brief statement of facts in regard to the pro-

| brief statement of facts in regard to the pro-
duction of syrup.
The black seed cane is the original variety,
the others being improvements on It by cul-
tivation and particularly by the use Of ma
nures. The best varieties of this cane con-
tain as large an amount of crystallizable
sugar as the average cane Of Louisiana.
The tests Of syrup are weight, clearness,
and purity, and the question is how to gain
these qualities In the greatest degree. In
order to do this everything must be done by
system, and nothing left to accident or
chance.
THE SOIL TO BE PLANTED.
As q rule land that will produce large but
light colored wheat is the best. It is mis-
take to cultivate sorghum as you do corn.
The principles of its growth resemble those
of wheat rather than corn. The best results
are gained on old ground, as new imparts
Objectionable features to the syrup. The
next question is in regard to the
MANUREs TO BE USED.
Stable manures must not be used, as they
will impart their taste to the syrup. Lime
and ashes are good, and there is nothing
better than the trash from about the cane
mill. II animal manures are used at all, let
it he very sparingly, as top dressing, i'm
mediately after planting, as in that way the
Objectionable gases are not retained in the
soil or given to the plant.
FLOWING.
In this, as in regard to every other spring
crop, deep blowing in the fall or early winter
is required. Plow so as to secure drainage.
This will be best done by ridging or backing
up four burrows together, two on each side
with valley between them. Plow your
lime, ashes or cane trash under, and if your
supply is not very abundant, place it under
the ridge where the plants can reach it most
readily.
PLANTING.
Early planting gives the best results in our
climate, especially in this crop. The ground
should be cultivated in ridges so as to secure
drainage. Keep the ground clean and loose,
and the soil deep. No other crop pays so
poorly if stuck into the ground and then left
to take care of itself.
Sugar cane is different from corn in the
fact that the suckers do not injure the CEN
trail stalk. They are merely the stooling out
of the plant, and need not be removed, as
they yield good syrup.
The processes of cutting, crushing and
evaporating will be noticed in another arti-
tie. T.. C.

Death of DR.. P. j. Hennessy,

DR.. p. j. Hennessy departed this life on
September 10, at O'Clock A. NJ, at the Sis
ters' Hospital, St. Louis.
DR.. HenneSsy was a man Of good moral
character, great ability, and of a most anna.
BILE disposition. Always jovial and pleasant,
he had gathered around him large circle Of
friends who always appreciated his company
and respected him for his sterling qualities.
In his profession he was a most careful and
conscientious attendant on his patients, hav-
ing at heart their interests, and instilling in
to them, by his happy manners, new hope
when death seemed near. His first years Of
professional life were spent ut Iron Noun
tain and Granite Quarry, and he served q
term as Coroner of Iron county. Having
removed to st. Louis, he was building up
nice practice, when, ut the earnest request
of Kansas City friends, he removed to that
city to fill a vacancy occasioned by the death
Of friend, At Kansas City his success was
astonishing, and his practice extended so
fast that he was kept busy night and day,
and from the start he overworked himself.
AS he was q man of good constitution, how
ever, he had no fear, and attended to the
door a charity case. During the severe win
ter of 1SS0-S1 he worked necessarily, and it
was not till after he had suffered from
rheumatism some time that at last he was
FRUSTRATED by that painful nalady, and left
for St. Louis and Hot Springs in May, 1881.
Having recovered from his trouble in about
two months, he returned to Kansas City;
but from that day on he was never well, suf-
fering many attacks of inflammation of the
bowels. At last, On the Goth of July, he was
stricken with very bad attack of the same
malady, and, after suffering in Kansas City,
for weeks, left for st. Louis, where he lived
a few weeks longer. Even the day before
his death, friends who saw him could not
appreciate the condition he was in, as he
laughed and joked with them; therefore all
were dumbfounded when his death was re-
ported, and many shed tears at being de-
prived Of SO great friend. His place at
Kansas City will be hard to fill.
DIR. Hennessy's funeral took place from
st. Johns Church Tin St. LOUSY, where SOL
emn requiem was said. Bishop Ryan being
present and pronouncing the absolution.
Rev. j. j. Doherty preached a fine sermon
and eulogized him greatly. A large train of
carriages accompanied his remains to CAL
vary, and his body was placed by the side of
his departed mother.
The Doctor leaves an only brother, Rev. j.
J. Hennessy, to mourn his death. Although
his life was short-he being only thirty two
years of age-it was most useful one; and
that he was energetic is proven by the fact
that he had accumulated considerable
property.
