The experiments which the department of
agriculture has been making in the manu-
facture of sorghum have closed on account
of the exhaustion of the appropriation.
During the season II, 1000 pounds of sugar
and about 300 gallows of syrup have been
produced from 232 tons of sorghum cane.
The cost of production has been reduced by
improved machinery and methods from $40
to 81 per pound. Commissioner Loring will
not ask for further appropriations to con-
tinue the experiments at Washington, but
will recommend an appropriation of $1,000
for each State TO be expended by the State
Agricultural Association in the purchase or
lease of 10 acres of land in each State for
the planting of sorghum. The commission
er thinks The plan will prove popular and
that Congress will adopt it.

gard in selecting persons for Office, not for
their political afiliatien, but their ability to
properly discharge the duties of the place.

One of the most interesting features of
the December number of the St. Nicholas
magazine, is delightful account, written
by Miss Ella s. Sargent, of the "Children's
Christmas Club which was organized in
this city last year and was the means of
producing SO much happiness. This account
takes the form Of letter to all the children
of the world, to whom the story of the or
ganization and the festival is told in the
hope that everywhere the example of the
children Of Portland will be initiated, so
that Children's Christmas Clubs will spring
up by thousands and help make sMerry
Christmas" for the poor, the weak, the suf-
fering and the forgotten of whom there are
in every place enough to exercise the benev-
olence of the more fortunate. We are
strongly inclined to reproduce the whole let
ter; but in the first place our readers already
know about the matter, and in the next
place we could not reproduce the happy IL
Illustrations which adorn it in st. Nicholas.
But the members of the first Children's
Christmas Club will be glad to know that
their good work has been published so wide
ly and attractively. As the Club was formed
to last forever we suppose its members
ARE already planning for the coming Christ
mas and will not forget their noble motto
Freely ye have received, freely give.''
