Sugar.
A GREAT PROBLEM SOLVED.
Sugar Frem Sorghum and Tndlan Cern.
Amazing Results of the New
Processes.
A writer, who subscribes himself " W."
and dates his letter Washington, March G,
says in the New Yerk Herald :
Frem a visit te the agricultural build
ing, this day, the writer returned with the
conviction that surely within the next ten
years, and probably within the next five
years, the production of sugar within the
limits of the United States will supply all
the demands of our 50,000,000 of people,
and that in this production net only will
there be a gain annuaHy te the wealth of
the country equal te $200,000,000, but even
our Northern border states will become
self-supporting. In ether .words, from re
cent discoveries made and new processes
applied in the production of sugar from
the raw material, our sugar producing
belt, from the superior profits of the cul
ture, will within a few years embrace all
our ter.-itery in which sorghum or Indian
corn will come te maturity.
Colonel Rebert C. Murphy, formerly
United States consul general in China, but
new engaged here in the agricultural de
partment, called the writer's attention te
this important subject ; first in a reference
te the facts presented in the interesting
agricultural report for 1877 of Commis
sioner Le Due, and next in an introduc
tion te Professer Collyer, the chemist of
the department, the general results of
whose experiments in the production and
crystallization of sugar may be ranked in
importance with the invention of the cot
ton gin.
It appears from the commissioner's re
port that the several attempts te make
sugar from beets in this country having
been abandoned as profitless, and all the
attempts of twenty years te make a mer
chantable sugar from sorghum having
failed down te the new processes et 1877,
it had become a settled opinion that only
from the tropical cane ana the sugar maple
tree could sugar be profitably made in the
United States. But the maple sugar is an
inferior article. Our product, some twenty-eight
million pounds in 18G0, is but a
small item in the general consumption ;
and the limited belta of maple groves along
our Northern border by the axe and by fire
are fast disappearing. The sugar produc
tion from the tropical cane in this country
is confined te a narrow belt bordering the
gulf of Mexico. The total production of
this strip last year was about 25,000,000
pounds, while our importations from
abroad were 1,741,650,000 pounds of sugar,
besides molasses, melade and ether forms
of sucrose, being about 300,000,000 pounds
increase ever the imports of the preceding
year.
It is estimated that the annual consump
tion of sugar in the United States does net
exceed forty pounds per capita, while in
England the consumption is sixty pounds
per person. It may be safely assumed,
tli ere fore, that with an abundant supply
of a cheap, pure and wholesome home
grown sugar our consumption would seen
increase te sixty, and perhaps eighty
pounds per capita. At sixty pounds, the
English average (the French much
higher), our fifty millions of people would
consume three thousand million pounds
of sugar, which at seven cents per pound
would be equal te $210,000,000. But the
Crystal Lake sorghum sugars of "Weidner
& Ce., of Chicago, sold last year at ten
cents per pound, and at this figure our
farmers have have new in sorghum and
Indian corn the canes from which they
may add annually fully $200,000,000 te the
wealth of the country.
Twe years age this great desideratum
was held te be se far beyond our reach as
te be utterly unattainable. New, with
the improved and cheap machinery and
chemical processes employed, the profit
able production of sugar from sorghum
and a superior mercantile sugar, tee is
placed within the reach of every farmer en
whose lands sorghum or Indian corn will
grew. Seme twenty-three years age the
attention of the farmers of the country,
North and Seuth, began te be actively
drawn te the growth of sorghum, and
several varieties African, European and
Central American were widely distributed
and cultivated. During the war for the
Union se general had the cultivation of
this cane become throughout the Seuth
that from Virginia te Texas the people of
the Confederate States for their " sweeten
ing " were reduced almost wholly te sor
ghum syrup or molasses, all attempts te
crystallize it having proved futile ; hence,
since the war, the general decline in the
sorghum culture North and Seuth until
the last year, from which we may date the
rising of a "big boom" for sorghum,
which will push forward our home pro
duction of sugar until it is numbered
among our experts te England.
Without troubling you with the tables
of figures, the results of the numerous
chemical experiments made at the agricul
tural department in the crystallization of
the juices respectively of the Louisiana
ribbon sugar cane, a half dozen varieties
of sorghum, and several kinds of Indian
field corn, it is sufficient here te say that
from these experiments the general results
include tne following :
Frem the juice of the Louisiana ribbon
sugar cane (the choicest variety) the
highest percentage obtained was :
Per Cent.
Sucrose (or true cane sugar) 16 50
Frem the early amber sorghum. ... 17 00
Frem the Chinese sorghum 13 90
Frem the white Liberian 15 26
Frem the Honduras 16 10
Frem the pearl millet 11 30
And from the samples en exhibition all
these sorghum sugars are of excellent
quality. The general conclusion, from
the numerous chemical examinations
made, is that there exists but little differ
ence between the various kinds of sorghum
as sugar producing plants, and that the
juice of each of them is, in its full develop
ment, nearly as rich in sugar as tne nest
tropical cane produced in this country.
Professer Collyer says that from an acre
of the Honduras sorghum he has obtained
two tens et sugar, and from three ether
varieties one ten of sugar each. The larger
yield from the Honduras plant is mainly
attributable te the stage of development
at which the stalks were gathered for the
grinding. New, bearing in mind the fact
that sugar and syrup have been made from
sorghum by the carload the past season,
which commanded the highest market
price, and that the cash value per acre
above all the costs of its production is such
as te make it a mere profitable crop thau
wheat, Indian corn, tobacco or cotton, it
cannot be doubted that, with the diffusion
et this information, the cultivation of a
field or two of sorghum for its sugar will
be generally adopted by the farmers of the
country; first, as an experiment, and
next, en a larger scale, as a regular crop
from year te year.
But the most remarkable results from
these experiments in suear - making ob-
Itained by Professer Collyer were from In
dian corn. Frem an acre of land planted
last year with a common white field, corn,
known as the horse teeth, from the shape
of its kernel, he gathered the ears when
fully ripe, and their yield of shelled corn
was sixty-nine and one-tenth bushels
mere than double the average crop per
acre of the country at large. Next, strip
ping and grinding the stalks and working
up their juice by the new processes, he ex
tracted from it 960 pounds, or nearly half a
ten of sugar of a geed quality. Here,
then, from the stalks thrown out by our
farmers into the refuse of the barn yard as
fit only te be reduced te manure a mere
profitable crop has been obtained than the
corn. Ner is this all. The pulverized
stalks, after the extraction of the saccha
rine juice (te the extent new practicable,
sixty per cent.) have proved nutritious
feed for cattle, from their elements of
starch and nitrogen retained. Applying
this extract of sugar te the Indian corn
crop of the United States that is, te the
rejected cornstalks they would give us an
income which, within the brief period of
ten years, would extinguish our national
debt.
Incredible as this fact may appear it is
deducible from the product of 960 pounds
of sugar ebsained from the stalks of an
acre of Indian com, in addition te their
yield of sixty-nine bushels of geed shelled
corn. Or take it in another forms. Put
ting our Indian corn crop at the average of
$400,000,000 in value, and estimating the
sugar in the stalks at only half the value
of the corn, with the production of se vast
an amount of sugar we have still in these
corn-stalks geld and silver te the amount
of $200,000.000 mere than double the
sum of the geld and silver extracted from
all our mines between the British De
minions and Mexico, and equal in value te
the cotton crop of all our Southern states.
When the first Napeleon, when France,
under the blockade of the English navy,
was cut offfrem her foreign supplies.offei supplies.effei
cd a reward of 10,000f. for a home pro
duced substitute for the sugar of the West
Indies which could be produced equal te
the wants of the French people, he secured
a reward worth incalculably mere te France
than all her victories in the battle field a
reward the value of which cannot be reach
ed in the millions of money saved te France
in her beet root sugar. Hew, then, can
wc estimate the value of these new appli
ances which render the production of sugar
from sorghum and corn stalks a mere pro
fitable industry en our large Southern
plantations than cotton, and en our small
Northern farms yielding a richer return
than corn, wheat, grass or potatoes ?
The old Mexican inhabitants of Santa
Fe, New Mexico, will tell you that from
their grandfathers they inherited the secret
of extracting sugar from cornstalks and
that the corn fields of their valley for gen
erations gene by have supplied these peo
ple their bread, meat and sugar, te say
nothing of the whisky a "Yankee no
tion." We find, tee, that our forefathers
of the war of independence knew some
thing of the saccharine value of cornstalks,
from the extract of a letter written by
Abigail Adams te her husband, Jehn
Adams, dated September 24, 1787, which
is as fellows :
"An instance may be seen in the pre"
gress which is made in grinding cornstalks
and boiling the liquor into molasses.
Scarcely a town or parish within forty
miles of us but what has several mills at
work ; and had the experiment been made
a month sooner, many thousand barrels
would have been made. Ne less than
eighty have been made in the small town
of Manchester. It answers very well te
distill, and may be boiled down te psugur.
There are two mills fitting up in this
parish. They have three rollers one
wjth cogs and two smooth. The stalks
stripped of the leaves and tops, se that it
is no robbery upon the cattle, and the juice
ground out. "Tis said four barrels of
juice will make one of melassscs, but in
this people differ widely. They have a
method of refining it se that it leeks as
well as the best imported molasses."
Had these beginnings in the way or sub
stitutes for foreign sugar been actively
and persevcringly followed up we can no
longer doubt that some thousands of mil
lions of dollars would have been saved te
the the country which have been spent in
importations of sugar and molasses. New,
this new industry opened te our Southern
planters, Northern farmers and capitalists,
offers such profits from a crop of sorghum
and cornstalks, and from the extraction of
their sugar, that our home product of all
grades, from the coarsest browns te the
finest whites, will seen turn the balance
of trade en sugar, and likewise in rum
and molasses, in our favor.
The strongest argument in supppert of
the scheme of the annexation of the island
of St. Dominge was the plea that it would
render us independent of Cuba in the im
portant article of sugar. This plea new
falls te the ground. The new machinery
and processes employed in the extraction
and crystallization of the sugar from the
sap of sorghum and cornstalks arc simple
and comparatively inexpensive. Sorghum
sugar, worth ten cents, can new be pro
duced, all costs included, at less than four
cents per pound. The machinery and im
plements employed include grinding
mills, drying pans and centrifugal driers.
They are new at Chicago, operated by
steam, and many persons are preparing te
fellow the profitable example of the Chi
cago firm already referred te en the score
of at least a ten of sugar per day. There
is room in this work for hundreds of small
factories in the United States, for the near
er the mill is te the sorghum and corn
fields the cheaper will be the carrying of
the stalks te the grinder. Any further
light that may be desired by the reader en
this important subject can be obtained at
or from the agricultural department. The
object of this communication is simply te
herald the advent of a new industry among
our people ; no morns multicaulis fallacy,
but a highly profitable field of industry,
equal te the gain of $200,000,000 te the
country and wide as the zone of sorghum
and Indian corn.
The Best Fruit te Plant.
Germantown Telegraph.
Friends who have but a small yards of
garden often ask what is the best tree te
plant where only one or se can have room
te grew. New, is a general way there is
no doubt but the apple is the king of fruits ;
but limited te one or two trees we shall
give the preference te a pear. The apple
has such a close-spreading head that noth
ing will grew well under it. Everything
must be given up te it ; neither grass nor
flowering shrubs will grew. But the pear
has rather an upright growth, which
does net shade every thing about it ;
and the roots run deep, se that often
things can grew almost up te its
very trunk, and this gives it a
great advantage ever the apple tree. Be
sides all this, it is measurably free from
diseases when growing in these confined
localities. We de net think wc ever heaid
of a case of fire-blight in a pear tree in a
city yard ; and it is well known that se far
as the disease which results in cracked
fruit is concerned, it is se little known in
city yards that the old butter pear will
often bear geed fruit, under such circum
stances, when it will de se nowhere else.
Then in regard te the certainty of pro
ducing a crop, there is no fruit like it, at
least in Pennsylvania. Peaches, apples,
cherries, all may fail ; but when a pear
once comes in, it is tolerably sure te have
mere or less fruit every year.
We should plant a pear by all means if
limited te a small space of ground. And
yet in some respects the cherry is net far
behind it ; and especially in that geed
point which allows crops te grew close te
the trunk without much objection.
One of the most successful cherry
growers we have in this state grows
clever between the trees, and he insists
that he has quite as geed a crop about the
tree-trunks as anywhere else, lie tins as
it may, we de knew that the deep roots of
the cherry de net interfere near as much
with tilings growing en the surface of the
ground under the branches as many ethei
things de. It is also a tolerably regular
bearer, though the curculie, and in some
cases birds, are troublesome. In the mat
ter of diseases also, the knot is often for
midable. The pie cherries, however, are
less troubled by the curculie, though per
haps mere liable te suffer from the knot
trouble. The sweet cherries grew very
rapidly as a general rule, and in this re
spect are often chosen where a little shade
as well as some fruit are desirable combi
nations in a single tree. On the whole we
prefer the pear, though for a little change
and for some ether reasons one can have a
cherry if desirable.
