Fall or winter plowing, as I know from experience, is no kind of security against the depredations of grubs or other insects. The ground may be plowed from four to six inches deep, and in such a manner as to leave no pajrt of it unturned, except where the lands arc struck out. Plow in large lands so as to have butfcwopcii furrows through the field, roll and harrow it and mark it out in squares of four

NUMBER. ONE. tt

In answer to several inquiries as to "How Sorghum must be managed to make good syrup of it, and to convert that syrup into sugar," we make the following brief statement: 1. Plant it early, on deeply plowed, well pulvemed, naturally, rich or wcl^iaahur^d soil, not inclined to be wet. Cultivate it thoroughly. Remember you are not operating with a view to produce a heavy crop, so much as to induce the growth of a perfect vegetable stalk, fully ripe before frost.

Therefore" run the cultivating l»lbw. deep early in the .season, .but sh^fcwer'fctfefM the season, Rafter th6 rofrt fiter^fci^e sp&ad over tlife ^oand^j'bfecjlTisc if they arc Cit off tlic plW icijir th'e stalk, the: stall: growth is set .back un,til new roots'.'ard formed and renidve all, suckers, boijakse they tak too heavily the foots,1 an'd because the stalk sap cannot mature whilst tlie suckers are Still growing. 2. Cut up ?md Ee^jjateTSie talk from the. roots as soon as fully .ripe, and then protect from the weather. Cat off all remaining suckers and unripe tops with religious care. Some prefer to, cut off -the tops of al|, ripe and unripe,, and. make* eider of1 thep—we suspect the idcajsa good one. Press the stajks thus selected and proceed io. boil the juice. If the cane is good use no alkali of any kind.
