Mr.. BachGaan:--As many persons
know that have cultivated sugar cane,

been requested by several to give my
views as to probable results for this coun-
ty through the SENTINEL, which l now
propose to do, if you will be kind enough
to publish them.
The crop that | made this year was the
third, having started with about 800
plants. Let me say here, thatsugar cane

expense because ! could do no better
with it. Here let me say, that the Of
hcers of the NJ. & T. Railroad not only
gave me the cheapest rates, but every
other facility at their command, from
Nice-President down to local agents, for
which ! feel much indebted For the
manufacture of the syrup, am indebt-

energy and economy, to supervise such
an establishment.
That cane (sugar cane belt remember
ed am talking about will grow here
and can be protected from winter frosts,
think need not be doubted. How far
1t can be made profitable, is question
that cannot answer SO readily. With
the little experience that | have had, |
would advise no man to make it staple
crop, and yet know OF no reason, why
any man OF industry and ordinary intel
ligence could not make his own sugar
and molasses of best quality and in great
abundance. Home supplies depend on
home demands and while even / of an
acre might do one family with sufiicen-
cy OF these articles, an acre or more,
might be requisite for. another. It. is as
easily cultivated as corn, btt it requires
rich, loose land. Our branch and creek
bottoms with their alluvial deposits suit
it admirably. Planted here in gener-
GUS soil and in warm open place during
the first good spell in February, and
covered we'll to protect from freeze, it
will begin to shoot out in March and con-
tinue coming, until the middle of May
and i'll the fall twill be difficult to tell.
the first from the last, SO equal will be
its growth. 1t should remain in the
growing condition until athreatened frost,
and then there should be force enough
to cut it at once, and throw it in q bulk,
where it could remain for several days
protected by the fodder it produces,
straw or grass, which the farmer might
find most convenient It is impo,taat to
let it grow to the last moment of safety,
as the sachorine increases more rapidly
as it natures than, at any other time.
Had | allowed my little crop to remain
until now l4th) it would have doubled
in quantity OF sugar and syrup.
As money crop to me, / am candid |
to confess this one, was not a success,
but it was owing IN great part at least,
to circumstances that could not control
a condition that sometimes limits the
efficiency of a potentates might. But
am by no means discouraged, and as be-
fore stated, believe that any man oil
ordinary enterprise in our county could
produce his own sugar and molasses from
sugar cane with enough to spare after
little experience, to cover all expenses. |
The counties East, and little South OF !
us,are doing it,and five are behind them
in anything that constitutes progress,it is
time that we are getting ashamed Of it,
and coming to the front.
In conclusion, let me say in answer
to enquiries, that have few thousand |
stubble plants that | would sell, because
have more than an old one horse far
mer can conveniently handle, and will |
eheerfully give any other information
about the business that | possess.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular Correspondent

WASHINGTON, D. G., Nov, 11Jh 1882
Many Government employees who had
been home to vote have already return,

Department. The President arrived
from New York last evening. Secretary
Frlger, locking much tatigued and crest.

rode from the station to his home in a
street car A sprinkling Of members and
Senators arc here, andlt is expected that
nearly all those who have permanent
homes in Washington vii! arrive within
the next ten days.

subject OF universal conversation in this
city, which literally lives, moves and
ha- its being in National politics. An
old government clerk said to-day that
he had never before known such wide
spread CONSERVATION and dependency
among government employees. Many nt
them are anxious to leave an employ

against dismissal. II is safe to say, there
are now ten advocates for civil service

A PECULIAR DISEASE. The Dalles Times
learns that there is disease which is be-
coming alarming to some Of the farmers
there, that attacks their horses in most
singular manner, the first symptoms being
the legs of the animal beginning to swell,
then a breaking out, resembling, to some
extent, boils, which covers the entire limb,
causing the hair to fall of, and leaving the
diseased portion in very sore condition.
What this disease is, we are not prepared to
say, but we invite those who are acquainted
with it and can cure the same, to give the
public the benefit. that those who may need
such can rid their stock Of this pestiiencs be.
fore it spreads over the country generally.

We were shown this week a letter dated Albuquerque, November 27th, 1882, from Chief Engineer Kingman, of the Atlantic and Pacific railroad. i'll which he said that the first train would cross the Chino bridge on December 9th and that it was the inten- tion of the company to aeach the Colorado before the spring rise, not later than Aplil 1st, 1883, and that after leaving the Chino bridge they would average mile a day. We have since been informed by w. H. Hardly who was there, that the first train passed over the bridge on the 9th.
 Passenger rates on the A. & P. railroad this side of Albuquerque are ten cents per mile on any and all trains,
 An express train now runs clear to the end of the track once day both ways.
 ". H. Hardy informs us that ho has all the passengers he can carry, that he has. es- tabIished his own stations, which arc all we'll supplied with water and barley, oats and hay and that he has six double teams running between Chino bridge and Mineral Park and that the mail will now be delivered in Mineral Park in 30 hours from the end of the track.

The Southwestern mining company keep their mill running day and night, using only ten stamps out of the fifteen. They are running through an average of ten tons of ore per day loom the company's mine The ore averages about $S0 per ton. The company are working twenty men in the mill and forty in the mine, which is six miles from the mill. There IS ore enough in sight in the mine to keep the mill run ming for three years.
 w. H. Gam, who formerly kept butcher shop in this town, is keeping restaurant and butcher shop here and making money. Ms, Gam is postmistress.
 Ed. Bauman is running the engine at the mill.
 It is reported that Andrew Fife has leased the Lincoln mill and will start up work about January 1st, 1883.
 McGregor, Orcott and about twenty others are chloriding in the vicinity of the Canon and are doing well.
 The Southwestern company sent down $15, 600 worth of bullion on the last steamer.
 The mill is turning out some of the pret- tisst bullion ever seen, some of it being very nearly 1000 fine.
