SUBSTITUE FOR COFFEE - I have found from experiments I have made that the seed of the sugar cane, or (Sorgho Sucre,) parched and ground as coffee, prepared in the usual way, but by being boiled a little longer, makes an excellent substitute for coffee. My own impression is that, if it were brought into general use, thousands would adopt its use, instead of coffee, even if coffee should again be offered at its former lower prices, from the fact that all could grow and cultivate it with so little labor, and from its approaching so near the best Java.
