The Iron and Coal of Indiana. A Blooningtou correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette writes as follows in regard to the coal and iron developments in the eastern portion of Greene county : "This region of country was surveyed last spring by Professor Petherick, an English mining engineer, now superintendent of mining operations at Pottsville, Pennsylvania, who
said it was possessed of the best
combinations of minerals of any : Any evaporator will boil twice as
Hints to Sorglio S rowers. 1. Do not put, off the purchase of your machinery until the last moment, or you will surely suffer loss. 2. Provide dry fuel at one-?, and plenty of it. Many farmers cut and haul green wood, day after day, as the boding progresses, and such sizzling and stewing under an evaporator, is disgraceful and disheartening. In this way but little syrup can be made in a day, and that terribly dark and tarry, and, instead of reproaching his owr, shiftlessness, the blame of the b id work is thrown upon the evaporatar. 3. Have provision made for an abundance of clean water. So locate your works, if possible, that you win not be compelled to haul it. 4. Construct a good bciliaghouse. with ample ventilation in the
roof for the escape of the steam.

How touching is this tribute of Hon. II. Benton, to his mother's influence : "My mother asked me never to use tobacco; I have never touched it from that time to the present day. She asked me not to gamble, and I have, never gambled. I can not tell Who is losing in games that are beir.g played. She admonished mc, too, against hard drinking, and whatever capacity for endurance I have o.t present, and whatever usefulness I may have attained through life, I have attributed to having complied with her pious and correct wishes. When I was seven years of age, she asked me not to drink, and then I made a resolution of total abstinence, and that I have adhered to it through all time, I owe to my mother." , - t

smelting, and make tougher and better iron than either Lake Superior or Iron Mountain ore. They are also more valuable, from the fact that the mines will be more easily worked than any other mines of equal extent now being worked in the United States. Large quantities of kidney oro are also found here, which are richer than the Hematite, but not found in so large quantities, nor so easily
worked. We see from these facts and they are facts that Green county, at least, will not have to
rely on either Lake Superior or Iron
Mountain lor her ore. She is richly
blessed in all the requisits for iron manufacturing; block cou.1, limestone, .sandstone, fire day, timber and water, all in abundance and all
easily obtainable; wanting nothing but capital and railroad connection with the rest of the world. It is
difficult as yet to say what route of
proposed railroad will reach this region, but the route naturally appearing; the best just now, and perhaps, giving more promise than any other, is the old Evansville and Cleveland Air Line. This road has recently passed into the hands of parties in Hartford, Connecticut;, who seem determined upon pushing it through. Now is their opportunity for building a trunk line that Vill not only be remunerative as a through line, but would also receive a local traffic from this iron region that in a very few years would be immense; and we venture the prediction that any company penetrat
ing these iron and coal fields with a road will, within ten years, find their capacity seriously taxed in
furnishing transportation for these
Greene county mines.

the lighter colored will it be, so by constructing a gcod boiling-hou&a, you accomplish two ends : you save probably half of t he fuel, and produce a sirup of much greater value in market. 5. Provide shelter for the cane brought to the mill. While having good ventilation, sane should, by all means be protected from sun and rains. 6. Get alt yo ir other work out of the way. Let nothing interfere with the working of the sorghum when it has reached the proper stage, for, at this period no other farm work can be compared with it in importance. We have been amazed at the indifference of farmers to this crop, in the fall, after they have gone through with the season 'sJabor, and a magnificent field of cane stands ready to be gathered as their rich reward. They have wheat to sow, or corn and potat oes to gather, or a new fence to build. What is an acre of wheat as oompared with an acre of sorghum ? or an acre of corn or oats? The statistics of 1868
Ishow that an aire of sorghum i&
wortli more than three acres oi wheat, more than four of oats, and nejtfly three acres of corn ; and this too, after charging up to sorghum all the expense of manufacturing.
but saying nothing about the expense of getting the other eros
ready tor marker. It is to your . interest then, to abandon all other work and get in your cane.
7. Cut it as so in as ready, wheth
er your mill is or. hand or not, and shelter as directed above. The weight of evidence just now, is in favor of cutting, is the seed is passing from the railk to the dough
state.
8. If you would make sugar,
prepare a graining room, m connec
tion with your bailing bouse, with
shallow trays or drawers, arranged
around the sides, and an easilv reg
ulated stove, by means of which.
th'3 heat may be kept up to 90 D
r uhr. 1 hen, wi ;h Clough s process
applied to the juice, you stand as gcod a chance fo: making sugar as
any one.
9. If you can arrange your mill ujwn a level so fir above your evajxirator that the juice may have s regular descent t ) the heaters, if yon use the Clough process, and from that through the settling tanks to the evaporator, it will be a great saving of labor. If you have no convenient hillside, erect a platform: this makes it more convenient both for handling the cane and taking array the bagasso. 10. If you purpose to travel fl w farm to farm you cannot always ha ve the conveniences of a fixed lec&tk but in any event, insist upon the evaporator being protected from tie wind, either with boards or canvats. B 3 sure your cainincy is high enough to carry tho sjiarks out of the way. Sorgho Jcuruai.
