A field of sorghum comprising about sixty
Eve acres. was grown near the city limits OF
Washington this season, by the Department OF
Agriculture, and the grinding OF sorghum cane
was begun at the governments mill on the 11th
instant. Speaking to-day of the crop, and OF
the probable results of this years experiments
in the manufacture of sugar from sorghum, Pro-
lessor Wiley, chemist of the Department of Ag-
rioulture, says
eve had a fine crop of cane, which promised
well until Frustrated by the storm oil sept. L,
when iJ was laid as fat as If a roller had been
passed over it. The tests made with the canes
which were left standing, compared with
those blown down, show that in the former
there is about ~ per cent, OF erystariz-
but 8 per cent. The latter will therefore yield q
very small quantity of sugar on milling we
are combining ourselves strictly to experimental
work, trying the various forms of DELEGATION
and noting the effect which they have upon the
coefficient of purity, of the price, etc: the ap-
paraJus for diffusion has now arrived and ex-
uensive experiments will be made in the extrac-
tion OF the juice from the cut cane by dlHuslon
We shall be able to report later relative 10 inc
experiments with the diffusion process. Our
work is entirely experimental. We are not try
ing to run it on manufacturing scale, and dlf-
ferent experiments are made with every tank OF
juice. During the season various methods or
DELEGATION will be tried with the view to devils
ing means for increasing the yield of sugar and
simplifying processes for it's extraction"
Professor Wiley has recently made an in
spectiOn of the works at Rio Grande, n. j. re-
specting which he said 1.-THE most successful
working OF sorghum from practical standpoint
seems to be at the plant of the Rio Grande
works. The yield is fair and the process ap-
parently quite successfull. They save their
bagasse for manure. They have 300 nogs.
which they feed successfully on cane seed, and
expect to increase the number TO 1000 1t 1s
calculated that each hog will give during the
year ten tons of manure, which will spread
over one acre of ground. 1t is found that the
cane seed from an will almost keep hog

The Importation of Breeders from the
Ranges of Northern Mexico.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Consul- general SUIT.
ton. at MatamOras, has addressed to the State
Department communication on the subject OF
beef cattle in Mexico and the United States,
having reference principally to the question
how best to supply the demand for cattle for the
ranches of the Western States. For the past
two or three years. he says the cattle men have
begun to look beyond Texas and into northern
Mexico for this supply. The chief cattle
range of northern Mexico, he says, lies
between a line drawn from Guayamas to
TampicO. and includes Sonora, Chihuahua, Goa
h uila. Nuevo Leon and Tamaul1pas, an area of
100000 square miles, two-thirds of which is
grazing land. There may be this section
100000 animals, divided about as follows:
tfoats, 2,5OU,OO0; neat cattle, 500, 000 horses
1000, 900; sheep. 1,000, 000 and mules, 500, 600
The imports of live cattle from Mexico have in
tne past paid an advalorem duty of 20 per cent,
Dut under the recent treasury regulations the
scope of which has been established by
test case, he says animals for
breeding purposes can be import ed free of duty,
the persons importing them being only obliged
ports them for such purposes. The decision IN
this test case, he says. is already known the
length and breadth OF the frontier, and he antic-
ipates that the stock men III Texas, New Mex
leo, Arizona, Kansas and Colorado will take full
advantage of it and go TO Mexico for breed ers
and that it will give a great impulse to the cat.

PETrIooATs IN THE NAVY.

How the Service Is Disgraced in the Sight
of Foreign Nations.
Special to Boston Herald.
Several months since the Secretary of the
Navy, acting upon information from different
sources, issued an order intended to restrict the
presence OF officers families with those on duty
on foreign stations. The following extract from
letter just received at the Navy Department
shows that order No. 800 was not issued too
soon. If the facts are as given by the writer:
"There are, indeed, evils other than that of in
temperance in the squadron on this station.
The state of affairs here regarding women on the
station, who are all ladies of great personal at
lractons, and, for that reason only the more
dangerous, is, / think, even worse than
elsewhere, as the following will show.
Great injustice has been done iD the
past three years, 10 my knowledge, to individual
officers by reckless shifting about or the latter
between the different ships, so that officers could
be with their wives in pleasant places This has
been notably the case with the Richmond. The
nOn-0fcial staff would, in a business-like way,
collect all their husbands together the flag
ship, pushing some poor fellow off 10 COrea or
OhetOO, and then, under their orders. the ship
would settle down for the winter at Hong Kong
and summer at Yokohama. Reference to the
number OF cruising days by the Richmond in the
past eighteen mouths will show only those EN-
ployed in transitu between these two places,
with stay on the way at the delightful port of
Kobe. Officers of foreign navles look with aston
lshment upon our methods. With them such
> thing women on the station is almost uu-
heard Of Then, too, the impression here among
the uninitiated regarding the Richmond is that
