F rom the Cotton Planter. CUINESE ,SUGAR MILLET. Dr. CLoU-Dear Sir:-It is almost useless now to say anything more about this plant, in regard to its qualities for yielding syr:.p and;, sugar, besides several other articles. It has now been fairly tried all over the South ; and though it may not have come up to so great a yield of syrup as was claimed for it, still it stood its trial gloriously. The "Sugar Millet" most unquestionably forms an epoch in the farming of the Southern States. The sugar growing section, hitherto not extending much north of the latitude of New Orleans, has now been enlarged with sev- I eral degrees further towards the North. The possibility for every planter of inaking his own syrup is certainly a matter of great importance. It is truly amusing, that some persons are still so far " behind time" as to cosider this plant identical with the old fashioned " Chicken Corn." Why, the mere chewing of a piece of the stalk would be sufficient to convince even "Zach. Boss" of the great difference. But, on the other hand, its value as a forage plant ought not to be overlooked; for, as such, it is unquestionably inferior to none. Many a person will perhaps think that I am praising it too highly, but I feel confident that this plant is not yet appreciated half as much as it de serves. In cutting it for syrup, a great fault is com mitted in cutting it befJre it is Choroughly ma tured. By all means let the seed be dead-ripe before the cane is cut for the mill. By cutting it before that period, you will get a larger quantity of juice, but it will be watery, require imore boiling, shrink more, and make an inferior syrup. There is no necessity for, nor advan tage in stripping ol' the leaves, or pinching ofl the seed-panicle!. be4fore the seed is thoroughly ripe. This operatit:I w.'ld only cause them to throw out suckers, whi,'i would he an ,njm.y to the cane. In boiling the juice it i6 -f great importance to strain it well, and to have the kettle well filled. The whole mass will bi.imer much bet ter than if the boiler is only hat fill, and not be so apt to boil over. It should not be stirred at all, until a thick brownish cust h:u gathered over the whole surface, when this crust should be removed, and the liquid strained into the second boiler, and so on, until it gets its proper consistenev. The quistion lia been iade: " How to keop the canes until Fall ?" In reply I would say, that there is no diflicultv in it. Any barn or any shed will answer; let the canes be tho roughly matured and place them on the ground floor in a layer, say 12 to 15 inches thick. Put another layer of canes of similar thickness on the top of the first, but crossway, and so on. Cover the whole pile ; the best material for it is baggasse, or refuse canes which have passed through the mill. In this way the canes will keep a very long time in excellent condition, and when taken out for grinding, it will be found that many of the watery parts have evaporated, but that the juice is much richer, and will yield a very superior article of syrup. While it will reluire about seven gallons of juice from fresh 'canes to produce a gallon of good syrup, that same quantity, and of better quality, can be made from four to five gallons of juice pressed from canes which have been preserved in this way for some weeks. The saccharine principle will not evaporate; on the contrary, the cane seems to improve in flavor by being up in .this way for somne time ; similar to the process which apples are under going by being kept for soiie time. I will now say a few words about the Sugar Millet, as a forage plant. The saving of corn is a most im portant matter, particularly when prices are so high, as has now been the case for several years. When planted early in April, and on good, high sandy land, this millet will, by the begin ning of July, have matured its canes sufficiently to serve as a substitute for corn in feeding stock. The nutritious qualities of the Sugar Canes are too well known to need any explanation. Even before the seed is perfectly ripe, the canes can be cut for this purpose. Let the whole, stalks, leaves and see l, be cut up in a common straw cutter, allowing ten or twelve good strong stalks to each working animal per twventy-four hours. Two commoii hands can easily, in fifteen nin utes, cut up stalks enough for twenty heads, and if a few handfuls of bran are scattered over the pale of cut forage as a tIavoring, so much the better. Working animals fed in this wamy, without any corn whatever, will not only keep, in good condition, but will actually improve. Let every planter calculate for himself, how much corn lie can save by feeding hiis.tock Iibuir months on the Sugar Millet ; a crop so easily raised, and whlichi stands oiii droughts so well, as to deserve to be termed werer-faing. Besides, the ruots will sprout out again vig orously, and in a few weeks prodluce a second crop. Planiting the beed1 in dIrills two byv thuree feet, thirty thouisand stalks are but a very faiir average yield, amnd thus the planter can easily calculate the number of acres he zmy need for his stock. The yield of seed is very dilfferent, according to the stand and the quality of the soil-say from thirty to sixty biushels to the acre, a bushel weighing fromu thirty-live to forty po~iunds. It is equally as good for. feedinig and fattening stock as the same weight of corn, if not more so. There can hardly beC any doubt, that the bag gasse, or refuse cane from the mill, would be an excellent material for brown paper, though it has not yet been tried, as far as I know. liut this will be enough in favor of the Sugar Millet for this time. Rtnoatr Nm:Lsos. Augusta, Ga., Oct. 1857 K.nimo Snms.-Ma. Earron: I saw ini your pap)er, not long since, a quier'y wvhether hogs had the rhieuimatism. You replied, you thought they miight have it, and I thought so too. I should not think it strange if nmany' of* themi had the cholera, the hip complaint, the black vomiit, and imany other diseases, treated as they are,-shut up in a little peii about six feet square, on a plank Iloor, tip to their knees in dirt, and no bed t) lie upon. A hog should never be kept on a lan1ik floor. I have had them ruinied by it, before 1 knew the cause. If they sleep on a plank floor, on straw, and that beconies wet, (often the-y will wet it themselves,) they will often becoiie lame, so they wvill crawl with there fore feet to the trough, and will make but a small amiount of pork. A hog should have a good tight, warm pen, on some dry place of ground, with a glass win dow that can be removed in the summer season, and a door that can be left open to admit fresh air. There should be no lblocr. Make it as large as you please. They need not go in the sun, it does them no good. If the pen gets dirty, just put in a cart load of manure, or chip dirt, or bog mud, (if it is dry,) and so you can clean your pen every week with a load of al most anything you can pick up. Your hog should be showered three times a week, at least. In hot weather clean water is best. I lhave iio opimon of soapsuds or butter milk. A little briinstone once a month is good. Follow this nmothod andI you will have no sick hogs. I have followed this plan for maany years, even to the letter, and always give them a bed to sleep on, and let the hens roost in the pen. LIs coLs. Edgecomib, 1857. [Maine fomr CHrAacoAL FoR SHEEP'.-One of the best medicines for human beings, is linely pulverized charcoal, keep corked in a closed vial or jar, one half a teaspoonful mixed with live timnes its bulk of water, fornuing an agreeable and ex celent remedy for almost aiiy kind of deranged stomach and in larger doses constituting a very mild and perfectly safe laxative. Theze is no doubt that the same remedy would often prove of great service to domestic animals. Although we have never seen it tried, we confidently predict that half a pint to a pint powered char coal, mixed with two to four quarts of water would prove an admirable remedy for hoven ini - cattle. We observed that a correspondent of a late paper has used charcoal mixed with salt for his sheep, with the best results ; he had founid4 them to suffer much on wet pastures, until he made use of this remedy, after which they iin medlataly nrananted amore healthful annearan... WHY DRAIN YOUR LIND! E Will it not taake the land too dry in Sum ner ? No idea is more common among farmers L than that drainage induces drouth. The great lifficultv with thern is, to get moisture enough in our hot, dry Sumniers. It seem's to then) a logical concluion that, if you take water out of land, it inust, of course, be drier, m a dry tille, than it would be if left in its natural .tate. But this idea is not well founded. In the matter of drainage, the Scripture idea of "giv lg without ilmpoiverishing" is literally fulfilled. 1 Drainage improves the mechanical condition of the soil for furnishing water to plants, and V greatly enlarges the pasture ground of the I oots. Put an under-drain, three or four feet deep, through a piece of wet, springy land, and tie " whole soil, for rods each side of the drain, be- P comes more loose and friable. The air is ad initted down into the soil to the point to which i the stagnant water recedes. The air always carrier moisture with it, and the cooler surlaces of the particles of soil with which it comes in contact, compel it to deposit the moisture. In the driest time in Summer, a deep-drained soil will give noisture enuogh to the roots that grow in it. A deep drained soil too, is warm enough for planting much earlier in Spring than in its natural state. Crops may be put in better sea son, and oftentimes two crops may be taken instead of one. The roots of plants can avail I themselves of all the riclness of the subsoil, as well as of the surface. The grasses and root crops, grains and fruits grow more luxuriantly and give better results. Drainage, we are glad 1 to know, is attracting attention anong our best cultivators. Its general introduction will form a new era in our husbandry.-N. Y. Times. VISY CLTVraa iN TE UNIrED S-rAT. Coniderable doubt seems to exist in certain quarters as to the success of the experiments a now making in various parts of the country inl the umanufacture of wine from native gralpes. The followinr extract from the News, published in Vevay, Indiana, which was settled by emi grants from the Swiss village if the same name, who were probably the first to introduce the grape culture in the West, states Fome of the ( causes of its failure: "We have always looked upon it as a settled fact that iny attempt to render general the culture of the vine would result in ruin to the party attempting it. Our seasons are too varia ble-one winter too cold-the next too open r and war-m--one summer is too dry an-I too hot -anoti.her is too wet. The truth is that haid i. ill the Ohio river valley is worth more mioney I per acre to raise grais and wheat, or corn, than i it is to raise grapes. We regard it a. settled i that any man who enters into the culture of tie vine, Without at capital like that of Mr. Longworth of Cincinnati. will be ruined in ten year.a. We are sure that the results of the chemical analysis will :how that all the money Mr. L. has ever made out of the vine culture, has been done by adulterating the juice of the grape and making a little go a good way. In support of our idea, we would refer to the ex perience of the vine was commenced, where at an early day large amounts of iioney wyere ex pended in the preparation of the ground, and planting grape vines. Now, there is not a far mer who Jams any vines who takes pains to do more than raise grapes enough for his family to eat, and to make enough to have a drink or two in tie -ot weather. Indeed, we mnay say that in the vicinity of Vevay, where the vine grow in was firstattenmpted in America, it has been abandoned and men are raising hay, wheat and corn."
