For the Farm a7id Garden. KENNEY'S EARLY AMBER SUGAR CANE. In this Tariety we have a plant tliat is destined to prove of immense value to the northern portion of onr country. It has heen tested in Minnesota for several years past. A large grower gives the following statement to thfe State Commissioner: I planted a piece of this cane this year, on the 27th of May, on new land, and before any frosts it was entirely ripe. Its saccharine gualities are of the first order, fine and rich, and its earliness highly recom- mends it to the whole countiy. It has another desirable quality, it stands up well, does not easily blow down, usually grows eleven and twelve feet high with us. When planted between the first and tentli of May, the seed almost invariably ripens, thus giving one the advantage of a double crop in one year from one planting, some i:0 or 25 bushels of seed, and 150 or more gallons of fine syrup per acre, that is, if it is skillfully handled. All kinds of farm stock are fond of the seed; when ground and mixed with bran it makes a good heavy feed for horses; hens are very fond of the seed, and I believe it makes them produce eggs more abundantly than almost any other kind of gi-ain.
