SUGAR Nor AN ExHAUsTING Chop
The elements which compose pure
sugar are derived wholly from the
atmosphere; hence, if from cane
crop all but the sugar is returned to
the soil, cane may be cultivated on
the same land for any period without
exhausting it. The bagasse and
skimnings, and the impurities which
remain in the sirup and sugar. con-
tain elements which are derived from
the soil, and which, if not replaced,
must render the soil unproductive.
Phesphoric acid enters largely into
the composition of sugar canes.
This may be restored to the soil by
returning the bagesse or the ashes
produced from it, and the skimmings
or their equivalent. II fertilizers
are used, they should be such IS con-
tain the least ammonia. Fresh sta
BILE or barn yard manure, or Peruvian
guano, should not be used, for how
ever favorable the nitrogen which
they contain may be to vegetation in
general, their presence in excess is
inimicsl to success in sugar making.
Mexican and other guanos which are
eminent for the phosphoric acid they
contain, bone meal or well rotted
manure may be used on cane fields
freely.--Sorgo Journal.

LANGUAGE OF BEEs.-It is surpris-
ing how soon a single bee will i'm
part information to a whole family.
For instance, place piece of honey
comb, containing honey, where a
single bee will find it that bee will
fill its sack, and fly away 10 its hive,
and soon return with several other
bees. These will return to their hive
laden with honey, and soon come
back with score, or more, of bees;
and in about half an hour thousands
of bees will be employed in securing
the honey. By what particular meth
cd bees give information where
honey is to be found, has never been
discovered. 1t is not by sight, nor
by smell, that they discover it, be-
cause when honey is placed directly
in front of hive, and within few
inches of where hundreds of bees are
flying about. not the least notice is
taken Of it till seme have slighted by
chance upon it, when the inferma-
tion. is soon impaired to the family
that is there, and in a few minutes
there is rush of bees to secure the

w,rdrsu on Horses.

.,.avxr;ses to the Observer: I'VE
bsve been watching the paper ior =
remedy for windgalls. We have a
vslusbIe horse made lame by them
TT sny one viii give us sny informa-
fen With regard to the cause and
their treatment, through your valua-
bic paper, they will greatly ool'ge
u.s."
We can assign plausible and true
cause of windsalls, yet the remedy is
ouite another consideration, while
,,rerenfofire is still another thing.
Windgalls are the undue enlarge-
ments of small sacs on the limbs ei
horses. about the hacks and upper
pastern Joints. They are the natural
and certain results of hard driving
and straining the limbs by hauling,
or carrying heavy loads. Those
horses that have small and slender
limbs. are far more liable to hsve
windqalls than such as have large
and strong legs. When young hor-
ses are put to heavy work, are driv
en- beyond their strength, or required
to draw SO heavy loads that they
strain themselves, wIndgalls viii
soon appear on their legs. Horses
that have not been overworked nor
strained before they are six years old,
seldom have windgalls.
There are various ways OF treating
wipdgalls. Sometimes they are In
curabie; and the more they are tam
pered with, the worse it Is Tor the
animal. In some instances, the
cautery is employed to remove wind
gals. Yet ne one but 8 skiliful vete-
rinarian of extensive experience
should attempt to spply this remedy.
The best and most efficacious RENE
dy that we have ever met with, is to
procure a quarter Of pound OF ar
MICA flowers, at the drug store, put
it in a bottle, and fill the bottle with
whiskey, and cork it tightly. After
it has stepped about one day, let the
windgalls be bathed thoroughly with
this LIQUID. Bathe and rub the legs
and windgalls well for five minutes
with water, previous to applying the
arnica and whiskey. If the horse is
young, gentle driving AMI a thorough
application of this remedy, will al
most always effect cure after few
months. Windgslls on the legs OF
old horses will sometimes yield to
the remedy. Yetin many instances
the old horses will need TO be reju-
vented before his windgalls can be
cured.

Of an article in your paper Of the 18th inst;
on reading which, however, it is discovered
that only report of such confession was
in circulation 1t is well known that Mr.
stephen Gilbert, who has been almost mi
raculously rescued from the grave, by the
amputation of a limb, is the party who is re-
ported to have made this confession. When
this report first reached me, it was that the
confession had been made to the surgeons
who performed the operation. | at once
said it could not be true, as | was present
on that occasion, and felt confident that, if
such confession had been made, il would
have been made to me. ], however, called
on one of the surgeons who assured me
that no such confession was made to him, or
to any one in his presence; and as all the
