Prom the Vntley Farmer. > Clilncst* Siitfar Cune—Its tiiiluri*. : &c. This newly introduced plant is now producing quite a mania in the funning community. and in order to gratify the earnest wishes of a great number of our readers, wo shall endeavor to furnish them from time to lime all the light upon the subject of its culture, the manufacture of sugar, Ac., that we may he possessed of. The United States is naturally a corn growing country. Perhaps on no part of the globe is the climate better adapted to it, than in the more temperate portions of the United States, and the Chinese sugar cane is so nearly allied to the Indian corn, in the character of its growth, that we . think the climate will be equally suited to it. Perhaps nothing of the vegetable kind lias for a long time been introduced that w ill prove of greater value to the country than this new plant, even should it not fully meet the sanguine expectations of many who place ii high estimate on it for the production of sugar, for it will nevertheless prove a most valuable article of forage fbr all kinds of farm animals, and pirticula-ly for “‘soiling" purposes.— 1? it however well adapted it may prove to the production of sugar and molasses, it can hardly be expected that every family will find it profitable to enter iu the sugar producing portions of our country, from the common cane, but wo shall be glad should it prove otherwise. Should this plant be as valuable for the production of sugar and molasses ns some anticipate, its introduction nt this time, may be regarded ns providentially opportune, in view of the rapid decline in the production of sugar in the sugar producing portions

similar mission, Mr. Ilrownc obtained several bushels of tho seed of tins plant, grown trora that said to have been brought from South Africa, by Mr. Leonard Wray, of London, which proves identical with that of Mr. ibowne’s importation in The Chinese sugar cane, or sugar millet, {aoryhum narcharatum) is one of ,t grea variety of similar plants found iid different portions of the globe. Mr. Vilinorin, of France, says, that in a collection of seeds sent to the Museum of Natural Iliatory, of Finis, in 1 S-|«I, by M. d Abadie', there were thirty kind* of ffhum, several of which produced stems of saccharine flavor.

CTLT1V\TION. The Chinese sugar cane is similar in its habits and growth to the Indian corn and broom corn, and the same preparation of soil and the same cultivation are required. It is a vigorous growing plant, and is said to thrive well even on poor soil. As the supply of seed fur the present season is limited, we would suggest that it be planted in rows four feet apart, with one or two seeds dropped in each hill, from one to two feet distant.— The young plants are rather delicate, resembling the common broom corn. We will repeat the caution, that no varieties of the same family—say the broom corn, Guinea corn, Ac., be allowed to prow near or in the same field with it. It is recommended by some to remove the superfluous shoots or suckers as they appear, where the object is to grind the cancs, W lien grown as a crop for feeding stock, if cut about the time the plants are in blossom, a second growth will spring up. From its habits in this respect, it is possible that in a tropical climate, 1 the roots may bo perennial, oral least, biennial.

' which should bo added—say ten | gallons—half a tcaspoonful of cream I of lime, one pound uf finely ground and freshly burned bone-black, and two ounces of bullock s blood, oi^ the whites of two eggs*, or half’ a pint of skim milk, either will do. The blood or eggs, if used, (should bo beaten, and then divided throughout the muss, stirring all cold, and during the early part of the heating. The process iu this kettle should bo conducted somewhat slowly, and if the kettle be r i large enough to permit all the scum to rise without overflowing it, the scum need not be removed, as it will remain on the top of the fluid, becoming more and m ore compact. The juice should not he allowed to boil or simmer. After the clarification is perfect, the scum on top vv ill crack open in all direction*, and white, sparkling bubbles will rise through these cracks, overflowing the top of the scum, and it will turn over in masses. The scum may be taken oft' and the juice thrown on a blanket iu an open basket, thus partly filtering the mass. “it should then be placed in kettle No. 2, ami boiled ns rapidly as possible until a thermometer placed in it "ill indicate 220° of Fahrenheit,' " hen it should be again filter*-*'!- d'lie first portion passing the filter should be returned, as it will not bo quite Gear. Tho whole will then be bright, and may be put into kettle No. ft, which need he but half the size of the | others, and should be placed on 11 clear, strong fire, and so arranged that it can be readily taken from the lire at short notice. Face in this kettle a thermometer—it will com- 1 mence boiling at 22 0°, and gradually increase to 240°; the instant it reaches that point it should betaken from the : lire suddenly, for if permitted to rise!

o r • — n 1 . . 1 . of the United States within tin* lust few years. The quantity of augur now produced from nn acre in Louisiana, is hardly one-quarter what it was at the earlier periods of its introduction. We do not know that wo can assign the true cause of this decline, but we think it not unlikely that it will be found to result from exhaustion of the soil hy injudicious cropping, and from a deterioration in the quality of the cane, owing to the improper method of its propagation, being entirely from cuttings or joints of the cane, and these of the immature portions, while that which is more ripe is used for grinding ami the manufacture of sugar. In order to arrest this rapid decline in the produce of American Sugar, the government has fitted out a vessel which has already aailed under the direction of the managers of the Patent Office, to procure sugar cane cuttings from abroad, to take the place of the deteriorated stock now planted in the Booth.

t HARVESTING, PRESSING ANl> BOII.IXO. r As we have staled, wc believe it ■ will be found that the most proper s period to cut the corn, will be just - previous to the maturity of tbc seed, i but experience must prove bow much before, and bow long ufter this period, t will answer. The pressing and hoil- - ing should go on simultaneously with * the cutting particularly if the weather e is warm. Tbc leaves should be - stripped and tbc tops of the canes cut > oft before they are run through the s mill. The kind of mill that has been -.recommended for pressing lie cane, s is similar to the old fashioned cider . mill, with the rollers smooth, and J united with cog wheels upon each, of - equal diameters. The rollers may* be ■ lo or 20 inches in diameter. Iron is 1 undoubtedly better, but wood ■will 1 answer by way of experiment. If - two sets of rollers were arranged, so 1 that the cane would pass immediately ‘ from between one set into the other, tbc pressing would be more effectual. Hut should the sugar or syrup bo ' found profitable for home manufac- • turc, portable mills of proper conr struction will undoubtedly bo made I and for sale at tbe agricultural warei houses. Wo have beard of experi-

’ incuts in grinding iiti'l pressing the i cane in ft small way, in the common I portable eider mills. The boiling must follow without delay after the juice is expressed, otherwise fermentation will follow and spoil the juice. Each on tie is «ai<i to produce on an average about u pint of juice, and four quarts of juice %»ill make about one quart of syrup. The boiling may bo curried ou more , ' rapidly in Hat pans or those kettles with the broadest surface exposed to the heat; but any one familiar with boiling maple syrup can arrange these. The heat should he applied j

moderately, increasing until the syrup is brought to a simmer, but below the full boiling point, until the scum rises to the surlace and forms into puff’s.— When this ceases to rise it should be removed, when the boiling may proceed more actively. Where the alteration is to be continued to any considerable extent, other kettles should I , ' | be conveniently arranged, into which the syrup at this stage could be transferred, for further concentration, and the first kettle employed again with <t slower fire. It i& considered by some that lime is necessary to clarify the syrup ami neutralise the acid, while I

others think it is not important.— When used, it is recommended to 1 prepare it as follows: Take a half 1 peek of lime, slake it in a bucket of water gradually added, stir it well ' and strain through a cloth; let it set- ‘ tie for half u day; pour off the water and dry the powder. Of this, half a leaspoonful to two tcaspoonfuls to s every five gallons of juice may be ' added, nfier the scum has been re- 1 moved. I he precise degree of con- I ccntration must also be determined * by’ experiment. I I’rof. J. J. M.-ipcs, editor of the )\ orlcitti) I’liniicr, who has long been s engaged in the business of sugar refining in the city of New York, ‘ makes the following suggestions in the November number of that work.

to 241 , or more, it can never be purged. Let it stand in this kettle until a slight cruet commences to form on the sides nnd top,then scrape} this down with a wooden spatula, thin at the end and edges, and stir nil until evenly mixed with the more fluid portions; then pour into a conical sugar mould, stopped at its lower end, and place the nose of this mould on a drip-pot. The sugar-mould should be of tbe kind known ns the IJastar-, mould, ami it and the drip should stand in a warm place. The next day the sugar in tlie mould will be solid, nnd the plug in the bottom of the mould may Lo withdrawn nnd an • incision made upward with a peggingowl, replacing the mould on the drippot. The sugar or molasses will • gradually diip from the nose of the , mould into the pot, nnd the time necessary for this purging will depend upon the beat of tbe npartmeiit where it is placed; usually the syrup will all run oft in a natural way in a week or ten days, leaving the sugar in the mould of a bright at raw c lor. If the operator desires to make the sugar white, lie may do so by the process of claying, or liquoring.” The ground faro*, ss well ns the leaves and tops, make excellent food for stock, of which, most kinds are extremely fond. There are also other uses to which the plant is applied, but of this wc shall not now speak.

Our knowledge of the m vnu facta re of sugar or ayrup from the Chinese cane, is extremely limited, but few experiments having been made during the past season, and these upon a small scale, and in rather a rude manner. The largest quantity of syrup made, we believe, w as by Col. Richard Peters, of Atlanta, Ga. Some persons in Illinois and other State*. . have mode smaller quantities of syrup, ( which has been pronounced by compc- i tent judges to be superior in llavor to | that furnished by Col. Peters, and< fully equal to the best maple syrup.— i From wlmt has been done, we hope, 1 from the multiplied experience, the i Mining season, a very superior article i of syrup, if not of sugar, will he t made. But there is much yet to he I learned in regard to the treatment of t the growing plant, in order to pro- , (luce the greatest amount of sacclm- i riuc matter, as well as to the stage of f its development best suited to secure t that object. Col. Peters made his \

syrup from canes that had matured r their seed, and some contend that c neither th? quantity nor the. quality t i< affected by this course. But, s judging from the laws of vegetable b physiology, as well ns from analogy, t we are satisfied that both quality’ and fi quantity nre materially impaired.— tl Th: '• •no is said to yield from 30 to s 50 bushels of seed par acre; all the tl sti.ch that this seed contains, (be- * cause starch is but sugir in another u firm ) has extracted just so much oft V the saccharine from the cane that p would otherwise be available for the p production of sugar. We therefore w contend that the seed-heads should be mi removed as soon as they have tl (lowered, or before. The proper pe- a i riod fur cutting, we should consider, tc is when the juice is most concentrated e i and mature, or when the seed, had it al remained, would have passed the m milky state, or be nearly ripe. These et and many other important points in b' the manufacture, are to be determined by experience. Wo rely more upon j| the information we shall derive from ei th* present seas on's operations in fi. Franco than from what we shall gather n, ul home. tl

Camphor a Rkmeuy wt Mm:.— Any one desirous of keeping needs from the depredations of mice, can do so by mixing pieces of camphor gum in w ith the seeds. < ’ninphor placed In drawers or trunks will prevent mice fn.m doing injury. The little animal objects to the odor, nnd keeps a pood distance from it. lie will seek food elsewhere.

A Qfksttox r.v Moral. Philosupliv.—Not many days since*, tie following conversation took place in the ladies' first hail of Asylum in,— Miss l>ix had passed through n moment before, nnd a younger daughter I efour household, just started in her! teens, made one of a cluster culled 'together by the occasion. Girl. —“Who was the hulv whom wo saw with the doctor?” L'l.h/. —“That was Miss Dixr, the philanthropist." Oirf. —“M hat is a philanthropist, please?’’ L'l’Ii/. —“Philanthropist, my dear, i> a word from two Greek words, signifying a lover of men.” G> rl - —“Well, then, nre not nl! we women philanthropists?”— Opal, I'tica A.

Altstvet OF Ml.Ml.— Sydney Smith says he heard of a clergyman who went jogging along the road till he came to a turnpike. “What in t 0 pay?” “Pay, sir, for what?'’ allied the turnpikeman,” “Why, for my horse, to be sure.” “Your horse, sir, wlmt. horse? There is no horse sir. “No horse?’ said he, suddenly looking down between his leg*.— “(Jod bless me! I thought I was on horseback! - ’

HISTORY OF Tiu; CHINESE SUGAR CANE. The seeds of this plant wore introdioed into the United Htatea from France in 18')4 by Mr. J. D. Browne, who wai in that country in that year on a mission from the U. 8, Patent Office, for colluding seeds and Agricultural information. IIo there saw 11 iumll field of it growing and «ecured 200 pounds of the seed, which was, during that winter, distributed dr "bout the several .Slates. The seeds Were sent t > 1 ranee some six ••'uars nfrom tlie north of China, iom. Cul > i ■ ■! V f 'l I hr. Tlic following yyitr, while on a'

in regard to the manufacture of sugar from the Chinese sugar cane: “Jhe apparatus for clarifying, conccutration, etc., should be so constructed os to insure the greatest rapidity of action. In a small way brass kettles may be used; but for larger operations, requiring new ones to be constructed, thev should he of eojO'<:r. The use of alkalies in cliirit/ing bus long hern known, and their excessive use often injures the quality of the r ■suits.
