FARMERS* EAGLE. Sorghum in America—An In teresting Bit of History. In the spring of 1856 the editor of the American Agriculturist re ceived a small parcel of sorghum seed from Messrs Vilmorin, Andreux & Co., the noted seedsmen of Paris, ■who had brought it from China. It was planted in rich garden soil, and grew 13 to 15 feet high, maturing its seed well. The children of the neighborhood found the juices of the stalks so sweet that they used up a large part of three rows 25 feet in length. A sketch of one of the plants was made and published, with a description, in this journal of February, 1857. It was subsequently announced that the seed would be distjibuted among our readers, to be divided equally among all who should send an envelope directed to them selves—say 25 to 50 seeds each. This publication brought samples to the office from three other parties within 30 miles of New York Cdy. Soon after, a stranger came in and tried bard to buy all our seed. When his offer had reached $8 a pound, he was informed that it would not be sold at any price, >. s it was already prom ised to our-readers. He then pro duced a newspaper item from the west, where he had been traveling, and said the interest was so great that he could divide a pound into a hundred or more pircels and sell them quickly at $1 a parcel. As soon as he left the office the editor sent out and bought all the seed in the three localities he had heard of, at $5 a pound. At the same time he wrote to the Paris seedsmen to send him all the seed they had and draw on him for the pay. To his surprise consternation almost the ? re turned word by the next steamer that they had shippec 1000 pounds (no Atlantic cable then) and held 600 pounds more to his order. The whole was ordered at once, and when the 1000 pounds arrived it was im mediately announced that none of it would be sold,'but that a packet of at least 400 seeds would be presented to any reader of the American Agri culturist who desired it—enough to experiment with and to supply an abundant supply of plants the next year if it proved valuable. Thirty one thousand parceis were distribu ted to our readers throughout the country, and planted. Enough was saved and sent to Georgia to grow 34,500 pounds of seed, during the summer of 1857- This was sent to this office, and a full pound given to every reader desiring it for 1858. From the above seed, thus widely scattered, was produced at least nine tenths of the sorghum produced in this country. A small quantity was sent out from the patent office and some sold by dealers. Hundreds of millions of gallons of syrup were made and used during the war when the usual supply of southern grown sugar was cut off. It was worth many millions of dollars to the coun try. But such difficulty was experi enced in producing good sugar that the cultivation fell off after the sup ply of south grown sugar came in. Quite a “boom’’ was started later on by high claims asserted for a variety called the African “Imphoe,’’ but this soon died out. Recently, the im proved processes of obtaining the saccharine matter in crystalline form, as sugar, have given a new impetus and promising results are antici pated.— American Agriculturist. Grade and Scrub Calves—Tire Difference in Price. Will we never the difference in breeding grade cattle and scrubs ? About ten days ago a cattle buyer came through this section and bought every good grade calf and steer he could find for sale. The writer sold him 15 calves about one year old for sls each—two calves in the lot were under one year old, and were rated at $lB each. They were good grades and had been well treated. The general average of the calves of the country at the same age can be bought for $7 to $lO each, which shows the great difference in the classes of cattle. These grade calves nearly all go to Kentucky to be grazed, and in 12 months will be worth four cents per pound in the eastern markets, while the scrubs left for us will be worth about one and a half to two cents per pound, and will cost as much to carry them as the grades. These facts have been presented to the farmers time after time, and still they go on heedlessly, paying little attention to the breeding of then cattle, and betting their “bottom dol lar” on cotton. When a field is seeded to clover it is eaten out "root and branch” by scrub stock that do not pay for their keeping. The owner comes to the conclusion at once that clover and stock don’t pay, and puts the land in cotton the next year. I think the legislature ought to pass, at its next meeting, a scrub bull law, not for killing sheep, but for bringing financial distress upon the country to a far greater extent than the dogs do by killing sheep. I am satisfied, from close observa tion, that one-half of the farmers of our country lose annually enough money to pay their state and county taxes on account of scrub bulls being permitted to run at will. I must say in behalf of our intelli gent people that the cattle of the country have been much improved during the last five years, but it might be done much more rapidly.— IV. T. H., in Dixie Farmer. The Missouri Republican records the history of a granger store at Lewiston. It has a capital of only $2,200, contributed by farmers in the neighborhood. Ou this it did a busi ness last year of SIO,OOO. After paying out of the profits all the ex penses and a dividend of 10 per cent, to the stockholders, and setting apart one-fourth of the remainder as a re serve fund, there was enough left to pay a dividend of 6 per cent, to the customers on the amount of their purchase during the year. The busi ness of the store is conducted strict ly on the cash system. This, together with the fact that it turns its capital over five time a year, on the average, is the secret of success.
