Sugar Cane.

The refuse sticks of the sugar cane can be utilized iii making paper, and a contemporary expresses- natural astonishment that in faqe of the present large production of sugar, which results in the constant depreciation in value of this product, and per contra of the increasing use of papey, this industry has not been developed on a. practical basis, so as to enable the sugar planters to get a better return from their plantations. The mechanical and chemical manipulation required in this industry is, we believe, of the simplest cliiirilbtor, which only makes its neglect the more remarkable.
