the time of the people. :, In, the distillation
OF the roses, the water which comes off is
successivevly re.distilled, and finally the oil,
being tie lightest, rises to the top. and is
SKINNED off. 1t is lin,pid, with atinge Of
orange color. 1t is said to take three hun
dred thousand roses to yiold an ounce Of
oil.
This oil is brought To- Constantinople in
her metically sealed copper vessels, varying
in size fromi those capable Of holding all
ounce to those which hold seven pounds
so that, at the regular market price, (S6 an
ounce,) one Of these copper cases may be
worth $500. The oil is worth six times its
weight in silver. The ordinary amount OF
oil produced in Hassanlik is little less than
5000 pounds. At Constantinople the oil is
put up in gilt bottles, manufactured express.
ly for the purpose in Bohemia. The rose
water which remains from the distillatiOn
after the oil has been skinned off is sold
for eight or ten cents q quart, and is used
by the Greeks and Armenians on all festival
occasions.
1t has been stated that the otto is worth
in the land of its manufacture six dollars al
ounce; aud it is: frequently sold here for Il
considerably less amount, This apparent
inconsistency is owing 10 the fact that the
oil is susceptible Of an extraordinary degree
of adulteration. 1t was formerly mixed
with sandal.wood oil, which is valued al
about one.tweIfth as much us the otto o
roses. 1t is much less limpid and flowing
than the oil Of roses.
Of late years, however, a new oil has
been introduced TO dilute oil Of roses and
render it less overpowering. 1t is brought
by the Arabs from Mecca, aud is called by
them shepherds perfume" 1t is extracted
from kind of geranium. at cost of. two
dollars per pound, or cne thirty.sixth the
price of otto Of roses. Both on account o
its cheapness, certain similarity Of odor
and its likeness in color and weight to otto
of roses, no other oil is so well adapted tc
mix with it and reduce its strength. In the
common oil of roses, found in the shops
there is probably fifteen per cent. Of foreign
oils; and the difusability of its aroma i:
such, that it may receive without perceva
BILE depreciation, in the opinion of ordinary
Judges, eighty per cent. of pure foreign oils
especially Of the oil Of geranium.-Hunrs

PREPARATION OF THE GRouNp.-At the
expiration of three weeks, shovel over the
compost, SO as to mix it thorough ;:then
haul it on the ground, spread it evenly over
the surface, plow the compost in tothe depth
OF eight inches, let the sub.soil plow follow
the other plow to the depth Of six inches
more. The blowing and sub-soilng done,
harrow, cross. harrow, and roll when your
land will be fit to receive the trees.
SETTING OUT THE. TREEs.-Dig the holes
forty feet apart each way, six feet square
and two feet deep; place the surface soil
dug out of the holes on one side, and the
sub.soil on the other: mix the surface soil
with an equal portion Of the compost, a part
of which must be saved for the purpose.
With this, fiji up each hole the proper
depth to receives the trees. Examine the
roots carefully, and cut off any parts that
may have been broken smoothly; then in.
sert the tree so as to stand in the mole the
same depth It did in the nursery. Let one
man hold the tree up straight, while the others
spreads the'roots carefully and regularly out
next drive down a stake'to support and keep
the trees erect; then commence to fill up
the hole with the mixture of compost and
surface soil: as the soil is being put in, say
when the hole is about one.half filled, pour
in bucket of water, 10 settle the earth
around The roots; then put in the remainder
Of the soil press the earth gently with the
hand, and finish by giving to the surface 6
shallow. basin.like form, by confuing the
tree to the stake with wisp Of straw, OF
some other soft substance then fill up tn,
basin formed gradually, pour thereon buck

SPEEDY CURE FOR FoUNDERED HORSE.
As soon as you find your horse is founder
ed, bleed him in the neck in proportion to
the greatness of the founder. In extreme
cases you may bleed him as long as he can
stand up. Then draw his head up, as is
common in drenchiug, and with spoon put
on his tongue, give strong salt until you get
him to swallow one pint BE careful not to
let him drink too much. Then anont around
the edges Of his hools with spirits OF turpen.
tine, and your horse will be well in one
hour.
A founder pervades every part Of the
system Of horse. The heam arrests it
from the blood, the salt arrests it from the
stomach and bowels, and the spirits of tur.
pentine arrests it from the feet and limbs.
| once rode horse ninety.nine miles in
two days, returning home at night the sec.
ond day, AMI his owner would not have
known that he had been foundered if had
not told him, and his founder Was one of the
deepest kind.
I once, in travel of seven hundred miles,
foundered my horse three times and do
not think my journey was retarded more
than one day by the misfortune, having in
all cases observed and practised the above
prescription. | have known a 'foundered
horse turned in at night on green food in
the morning he would be well, having been
purgcd by the green food. All founders
must be attended to immcdiatcly.-S. w.

A LARGE SUGAR EsrATE.-In the South
ern Christian Advocate, we find an interest
ing letter from an American at Cuba, from
which we extract the following. The writer
was guest at the sugar estate known as
the "Flower of Cuba" and says:
"This estate contains five thousand acres
of productive lands. We rode for hours
through immense fields Of sugar cane, twelve
to eighteen feet high. These fel lds are divided
by beautiful avenues of royal palm and
mango trees. Many of the trees are sixty
to eighty feet high, in the distance looking
like white marble columns. They commence
cutting the cane in December, and the top is
used as food for cattle. In Louisiana the
cane has to be renewed annually; here, once
in ten or fifteen years. 1t is hauled in carts
drawn by oxen to the sugar mill, which is
usually located in the centre OF the farm.
Formerly the grinding was done by OK
power, but recently the American engine
has been introduced The building and
machinery on this estate cost three hundred
thousand dollars. They work eight hun.
dred hands, and about one thousand oxen,
for five months in the year. The mil! runs
night and day-Sunday and Monday. Three
hundred acres are planted in vegetables,
fruit, etc., for the negroes. They will make
this year, twelve thousand boxes aud two
thousand hhds, sugar, besides several thou
sand hhds molasses. The product OF this
farm would be worth in the Charleston
market one million dollars! !'

1t is believed that Coffee can be culliva.
ted in some of our Southern States as sue.
cessiully as in Brazil, Java and jamaica
That its cultivation in our country would be
in valuable may he inferred from the fact that
it cost US no less than SIS, 100000 annually
as an importation. The coffee tree it is
we'll known, lives TO great age, provided
the soil is kept drained, and begins to bear
when three years old. increasing in frui,ion
till seven years Of age. 1t is to be hoped
that the experiment will speedily be tried in
some of our Southern States.
