Within the last year 1000 acres OF
apparently poor land at Rio Grande. Nj
were planted to sorghum, and the sugar al
ready made and in sight is 235 900 lbs. To-
600 gallons of molasses were also on hand
on October II. The quality of the cane
juice is said to be richer, and the sugar
betteri in its degree of purity, than the
average of Louisiana sugar-cane. The
company expects this year to clear S53, ,00O
and is so well pleased with the expert
ment that the acreage planted will be
doubled. The committee appointed by
the National Academy of Sciences last
year to investigate sorghum experiments
have visited Rio Grande and are said to
be greatly pleased with what they have
seen.
| Within few years the price of hops
has increased from 16 cents to 81 % per
pound. Twenty-Five tons have been har.
vested in Aroostook this fall, which at 81
a pound will bring $4,000 Five years
ago Mr.. j. B. Ireland of Caribou. planted
the first acre of hops in that county. and
sold his crop for Ii cents pound. This
year he has nine acres planted and gath
cred the crop from five acres. The roots
are cut in short pieces and planted like
potatoes and bear the second year.
Mr.. Ireland plants both together, al
ternately in the same row. This
gives Il good crop of potatoes the first
year. and the hops hop right up the next
spring without coaxing. There are so
acres planted with hops in that county,
so acres of which were planted last
spring. The average yield is from 700 TO
1000 pounds per acre. The poles are
quite an item of expense, but the sapling
| cedars, so abundant in that county, will
last many years. This crop has proved
even more profitable than the potato,
which yields so abundantlv and
which brings such fabulous prices.
enriching the Aroostook farmers to an ex-
tent never dreamed of. The Aroostook
farmers, who were so sadly duped few
years ago by one Gennert of beet sugar
notoriety, can now turn their attention to
crop that will pay better at less expense.

the pressure by the Dezendorf straight

chairman of the Malone convention, has
called upon the delegates to reasonable on

will probably get the nomination next. In
the Third District Hon. Geo. D. Wise was
re-nominated. In the Fourth, B. S.

the war, promises at some failure day to
regain Its prestige.
THE EASTERN LUNATIC ASYLUM.
This institution, also, located 1T Will
Harrisburg. Is an honor to the State. Its
beautiful grounds, delightful location, and
the air OF neatness that peryades the
whole institution, at once please and inter-
ext the visitor. There are upwards Of
300 patieuts at present in the institution.
Through the courtesy of Assistant Phyci-
clan. GarIick. of the female department.
and Hubbard of the male department,
your correspondent was permitted to go
through the institution. and was pleased
and gratifed at the complete and detailed
arrangement of everything calculated to
contribute to the comfort of the unfortu-
nate inmates. The whole place. inside
and out, was scrupulously clean and neat,
and every department Of the buildings was
well ventilated.
Williamsburg was originally beautifully
laid out city, but for want of ready access
to the commercial world has made little
progress. We we're informed. that there
are about /. 100 inhabitants. who are en-
( gagged in various pursuits, merchandising,
farming, DC.
Those in search of perfect quiet and rest
eau be satisfied here. To one who is in
the habit Of mingling with the busy world
in the larger cities, the absolute quiet was
really painful Now that the q d .. BY
are running two daily trains to Newport
News, which stop at Williamsburg beth
ways. there is little doubt but that the
tide Of progress will reach Williamsburg,
and that ERE long evidences Of improve
ment will be visible. b.

The villainous postal cards now in use
are but another illustration of the I'M
faithfulness of contracts and the negli
gence of government officials in looking
after the interests of the people. There is
little doubt but that the government is
charged a good round.sum for the contract,
but whether the profits or the difference be-
tween what bad job costs and what a
good job ought to cost, goes into the pock-
cts of the U. S. officials or the contractor,
is something known only to the ring. Be
that as it may, the public would be spared
q vast amount of annoyance and the devo-
ted head of the postal department relieved
of deal of hard cursing if honest postal
cards could be manufactured once more.
