The third annual report of the present Commissioner of Agriculture is now at hand. It is of the nature of a preliminary survey of what was done last year, and merely gives a glimpse of the more exhaustive report, which will be issued later in the season. Its value and interest are not surpassed by any previous report, for it covers a period which has marked a new era in American Agriculture, and has given a renewed impetus to horticultural investigations. The experiments now fairly inaugurated by the Department, will it is hoped, lead to important results in the near future. The Commissioner says, in the course of his remarks on the manufacture of sugar from sorghum and corn, that the success which has attended this new industry in the Western States is wonderful, and the importance and significance of this now established industry cannot be overestimated. During the past season sugar of good quality has been made in the west, from Texas to northern Minnesota. The variety of sorghum preferred is the Minnesota Early Amber syrup weighing 12 lbs to the gallon, half of which was crystallizable. Cane sugar has been made by farmers at an expense of only 163 cents per gallon. With larger mills, which need not cost more than $1,ooo, sugar and syrup have been made and sold by the car-load. If sorghum culture is coming to the front as a national industry, the farmers of California ought to come in for their share of the profits. Heretofore the problems have been of a mechanical nature, and the machinery now used appears to obviate the former difficulties. Up to 1877 all attempts to profitably produce a marketable sugar from sorghum failed ignominiously. But now, as the Commissioner remarks, it "has been finally and practically proved that one of the most important, expensive and indispensable requisites of modern life can be profitably grown, where heretofore it was supposed not possible to produce it." Sugar-beet culture is not looked upon as a success in Illinois and Wisconsin, and this report includes California in the list of comparative failures. Now let us see what the extent of the market is. Of maple sugar, the product of the United States is less than 25,ooo,ooo lbs; of cane sugar, produced only in a narrow belt along the Gulf, the yield last year was 25o,ooo,ooo lbs. But these yields combined, fell far below our needs. In 1879 the United States imported 1,741,65o lbs of sugar from abroad, and while the maple sugar interest is failing, the tropical cane sugar production of the Southern States increases but slowly. At present the people of the United States consume 4o lbs per annum. The English people annually consume 6o lbs apiece and if by home production and lower prices we could bring our consumption up to the same point, our 5o,ooo,ooo people would use 3,ooo,ooo,ooo lbs per annum. At ten cents, which is the late war sorghum syrup was largely in the South. Attempts were made in places to granulate the juice, but thecess attained was not such as to warrant their efforts, and sorghum raising was pursued for the syrup. In 1877 the ocal division of the Agricultural Deparment took up the work, and pursued it tait until the present time. In the past months they have made 274 analyses sugar-yielding plants, and thirty-three periments in sugar making. The farmers of this State cannot but an interest in some of the results of these analyses. Four varieties of sorghum were used: early amber, white Librine Chinese, Honduras; also, Pearl Millet. The early Amber gives from 34 to 39 cent. of juice, and from 14 to 17 per cent sucrose; the Chinese yields from 6 to per cent sucrose; the white Liberian from 13 to 15 per cent sucrose; and highest report of the Honduras is 15.1 cent. Pearl Millet gives 11.3o per cent sucrose. The amount of sucrose is attainable when plant is at full maturity. Sorghum sugar making is planted in rows three apart, and 18 inches apart in the center with ordinary corn stalks of coarse-grown white field corn varieties, tested after corn had ripened and had been gathered while the stalks were yet juicy, the amount of syrup was 1,166 pounds per acre. Surprising result leads the Department declare that the value of the cornfieldthe West will yet be doubled by theization of the corn juices for sugar,and fair conclusion from their experiment that there is little difference between different sorghums, and that the juice each is nearly as rich, if taken at the ptime, as is that of the best tropical cane grown in the South.-S.F.Bullet.

Ladies with children are earnestly requested to attend the day entertainments. The first sorghum grown was in 1856, from seed sent out by the Agricultural Department. The following year 16 varieties of American Imphee were imported. During necessary will be sold at public auction at the head, killing him instantly.

Attempts were made in many granulate the juice, but the sucrose was not such as to warrant furts, and sorghum raising was only for the syrup. In 1877 the chemist of the Agricultural Department worked, and pursued it faithfully present time. In the past six they have made 274 analyses of holding plants, and thirty-three ex-works in sugar making. Farmers of this State cannot but feel that in some of the results of these experiments, four varieties of sorghum can be used: early amber, white Liberian, Honduras; also, the Pearl Millet. Amber gives from 34 to 33 per juice, and from 14 to 17 per cent. of the Chinese yields from 6 to 13.90 sucrose; the white Liberian yields to 15 per cent. sucrose; and the export of the Honduras is 15.10 per Pearl Millet gives 11.30 per cent. Louisiana Ribbon cane yields from 12.50 per cent. of sucrose. The largest of sucrose is attainable when the fruit full maturity. Sorghum, for making, is planted in rows three feet and 18 inches apart in the rows. Primary corn stalks of coarse-growing corn varieties, tested after the ripened and had been gathered, but stalks were yet juicy, the yield was 1,166 pounds per acre. This result leads the Department to that the value of the cornfields will yet be doubled by the utilise the corn juices for sugar, and the fusion from their experiments is, there is little difference between the sorghums, and that the juice of early as rich, if taken at the proper rate, that of the best tropical sugar in the South.—S.
