The Farmers Club.

A Discussion on Sorghum Culture i'm
 This Locality.
 A meeting of the New Haven County Farmers Club was held in Sheffield hall yes terday afternoon, President J. J. Webb in the chair.
 In opening the meeting President Webb gave some of his impressions upon the ques- ton which was to occupy the attention of the club. He said it was question of great importance to the welfare of the State and country. The amount invested In the impor- tation of sugar in 1878 was $1O9, 1000, 900. A sorghum convention had recently been held in St.Louis, where it was stated by an eminent chemist that the sorghum plant had all the elements necessary to produce good sugar. He thought this was of great interest to farmers, as when they learned to live within them selves farming would become profitable. President Webb introduced Marcus Hyde, of the sorghum plant. He said that he raised from ninety rods of land 104 gallons of mo- Iasses, samples of which he exhibited to the members of the club. The molasses had the appearance of Porto Rico moIassss. Mir. Hyde stated that 1t took about eight gallons of juice to produce one gallon of syrup. He would be willing to make it for twelve cents a gallon at his mill, if the owner provided horses. Itswould take about nine gallons of syrup to make pound Of sugar. He sold his molasses to his neighbors for ninety cents 8 gallon.
 Charles Dickerman, of this city, said he had recently returned from the West and the manufacture of molasses from sorghum was attracting 8 great deal of attention. He thought that farmers in that section were in- clined to enter into the raising of the cane and the manufacture of syrup and sugar to 8 large extent.
 MT. Shares said that years ago he was much interested in the raising of sorghum, but he could not give the details. He found that in one year he raised and sold $16O worth of sorghum. He told of his plan of classifying, which he said removed the raw green taste. He could boil about forty gallons a day, for which he received 124 oents per gallon for the labor. There were different kinds of cane and some of it matured quicker than others. The earlier varieties matured quicker, but it was not as profitable to raise. He had never had much experience in sugar, but for mo- lasses and syrup he thought . good deal of it.
 After further discussion the meeting ad- iourned. .sss5.

PHILADELPHIA WONDER.
A White Child Gradually Becomes as Black
as Negre.


as Negro.
For over 16 months an uptown physi-
clan in Philadelphia has been attending
case Of disease that is SO rare that the
like Of it has never been known, or, at
least, recorded in medical works. 1t is
case of real melanosis, or augmentation,
where the pigment, or melanamio as it
is technically called, which gives color
to the hair and eyes, pervades the whole
body. A boy born OF white parents, and
perfectly natural in color at his birth,
turned, under the disease, az black as a
full-blooded negro. The parents live at
1907 Lemon street, the father, John Sal
ter. beng a mechanic. Ten months after
marriage there was born to the couple
tine and apparently healthy boy. The
infant thrlyed, and promised to develop
into a robust man. He was beau
tiful child, with fair complexion,
dark eyes and silky dark brown
hair, which grew in protusion. But in a
few days the parents were alarmed at
aemarkable change that was coming over
the child. He gradually grew dark. At
frst his skin became pale yellow, then
aeepened into saffron hue, and then to
the terror of the parents, grew darker yet.
The color was uniform all over the body,
except at the joints, where it was little
darker, and in the palms of the hands,
where it was lighter. The once brown
hair grew stiff and jet black, and the eyes
also grew darker, SO that the line between
the pupils and iris could not be distin-
gulshed. In spite of medical treatment
the boy became worse, and grew very
weak, ali the time the color OF his skin
deepening. At last he became as black
as full Dlooded negro. Then he was
attacked by convulsions, which grew
more frequent and violent until they
threatened the child's life. 1t was in one
of these that DR.. Reynold was called in.
He succeeded in curing the spasm, and
devoted his attention to the strange DIS
ease which afflicted the child. He at
once recognized it as malanosls or pig
mentatlen, which is mentioned IN the
books in general way, but there is no
case given where it had developed all
through the body. This was over six
teen months ago, the cA..d then being
l3 months old.i Since then the boy
has greatly improved, by degrees becom
ing lighter, until now he is a hight chest
nut color. Since DR.. Reynolds has had
the case in charge the child has been Wis
tied by over 200 physicians.
