"tLe idle.Ambition her baubles pursue, Wbile'WIsdom looks down with disdain, The bome of the farmer has *harms ever new, Where health, peace and competence reign." CRESTER HOGS, O- a visit to Dr. TuOMAs LAxe, the oth, day, wo saw a pair of these invaluahlo pa. hers, which he has lately brought on frill. the North. Judging from this specimen w,. reel no-hesitancy in pronouncing them th best bacon hogs we have ever seen. The are the "w rhole hog," for the farmer, and % doubt not that every one, who is a judge ii. this matter, on Eeeing them, will concur wi' us in the opinion that they are the bacovn hog in perfection. In form, they much r< semble the Suffiolk breed, and while th. apparently take on fat as readily. they i> as large or larger than the Irish Graziet They have a fine coat of hair, are mn's active and industrious than the Sufflolks, ami in fine are just the kind of hogs that Sout, ern farmers need. As the Doctor expects to exhibit one of them at our coming District fair, our farme cin have an opportunity of judging f themselves. Those who wish to get ii' this improved stock of hogh, had better il. ply early, as we understand that a larg number of pigs are already engaged. .THE CROPS. The crops of corn throughout the Distrie we believe will fall short of a medium yiel-. Though ic many sections there are some fi". fields of corn, the drouth has cut short large portion of the acres planted, and it i now obvious, that though many of our In mers may make a bare sufficiency, thern will be many more that will either have t economise, or buy. Were it depending up,-i the present crop, it is also obvious that thee would be no sellers; but owing to the larg. amount of old corn on hand, we doubt m. that the needy will be supplied, but we fea that the price will be much higher than it ie at- present. The cotton crop has suffered very muc! within the past month, the drouth has canus it to shed much of the fruit and forms;t a'nd as it is now too late, to expect much fron. the latter crop of boles, a short crop ma.' be expected, at least, so far as we can leur' from many portions of our own District, ne well as from some portions of Abbeville Laurens and Newberry. CHINESE SUGAR CANE: We have respectedly called the attentioe. of our, readers Asays the Charleston Merco ry,) to the value of the Chinese Sugar Cate and have extensively distributed the seen' with which-we were turnished by the Agia cultural Bureau of the Patent Officee. V. are, therefore, greatly rejoiced to find that the articles has fallen into the hands of so seientific and careful an experimenter as Er.Gov. Hammond, who will be widely re cognised as one of the highest authorities n. Southern Agriculture. We copy below ai carefully considered report of his experi ments with the Chinese Sugar Cane, prepai. ed for an Agricultural Society in his own: neighborhood, and furnished for publication to the Barnwell Sentinel. It will commnenht Itself to the attention of the planters of tin State. There can be no doubt that the Su gar Millet is destined to prove an importanr addition to the resources and comforts ot the plantation; and we are glad to perceive. by an article which may be fo~und ini another column, that an abundant supply of seed has been secured in Washington city. REPORT Of an Experiment in making Syrup from the Chinese Sugar (.ane Corn or Sugar Millet, made to the - Beach Island Far mer's Club,'" August 2, 1856. A rule of this Club, requiring every menm ber to make and report, each year, an Ag ricultural experiment, I ie ill take this opapor tunity to acquit myself of that duty. One of our members-Mr. Redmond, of the~ Southern Cultivator--distributed among us, last winter, some seeds of what is conmon ly called Sugar Millet. lie very kindly gave me enough to plant half an acre about a pint. I prepared a plot of gro~und on a northern slope, of old, stifF and worn out lane, in such a manner and with so much manure as would probably have made it yield, with average seasons, about 20 hiushels of corn per acre. On the 22-i of Mlarch 1 planted the Millet geed in 3 reet drills, dropping every eighteen or twenty inches some six or eight seed. it wvas plongh ed and hoed often enough to keep the grass down, and about the 1st of July begun to head. The heat had then been unusually intense for two weeks, and has continued so up to the presenit time; and, latterly the drought has been very destructive I do not think this half acre would have yieldest five buabels had it been planted in corn. Having intended, howvever, to ascertama whether the :l.illet would make Syrup, I had a rude mill put up with two beech tt nod rollers. Finding that by the 22d of July the most advanced heads, had passed the milk staget. I had 1750 canes cut, that I supposed wtere~ a fair sample of the patch. Tlhe first 3 or 4 hundred were passed through the ni II twice, the remainded four times, anid the yield was 194 quarts of juice. H ut 10 canes that I selected and passed 7 times through the mill, yielded 3 quarts. Mr. Clark, o'ne of our-members, was present wvhen this t'as done. The juice was received in common tua and tested by a Thermometer, and a Sacchrometer with a scale of 40 degrees. The Thermonieter stood in every instance at 780. The 8. cchrome'er varied from 21j to 220. At the latter point the juice would *floats afresh egg. I boiled it in a deep. old fashioned co* pot, and, after 6 to 7 hours - i,'g ,obtiued 32 quarts of tolera~se -rup. *The next dag I selected 10 canes, the o bich were'fully matured, 104tnre ~1~W~It~ 10 more the head .of whieb wie Sufaly. teloped and the-top seed tutu bMaek, and again 10, corn. '~gI ibese stages, but from-: wichlI W d d i4 r ?bte sTtfWe' al 'iinSed through the mill seven times, and iclded nearly the same quantity of juice *hout three quarts for every ten canes. The uice, tested by the Sacchro., showed that he yonngest cane had rather, the most and he oldest rather the least sacch'arine matter. I'he whole together, with that of a few other Wod caneh, exhihited at 801 of the Ther. 4IJ of the Sacchro. From 42 pints of he juice I obtained, after four hours boiling. ne pints of rather better syrup than that Iiade the day before. In these lailings I nixed with the cold juice aboti a teaspoon full of lime-water of the consistency of -ream for every five gallons. These seleeted canes grew on the he-4 spots of the patch, and whete probably corn .ight have been produced the present sea -.n at the rate of 20 buelhels per acre. 'hey ,ere 1 inch in diameter, at the large,,t end, .,mkd 7J feet long after cutting off' the henad ,od a foot of the stem. After this I eut dowin all the inferior ca'e -ud cured it for forage. On the 28th of .lelv, two of the memobers if the Club (Dr. Bradford and AMr. H. La. *aar) being at my house, remained to see tie result of pressing and boiling 400 canes ihad cut and stripped. Each of us seleet. ed 10 canes, and put them through the press , times; the result being as before, about 3 piarts for every 10 canes. Buot even after ie pressure, juice could be wrong fromin tie canes by the hand, and we agreed that at ast one-lourth of it, and that the best. re .,linied in the cane-so iieffivient was my .dl. The rest of the cane , ordered should - pressed 6 times, but we did not ourselves -mliait ti see it done, nor did we count the 00 canes. The yield of the whole, how. -,el, was 37J quarts. With the Thermotne ter at 85Q in the juice, the Sacchrometer -iod at 2410; %e booiled the juice. until run together in the rim of the ladle and .mug iii a tratisparent sheet half an inch he. ,.i it before talling. And this in 2J hours. 11e result was 6 quarts of choice syrup m'ne next day I repeated the experiment on i larger scale, with equal success, and I ...te brought to the Club enough of the yrup to enable every, member to try it and 1dge of its quality. All who have tasted it gree that it is equal to the best that we get ..i New Orleans In these last boilings I .ut a tablespoonfull of lime-water, prepared i.- before, to every 10 gallons. The whole irocesz of clarilying and boilitg was caried anlugh in the same pot. and that very un. 4oitable from its depth. I measured the grain from a number of e-d-, and the result was an average of a ,l from each. I weighed a half peek of atured grain, after several days exposure the sun. It weighed 44 lbs., equal to 38 Is. per bushel. I weighed 20 of the best - me cut for forage, after it was cured suffi ently to house. They weighed 24 hia., qual to 30.000 lbs., for 25.000 canes, whici thitnk might be grown on land that would iake 26 hushels of corn with average sea -ons. I have tried horses, cattle, and bogs, nd find they eat the cane, its leaves and eed greedily, and fowls and pigeons the~ ast. I think, howvever, that when allowed in mature, the cane should he cut up fine r anitmals. as the outer coat is hard. I did not attempt to make sugar, tiot hay. ig prepared for that. There can, however, je no doubt that sugar can be made froni uch syrup as this. Anid, as they make nore sy rup in the Weat Indies per acre thana ieydo jo Louisiana, only because the cane unture, better, it is not unreasonable to im. er that the Millet, which mtutures here per. retly, and will even make two crops in one 'ear, will yield more aid better sugar than te Louisianna cane. Beginniang to cut the cane as soon as the ead is fully developed, it may be cut fo~r a moth before it will all ripen-how long ifter that I do not know. A succession ol irops niight be easily arranged so as to ini sure cutting and boilinsg from the 1st ol July -probably earlier-uatil frost. I have ioused some stalks immtediately from the field to ascertain, hereafter, whether thus treted, it will yield jue and make syrup next winter. A good Sugar Mill, with three wooden rollers, maty bie eaected for less thaan $25. and a Sugar Boiler that will make 30 gal 11ns1 of syrup per day, ma.i be purchased ii, ruusta foar less thnan 860. Thkis Mlillet will, of course, miix with any' ther van iety of the Millet fatmily planted near it. U nfoi tutnniely I1 planted Broom Corn about a hundred lards from mine, iand taill therefore have to procure seed else. where for the 10 acres I intend to plant nexi I have now stated the chief particulars of ~y experimnent. Every member of the Club, s competentl to draw his own conclusions t single expserimemt-esp:ecially one in ag iuue- is irirely conclusive. l may era myself anid might cause others to err aere I O xres, wit h any empiabis, the op~iion I at presenit entiertain or the value ol this re ently introduced plant. ,J.
