SORGHIBI. 



are enabled to grow their cane and deliver it to the mill absolutely free 

 of all cost, so that the only expense of attending their production of 

 sugar and syrup is that of manufacture. 



Gratifying as is this result to those Avho desire to see the success of 

 this new sugar industry, it can not be surprising to any one who will 

 consider that our chief consumption of corn is for the fattening of 

 swine, and that it is so used profitably needs no argument to prove. 

 If, then, tlie seed of sorghum, equally abundant and equally nutri- 

 tious, may be substituted for corn, the stalks of sorghum, like those 

 of maize, may be regarded as being produced free of cost. Also, by 

 means of such use of the seed and bagasse, fertilizing material is secured.
