non or juice by excessive pressure OF
the canes. Juice obtained by moderate
pressing is purer than that obtained
by extreme pressure, for this extracts
not only mora juice but also more i'm
purity from the shell and the joints Of
the canes. With limited power a lar
ger quantity of strip can be made In
a given time from moderately pressed
cane than from less quantity Of cane
subjected to greater pressure. But
there is generally much unnecessary
waste Of juice in grinding sorghum
cane. The rolls often need to be turn
ed'-that is, reduced to even diameter,
the bearings need babbiting and the
rolls need to be properly adjusted to
each other. The feed THAT is, the
amount Of cane In the mill at one time
should be light or heavy according to
the adjustment Of the rolls When the
rolls are set open the feed should be
heavy; when they are set close to-
gether. the feed should be thin or
light, but In both cases the feed should
be regular and uniform. II Is evident
that when the rolls are set open or
apart. there Is waste Of juice when the
feed Is light and also that canes can be
well pressed. though the rolls are not
set close, provided the feed is heavy"

Experiments for the purpose Of de.
termlnlng as to the effects Of topping
have been made at the stations in Ala,
bama, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana
and South Carolina. In only one Of
the experiments so made, an Alabama
experiment, were the results decisiyely
in favor of topping" This was for one
year only. For the year next following
the slight advantage was with the
plants not topped. The Georgia station
in 1890 or 1891 obtained smaller yield
from topped plants than from those
not topped"
The effects Of topping ut different
dates were studied in these expert
ments, and it was found that the
earlier the topping the greater was the
injury" At one of the stations that
of Mississippi, topping as late as Sept
20 resulted in a large shrinllagc IN
yield. Ii is, in n suggestively eau
tionary way, observed that topping
has given contradictory results under
different conditions" Home and

Seeding and PnsturinE stumpnge.
With n little scientific handling
stumpage may be made excellent pas
turage In some of the heavily wooded
sections Of Wisconsin the COW IS
brought In about as soon as the timber
has been hauled away. The stumps
remain, and in the course of nature the
spaces around them would soon grow
up thick with briers, berry bushes and
underbrush. But the farmer puts in
his harrow and perhaps his plow, and
the land is roughly prepared for grass
seed, which is at once sown. The
grass quickly gets a firm hold, and
there is no room for either underbrush
or weeds. The whole land is soon &C.
cupied with grass except that actually
occupied by the stumps.
The cows are then turned into this
pasture and occupy it for years. Mean
time the stumps, if they be of certain
varieties Of trees, are rotting away at
the roots, and the rotting clears the
way for the stumpage pasture to be-
come a tlllable field. This plan is
worthy Of more general adoption, &C.
cording to Farm, Field and tIreside.
Land that has been cleared of timber
is generally allowed to lie practically
waste for long years. If the cattle are
turned upon It for pasturage, they sim
ply browse the wild grasses that
spring up here and there Too often
weeds get possession in such numbers
that the whole area becomes a verita-
BILE thicket Of weeds In all such cases
grass should be placed in possession Of
the denuded land.
