The former enters largely into the composition of the sugar-cane, the beetroot, the sugar-maple, the sorgho grass, pumpkins, carrots, and a great variety of other plants.

Sorgho, or Chinese sugar-cane, is raised much as Indian corn--only, it will bear some ten or twelve stalks in a hill, instead of three or four.

The very farmer who tells you that he never opened a book which treats of Agriculture, and never wants to see one, will ask his neighbor how to grow or cure tobacco, or hops, or sorgho, or any crop with which he is yet unacquainted, when the chances are a hundred to one that this particular neighbor cannot advise him so well as the volume which embodies the experience of a thousand cultivators of this very plant instead of barely one.

The period of germination of the _Sorgho_ is rather long, but once that period is passed, the most favourable results are sure to follow, even should the most unusual alternations of temperature ensue, provided the thermometer does not descend below 27°.5 Fahr.

The _Sorgho_ requires about five months to attain its full ripeness, when it is usually of a pale-yellow colour, streaked with red.
