Maxey Tiuimous, Esq., has presented to the Dar lington (S. L'.) District Agricultural So viet). a report on Sorgho, which appears ir. the Family Friend of the 30th, ult. lie describes the results obtained as follows: These experiments, with numerous oth ers that Mr. Ward and I have tried, con vince me t'-at at the lowest calculation, ta king the cuuc us it grows on an average, large and small, it will y.ieli one gallon of juice to every twenty eat)us —or five gallons to every hundred canes— wd that eight gallons of juice, boiled in properly eon ,strncted vessel", will yield one gallon of syrup. 1 havi accurately .measured the | ground, and counted and calculated the cane, so that I am able to lay down the fol lowing statistics as reliable, flere. T have | put the figures lower than in my siutiitical journal, because I preferred to be ou the sure side. I have laid dowu four feet as rhe distance apart for plautiug, though my conclusion now is that three feet or three and a half at moit, is sufficiently wide, which of course would u.ake the j'ield : greater. One acre of land that will yield | fifteeu bushels of corn, will, plauted 'u Cbi i nese Sugar Cane, in drills four feet j ait, ; make 17.500 stalk"; tweuty canes to the i gallon will rntke 575 gallons of jue; eight gallons of Juice to oue gallon of syr |up will make 109 gallons of sytup. This at only fifty cents a gallon, will make about | five dollars ]*r acre.

A ride from making molasses or sugar, it is Irighfy woitb the attention of our plaut !ers for feeding stock. t)ue acre of land th at wiii make fifteen basbels of corn, will 5 yield in Chines* Cotae 17,500 pouuds of provender, averaging tiw cairn, after it is , cured, at only one, pound each; then, at on ly fifty cen's per hundred, it is worth eigh i rj-seven dollars and fifty cents per acre.— jlf planted nearer than four feet, the yield will be greater. Besides, the cune may ; be cut down once or twice for feeding, in the eaiiy part of the year, and then uia ! ture for seed. Not being prepared for it, I have not : tried to make sugar, though 1 have no doubt ! it would answer the purpose. My experiments 1 cousidet all very un fair nod imperfect, because I have not only labored under the disadvantages of uot having proper verse's for boiling, but I hava myself no experience aud but little knowl edge about the process of uiakiDg molasses ■ or sugar. VLEAMNQ GRANARIES. — Bjfore storing nray your wiic-.it, yon sboul 1 cleanse your granaries. In the fitst place, the ftoers, walls and ceiling shonhf be carefully swept the dirt cobwebs and insects gttbered and burnt—not swept out of door. Then tl.o entire interior of the grsuary shouM be secured with Lot ley, made strong, and when dry the whole room, from floor to coiling, shonll be whitewashed. Such a cleansing would probably d-.-troy the wee vil that proves so destructive to stored paiis. We have seen it stated that by sprinkling I'me through the grain, it would preserve it from the ravages of the weevil. The following plan i* the one pursued by the late lion.
