wise. That this Industry without doubt
would bo profitable one seems to have its
support from thefact, that it is now most
commonly practited in most parts of the
state. From facts and information gather
ed, the average yield per acre, can be set
at $50 gallons, and viii that at so cents per
gallSn, and about the half of that amount
for pressing and cooking, would leave .
net profit of $37.5 besides the value of the
cane for cattle, forage, and as fertilizer. II

the stalk is not used for manufacturing,
produces an average of fifteen bushels per
acre, and it is stated that capital bread
can be made of the -four made from the
seed. have head good nIahy say that
they would try to raise the cane if there
only was show Of getting it prepared.
Hoping that some one more expert will
take the trouble to enlighten US a little
more by publishing his experience and
opinion, and offering to prepare the serg

Sleighing is excellent.
Our village WAS thrown into considerable
excitement few days ago by hearing q
succession of shots, and on learning the
cause it was found, that the appearance on
our main street of q narrow gauge mule
commonly called a Jack Rabbit-was the
cause of bringing out our retired hunters
and some of our tieetest dogs, and after a
fruitless chase over couple of miles of
this beautiful prairie country the hunters
returned and peace and tranquility were
soon again the order of the day.
At a meeting of the school district held
on the 4th inst. at this place to locate a
site for the erection of the new school
house, it was focated on block XI in the
village limits. Another meeting will be
held on the 18th inst. asking change of
said locetlon.
A social club has been organized at this
place, its object is to orgari1e band of

EDITOR TRIBUNE,

EDITOR TRIBUNE, -
DEAR SIR:--Now that the question about
the raising of Flax has had its appertaining
treatment and seems to have come to a
temporary conclusion in your colums, the
question arises in my mind, if there is no
other products adopted for crop rotation,
and a more stable and profitable farming
on our prairies. And in considering the
same have come to the conclusion that
this question ought to receive more atten-
tion, and be more fully followed up and
discussed. Our present system of farming
is rude and of forced nature, as very lit
tie attention is given to the alienation of
crops. The term is hardly appreciated
| But notwithstanding these features, the
value per acre of farm products raised here,
will favorably compare with that of any
other section Of the state. AS an object
worthy of receiving some attention have
thought that the production of Sorghum
ought to be brought into consideration. 1t
seems to be an established fact that our eli
mate and soil are favorably adapted to the
growth Of the cane, but there are some diff
fculties to be overcome, such as to get the
best kind of seed, to learn the right time
and mode of planting, the requirements Of
plant, etc. But the most trouble seems to
be, in where to get the cane pressed and
have the cooking done. This impedimen
could also be removed, if only some one
| properly experienced in the manufacture ol
the juice would step to the front and say
that he would procure the necessary appar
atus for pressing and cooking, and do til,
