CHINESE 8 UGAR CANE.
We have received a small pamphlet, pub
lished by Mr. Win. Glaze, of Columbia, S.
C. giving an account of experiment and
observation, upon the Chinese Sugar Cane.
The first part comprises experiment anJ
observations, mule with a view of determin
ing it value aa a sugar producing plant, by
Joseph Lovering, of Oakhill. Pennsylvania.
From seven experiments, which are stated
minutely, he makes the following inferences:
1. That it is obvious that there is a culmi
nating point in the development of the su
gar in the cane, which is the best time for
sugar making. This point or season I consider
to be, tthen most if not all the seeds are ripe,
and after several frosts say when the tern
peratnre falls to 23" or 30 Fereiuheit.
2. That frost, or even hard freezing, does
not injure the juice nor the sugar ; but that
warm Indian summer weather, after the frost
and hard freezing, does injure them very
materially, and reduces both quantity ami
quality.
3. That if the rane is cut and housed, or
shocked in the field when in its most favora
ble tnnditi.nl, it will probably keep unchang-
a( foe a onz tune
4. That when the juice is obtained, the pro
cess should proceed continuously and with
out delay,
3. That the clarification should be as per
fect s possible by lh,: time the density
reaches 15 Iteaunic, the syrup having the
appearance of good brandy.
ti. That although egs were used in these,
small experiments, on account nf their con
venience, bullock' blood, if t.l be had, is
equally goo I ; and the milk of lime alone will
answer the purpose ; in the latter rase, how
ever, more totiMant ami prolonged skimming
will be required tu produce a perfect clarifl-
. cation, which is highly important.
, . I hat the concentration, or boiling ilown,
after clarification, should be as rapid a pos
sible without scurchms shallow evaporators

I con.plisl.cd aftei half a day's coaxing," and
the utter demolition nf the patience of the
trainer. This individual, thoroughly exas
perated, initiated the mettlesome animal into
the virtues of a black whip. His efforts at
resistance were terrific ; he kicked and plung
ed, and made fearful lunges at his executioner;
he was in the moat intense state of the excite
ment; the neck vems became gorged with
blood, and his eyes were projected far from
their sockets. So ungovernable did he be
come, and so much was his indignation
aroused by this surprising treatment, that
alter a period of a week had elasped, the
opening of the stable door where he was con
Gnetl was the signal for a continuation of the
kicking and struggles which marked the day of
his introduction to society. At the present
time this colt is the most furious and vicious
quadruped I ever saw, which is entirely attri
butable tu the brutal flogging he received
when it was unmerited, ami before he could
understand its objects. Thus the superior
intelligence which might have been cultiva
ted into pre-eminent virtues, was turned in
to a channel for the fostering and develop
ment of his baser proclivities.
In breaking a colt, we should first endea
vor to make him conscious of what it re
quired nl htm. Fettering him with a halter
for the first time, placing the saddle upon his
back, fastening the girths, are al! matters of
paramount importance, demanding the great
est degree o( patience, perseverance, and an
intuitive knowledge of his idiosyncrucie.
Before putting a halter upon a colt, he inuft
be rendered familiar with it by caressiiii; him
and permitting him tu examine the article
will) his nose. Then place a portion of it
over his head, occasionally giving it a slight
pull, and in a few minutes he will be accus
tomed to these liberties, and then the halter
may be fastened on properly. To teach him
to lead is another ililficulty. Stand a little
on one side, rub his nose and forehead, take
hold of the strap and pull gently, at the same
time touch linn very lightly with the end of
a long whip across his hind legs. This will
make hi in start ami advance a few step.
Repeat the operation several times, and he
will soon learn to folio you by simply pull
ing the halter. The process of saddling and
bridling is similar. Die mouth of the colt
should be frequently handled, after which '
introduce a plain snaflle between his teeth;
and hold it there with one hand and caress'
him with the other. Alter a time he will al-1
low the bridle to be placed upon him. The talk so for? returned the wife, a seet lit
saddle can now be brought in and rubbed; tie woman, full of be-uty an I grace,

next hang the stirrup strap across his back, i
and gradually insinuate the saddle into it

they can be gradually decreased nt the rate

Sometimes it is necessary to repeat the opera

to increase his stride, buckle a strap around
each forearm. This plan is practiced by per

" I hm going tn spend as much money
as I ran," she replied.
" That is r ght, Maria, do," added the reck
less hu-band.
And Edward soon had reason to repent this
advice, for Maria now seemed to spend all
her spare time in asking him lor money.
lie was tun reckless, too magnanimous to
deny her, or tu suggest that she was exceed
ing the bounds of reason.
She was merciless in her drafts upon him.
ami to supply Iter demands, fur he had Hot
the courage to refuse her modest request,
he Wiis obliged to curtail his own private ex
panses. On several occasions he had been
obliged to borrow money to meet her requi--imiintipmi
his purse; and being an hottest
man he li.nl to cut oil' many luxuries in or
iler to pay these loans. .
What had gut into Maria r She was ex
travujrint ; and yet she did not seem tu be
dresKed much better, or his house tu be sup
plied uitii tinny additional luxuries. Hut
lie was too proud tu complain, lie did hint,
hut she would not lake a hint.
A ve tr passed bv, and there was no im-
; pruvement in the reckless woman. Fortu
juatelv for him his salarv was raised to two
thousand, but it was scarcely done before
Maria demanded a fifty dollar bill.
" Vou spend more money than you used
to spend, Maria," he suggested.
" What is the use fur me tu pinch my-
jsell, it you spend, all you get." sintleu Jla
jria, so sweetly, he could not say another
I word. " 1 want to have the gond of the nio
jney while it is going, as well as vou."
" All right, my dear," he replied.
There was. no improvement in the woman,
and Edward had some d itibts as to the con
sequences ; but what puzzled him must wa
tu know what became of the money.
Another year passed by, anJ the danger
of running in debt stared him in the face.
