The Culture of Miniwsvtu Amber Cane . IY KUI.U. In * recent number of 'I'm: Ex am in kk 1 nuiicc un article on tiie adulteration of sugar unci kindred comihoditlw. Sugar-making is becoming u subject of general interest j and the fuel that it 1h almost impossible to get uioIhsmvi which has the most distant relationship to sugar-cane has driven farmers to experiment with Amber Cane. An experiment wuh tried on our own farm which may bo of interest to those . who contemplate the culture ot cane during the coming summer* The ground was prepared (ho sumo us for ! corn, allowing it fifteen loads of stable manure to the acre. The seed was planted May 20tb, with one of Emory's seed drills. The rows were about three leal apart. It was cultivated throe times uWh u Borne, and hoed twice by hund. Wherever < plants had been killed out they were • rvplucod. The plants bore transplanting well, ami alter n few weeks one ! could tell where it had been done. When the plant* woro one foot high ! they were left to themselves, und the j growth was xo vigorous that weeds hud ! no chance. The ground produced 50,960 pounds of cano to the acre. After stripping, there woro 42,400 pounds of cane ready for the pros.* and 14,560 pounds of loaves und seed, the latter being excellent food for cattlo or hogs. There was no sugar-mill within ranch, so only q small portion of tho cane was manufactured. An old sugar-crusher, j which had boon used by a merchant- i friend in tho days of raw sugar, wins used to express the juice from 2.45 pound* of stripped cunc, the product of one square rod of laud. This juice, when boiled down, produced two gallons of excellent syrup, weighing eleven pounds, iivo and one-hull' ounce* per gallon. The sap was strained as soon as pressod, and boiled down in an j iron kettle on the kitchen stove. The j scum which niose was removed with a ! common skimmer, and this was the j only means bv which it was clarified. v * 1 mention those details to show by , what homely mean* good results were obtained. Somo sugar was made by reducing the sap to thirteen and one-half pounds to the gallon, and then setting it in u j warm place to granulate. The temperature should not bo lower than 8(T nor above 120°. When the syrup seemed full of sugar grains, it whs put in a muslin bag, und the syrup was pressed out with a small hand-press. To improvo the color of tho sugar, one-tenth of its weight of pure water was mixed with the sugar and it was again pressed. The result, when dried, whs a good article of yellow sugar, pleasant to the

taste and having perfect crystals like ! 1 granulated sugar. As a fodder plant the Amber Cane is j of groat vnluo to fanners. If cut in ; August it will produce a second crop. ; Cattle and horses eat it readily, reject- j ing only the hard canes ; but pigs ent I it all and thrive upon it, so that tho I crop will pay for tho euro bestowed up- j on it, or on though circumstances should ; prevent its being manufactured into j syrup or sugar. It is estimated that about eighty per i cent, of the sugar used during tho year lSTy was raised on foreign soil. This is I not us it should bo ; and it lies with | the farmers of tho North, as well as \ those of the South, to decide whether it j shall be so in tho future. A e«*w industry will become to East- | cm larnior.*, r.incu they can no longer j raise grain in competition .with the j great West. Shall it bo tho culture ! nod manufacture of the Minnesota Amber Cunc? The Manure Heap. '•7 WIXJBRINO STARI.H MAM'f.JC. Somo contend that in order to pre ■erte its fertilizing salts, staVle manure should bo covered by a roof. If it be pure and without litter of any kind, it is undoubtedly best to have it well sheltered from sun, wind, rain, and enow • but if, on tho contrary, tho manure abounds with litter, or it is composted with sod. muck or pent, shelter over it is injurious rattier than beneficial : for the outside elements nvc» just < u what it requires to assist in n more rap. id decomposition and finer pulverisation, which bettor fit it for application to spring crojto. Rain find snow eon tain move or less ammonia, according to tho season and tho frequency of tin; full of tluun ; ond these, saturating tho manure, add considerably to its fertility in tho course of a few month*. A* I have neither sod. pent, imr itiuok, but plenty of course marsh bay mid straw, 1 uso these lavishly for Htuhlo budding. In addition i also una them in making up manure heap*, in tho following manner ; Make a bed of ono or both of t .e-e a foot thick, on the open ground where most convenient, and daily spread rill the stable manure over this bed till it is about four inches thick ; then put on the next layer of straw or bay only *i.\ inches thick, and over this s layer of only three inches of manure, and thus proceed fill the heap i* as high as is wanted, finally with a lay#?.' of six inches of pure inn n urn without i I

litter in it. This lost i b ncc© #**ry to top the heap, in order to make it rot equally in a abort time from top to bottom. J uHuulJy make the heaps about five fuct high, and thdy soon settle down to four lent, Lear 4* of trees may bo substituted ftr hay und struw when ( obtainable, if neither of the lutior can j bo hull.

Moro flesh and fat can he extracted from food of any kind when it in cooked. Some thing* are coin paraj lively valueless when fvd in uruw , but when cooked are excellent food uud i decidedly fattening in character. The j most remarkable of this cluas of food • are potatoes, which require to be cooked in order to bo digestible. When cooked, the starch in Iheio, the fattening portion, is readily assimilated in tho stomach ; but when - led raw it is | otherwise. Itnw potatoes are therefore i among the poorest kinds of fued for j»wine, out when cooked they are among the very best. The nutritive volue of j corn is klscf mftiriy doubled by being thoroughly cooked. When fed raw a ! considerable portion pH*sut> through tho I Htomuoh. especially if it is dry and hard, : without the least chemical cbnu^e and ] quite a percentage is not dig<wtod. Where corn is very cheap uud fuel and labor dear, it will pay best to feed raw, but where tho relation is otherwise and corn is high in price and fuel jmd labor cheap, it will always pay best to cook it. .Whether this important article of food should bo fed raw or cooked depends therefore upon circumstances which must govern every iarmcr, ruthor i than upon any arbitrary rule*. Next j | to cooking, grinding is the moat- im- j i portant condition in the preparation of j grain of any kind. wiaj^riM n 111 j - — Notice.

This means a great deal more than appears on the surface. It means that you are not going to get what I you will not want to keep at the price, if the merchant can help it. It means that the clothes you get there will be of honest cloths, honestly made; and that they will j cost you less than as good clothes can be got for elsewhere. It means that they will be every way better worth your money than you can get elsewhere for the same money. If it means anything less than these things — if it means poor cloths, trimmings, cutting, sewing, or in any Way dishonest or illiberal dealing ; the return of his goods will plague die merchant, injure his credit, and dissipate his trade. If it means these things — if it means liberal and honorable dealing, valuable and trusty clothing, ease and safety in getting it, Oak Hall is the place for you to go to, or to send to ; and it is worth your while to know how you can send, if it is inconvenient to go. Write ; say what your occupation is ; say what sort of use you intend to make of the clodies you want, whedier for every-day wear or ojJierwise ; what _ color you prefer, or what color to avoid ; say about what you want to pay ; say everything that you think may aid a stranger in choosing for you. You will get in reply samples of cloths and prices of whatever you want made from those cloths. You will get also the means of having your measure taken by an unskilful person. There is only one diffi-

culty left. Somebody has got to take die risks of the dealing ; for diere are risks. Send your money along with your order. That covers die risk as to your good faith. We risk everydiing else ; the fit, and j ] your satisfaction every way. Our trade by mail amounts to half a million dollars a year; diere's no reason why it shouldn't amount to five millions. . • ' ."•••• W mamaker & Brown. ■ \ i • Oak Hall, Sixth and Market streets, Philadelphia. — «r t- v -1— ; S.
