Honey from Sorghum

To every gallon of the syrup, or mo-
lasses, just before taking from over the
fire, put in one quarter to one eth OF an
ounce Of pulverized alum. Then, while
cooling off, but still quite warm, put in
an ounce of sub. carb. Of soda, or saler-
atus, and half an ounce of the following
articles, viz: two drops Of the otto Of
roses to an ounce of alchohol.
This will take off the strong acid taste
peculiar to the "Sorghum Syrup" and
give it flavor much like honey, which
certainly is great improvement on the
article, in some sections, now coming in
to general use. The cost will be mere
trife, and the value, we think, will be
increased one hundred per cent.
The proportions above directed may
not be those best adapted to make ii
most like honey and least like the Sor-
ghum, but the desired end is approach
ed, and some variation may be desirable
to suit different tastes.
The Alkali may be omitted wi,hou,
much loss, as the peculiar taste may no,
be due to the acid,-lnaiana Farmer.

Management of Colts.

The great secret of breaking colts Sc
as TO be gentle, is TO treat them gently,
and never entrust them to the care oil
one who will abuse them. Kindness is
at the foundation Of Mr.. Rarey's system
Of subduing vicious horses, and it will
be found TO "pay" in the management
of colts. from the time they are weaned
TO the time they are broke to the bar-
ness. The first act in breaking colt is
10 begin when quite young, and get him
used to be handled. Rub his head &C.
casionally, and handle his legs, and il
he runs away at first, let him do so.
Bring him a favorite mess of feed, and
while be is eating handle him gently,
till he becomes accustomed to it. A
colt may be so accustomed to the hand
ling and rubbing his legs, as never to
Kick when under the operation. Empty
bags may be laid on his back for while,
then try him with one partially filled,
ill he will let you lead him about with q
sack Of chat or oats upon his back. AT
two years old, he may have light har-
ness put on him, and lead about in it
till he becomes used to it. Then try
him hitched to the fore wheels of some
old wagon kept for the especial purpose.
If be demurs to this, don't fret him nor
beat him, but lead him into the stable,
and try him again after half hour or so
has passed and let all you do be done
by such slow degrees, that he will hard
ly know when lie is drawing a pair Of
wheels.

TIE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN AMERICA
is discussed with great ability in the last
North american Review. The writer
says that any attempt to state in few
words the relative claims Of the English
language asspoken, here and in England,
must amount to this-that here the many
speak better than in England, the few
not so well. He adds
In England mans language is, in
general, fair test Of his education and
social position; here, one mans Ian
guage, like his clothes and his manners.
is about the same as his neighbours, and
all, on the whole, very good. and very
much ahoye the average in England.
And this is our boast-if we must boast
that the spectacle Of SO many millions,
covering nearly whole continent, all
speaking in the same tongue with such
uniform and general purity, without any
variations approaching to a diversity OF
dialect, is the profoundsst triumph the
English language, or any human Ian
guage. has yet achieved"
The paper concludes with the follow
ing observations
The general result of such com
parison Of the English Of England, aud
Of the United States as we have institut-
ed, is substantially this-that the written
Language is almost identified in two coun-
tries, a somewhat greater laxity in the ad-
mission of new and questionable usages
being chargsable upon US I; that the bet
ter education and more general habits of
reading Of the American people result in
common speech much above that cur,
rent in England but while there the
literally educated, following the advice
Of Cir Gro and the example Of Burke, aim
always to speak their best, and SO have
style Of colloquial English peculiar to
themselves, as pure and simple as il is
elegant-here the same class of men al
low themselves to use the language OF
their interiors in culture-a practice
which, if not abandoned, will oblige us
always. rs now, to look up to the mother
country for the highest examples ofspok

Best Time for Painting Houses.

According to the Scientific Artiean,
the best time for painting the exterior OF
buildings, &c, is late in autumn or dur.
ing the winter. Paint then applied will
endure twice as long as when applied in
early summer, or in hot weather. In the
former it drys slowly and becomes very
hard, like glazed surface, not easily af.
iected afterwards by the weather, oil
worn off by the beating of storms. But
il very hot weather the oil in the pant
soaks into the wood at once, as into a
sponge, leaving the lead nearly ready tc
crumbls off. This last difficulty, how.
ever, we should think might in meas
ure be guarded against, though at an in
creased expense, by going over the sur
face with raw oil. BY painting in cold
weather, one annoyance might certainly
be escaped, namely the collection of small
flies on the fresh paint-a thing very com
mon in this region in summer.
