We have been asked il our $50
sewing machine gift Is all right, or is
it only joke. In answer we would
say it is sure thing. We intend to
give this new Remington sewing
machine for the best two or three
pound roll of butter brought to this
office prior to November 18th, instead
of the best pound roll, for this reason: !:
1t will give the butter maker better
chance to make good roll and tue
cost is but trifle more. This was
suggested to us by a iirst-class butter
maker. Now we would like to have a
large number compete for this prize
and make it more interesting. This is
not n cheap sewing machine but one
that is well recommended and costs
what we advertise. The winner will
DO well repaid for her trouble in COM
peting for the same we guarantee.

pOrtunity to read it ourselves. 1t is a
handsome page paper, Z columns to
the page, exceedingly well printed from
new type; and as adapted to the gener-
al demand for first-class family pa
per, is unrivalled.
The first page is devoted to miscel-
laneous articles, wise or witty; the
second page to an unusually full install
ment of a first-class continued story
the third page to very successful de-
partment OF interest not only to the
ladies but to their gentlemen friends
the fourth and fifth pages, to current
news of the day and editorials; the
sixth page to the young people; the
seventh page to concise market re.
port and general merchantile news
and the eighth page to the interest OF
agriculturists.
We unhesitatingly commend the De.

beets, tried in this state several years ago,
scot, Il is said, not less than million dol
lars. The experiments in the same direc-
ton in Maine, Massachusetts, and Wiseon-
sin, though less costly, ended in complete
failures. The manufacture Of sugar from
sorghum has only benefited the makers Of
machines for extracting the juice and appa-
ratus for boiling 1t down. All the sugar and
syrup ever made In the country never paid
half the cost Of the articles purchased for the
purpose Of making it.
In 1882 probably the most complete es-
Enlistment for the manufacture of sugar
and syrup from sorghum ever projected was
put in operation at Champaign, III. The
best apparatus was obtained, and the con
eern placed under the charge Of a competent
chemist who had thoroughly studied the sub
ject of sugar making and had made original
investigations. The crop Of cane raised this
year was remarkably fine, still the establish
ment was closed before the crop was worked
up. One OF the stockholders writes:
''As it is, the Champaign sorghum sugar
enterprise has ended in financial disaster,
the larger part of the capital invested having
been sunk beyond recovery. The plant is
likely to be sold and removed. similar
fate overlook a mandatory of sorghum
sugar at Hoopeston, Ill, year ago, the in
vestment, q considerable one, having proved
total loss These sorghum sugar enter
prises seem to be getting on more success
fully in Kansas this year; but some Of the
stockholders say IL they get through the sea-
son without positive loss II viii be quite as
much as they expect. Reports from the
seat of the sorghum sugar works in Tennes-
see are scarcely more assuring than those
from Champaign county, H., butI am not
familiar enough with the facts TO state them
at length. In conclusion, the manufacture
of sorghum sugar is not likely to be resumed
in Illinois until the price of sugar has ad-
vanced fully fifty per cent. and perhaps not
fhen -
