Chinese Sugar Caiif.— What is Xccilrd. 

 We see au ariicle going the rounds pf 

 the papers, copied from the Kew York 

 Journal of Commerce, intcnOicd to dis- 

 courage the cultivation of the Chinese Su- 

 gar Cane. It admits that the Cane will 

 mature here, that it is useful for fodder, 

 that svrup has been made from its juice, 

 and also sugar in some cases; but it would 

 discourage the cuhivati<in under the idea 

 that it cannot be made a profitable crop. 

 Tfe are far from desirinsr our farmers 

 gensrallj to cultivate this cane, espec- 

 ially thoEC who have no kiiowledize of the 

 proper management of the mature crop, 

 and are without the apparatus necessarj 

 to secure fuccess. ]jut we believe that 

 the Chincjc Sugur Cane, as one of our 

 staples, p-o/iuts tvcll. Under all the 

 circumstances of the inc.vpcricnce of our 

 farmer?, their cuccess was vroudcrful last 

 fail. Many of them made a valuable 

 svrup, at loss tlian 2-3 cents per gallon, 

 that a'.iswers all the purposes of ordinary 

 have s(ic!i land f t y I'.r ortliar]. t" Le success- 1 molasscs. But to sccure the bcst rcsults,

once are required. What we want is some
