From the Cultivator.
SUGAR FROM INDIAN CORN.
When Col. Taylor, of Virginia, pronoun,
ceil Indian Corn to be “ meat, meal anil i
manure, he should have added, as he might |
in strict truth, it was also oil and sugar.— j
Wo have ourselves seen barrels of the pur
cst oil, for lamps and other uses, that was j
made from corn, and every one has been a- j
ware that molasses was another of its pro
ducts. A short time since we had before
the public an enquiry from the Hon. 11. L.
Ellsworth, of Washington, as to the mode
of making molasses, from a letter read at a
meeting of the New Castle, Delaware, Ag
ricultural Society, from William Webb,
Esq., of Wilmington, the process which has
been eminently successful, as the beautiful
samples of sugar as well as molasses, ex
hibited, clearly demonstrated. Mr. Webb
says :
“ The manner of raising the corn and ;
making the sugar, is as follows : The corn
is planted in rows 2-J feet apart, and the
stalks are left to stand in the rows 3 inches
from one another ; it is then cultivated in
the usual manner. Sometime in August,
or as soon as the stalk shows a disposition
to form grain, the ears must be taken off; i
this operation must be carefully attended j
to, as upon it entirely depends success. —
After this, there is nothing more to do until
the crop is ready to be taken up, which will
generally happen in September, the stalks i
ace then taken up at the root, stripped of j
their leaves, and taken to the mill where
the juice is pressed out between iron roll
ers, in the way usually employed with the
sugar cane. Lime water about the consis
tency of thin cream, is then added with the
juice, one spoonful to the gallon ; it is then
left to settle one hour, and then poured into
boilers, which are covered until the liquid
approaches the boiling point, when the
scum must be taken off. It is then boiled
down as rapidly as possible, taking off the j
scum as it rises. As the juice approaches j
the state of syrup, it is necessary to slack- j
en the fire to avoid burning. The boiling j
is nearly completed, when six quarts are |
reduced to one ; it is then poured into cool
ers or moulds and set aside to chrystalize. :
When this process is gone through, the su
gar is to be separated from the molasses,
and the operation is finished. The process j
here detailed, gives the quality of sugar you
see in the samples. If required it can be
afterwards refined as other sugar. The
use of animal charcoal, and the employ
rnent of steam in the process of evaporation,
as is common in the manufacture of beet
sugar, would I am confident, produce white
sugar at one operation. From what is
known on the subject, I fully believe that
an acre of good ground, treated as above
described, will yield at least 1000 lbs. of
sugar, probably more. The value of the
fodder taken from the stalks, and of the
stalks themselves, after passing through the !
mill, will be more than an equivalent for 1
the whole expense of cultivation and keep
ing the ground up. The fodder produced
in this way is much superior to that usual
ly made, from its containing a greater
quantity of saccharine matter.”
We consider the experiments made by
Mr. Webb as most important, and doubt not
but the country will find cause for gratifi
cation at the success of his efforts to pro
duce sugar from corn. The process is re
markably simple, the fixtures cannot be
expensive, and the difficulties which have
hitherto attended and prevented the making
of sugar from the beet in this country, do
not appear in the case of corn, to exist.—
The foreign substances in beet juice render
its conversion into sugar an intricate and
delicate process ; while there seems to be
no more obstacles in the way of making su
gar from the corn than from the juice of the
sugar cane or the maple. F'or some cause
the analysis of beets in this country has not
shown the quantity of sugar or saccharine
matter that the French or German beets
produce; while from the fact if there is
one plant more strictly American than an
other, Indian Corn is that one, wo may ex
pect that it will be produced in greater per
fection here than any other partofthc world.
The value of the fodder produced will not
be lost sight of in any estimate of the pro
fits which are to result from the cultivation
of corn for the manufacture of sugar.
The exhibition of the New Castle Socie
ty, where the letter from which our extract
is made, was read, went off with the most
gratifying success. There was a fine show
of Durham, Devon and Ayrshire cattle, fine
horses, improved sheep and pigs, with nu
merous agricultural implements, from the j
all-important Plough and complete Seeding
machine, down to the simplest hoe. Sev
eral distinguished farmers from otherStutes I
were present, among whom were Mr. Rob
inson, of Indiana, and Mr. Bement, of New-
York. There can be no question that such
exhibitions are attracting much more no
tice than formerly, and their beneficial ef
fects on the public will bo proportionablv
extended.
THE CLIMATE.
We have perceived within the last few
years that our winters are yearly becoming
milder, and our summers colder. What
can be the cause ? The fact none will de
ny’, but the why we would like to be in
formed of.— New Haven Palladium.
That the winters are becoming more
mild, and the summers more cold, or in oth
er words, that the weather throughout each
year, summer and winter inclusive, is ra
pidly becoming equalized, is a matter of
such general notoriety, that every reflecting
man must have observed it for several years
past. And we had supposed that a litera
ry and scientific journal, such as the Pal
ladium professes to be, would have accoun
ted for the fact, upon purely philosophical
principles. We will endeavor to enligh
ten the mind of our contemporary.
The cliptic, the great circleof the sphere,
the apparent path of the sun, and the regu
lator of the seasons, in its inclination, has
been decreasing for near three thousand
years, and its maximum variation, in the j
beginning of 1841, was estimated at 1 -17th
of the whole. This, any school boy knows j
has thrown our division of the earth nearer j
the sun in the winter, and further from his j
influences in the summer. Hence, in the
i winter, the sun’s rays fall more directly ‘
’ upon our zone, than they did a few years j
j since, and in the summer, more obliquely j
i than formerly.
These circumstances operate to lessen j
’ the heat of summer, as well as the cold of
winter. Hence the cold of past summers, I
and the warm days of as many winters. — !
Hence, also, the great amount of warm
weather the present winter, as well as the
backwardness of the Spring, and the cold i
during the summer. And ifour philosophy ;
be correct, of which we have no doubt, this
journeying from summer to winter, will
gradually continue, till we are thrown so
near the sun in winter, and so far from it in
summer, as to equalize the weather—put a
stop to the cultivation of the earth, to a
! great extent—and introduces starvation,
misery and death. Are there not some pre
dictions in Holy Writ, that point to such a
time? We ask for in formation. Letsome
of the divines of our country answer.

: Pedigree. —Master Solomon was bred by Phil
i more, in 18315, sired by Reveller; his dam by
Lord Banters, Lord Earners by Jupiter; Jupiter
; out of Brambtish, Brambush by Teddy the Grind
er; her dam by Princess, by Sir Peter; Dun
| gruion by Turf, Herod, &c.; Jupiter by Whis
key, out of Jenny the Spinner, by Dragon; her
I dam by Matchein, &c. Reveller, by Comus;
Conius out of Rosetta; Rosetta by Baningbtirg,

\ Zuborose ; Zuberose by llerod, &s. Comus by
Sorcerer, his dam by Sir Peter, Highflyer, &c.,
j Sorcerer by Trumpeter; Trumpeter by Conduc
; tor, and he by Matchein.
This is enough to satisfy all men who have
! made themselves acquainted with the Pedigrees
of English blooded Horses, that the Master Sol
omon is as tine a blooded Horse as ever crossed
the Atlantic. Solomon has never run any Races
as he was injured in his left fore leg in coming
out oi the vessel, which mark is there to be seen.
Solomon has now with him a two years’ old Colt,
of his own get, which is thought by all who have
seen him, :iiat he cannot he surpassed by any of
his age. The Master Solomon was imported
i from England to America in 1838, by James
! Stow, oi Virginia.
We the underwritten Subscribers do certify

That a complete survey may be made of the re
maining counties of the State, and the whole
consolidated and published lor the information
and benefit of the citizens, public patronage is
most respectfully solicited. A work ot this kind,
is much needed m Georgia, a Stale comprising
an area of sixty thousand square miles, briny;
destitute of a single correct Map, Geography, or
history of the same. A majority of the cit izens
must, from necessity, be unacquainted with the
rich mineral resources and agricultural capaci
ties of the different sections. Favored as the
subscriber has been, by four years labor, as
State Geologist, in different parts of the State,
in collecting materials for a complete report of
an Agricultural and Geological survey and Na
tural History, he trusts that he shall be able to
meet the approbation oi his fellow citizens.
The subscriber pledges his honor, that the
proceeds arising from subscription for the work
shall be appropriated to the completion o: the
survey of the remainiug counties oi the Slate,
and that they shall be finished as they will be
needed for publication.
