Chinese Sugar Cano, as a Syrup crop may still be plan ied, and should bo put it extensively, Pe heretofore directed. it will surpass common corn in yield on the same hand, and properly appro. ciated and managed, isone of our great resources. A great many seem disposed to give up Sorghum culture, but it is a mistaken policy. The prices of cano sugar and molasses are so high at present, and likely to continue so, that it will be fmind sotind economy to continue to nanufac. turo enouoh syrup for home use.

Ifr very hot, the moro delicte plants may be shaded with shingles. A handfuil of pino Straw or Similar "nn1ideb.01" may be dropped lightly on each plant, before the sui becomes scorching the next day. TfhorLt. of good "draws," you may extend your crop of sweet po-atoos, by wsiiig cut-vines from your earliest plantings of the tubers. Insert the root deeply in the ground, press the earth about it, and draw fine earth abott the ste.1, so as to cover all. but the roos.

PiluvrAw GUANo IN CONTACT WITH 8twa.----diors Southemt Oudtivator : I was surprised to see from an inquiry mn your March No., that the long explo. dod notion had revived, that it is utnsafe to apply unmixed Peruvian Guano in immediate contact withu seeds. Lot me stay, thtat our wheat growers who use theo drill, have been in the constant practico for many years of putting in Gjunno atnd seed by the saumo Operation, and that I have practiced rollitng seed mn the biest Guano, as much as would adhere to it wvhien moistened, withouit the least. fear of harm. Tlhere is no risk at all in the use of any ordinary quantity applied in direct contact with the seed. Oneo of the chief advantages of this Gu. ano, is in my opinion, the vigor And impetus it. gives to plants5 in the earliest stages of growth. Very respectfully yours, N. B3.

The whtole ptatch was then covered with dry wheat staw spread lightly' atnd ovenlywith a pitch fork, to the dnpth of' about two feet. Several shower occurredi SOont n t' the rototoes wore planted, which settledl the straw considerably and in due time the vines came tip throngh the straw, and soon covered the entire stirfaco with the rankest vegetation.
