Manufacture Of Port Wine.

A London paper gives the following &C
count of the manner in which port wine is
manufactured:
"Whcn port is required to be manufactu
red, two separate processes are deliberately
and Systematically gone through first, the
wine itself is made, and then the bottles are
prepared into which the liquor is to be
transferred When the mixture Itself is de-
ficient in the fragrancy peculiar to the
grape, n boquct is contributed by means Of
sweet scented herbs, by orris root, elder
flowers, or laurel. A vnous odor is some
times impaired by small quantities of the Ii
auid known as "thc oil OF vine The plea
SAINT juice of the sloc imparts a portke
roughness to the compound, and sawdust or
oak.bark effect the same purpose. A frulty
taste is given by a tincture of raisins, and
the ri, h ruby color has probably once flowed
in the vessels of the sandelwood tree.
''But the bottles have TO be crusted. This
is done by tincturc of ca,echu and su'phate
of lime.
"Tnc corks are stepped ina decocton OF
Brazil wood, and the very casks are prepa-
red with layer of cream of tartar, which is
formed at the bottom in glittcring crystals.
Thus pipe of port which was young in the
morning is made to fall into extreme old age,
in the course of the afternoon. There is no
cxaggerations and the following is given as
the chemical analysis Of bottle of cheap
port wine, though for obvious reasons we
suppress the quantities; Spirits OF wine, CT
der, sugar, alum, tartaric acid, and de.
coctoa of logwood. In most instances,
when the wine is not manufactured in this
country, the consumer is victimized by a
three-fold adultcration. The exporter adul.
terates, the importer adultcratcs, and finally
the retail dealer adultcrates."

Horse Flesh as Food .

NJ. Geoffroy Saint Hillaire, professor at
the museum Of natural history, has just de-
lvered two lectures on the advantages OF
bringing horse flesh into use of food. There
is no reason, he declares, why horse flesh
should not be eaten like the OK and the
sheep the horse is herbivorous, and no de-
leterious element enters into its food or
structure. Its flesh, besides, is full of azote.
The ancient Germans and Scandinavians
had marked liking for horse flesh. They
preserved certain race Of white horses to
be sacrificed to Odin, and after the sacrifice
they boiled the flesh and feasted on it. The
introduction Of Christianity put an end to
this custom, and probably led to the aver
sion Of horse flesh which is now generally
manifested in Europe The normadic tribes
Of Northern Asia make horse flesh their ia
vorite food, though they have numerous
flocks of oxen and sheep. Ia spite Of the
dislike of horse flesh in modern Europe, the
Danes have leccommenccd the use Of it.
During the siege of Copenhagen, in 1897,
the government formally authorized the sale
of it in butchers shops, and since then it
has been constantly sold; there is even in
that city privileged slaughter house for
horses placed under the surveillance Of the
1t at the average price Of twelve cents per
pound. Parent Duchatc, an esteemed wri-
ter, asserts that large quantities Of horse
flesh were formerly introduced into Paris on
different prctexts. lIuzard an eminent We
terinary surgeon, states thakin the scarcity
which followed the revolution of 1888, the
greater part of the meat consumed at Paris
for six months was horse flesh, and that it
caused no i'll effect on the public health
The distinguished army surgeon, Baron
I.arrey, made his wounded patients eat
horse flesh in the campaigns of the Rhine, of
the Maritime Alps, and he ascrbes to it the
cure of great number of his sick in Egypt
From all these facts and numerous others,
NJ. Geotfroy Saint lllairc insisted that the
horse, in addition to the service it already
renders to man, can be made 10 supply cheap
and nutritious food. - - +..

Let the Eacfs he Recorded.

We had the pleasure of convcrsing with
an intelligent farmer from the bottom on yes
terday, who gave US q few figures concern
ing the crops in that usually very productive
region, which satisfy us that the fearful ex-
tent Of the drouth last year has not been
fully estimated. We believe it is an admit
ted fact that crops on the deep rich sell Of
the American bottom suffer much less from
protracted dry weather than those upon the
uplands, not excepting the richest prairieS.
This gentleman informed us, that in 1858 he
had 40 acres Of land in corn, and after fec
ding 20 head of horses and mules, 200 hogs
and so head Of cattle, he sold 5000 bushels
of corn at an average Of 33c per bushe',
realizing $50. In 1854, he put the same
the same stock as the previous year, he had
not single bushcl Of corn for sale.
/ A neighbor in 1868, put 10 acres in corn,
and gathered 800 bushels. In 1854 he put
the same number of acres in corn, and ga
thered 8 bushels of dwarf ears.
lie mentioned the following circumstance,
in connection with the labors OF the past
year, which may pass for what it Is worth,
a neighbor put in corn two tracts OF
ground, containing twenty-five acres each,
lying side by side, and of equal fertility.
One tract he cultivated with great care,
blowing frequently, to keep the soil mellow
and free from weeds. his tract produced
nothing worth mentioning. The other tract
he plowed but once, and that not thorough
ly. This tract produced 10 bushels per
acre.
The potato crop Of last year our informant
estimated at 10 bushels per acre, being just
equal to the seed planted. The year preyi,
Gus the yield was $50 bushels per acre He
represents the acres of ground planted in
potatoes this year to be equal in number to
the usual planting. The potato crops of last
year were nearly all garnered, and the bot
tom farmers had sufficient seed for thoil
purposes this spring
OF corn and oats about the usual amount
has been put in.
The course pursued by the farmers among
themselves in this time of scarcity exhibits a
deposition which cannot be too warmly
commended, course which no class Of pco-
pie are better able to pursue than are oui
Western farmers. Those having surplus
Of either feed or seed divided with theil
neighbors, in preference to marketing them
at the high rates of this year, requiring nc
pay until they could realize from the coming
crops Thsy have thus been mostly enabled
to guard against actual want, and to prepare
fully for the coming agricult iral season. -
