 tivity as «ell ;is Inisiness. The heys came moun- 

 ted oil their linest horses, in ma^niliceiit uni-

 Paslia, Ih^y were reipiesled to parade in llie court 

 of the ciiadel. They entered the Ibrtiticaiion

To M.\KE Cream Cheese. — Take of the top 

 or surface cream that has heen collected three or 

 four days in the cieaiii-crock ko aa to be slightly 



Corn Stalk Sugar. 



The following article on this suhjecl, is taken 

 from the rioniliern Cultivator: 



" Willi re^'anl to the cullnre, it is stated lliat 

 Corn should he plaiiteil tis Ijioom-corn is com- 

 monly plaiilcd, very close in the row, prohahly a 

 stalk every three or four inches. The tillage will 

 he the same as liir IJromn-corn. When the young 

 ears begin to appear, it is necessary to pluck iheiu 

 oft" carelully, ami to leap the gathering as olien 

 as necessary, so as to prevent the furinalion of ani/ 

 grain; because, if grain he allowed lo foi m, it 

 lakes all the sugar from the stalk. About the 

 lime the com begins to harden, the making ol 

 Su:;ar should he begun. 



"It is not necessary to .say anything about a 

 proper mill to crush the stalks and separ.-ite the 

 jnii'e, because mills of the cheapest kinds only 

 slioiihl be employed now, until the business would 

 fully vvarralit an expensive outlay. U would 

 probably be liiiind that Ihe coiumon cider mill, 

 \<iili plain cylindrical mils, would be rpiile siilii- 

 cient (or the liirmer who would raise a liiurth or 

 half an acre of Corn tor Sugar, for his family, 

 and this (pianliiy would he quite sufficient for 

 satisfactory e\periiiieiit. 



" When the juice is separated from the stalk, 

 about a tahlespnon full of vvhitewasb, made of 

 the best quick time, and about the consistence of 

 thick i-reain, should be added to each gallon of 

 the juice, and iheii llie boilingshould commence. 

 The si-nm that rises should be careiiilly removed ; 

 and the juice ; if this process has been properly 

 coiiilucied, will he qnile clear, nearly colorless. 

 Then coinuiences the process of evaporation ; 

 and when the juice has boih^il dou li in about llie 

 proportion uf eight gallons to one, the boiling 

 will be completed, and it may be pouretl out in- 

 to a shallow light wooden box lo. grain. 



" It h;is heen ascerlaiued, aliliuiigli as yet llu: 

 reason is not known, that if the juice be boiled 

 in II deep vessel, like the common cooking ves- 

 sel, sugar will seldom be obtained ; while, if it 

 be tloiie in a shallow vessel, so ihat the juice ;it 

 the coimneiicement of Ibe boiling shall not be 

 more than three lo live inches deep, sugar woulil 

 be obtained without difficulty. It has been ascer- 

 tained, also, lhat the sugar from Com will not 

 grain so reaililyas that from the sugarcane; and 

 ill some instances, it has remained more than a 

 week idler the boiling, before the sugar was form- 

 ed, anil jet cxitelh'Ul sugar was made. 



"Jtshoiihl be parliiHilarly reinembered, that 

 ihe juice should be boiled as soon as separated 

 from the stalk. It becomes acid very soon, and 

 no Sugar can be made if ihe juice be allov\ed to 

 stand two or three hours belbre it is boiled. 'J'be 

 juice will even spoil in the stalk before it is ground 

 if the stalks I.e cut oft' a few iionrs before grind- 

 ing. It is nct'essary, then, that every part of the 

 process slionhl be done with the greatest despatch. 

 The slalks should be hruiighl to the mill as somi 

 as cut, and giound immediately. The vessel lor 

 boiling ought lo be properly tilled in two hours 

 grinding, and the process of boding down should 

 immediately commence, and be coniiiiued until 

 completed. 



" Hxcellent Syrup, superior to the best Molas- 

 ses, will he obiained by observing ihe tibove di- 

 rections, and boiling live gallons of juice lo one 

 gallon. 



"The juice of the Corn-stalk is very rich in 

 Susar, when cultivated in the manner suggested. 

 Tesled by ISeaume's Sacharomeler, the iiislru- 

 melit used to measure the slienglh of syrups, the 

 juice of Corn-slalk weighs 10 to ]0i degrees, 

 which is abiuit the weight of the bestcaiie in the 

 West Indies, and is richer than the juice of the 

 cane in Louisiana, which is seldom heavier than 

 8-i degrees. 



" One ;;allon of juice will produce nearly l.l 

 pounds of Sugar ; and one acre of good Corn 

 will J ield, if carefully expressed, Irotu 700 to 1000 

 gallons of juice." 



I have hut little informaiion loadd to ihe above 

 artii'le. My ketlle holds eighiy gallons, though 

 a sixly gallon keelle might aiisvM-r the purpose, 

 but probably it wniilil be bi'sl lo procure ;i shal- 

 low vessel, as aliovt! recoiiimetidi'd (or making 

 Sugar. 1 niaiie ihrce boiling's In-liire I made good 

 sjrtip, not boiling down siiHicieutly ihe two hist 

 boilings. Prepare yomselt vviih a skiinmer, a 

 gonnl with a long haii<llc will do lo remove ilia 

 scum when it begins to boil, anil Ibr a short lime 

 after. Leave oft' skimming when yon see the 

 d.-iik gbitiiious scum is pretty well removed. Al- 

 so, prepare ytMirsell with an iron ladle, wiili an 

 iron haiiille atlacbcd 'o it about three feel long, 

 (which any blacksmith can make,) perfiirated wiili 

 small boles. Whoever attends the kettle innst 

 use: this ladle, in raising the juice wiih it, when 

 likidy lo boil over. When the juice boils down 

 considerably, you will see the liiibbles begin to 

 show and burst on the surliice. When yon see 

 a lijw such hiibbhs, if it he \oiir object to make 

 syrnp, i think then is the time to take it out ; but 

 if jou wish the .'^yruj) to gi anulate, boil till the 

 bubbles become general on the surface. You can 

 also y.gt it, by dipping out some syrup with u 

 lablesj.oon, and when it cools sufjicienlly, hy la- 

 king it betweeii your Ihumhand lore finger; and 

 if it inclines lo i ope, it is syru|), liul if it will rope 

 aiaiiil an inch it will jjraiiulatc. Voil can boil 

 rapidly at the coinmeuceiiiiMit while the juice is 

 thill, hut as it thickens boil vvilb more modera- 

 tion. If yon boil too rapidly alter the bubbles 



bci^in to lini>t on the surliice, you will certainly 

 bum il, and it will give it a candy taste. Throw 

 in the w hiiewash made liom the lime, iminedi.ile- 

 Iv alier you quit removing ihe gluiinons scum. — ■ 

 When Mill have boiled lo satisfy yourself, l.'ike 

 out the syrnp and put it in some shallow vessels 

 lo cnol. 1 iiiii inclined to think, will) the juice 

 has been extracted from the slalks by a wood mill, 

 that if they were chopped up .■ind hoileil in wa- 

 ter, good vinegar cmild be made from them. 



From liie N, E. Farmer. 

 Renovation of J'asturcs. 

 From the manner in which some farmers — anil 

 ihey are not (<;w — treat their pasture grounds, 

 one might suppose they considered such laml 

 eiiilowed wilh peculiar propel lies — with a recii- 

 perativi? ot .^idf-iiiiew iiig power, which enabled 

 il to suslaiii ilself and piodnce its yeaily jieid 

 wilhoul diuiinmion. But even when these fields 

 begin to show hy .-eemingly iinmislakeable si;;ii3 

 that they nceii renovalioii, the owner not unfre- 

 cpienily seems to di;eni it ini'xpedient to ;;ive 

 llieni any asjistance to recover their lost strength, 

 and keeps them pastures still ; though his stoi-k, 

 which they are reijuireil to suji|iori, in a great 

 uie;isnre in summer, have lo keep in diligent and 

 active exercise their locomoiive and grazing lai'- 

 idiies to get a daily siqiply of food from them, 

 and come short aller all. 



The judicious ami energetic (itrmer pursues a 

 diflerent course, and iimls his interest piorucled 

 by il. 



When be sees his pastures are failing, he im- 

 mediately ploughs them up, dresses the laud as 

 he can alKird, [ilants and Iheii seeds down again ; 

 seeds iiiiinediately afier prcp.iring the land in 

 August or September. It cannot be disputed 

 that this is wise and proSi.ible husbandry. 



One ohjeciion souicliines lUfied by llirmers to 

 breaking up their pasture grounds, that they liave 

 not material lo dress ilieiii wilh, may, in some 

 c;ises, be well foniideil ; but more olien, we think, 

 it is not. It is as geueraliy true in maiiure-get- 

 liiig as in .-my other eiilerprises, that ''where 

 there is a will, there is a way." ll| however, the 

 alternative were left us, either lo permit a pasture 

 to remain in a poor condition, yii'liliug a poor pro- 

 duct, or to break it and new seed il without hav- 

 ing any manure to apply to it, we should not hes- 

 itate Id adopt the latter measure; for by plough- 

 ing in the fall, and tinning the iiirrows flat, we 

 should expect some degree of advanlage 111 im- 

 proving the ground from the influence of snow 

 and (i list, ;ind the ilecay iiig sod would be of some 

 benefit to the next crop. But, i'cw farmers, we 

 imagine, can be so poorly oft' for manure, or llie 

 means of making mannic, as to be forced to 

 adopt bUi-li a course as this. 



It is one thing to give advice to others, but a 

 very difterent thing to put that advice in praciire, 

 if you were circumstanced as they are, may he 

 the observation of some one. Well, we reply
