During the past week the weather has been
nil that could be desired for farming operations.
Nearly every section has been visited by light
showers, and the crops have feaped
forward uuder their favoriug influences. From
the truck farming and inelen regions of the
south we have the most encouraging report*
Not only are these crops in a more advanced
state than usual, but extraordinary efforts have
been made by the railroads to insure rapid aud
efficient transportations to the markets of the
north and west. The general outlook is
bright.

iinjmrt millions of pounds of sugar from for
eign countries, and tho demand is such that
the supply is not always equal to tho amount
consuniarl, both Louisiana and Cuba being
unequal to the task of growing enough sugar
for the wants of those who look in these di
rections for a supply. It was formerly sup
posed that sugar could only bo grown iu n
tropical climate, or in the temperate xouesbor

terns of extracting syrup and crystaliaing
sugar, that tho crop will be a general one, ul
timately taking the place of corn iu some sec
tions. Tho petty political feuds in the agri
cultural department have done much to hin
der the progress of sorghum culture, and but
for the enterprise of individuals aud companies
the making of sugar from sorghum would be n
very in??ignificant matter. During tho late
war sorghum syrup was made on nearly all
the farms in the south, and it assisted greatly
in prolonging tho struggle, ns good, whole
some sprup was iu every house, which usurp
ed the place of molasses as well as sugar.
The value of sorghum does not consist of the
fact of its being a; source from which sugar and
syrup may be procured only,but because it nn-
awers for a variety ofj)urposes outside of that
of providing sugar. The ??????begasso" or refuse
is readily eaten by hogs, or competed for fer
tilizing, and the ???skimming*??? are said to con
tain nitrogenous matter, while the blades take
tho place of corn fodder. The seed* can be
fed in the unground state, or may be convert
ed into meal for domestic purposes, or for feed
ing to stock. Surely a plant that has proven
itself well adapted to different climates, and
which answers so many demands, is worthy of
place on every farm. It should bft brought
within tho notico of all, and a* it requires about
the same cultivation as corn, can no doubt *
made a very profitable crop.
At the New York state sugar grower*??? con
vention, held in Geneva, it was demonstrated
that over 8,000,000 pound* of sugar wero pro
duced from four factories alone, and many in
teresting facts were brought before those pres
ent, which cannot fail to be of great value to
all those directly interested in tho question of
producing sugar at home. Professor Weber, of
Champaign, Illinois, advised that when largo
quantities of cane nr<* grown, various kinds
should be planted, maturing at different sea
sons, SO that one can bo worked up while tno
other is ripening. Ho thinks early Amber and
early Golden best for early maturing cano, but
ho prefers late maturing varieties iu a climate
where they will ripen.
When cano is cut and allowed to lie, the
enne sugar changes the grape sugar, and in
order to prevent this change, cano should never
be allowed to remain over ono night. ??? This is
most important point, as many pounds of sugar
may be saved by properly observing this rule.
Sprouting the seed does not hasten tho crop
forward, as experiments have demonstrated.
The application of super-phosphate has been
found highly beneficial, increasing tho per
ceutago of sugar to a great extent, and caus
ing tho seed to mature and the crop to ripen
earlier. In experiment* made with topped
and uhtopped enne, tho topped cano was found
to produce three per cent wore sugar than tho
other, which makes a difference of thirty-six
pounds of sugar in a ton of cane.

Experiknck in Bek-Kkkpixo.???Nr. Edward
Tarr gives the Maine Homo farm tho following
interesting and instructive account of his ex
perience in boo-keening: ???Seven vears ago
when I bought my first swarm of bees there
were none kept in this place, although six or
seven had tried it and failed. As I was entire
ly unacquainted with the business, of course
my expectations were not very high, yet I had
hopes of getting enough honey for homo use.
Not wishing to onre for hut a few swarms most
of the increase was sold for the first three vears,
when I began to become fascinated with the
business; since which time I have saved the
increase, and been fairly successful in the pro
duction of honey. In 1879 a forest fire burnt
over a tract of several thousands of acres of
timber lands, coming within half a mile of us,
The next sumtner that tract was covered with
fire-wood (Epilobium Augustifoliiim), a plant
.which secretes honey of the finest quality and
in great abundance. In 1HH0 1 hived a first
swarm the 25th of July. At that time there
was n sea of purple bloom extending for miles
to tho west and south of us. In just seven
weeks that hive wo# full, and 105 pounds of
comb honey in boxes containing about tbreo
pounds cacn, were tiered up on top of the hive.
That honey netted me thirty cents per pounds
in Massachusetts. Three years before I be
lieved that ???a swarm in July is not worth a
fly.???
In the spring of 1882 a neighbor found a
swarm of bees fn a tree a mile and n hall from
tho edge of his burnt tract. The 21*t of May I
went with him to help secure the tinner, if
there was any, and the bees if possible. They
wero in a dead pine tree twenty-five feet from
the ground. Wo felled the tree and secured
seventy-five pounds of honey, a bushel of
empty comb, and brood enough to fill five
Langstroth frames, with about four quart* of
bees. We brought the bee* out, and the 11th
of July they swarmed olid pitched directly
over the hive, and we had them safely hived
in twenty minute* from the time they is#ned
from the parent hive. I mentio n this be
cause it had been prophesied by the knowing
one* that they being wild bee# (?) would hast
en to make tracks for the woods, or in other
words,show us how their coats set behind.
Well, from that swarm brought from the woods,
and the new swarm, my neighbor secured 134
I wunds of surplus in addition to the seventy-
ive pound* taken from the tre. There are now
in this place thirty bee-keepers, who keep all
the way from one to eighty swarms.
Gbowixg Tomitom.???The tomato is the favor
ite vegetable of nearly all families and garden
ers, aud as it ha* been improved to a degree of
excellence of late years far surpassing any
thing in the list of vegetables it is doubtful if
it can be made much better than it is at the
pjeaent time. The early plants should have
been started in hotbeds before now, and while
they should be set out as early as the ground
will permit, care should be taken not to expose
them before danger of frost is over.
??? For field culture the row* are laid off four
feet each way, a large shovelful of good, rich,
well-rotted manure being placed at each in
tersection, and well worked in with a hoe. Set
the plants out, placing them deep, pour water
around the root*, and cover with earth. AH
that ia necessary afterward* is to keep them
clean with a cultivator, but if the garden sys
tem can be applied to a large field the crop
will be all the better for it.-
To manage them is tbe garden, where the
apade and hoe are to be used, three feet is close
