The Chinese Sugar Cane. General Directions. As the period for the maturing of the sorgho or Chinese sugar cane, is rapidlv ap 'prnaching, it u.av hot he uninteresting to ? 'porliofi of your readera lo have some view* ' on the manufacture of its ?< veral products "?sugar; sy rup, alcohol, vinegar and n beverage from the firmented juice annlogoyn " trv cider. . The information is de-ived prin ' cinall v from the reu-irts of Pn.f.v.,.. hoij, of flost<>n. Mars , and Professor Smith, of l*ouittville, Ky , in (he agricultural He 'pdVlbf the Patent Office Toi 1857,and ' partly front other nourrer, That the val 9 liable article* ahdve enumerated ran he pro 'duCed frorti the.sorgho there it* n?l a ahad ' ow of doitk', a id the quantity and excel lence of the product wall depend npon the Cure and alt ill with which the operation* 'are conducted ' It is a matter Of aotntr controversy nt what period of its growth thebaic Ik begins to contain aogar, and consequently w hen ita manofacture should comment#. M. Vil 'tnorin, of Paris, who hau givejt much atten lion to the subject, came to the conclusion that it coincided with the putting forth of the spikes. but the proportion of augar c>n tinned to increase until the seed* were in a milky, state ; nod according to the report of 'M. De. Benoregard, addressed to the Comir do Toulon, the ripening of the sorgho in that latitude had no unfavorable effect; and he conaidera the' seed* ?,i<t ?t? ?--.?? >? -no vu^nr HB two products to be conjointly attained. ,On .'the other hand, Mr.,Ur*v, enuully anthori tative, says that the Zouloue caftVwi'. to whose country the sorgho ia indigenous, sre id the habit of breaking off the panicles ^ the moment Ih?y appear,* in -order to nug* ment tlie quantity of saccharine matter in the sthlks. The question mar be of some importance in our section, and experiment*) ahould be mude for its accurate det< rminntisn. To aucreed well in making augnr. or ayrup of the first quality) ia eaaentinr that no greater quantity of thealalks ahould he cut tone time than can be properly pressed, and the juice boiled down to the granulating-point, on the aame day. I nm nw-are that a different opinion ha* been entertained and acted on, but I a in qlso aware that the result ef this action has heen the failure generally to mnke sugar at all, and the ma king ol a vert large quantity of ir.ferior *?. rup. Those -who hove n6t the means ftf pressing and boiling the juice of the enne* the same day they are Cut had better c>n fine their etf?rtn to making syrup, vinegar, ana alcohol, as their attempts at making augar oiuat result unsuccessfully and nn profitably. The canae of this is that as soon | as tf.e cane is cut, an ((Iteration commences almost immediately, which gradualv creeps from Die cut exlregiity into the iofnt-* of the stalk, decreasing the amoun' of crvatnli . zable sugar contained hi it. R en th-Hiro ken and bruised cpnes of n field will deter iorate the jui.e if passed through the mill with the perfect canes. ? The Toulouse caffres, when ihev have nu>re one cut than can be pressed expeditiously, burv the sitr 'plus in the ground te prevent it from the* effects of the atmosphere. * The Juice should be # pressed from the caoet a* thoroughly a* possible, even if it should be uereasary for this purpose tx> pass them repeatedly through the roller", as that portion which ia moat difficot to be ex pressed ia considered the richest in saccharine' matter. It is necessary to filter the juice ar it comes from the mill in order to remove the ceUuinaa and fibrous matters, and the starch, all of which is present in it ?h.rn expressed A bag Alter, or one nlnde of u blanket placed hi e basket will answer.
