MR.. EDITOR:
Thinking line might be
admissible from this end Of the county,
venture TO say, that while the far
mers have been as general thing lowing

rather thank our God for past fayors,
and bless his name that matters are no
worse than crOak upon the store boxes

Gods injustice TO man, by finding FAULT
with his disposition of the weather. We
have cause TO be grateful for the pres
ent prospect CT the wheat crop, if there
were no other favors granted to US, who
deserve not even the least OF Gods
most precious gifts. Permit me 10 say
our Temperance cause is still lncreas-
ing. aud the ill-wshes haYe not as yet
aud we are determined shall never
glory IN lis downfall. our WORKERS are
honest, earnest and true, and victory

HOW TO cHEApEE TRANSPORTATION
Chicago Evening Journal


One of the largest and most successful
sorghum plantations in thin country 10 to
be found at Rio Grande, n j., consisting
OF 1000 acres. Like all New Jersey land
1t was of an inferior quality, bat by liberal
use OF manure and proper cultivation, il
has been brought up 10 az average degree
OF fertility. The product of this wears crop
is estimated at 235, 900 pounds of sugar of
superior quality, and $4,000 gallons Of
molasses. The quality of the cane Juice is
said TO be richer, and the sugar better in its
degree of purity than the average of the
Louisiana sugar cane.
The company that owns the plantation
expects to clear over $4,000 on this veal $
crop, and it is so well pleased with the
results of this seasons experiments that
the acreage next year will be doubled.
Here is a hint for the progressive farm
ers of Illinois and other We stern states to
diversity their labor and include sorghum
culture in the list of their industries. If
sugar-making is profitable on the poor soil
of New Jersey, and the results satisfactory,
it would be much more profitable on the
rich and fertile soils of the Illinois prai-
ries.
Another suggestion presents itself for
serious consideration in this connection,
which is this: In these days of high rail-
road charges for the transportation Of such
crude material as wheat, corn and live
stock to the seaboard, isn't there some re-
lief to be found by the agriculturists of the
west devoting more effort to the produc-
ton of those articles of food hich
are less bulky and more vaIua
Bile than the coarse grains? For
example, the product of a thousand
acres of land devoted to sorghum, and
manufactured into sugar and molasses up
