The best method of applying liqui
is to spread it from a large cas-
or tank mounted upon wheels. Ii ca
only be conveniently spread upon gras
or Young crops. and it Is hardly probs
BILE that it al be done economically
The better way would be to absorb tn
liquids of the manure by the additio
of litter of some porous kind. and
nothing better can be procured. cart
or sand may be used. This can b
spread with less trouble than liqui
manure and unless it is require
for garden or market crops, youn
corn or grass, or similar purposes, tn
dry manure will be most convenient
At present it will not pay to use sue
laborious methods with comm IN farl
crops, because the ordinary method
can be applied as effectively and MOI
cheaply.
, The common adulterant for vinega
il sulphuric acid. which is used on ~
count of its intense sOurness. Its pre-
ence may be detected as follows: boil u
suspected vinegar in a glass or porcelai
! vessel with a little solution of calcium
, chloride. This is made by diluting h,
drochloric acid with four times th
quantity of water and adding powdere
, chalk or marble-dust until no furths
e~ffervesence is caused by adding chal
or marble. The solution is filtered IL
use. If sulphuric acid exists in th
vinegar. a precipitate of gypsum (su
> phate of lime) is thrown down on mi
, ing the solution with the vineg.
, Vinegar is also adulterated by addin
. infusion of acrid substances, as peppe
!, mustard-seed, etc. These may be d.
{ tected by evaporating a small quanti'
, of the vinegar to concentration. an
the taste will reveal the foreign sui
stance.
