ggrtmltural. 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. Jonesborough Ten. Whig. .

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.
