The experiments i n the mai ufnctiirc of syrup have been very satisfactory and the sanguine aro disposed to think that tl nlnnt is destined to eflftvt nn ncrionlliirnl rpvt lution. It lias not yet been determined wlietlu n good quality of sugar cnn be manufacture from the juice ; but there is no doubt but thi it furnishes a superior svrup, and that its leavi and staTks afford the very best food for catt] ?tt.c yield also is very great, and on acrc mo be mode to produce very easily from ?j0 t $100 worth of syrup or provender. No on we believe, contends that it will over enter int competition with the West India Cane, in fui niehiug an article for export, but for home cor sumption, it will be invaluable. "We have upon our table a bottle of syru manufactured by Mr. Jcffersou Douglass of 01 vicinity, which is equal to the best XewOrleoj molasses ; and we liovc lately tasted some cipio ly good, mode by Mr. A.

One acre of land that will mat fifteen bushels of corn will yield in Cliinet Sugar Cane 17,500 pounds of provender, a", eraging the cane, after it is cured, at only on pound each ; then, at only fifty cents per hur dred, it is eighty-seven dollars and fifty cenl per acre.
