THE PROFIT IN SUGAR CANE.
f.F B?*cd ?n Statistic* Quoted noil Cum
ruenfrd t pirn by Southern CultlYutor.
Statistics famished by competent au?
thority show that under favorable con?
ditions and with propor nttention to tho
crop $100 pp'jit can bo realized on ouo
ncre of sugar cano. This Btntement is
based upon a crop of 32 tons of cano,
"which will yield 183 pounds of sugar
pad niuo gallons of molasses por ton, or
d.324 pounds of sugar and U'SS gallons
of molasses per acre.
Pdacing the value of the sugar at 3
ceuts per pound and molasses at 30 couts
per gallon, the Taluo of the crop would
bo $8) 8 per aero. The sumo writer places ]
the cost of production at $118, as tho
highest estimate, which would leave a
Bet profit of $100 por aero. Such a crop
would bo equivalent to live hales of cot?
ton per acre, allowing one balo for ex?
penses of production and four bales aa
net profit.
Of course such cano cannot bo grown
Successfully nuless tho land is specially
Suited for the crop and thero uro facili?
ties for manufacturing tho sugar and
molasses. But, as popular authority as
The Southern Cultivator says that it
can ho safely calculated that the exten
sivo culture of cano would lie a source of
profit to South Georgia mid Florida
farmers. Thero is scarcely n plantation
of any extonFivo proportions in these
sections which has not. tho vory bost
lauds for growing this crop. And thero
is no reason why it should not be culti?
vated iu such quantities as would au?
thorize tho establishment of sugar man?
ufactories in these Ktatos. If Louisiana
can mako money on cane, Ueorgiu aud
Florida should do tho same- thing.
Hrtciit of Hoc-hlvcs.
In many apiaries tho hives stand near
tbo ground upon n pioce of joist 3 or 4
inches wide, or upon bricks, one under
each corner. Iu others tlm hives stand a
foot high, and again hives may bo seen
two or tfareofeet high perched on posus.
Aa far us tho bees uro concerned, it
doos not matter whether hives be high
or low, although, judging by tho habits
of the bees, tho higher the h Ivo is the
hotter they would like it. But tho boo
keopor is tbo ono to bo accommodated by
the position of tho hive, lie will place
it at tho height where, it will ho most
convenient for him.
It is extraordinary that tho hivus in
tho majority of apiaries are not placed
to givo the beekeeper tho best advan?
tage, owing perhaps to tho idea hold
by poiiui beekeepers that it is good?es?
sential?to have tho hoes near tho
ground. An Ohio Farmer correspond?
ent Fays that tho host nrrangemout for
hoes ia a platform upon posts suuk iu
tho ground at frequent intervals.
If tho platform havo a roof, it makes
it ail the better for tho bees and tho
beekeeper during tho warm weather.
The roof should bo portable and not bo
put ou beforo Juno, because bees want
till tho nun they can get up to that time.
Close Planttofi For Toh.ireo.
Tho question is often asked as to tho
best width to put out tho tobacco crop.
A specinl correspondent in tho Kentucky
Homo and Farm says;:
As for ourselves wo havo always ad?
vocated oloso planting-. Somo say it will
tako too ninny (ticks, or too luauy
plants, or tho worms are too difHoult to
lind. Very well, plant less crop. Ah
long ns color holds sway in the market,
close planting is tho best?that is, close
enough tiiat when the plants come to
maturity tho surface of the land will
bo covered, thereby keeping the sun
from heating the roots of tho plants und
preventing tho winds from wearing tho
ends of the leaves when lying on tho
gronnd. To do this, on good average
land, we would lay tie- furrows uot t x
?eediug three feet and four inches, and
tho plants not moro than 23 inches; on
very rich land a little wider and on
poorer land somewhat clos-.r. Afl r the
laud has been broken, innnnroshonld bo
Bpread and thoroughly incorporated into
the eoil by tho barrow.

l GREHN MANURING WITH COWPEAS.
[ Do Not Turn the Viuei Dnder Green, but
Convert Into liny.
Tho cultivation of cowpeas as a reu
1 ovating crop is now recognized by pro
I gressivo farmers as an important factor
in improved southern agriculture. It
has often been said that the "oowpea
is tho olovor of tho south," und tho
remark is both apt and true in every
respect, It is understood by all in tell i
i gent reading fanners that tho cowpea,
j liko the clover and other legumes, gath?
ers nitrogen?thu most valuable and
othorwise costly constituent of plant
and auimyl foods?from tho atmosphere
by'means of a peculiar process not yet
1 thoroughly understood. It ulso draws
upon the deep subsoil for supplies of
pbosphoria acid, lime and potash not
available to ordinary surface rooted
crops.
Hut the idea is current among farm
(Ts that the best disposition of tho crop
of cowpeas is to "turn them nndor." At
tho Georgia experiment station an ex?
periment covering two yoarswas under?
taken to determine what disposition of
tho cowpea is best, economically consid?
ered.
From a bulletin issued on the .-uhject
it is learned that tho two oxporiiueuts
agree with remarkable oloseuoss, and
the results may bo accepted as conclu?
sive, Thoroforotho "conclusions" reach?
ed are confirmed and adopted its fid
lows: 1. That tho host disposition of a
crop of Hold pea? is to convert thu vinos
into liny. 3. Tim next best is to permit
the peas to lipon und gather them or
pasture them. ?. Turning tho vines un?
der green gavo tho poorest economic re?
sults
It may bo truly .- aid that tho practice
of turning under a crop of cowpea vines
?ready for tho mower, mid in a few
days for the harn and for the cattle?
has no moro reason to sustain it thau
would tho practice of turning nndor a
crop of wie at, oats, corn or cotton at
its most vigorous stage of growth.
Nearly every form of stock fcotl would
bo a valuable and effect ivo fertilizer if
applied immediately and directly to the
soil, but the farmer, in an economic
eoum', can no moro afford to manure bis
soil with a crop of pen vines that, aro
