= elf you are fond of pure vexston

Well, men will have differences that

as long as human nature is perverse and
wilful, aud men will wrong their fellow

PRESERVATION or WINE BY HEAT-ln a memoir
upon the employment of an elevated temperature
for the improvement aud preservation of wines,
yergneite- Lamotte gives the following conclusions
"A the result Of his experiments:
l. If we heat new wines rich in soluble matters
we give them tho character of the wines oi Spain
and Portugal
, In the application of heat. we must take into
consideration the amount of alcohol contained IN
the wine; its yinosity proportion of alcohol per
mitting us to lower the degree of heat needfu for
its improvement and conservation.
g. The age of a wine has very great influence
upon the character which it presents after heating.
This process does not succeed with old wines
4. 1t is equally necdful to take account Of the
time the wine has been in the wood and in bottle
s. Heating gives in general excellent results with
white wines. In applying it to new wines. still rich
in soluble matters preserve in them that precious
onality technically known as 4" hqueur."
e. The degree of heat is capital point; that suta
BILE for superior kinds Of Burgundy, rich in alcohol,
is 1l2oF. There exist in fact, for each vine pecu-
liar conditions of heating.
Passing from the effects of heat TO those of freez
ing. Vergnette-Lamot!e considers that light wines
containing little alcohol aud little acid and very
thin may have their value doubled by freezing
His process is of no use either for common wines
for those which already possess all the qualities de
manded from trstrate vintage.

IMPORTANCE OF SILK IN THE SoIL.-Silica gives
hardness and stiffness to the straw and leaves of
cereal grain. When wheat or rye is sown where
brush-heap or pile of logs has been burned TO ashes
the straw will be unusually stiff, and the leaves
much harsher than other straw growing in the
vicinity, but away from the area OF the burning.
The potash of the ashes and the silica found in the
soil are taken up by the growing plants, and form
coating of liquid glass; which is spread evenly over
the straw and leaves of the growing grain, as a
metallic coat of arms used IN old times to
cover the body of soldier When the growing
straw of wheat il incosed in thin
tube of elastic glass, the innumerable
spores which frequently fill the entire atmosphere
like flakes of snow, and which produce rust, do not
find congenial place for their lodgment and COM
plcte development. But when the plants do not
have access TO generous supply of slicate and pot
ash the stems are so timber that they are easily
prostrated by driving storms, so that the ears of
grain will be developed only in part. When silica is
available only in small quantities the spores from
which fungi spring adhere to the leaves and stems
where they find suitable spot for their develop
men and thus the productiyeness of the plant is Sc
rousy impaired. The practical value of silica is
further perceived in the yield of excellent fruit III
the soil near apple or a pear tree, that has
hitherto borne knotty and rusty fruit receive
"A liberal dressing of sand, which supplies silica,
and of wood-ashes, which furnish the potash
the substances required to make glass-Na-
ture will employ those ingredients. to great
extent in covering the leaves with an elastic glass,
and the fruit with thick transparent varnish, pro-
duced from the silica and potash which will protect
! the leaves from blight. aud the fruit from rust,
scales and cracks This fact has been demonstrated
repeatedly IN frutproducing localities. where
wood ashes or coal ashes have been scattered around
about pear trees and apple trees so literally that all
grass and weeds destroyed. Flint sharp sand,
and quartz are composed for the most part OF silica.
Hence the propriety Of miogling Scourmgsand with
the soil in which flowers are cultivated Divest the
soil of all silica aud alLali where useful plants and
beautiful flowers are TO be grown, and notone would
