sugar, and in the same proportion, for lar
ger or smaller quantities. Some persons
add spirit to the wine, but instead of doing
good, it is only an injury.
Another process is, after pouring in the
mixture for a thirty gallon cask, to beat up
the whites of six or eight eggs into froth,
put them into the cask and with a long
stick mix them thoroughly with the wine.
In five or six days, draw the now clarified
wine off by spigot and without shaking
the cask at ALL into clean cask, bung up
and tin to be drawn off into G ass in No
vember or March.
The more carefully the juice is strained,
the better the quality of your sugar, and
the more scrupulously clean your utensils,
particularly your kegs, and the purer and
better will be your wine
The best quality, when you gather your
own fruit, and make it yourself, costs you
only the price of the white sugar, and when
bottled has cost you in money only twelve
and half cents bottle Richmond Far

Treatment of Horses.

Many valuable horses are yearly spoiled,
or nearly so, by the improper management
of those having them in charge. Careless
or i'll tempered grooms do much mischief to
horses. They first do their work in SLOW
enly manner, while the last, though thor
ough enough as regards labor, perform
their operations in so rough a manner as to
excite the animal to resistance, rendering
him suspicious and intractable. The first
thing to be done, in taking in hand a strange
horse, is to come to pleasant understan-
ding with him. On approaching the animal
for the first time, if the right stamp, the horse
will examine the party making his acquain-
tance with great intentness. The scrutiny
should be mutual-eye meeting eye steadi-
ly, and, on the part of the groom, pleasant
ly. If the result of the examination on the
part of the horse be favorable, deep and
long-drawn respiration will succeed follow
ed by return to the food upon which he
had been sOlacing himself when first inter
rupted, implying thereby that he is ready
to be dealt with in such way as may be
deemed best for the interests of all concern
ed On the contrary, if the interview has
not been agreeable, the horse will throw up
his head, look angry, and move restlessly
about, indicating that continuance OF the
acquaintance is not desirable. In case,
soothing words with corresponding manip-
ulations the exercise of patience, virtue
as effective with horses as with the genus
homo, will generally terminate in good
unders tanding. This once established, there
will Re little chance of trouble thereafter.
If severity, at any time, becomes indispen-
! nIl lo%. hf Of abn aafa l,.,
to carry conviction and reformation with it.
These attained, let the treatment be such
as to convince the animal that nothing is
remembered to his deteirment in conse-
quence of past disagreements.
In grooming horse men sometimes use
heavy curry-comb and heavier hand not
because they are necessary to the cleaning
process, but simply to see how the animal
will "cut up" This is all wrong, and it is
pity that a groom thus abusing his pow
CT, could not be made to change places
with the horse as often as the wrong is
perpetrated Many horses, and good ones
too, are thin-skinned and peculiarly sensi-
tive to the touch of the curry-comb. Such
might we'll be spared the infiction, since a
wisp of hay and card with fine teeth will
be found ample for the purposes of clean
ing and friction. A heavy and rough in
strument, used with an unsparing hand
makes the horse suspicious, sours his tenn
per and sometimes induces disagreeable
retaliation A horse we'll and properly
groomed twice day, will appear better,
feel better, work more vigorously and be
less likely to become i'll, than if neglected
or left to such grooming only as fence
corner or friendly rack NAV supply.

agricultural.
Agriculture.

Since mankind has become civilized, there
has been no more pursuit which has contri-
buted more to promote the comfort and con-
sequent happiness of the human race than
agriculture Through It the arts and sci
ences have been developed and brought to
their present state and perfection Until
quite recently in the worlds history, agri-
cultural labor was mostly entrusted to
bondsmen and slaves, which labor applied
to the virgin soil, produced enough to sup
port the population of the country by SIM
ply blowing and sowing therefore no i'm
provement could necessarily be expected.
Whenever the produce of any country
exceeds the demand, no attention is given
to agriculture but it is left to plod its
weary way the best it can. As long as this
country raises cereals for export it is a fact
that a maiorityof our farmers will allow their
farms to deteriorate in value and produc-
tiveness. That there is an absolute neces-
sity at the present time for agricultural I'M
provement needs no argument to convince
any rejecting mind that the soil OF the old
States does not produce as much per acre
as it diG half a century ago. Even Ohio
does not produce as much as the virgin soil
of the West Hence, in many of the older
States we find farmers selling their farms,
and removing West. In 1860 there were
1890 less farmers in the State of Ohio than
there were in 1850. This is a relative loss
of 54,5l3 inhabitants, according to the in
crease of population. If such be facts, who
knows but, within the nextfe generations,
we shall have a landed aristocracy, but lit
tie inferior to that of England The truth
is, there are but few farmers in this coun-
try, who are unwilling to sell their farms al
the first opportunity when fair price is of
fered So long as farms are bought and
sold with as much facility as horses, just
so long may we expect the fertility of the
soil to decrease. Are we making the pro-
gress in agriculture that we should, or are
following the principles and theories Of our
grandfathers This is a question every
practical farmer should ask himself Be-
cause our ancestors did everything by physi
cal labor,it is no reason why we should not
use all the labor-saving machines which oul
means justify.
Up to the year 1900, agriculture had beer
followed as the mechanical arts ID beer
pursued the farmers had no true idea o
the cause of the fertility of the soil, anC
since that time we have had many import
ant changes brought about by ingenious
mechanics, chemists and botanists, in re
gard to agricultural implements, constitu
ents of the soil, vital properties of plants
SC; and there is no doubt in the minds 0
men properly informed on the subject, tina
where science is properly applied to practi
cal agriculture, that the results will be al
salutary as the spring showers are to vege
tation. B.MB.

Training Heifers.

1t is very easy matter to train heifer
to stand quietly to be MIXED but it is an
easier matter to train them to jump, kick
and run. The way to teach them to stand
still is to always require them to do so-
The way to teach them the contrary is to
give them a good opportunity for doing so.
If there is naught to hinder a wild heifer
from running. and her fears prompt her to
run, she can and will run On the contrary,
if she cannot run, in a short time she loses
her fear, and stands from habit, and habit
is one of the most powerful influences in
this world, either for brute or man.
If you want to transform wild heifer III
to well-behaved, well-trained COW, you
must be patient, and exhibit no temper
Never strike or kick her. She must first of
all get acquainted with you, and learn that
you will not hurt her. She must learn not
to fear you. If, in winter, it is best to milk
in the stable, make as little fuss and as few
alarming motions as possible. Handle very
gently. Be careful and not pinch the teats.
This is great source of trouble A COW
naturally wishes to be rid of her milk. She
stands quietly until some careless mixer
has given a squeeze that hurts, when she
kicks and runs. By allowed such course
a few times, the habit will be confirmed
The best way to manage, if you have no
stable, is to have small, wellfenced yard,
and teach your heifers to stand for milking
in that, or, next best, to tie them, using
them very quietly. We have trained wild
young heiier to milk OF. the open prairie by
putting a rope about her horns and holding
the rope while milking, SO that if she star
ted we were ready to stop her, thus keep
ing ber under our control
No man or boy is fit to handle animals
unles he can control them, and control him
self Neither is it right to chastise the ig-
norant.-C0r. WeStern Rural.

KEEPING MILK AND CREAM SwEEr.-Everv
farmer should possess an ice-house They
who do not wish to go to much expense
can have them made altogether of lumber
above ground, according to the directions
we have often given. They would save
the expense in year, in the preservation
of milk, butter, poultry, meats, &c, inten-
ded for market or home consump ption.-
Where, however, it is inconvenient to have
an ice-house, it is good plan to make an
excavation in the cellar, say four feet by
six in the clear, and four feet deep; wall
up with brick or plank put good door
upon il with a small hole Gan inch auger
hole) in the top Of it for ventilation, and the
temperature will be reduced several de-
grees, preserving your cream, butter and
meats admirably.

ACTIVE MANURE.--One Of the most active
manures, and readily within the reach of
most f. rmers, is mixture Of leached ash
eS, plaster, and night soil mixed with fine
soil. Let them be thoroughly worked over
ON smooth spot, and allowed to stand
week before using, working it over every
other day, and you have most valuable
manure at triting cost of time A handful
OF this mixture in hill is excellent to give
corn start: Potatoes and garden vegeta-
bles generally feel it very quick. Hen ma
nure is an excellent ingredient in such ma
nures, but it should be we'll slaked with
water before mixing with other substances.
