive power was applied through wires by q
Gramme machine about half a mile distant,
and the plow-one of the Fowler pattern,
having six shares-did about the same work
as if drawn by four oxen. A man seated up
on saddle guided the apparatus over the
field, controlling the depth of the furrow by
means of lever.

How THE COUNTRY IS TO SAVE 800 600, e
600 A YEAR ON SUGAR.-The Hampden and
Hampshire (AIass.) farmers who discussed
the relative merits of beets and sorghum for
sugar production at West Springfield the 9TH
er day (says the Springfield Republican, seem
to have been uniformed as to promising ex-
perlments made with the cane during the past
season. Referring to the trials made at Am
herst with sorghum in years past, Prof Goess-
mann said the difficulty of crystalizing the
sugar was the apparently insurmountable
stumbling-block to the use of the cane. 1t is
precisely this point which has occupied the
attention of DR.. Collier chemist of the agri-
cultural department at Washington. Last
year the doctor planted great variety of
sorghum on the departments grounds, and
by careful experimenting is confident that he
has found just what the trouble has been in
making sugar. 1t is very simple, and is that
the cane has not been allowed to get dead
ripe before taking to mill. Cane treated at
different times previous to ripening showed
all the unsatisfactory results SO often COM
planned of by disappointed farmers cut and
ground at the golden moment the crystalliza-
ton OF the sugar was as easy and complete as
In the Louisiana sugar-cane itself. Indeed,
there was an appreciable percentage of sugar
III favor of the sorghum over the Louisiana
cane. After the frost has nipped the sor-
ghum the ability of capitalization again grows
imperfect. Thus the conditions of success
appear to be the planting of cane like the
Early Amber, which developes before the au-
tumn frosts, and then allowing the seeds to
become hard and ripe before the stalk is cut
DIR. Collier has been in communication with
various western farmers who have used the
seed distributed by the agricultural depart
ment and who have acted upon his advice in
the growing of the cane. The results of their
efforts have matched those on q smaller scale
made by the doctor. At Crystal Lake, Ill,
$1,000 pounds of excellent sugar were made
last fall, which readily sold at Chicago for 10
cents apound With the solving of the prob
lem of sugar growing from sorghum a fresh
impetus is likely to be given to cane culture
in the North Already it is attracting grow
ing attention at the West, and last week there
was convention of the sorghum-growers of
Minnesota at Minneapolis, in which the per-
vading sentiment was that of expectation of
great results from their specially in the fu-
ture. But there is no reason why the West
should monopolize sorghum growing, for it
seems to be proven that the cane thrives best
on sandy loan, not over fertile but freshly
manured, conditions which New England can
abundantly fulfill over large areas. In ten
years, predicts the sanguine experimenter of
the agricultural department, this country will
produce all the sugar needed for home use,
thus saving to the nation the snug little sum
of SlOOOOO,O00 now annually paid to the
Cuban planters.

FARM DRUDGERY IN HANOVER. Without
exception, the methods of cultivation EN-
ployed around E would be thought in
this country old-fashioned and inefficient.
Even such simple tools as the scythe and era
die are seldom used, almost all the grain be-
ing cut handful after handful with a sickle,
and then carefully laid out to dry before be-
ing bound into small bundles. A whole fam
lily works day after day over the grain, hand
ling each straw at least three times, and yet
showing no trace of mental fatigue at the Ito
me- awful monotony of the work. l could
only wonder at the temetity of government
which dares to educate people before whom,
from their childhood, lies nothing but the
prospect of drudgery so constant and so stu
pefying, The farmers to economic time,
generally do their threshing at night, rising
for this purpose at twelve or one O'clock and
working at it until it is time for their regu-
lar days labor to begin. The toll of a peas
ant being SO constant, is also done slowly and
poorly. A wood sawyer, for instance, holds
and works his saw with only one hand and
draws breath between each stroke.-P Opu-

to eat sand, dirt or gravel, mixed with their
food. The gravel and other indigestble sub

their food in the gizzard can be given sep

be made, defended by Stats placed vertically

the tramplng and soiing of the food which
will not be wasted, as in the case where it is
thrown carelessly on the ground.

Cooperate, cooperate, cooperate was the

France has agricultural schools for girls
One of the chief is near Rouen, which is said
to have been begun with a capital of one
franc by sister of charity and two little dis
charged prisoner girls, and TO be now worth
$3.50, 900. This establishment has 300 girls
from eight TO eighteen. The farm, entirely
cultivated by them, is over 400 acres in ex-
tent. Twenty-Five sisters form the staff of
teachers. More than one medal of the French
Agricultural Society has been awarded to this
establishment at Darnetel, and the pupils are
in great demand all over Normandy on &C
count Of their skill. They go out as stew
ards, gardeners, farm managers, dairy wom-

ing, an outfit and a small sum of money,
earned in spare hours. If they want home
they can always return TO Darnetel, which
they arc taught TO regard as home.
