From Corn-Stalk Julce, The United States pays about 100,000,000 to forcign countries for sugar. \Withsoil cqually favorable for fts production, It has become a questlon of considerable fmportance how we are to so utilize it as tosave this amount of money. Mr. F. 8. Stewart, of Weatmoreland Lounty, Ta., a farmer, and a geutlewan of scientific ate talnments, clalms that Ite has discovered a process by which the juices of the corn-stalk can be easlly ond incxpensively ‘crystallizea. o hos been cxperimenting since 1873, hut with 1lttlo success, until about s year agro; since then ho claims, by repeated experiments, to have dewmonstrated ihe thorough prace ticability o! his discovery, and described the process as follows: The stalks are cut alter the ear bas arrlved ot an age sultable fur drying vr canaing, and are sent to an ordinary crashing mitl. After the pans have hieen heated toa temperature of 180 degrecs, the juice is poured fnto them, and o considerable amount ot lima sdded to make it atrongly alkaline, Alterit ias been drained off, and the precipie tated impurities removed, o lquid dioxide of sulphur s introduced in sulllcient quanti- ties to render the sirnp highly acidue lous. As tho hnpuritles ore precioit- ated they are removed, and more dioxide of sulphur added to keep the sirup in its acklulous condition untll it 18 reduced to the density neeessary to form sugar. It is then rlnml in acooler ‘and alluwed to crystallize, the dralo- ing belng perfornted by a centrifuzal machine or other inodern process, -Specimeos of theso sugars are on exlibition st the Agricul- tural Department in Washinglon. ‘The color of tho sugar is sald to be much better than that of the ordinary cane sugar. Consinissioner Le Duc belloves that sugar can be mauuinctured by this provess for a price not to_exceed two and o half conts a pound, and be hopes within six years to see tho entlre import trado In sugar ulmu eary and {n its stead a heavy export trade cstal fllhud with forclgn markets, I Is cer- tainly desirablo that thess expectutions may ho reallzed. At present there fs incrensed in- terest throughout the North and Nortnwest {n the cultivatlon of sorgo for sugar. While there Is undoubtedly sugar fu sorze sane, ft has yet been impossible to gmet it out In paylng ‘quantities. For this rcason most farmers _have been content with making sirup. In Minncsota thero fs great intcrest inavarlety of sorgo known as Early Awmber, which was introduced by Messts. C. F. Milier, of Dundas, Minn., and 8éth H. Kennoy, of Mor ristown. Some yearsago Mr. Miller obtalued 1n Jowa asced which was planted in Missourl, After two or three years' trial fo Missouri rome of this sccd was planted in Minncsuta, whero the more favorable couditiom for growth arc vrlleved to have developed a superlor cane, The chfinge of cllmnte, ate., scemns to have had upon this cane smuch the snme offect that it ko upon man. Theso gentlomen have mado sugar for years ju conaiderable quantities, and clatin that the sirup granalates more readily than withany other cane, Tho loterest s so futense and wido. spread that sorgo conventlons have been held, and at all tho fairs premiuina have boen ofered for the best exiblt. ‘The most_valuable and rellable varicties of cane nre eald to be the Liberian, regular sorgo, and’ Oumsccana, A few years ugo the regular sorzo tyrined the principal canc-crup of the country, but It bas ol late detertorutea in quan- tity and guatity, The Liberisn s sald tobe a heavy producer, Jts sirup was at first conslder- cd inferior to that of surgo, but it bas lnproved with each successive vrop, and now ylolds not only tho largest smount, but the best, 1t is freo from dlsensc, and_ has never been afected by mildew, rust, or blight of anv kind.
