INTER-" IN MAPLE SUGAR.

There has recently been considerable dis
cussion as to the occurrence and composition
of the so-called inter found in the manu-
facture Of maple sugar. The experiences Of
different makers vary greatly, and, indeed, if
the chemical testimony is to be relied upon,
the composition Of the substance is not uni
form. Some specimens have been pronounced
tartrate of lime, others phosphate of lime,
though generally it has been regarded as ma
late of lime.
A sample recently analyzed by me proved
to be nearly pure malate Of lime and since
the investigation of this substance may tend
to throw light upon some chemical points in
vegetable physiology, shall be glad to re-
ceive samples from our different makers for
analysis, and any information concerning the
matter. A few important points requiring
the observation of our sugar-makers are in
cluded in the questions given below;
l. Size Of tree producing inter; expos.
ure first or second growth.
2. Locality; upland or lowlaud; charac.
ter Of soil aud rocks of locality hard or soft
water of vicinity.
3. Time during season when " inter makes
its appearance.
4. Comparison with former years as tc
quantity.
5. Any difference in appearance from year
to year.
6. Strength of syrup when thrown down.
Z. Any observations apparently connect
ing its appearance with heavy SHOWS, lat
seasons, quantity of sugar obtained, &C., &c
Any one obtaining such information will
confer favor by communicating the result

made still another improvement in one
horse swivel plows, with reversible side
draft, which works itself automatically and
gives the horse the iurrow both ways, while
the pillow runs in the land.
| notice your correspondent speaks Of the
ease Of draft of steel plows. Now, the
draft depends mostly on the inclination and
smoothness of the mold-board Of the plow,
for the more pointed the wedge the easier il
drives and as to smoothness of surface, my
experience in mechanical business goes TO
show that judicious admixture of cast iron,
that is sufficiently hard, is susceptible of as
smooth polish by the soil as the rolled
plate of steel that is manufactured into
of iron will outwear steel plow. have
seen steel plows worn through in two years
of ordinary plowing, and that too, called
hardened STEEL Now, cast iron suitable for
plows will stand more wear than that.
In his intimaton that one-third Of the la
Dor, in draft, Of both team aud man is saved,
take it he means it to be in difference Of
weight in the plows, provided one is as
smooth as the other. Now let us look at
that in its different lights: We will say
that the steel plow is not so heavy by one
half, and that the inclination, smooIhness,
and size of board is equal. 1t then follows
that there is the same friction of sides aud
mold-boards of both; now add the extra
thickness, aud how much does it cost to draw
| it without friction? Now in another light
Ny experience mas taught me that weigh. in
a plow is very desirable in many soils, es-
pecially in pebbly and stony soils, which con-
stitute large portion Of our eastern farms,
for this reason, which l have particularly
noticed, that when a light plow strikes a
pebble out comes the plow, but when the
heavy weight is once in motion, out comes
the pebble by the momentum of weight.
Now IN conclusion would say that in my
opinion steel is good substance to make
plOws Of, provided they are made thicker on
points where most needed aud | would ad.
wise all men who want steel plows to have
them, but as for the man who thinks differ
emily, or one who wants to go on a cheaper
scale, let him buy pow that is firstly
ground bright and every inch Of whose sur
face will bear equally on the furrow, anC
then take as much pains to keep it bright
the year round rs he would feel bound to dc
to more costly steel plow, and my word
for it he will make equally as good work.

ENGLISH RADICALS FIFTY
YEARS SINCE.
BY ROBERT DALE OWEN.

In those days Jeremy Bentham was
my favorite author, and I was deeply
read in his Principles of Morals and
Legislation. From him and from my
father I accepted the theory that utility
is the test and measure of virtue; and
this caused me to fall IN with what I
now regard as one of Robe.t Owens
mistakes to wit, the assuming enlighten-
ed selfishness at the most Trustworthy
basis of elevated morality. In the in
PRODUCTION to the accout Of our school
system I find myself saying " > clear
knowledge and distinct conviction of the
necessary consequences of any particular
line of conduct is all that is necessary
to direct the child in the way he should
go provided common justice be done to
him in regard to the other circumstances
which surround him IN infancy and
childhood. The publication of these
and similar opinions procured for me,
some time afterward, an interesting in
PRODUCTION. Having accompanied my
father on one of his visits to London, I
told him that much wished to make
Jeremy Bentham's acquaintance. He
replied that Bentham's aversion to new
faces was such that his most intimate
friends could not take the liberty even
to propose an introduction, unless he
had himself expressed a desire on the
subject. But a week or two later he
informedme that thehad visited Bentham,
who said to him, in his abrupt way
"Owen, like that son of yours. I've
been reading his book. Send him to
see me, viii you? No, I'll write him
myself"
Ten days later had an invitation to
his symposium, as he sometimes called
his o'clock evening meal at which,
however, there was abundance to eat as
well as to drink the profane vulgar
would have called it a late dinner-and
a very good one. I preserve a most
agreeable recollection of that grand old
face, beaming with benignity and In
teIIigence. and occasionally with touch
Of bumor, which I did not expect, The
portrait of him which IS prehxed to the
later English editions Of his Morals and

him then, at the age Of 78, six years
before his death.
I do not remember TO have met any
one of his age who seemed to have more
complete possession Of his faculties,
bodily and mental and this surprised
me the more because I knew that, in
his childhood, he has been a feeble
limbed, frail boy, precocious, indeed

is sometimes spoken of as indispensable

game, and to settle upon the one kanga-
roo which the sportsman may select.
And, indeed. there is the further diff
Guilty Of getting the men who are out to
join in the same choice. The hounds
scatter and the men scatter, and it viii
often happen that man is attempting
to ride down a kangaroo without a hound
making the same attempt without a
rider. We found kangarOos in very
large mObs, on one occasion I should
think some hundreds of them together.
On such occasions a great deal of cross
riding takes place before any united ac-
ton can be effected. IF possible, very
large, or " "old-man kangaroo should
be cut out and followed. They are very
stout in running, but not so fast as the
does and young ones. If a young
kangaroo gets the chance of falling
ground IN his favor, he bounds at every
leap to such a distance that it is imposs-
ible to keep near him. It is, of course,
known by all readers that the kangaroo
runs, or rather jumps, with his hind
legs only. When not molested, his
arms come near to the ground, but,
when pursued, he carries them high,
and looks like some mixture of a man
and deer springing through the forests.
The pace in hunting them is always very
quick, and it Is necessary to turn with
the greatest rapidity among the forest
trees. Ten minutes or a quarter of an
hour viii generally see the end of run.
By that time either the hounds are at
the throat of the animal, or else he has
made good his escape. We killed, I
think, seven in two days, and had other
runs in which we lost our prey. The
'old-man kangaroo, when hard press
ed, viii turn round and fight the
hounds, or fight the man who comes up
to knock him over. And he fights with
great power, infiicting trrribIe wounds
with his fore-paws.
In New South Wales I saw a kangaroo
which we were hunting catch up ter
rier in his arms, and carry the little AMI
NAL in his embrace throughout the run.
He was not, however, able to hurt the
dog, who, when the affair was over,
seemed to come quite undismayed out
of his difficulty. And [ saw also a fe-
male kangaroo, when the hounds. were
after her, throw her kid out of the
pouch in which she carriedit. On that
occasion the kid was killed and the
mother escaped. They VIII carry their
young one as long as it is possible for
them, and then throw him out almost
without losing a stride.
In this hunting there is not much
Jumping but what there is requires a
very quick horse. The turns are rapid,
and the ground is strewed by postrate
forest-trunks. There is danger, too,
of riding against trees. This. on one
occasion, did with great force and
could not use my leg for six weeks after
the accident. In default, however, of
any thing better, kangaroo-hunting is
good sport.
