Farmer's Department

- CONDUCTED BT AM AGRICULTURIST. Wll ri_.. —... i . —.. . ~ CHINESE SUGAR CANE. We hope that each farmer in Jaspercounplant, this year, enough of this valuable addition to the productions pf the Northern States, to make his own sirup; and for your encouragement and edification, we will give you what facts, relating to the cultivation of it, the experiments of last year elu4tida|fdt. that almost every one made the same’mistake last year, that of planting it (In drills; for experience has demonstrated that it will yield much more sirup to the acre if planted in hills, as other corn, only !• little thicker, say three feet apart, and

from four to six stalks in a hill. Mr. Aaron H. Vestal, of Cambridge City, Indiana, produced last year one hundred and thirteen pounds of sugar from the eighth of an acre, by planting as above mentioned. It should be cultivated much the same as other corn, though while small it will require more hoeing, as the young plants a|re so small tha€it cannot be cleaned in the hill with a plow. Three or four workings are sufficient to produce a luxuriant crop. Another universal mistake last year was, that th? cane was cut too early, as the following statement, verified upon, oath, will clearly prove: Mr. David G. Rabb, of Ohio County, says that he expressed juice, on the 17th day of September, seven gallons of Which made a gallon of sirup of Viirtybight degrees density, by Baume’s Saccharametrr. , October 13, five gallons of juice t inade one of sirup of forty-four degrees density; November 12, four and a half gallons of juice made one of sirup of fifty-five degrees density; December 2, four and a half

gallons of juice made one of sifup too thick to be tested by Sacchapmetcr. Rabb says: "On the 17th of December I pressed from forty pounds of cane twenty pounds of juice, four and a quarter gallons of which made a gallon of sirup of fifty degrees density. In my opinion the cane at this time was in better order for making sugar, than at any other in the season.” He found that in the experiments of the 17th and 27th of September he could not force the sirup to crystalization; that of October 13 crystalized until one-fourth of the quantity became sugar; that of November 1‘ one-third became sugar. Thus it increased, withont any diminution in the qahtity of juice in the. cane, until on the 17th of December the crystals appeared, before the sirup Was cool. But wc have already said enough to convince you that, by a little labor, you can just as easilj- keep in your own pockets the dollars that you annualy expend for sugar and molasses, as not; and not only keep the money, but also have a superior Article to that you buy. One says, “it looked like new-made honey, - ’ another, “it was eqnal to Shy golden-sirup.” In fact, all speak of it in the highest terms. We will, when the season comes around, givtv tho modus operandi for crystalizir.g the sirup. Now, we hope thievery farmer will plant at least one-eighth of an acre, and thus retain in Jasper county the hundreds of dollars annually sent out for sugar and molasses.

To the Farmer.

There ia ■omethiryg worth living for fcjeeidea money. That is very good, but it is not all. With the rest, let us raise a good crop of ideas.. While you are farmers, re-, member that you are also men, with duties and responsibilities. Live down the old ! brutal notion that a farmer must be uncouth, uneducated arid unthinking—a mere plodder. You are ’brought into immediate contact, with the great heart of civilization. You cannot get out of the reach of the buzz ofj Hie toiling of the world. The thrill of the , wonder-working wires, and the rumbling J locomotive (the thunder-tread of nations) come to your once secluded hillside. Move toward a better life. Do not keep yous boja corn-shelling all the long.winter evening. Make your farm a place that your eons and daughters cannot help loving. Cultivate the ties—they are God’s messengers. Care much for newispapers, books and

pictures. Don’t keep a solemn parlor into tfhich you go but once a month with the pitfsofl or the gossip of the sewing society. Hang your walls with pictures that shall '*W Ul ' “'.C-Tr? mercy, hope, courage, faith >Zch»rity- Make your living room the j largest and most cheerful in the house; and j leltJrt place be such that, when your boy has gone off to distant lands, or even, when, perhaps, he clings to the single plank on the lonely waters of the deep, wide ocean, the thought of the old homestead shall come across the waters of desolation, bringing light, hope and love. Have no dungeons abotrt your house—no rooms you never open—nolffinds that, are always shut. Don’t teach your daughters French before they can weed a flower-bed or cling to a side-saddle; and, daughters, do not be ashamed of the trowel or the prun-ing-knife; bring to your 5 doors the richest flowers from the woods; cultivate the friendship: of birds—study botany, learn to love mature, and seek a higher cultivation than the fashionable world can give you.—Natural AgrifuUurv'l,

Feeding Horses.

A correspondent of the Scientific American remarks on this • import trim topic: “The towing of boats on the Erie canal is done in part by hofses that are taken along with the boats, and partly by towing companies who keep their horses at stations about twelve miles apart along the whole length of lhe canal. There are three of these towing companies, and they employe about 1400 horses. They have found, after, great- experience, that the most economical and best feed for their horses, is a mixture composed of .equal parts,,-by measure, of corn-meal and mill feed (bran or •shorts, weighing about twenty pounds to the bushel) mixed up wet, with cut hay, and they accordingly feed this altogether.

» Kentucky, a plowman became enamored of a milkmaid on a neighboring farm. His addresses were rejected, and the disappointed swain, full of melancholly and revenge, procured a rope, went to the farm, and—tied all the cows’ tails togotlier.

A trial of speed for fifty dollars a side, between a horse and a locomot ivc, came off at. St. Thomas, Canada West, last week. was eighty ro'ds( and the horse came In Wrivinner by half a length.

Gl* PUTNAM &. CO. have published and a have now for sale, BURTON,S PILGRIMAGE TO MECCA And the Tomb of the Prophet, With an introduction by Bayard Taylor. 1 vol., 12m0., with illustrations. $1 50. The history of this curious book is an follows: Burton, an officer of the East India Company, having by a long residence in Tppcr India acquired a perfect knowledge of the Oriental language and customs, projected a visit under the auspices of tfie Royal Geographical Society, to the Holy City of Mecca and the Tomb of the Prophet at Medina, places rarely, if ever before, visited by an Englishman. This he successfully accomplished in 1853-4, disguised as a Mohammedan Dervish. The history of the pilgrimage is not surpassed in interest and originality by any book of travel ever published—embracing his residence at Cairo as a Mohammedan student; the journey across the desert with the great annual caravan_of pilgrims; the visit to the tomb of the Prophet; the discovery that the great Blackstone of Mecca is an aerolite; Che annual sermon preached at Mecca-to an audience of 156,000 pilgrims, gathered from all parts of the Moslem world; his . narrow escape, from detection, and the only accurate account of the Mussulman faith. To the religious community this work furnishes information never before made pub’fc, respecting the ceremonial laws of a large portion of the Eastern world; while, for general interest, Burton’s will compare favorably with either Rothem, or Crescent and the Cross.

PROSPECT|XS Of the Thirty-seventh of THE INDIANA STATE JOURNAL, 13HE JOURNAL is now its Thirty- . seventh Volume. It was established in 1822, ! and is the oldest paper in Inda&D*.. It is equal i in age to the city of is nearly las -old as our State governmentßjlt was established when Indiana was little ejsb |han a wilderness, and when Indiana scarcity existed except in name. It has lived and grown jupon its own merits, seldom receiving otliciai 1 -.patronage., or governmental favors. Its “household word" throughout the length ard of the State, and its position upon all public matters—political or otherwise—is so well known that anything said in reference to its upon any of the questions now before the pejcple would be superfluous. The Journal will continue the great principle of freedom, and give its support to the Republican parly, as the parly of the people—acting with the party when #ight, and repudiating it when wrong—but it be for the coming year more of a family pdjter that it has ever yet been, and De made more acceptable to the general reader than a purely.political paper could be. s I The session of Congress under a new administration is always fraught with or less importance'to the welfare of the ciThitry, and the present session will be looked upqii with feelings ( of peculiar interest. The positio&ot the admin- I istration upon Kansas affairs is a matter of much j public concern. The Utah question, :r?*d the progress of the anticipated war in that qua ter, i will be a subject of great public interest as 10. tr as it remains unsettled.
