Sugar Making.

Mr.. Editor, Dear SRI attended the
agricultural meeting ut East IIardwicl
and was very much interested in the dis
chssions, and especially in the remarks Of
Dea. Stevens. | can endorse nearly all
he said and q great deal more, and having
been in the habit of making from one &c
two tons of maple sugar in year, for Il
number of years, will give little of my
experience. | was greatly troubled to
separate the malate of lime, (nitre for the
common name), and by mere accident |
learned how to take it all, or nearly all
out. In syruping off | let one batch boil
down until it would nearly all grain, and
| thought | must make it into syrup so Us
to strain and settle, and so poured in hot
sap enough to make it rather thin syrup,
and in the morning was surprised to find
almost complete separation of the nitre
from the syrup, and found the sugar
almost entirely free from nitro. And
also found the sugar was fully us white
and would sell to the dealers Just US well
with all the nitre in rs with ii all out.
and my tubs would weigh from forty-nine
to tifty-one pounds with the nitre taken
out, and from tifty-five to lify.seven
pounds with it all in. also found that it
was no use to strain the syrup My way
is to strain the sap twice, once through a
coarse cloth when it is put into the draw
tub, and then through very fine one, and
by so doing you have nothing to color
your sugar and nothing you can strain out.
Then boil it until it begins to grain, and
then if you wish TO take the nitre out,
dip it out into tall syrup tubs, and to every
four pailsful Of the sugar put one pailfuI
of boiling sap and you will find it works
to perfection. | have taken out of two
hundred and fifty pounds of sugar twenty
pounds of nitre when dry, weighed on
Fairbanks scales, and much nearer the
color of lime than ashes. If did not
wish 10 take out the nitro. would simply
boil the syrup about ten minutes longer,
or until it was done enough, put it into
tubs and it would be ready for market.
My experience in regard to sples or
spouts differs somewhatfrom Dca Stevens
| find the round tin spouts that encircled the
hole would run more sap, both early and
late, than any other that have ever tried,
and | have tried most all kinds. intend
ed to give some of my experience with
swamp muck and ashes. but my epistle is
already too long OBSERVER.

FEEDING HoRsEs.-A great diversity o.
opinion prevails Us to the best method OF
feeding horses, and mistakes are frequent
y made by neglecting TO give. suitable
attention to the matter. We have known
farmers who were accustomed to throw a
lock of hay to their horses several times
during the forenoon or afternoon, and
when not at work the Horses would be
kept eating the whole day, consuming
much more hay on such days than they
would require when at work. This prac-
tice cannot fail to iniure horse seriously.
if continued any length of time. Horses
are frequently injured by overlooking. A
herse should no more have all the hay he
can eat than child should all the bread
and fruit he can eat. Regularity and
moderation are rs important in the one
case as in the other. Driving horses are
sometimes fed on cut straw and meal
without any hay, Or very little. This is
good food for horses, as has been proved
in many instances. Some believe that six
or eight quarts Of meal per day, with
fifteen to twenty pounds of good hay. is
enough for almost any horse, and better
than more. OF course horse that works
all the time needs more food than one that
does but little. Some horses consume, and
seem to need more food than others doing
the same work. The hay should be cut, or
mostly SO, and fed with meal, wet. Crack
ed corn TO be fed with oats Il part of the
time is recommended by some. Smoky
hay is especially liable to induce Il cough,
and should be carefully avoided. If horses
are fed mostly on hay, it should be of good
quality, well cured and fed in moderate
quantities three times day. But it is the
opinion of those best acquainted with
horses that they can be kept in better
condition by feeding some grain than by
giving them hay alone, and if horses are
in constant use, grain in some form is a
necessity. Michigan Farmer.

STOCK BARN.-I will give you a des-
cription of dairy barn that / built last
summer. that find very convenient, and
by making n horse stable of the bay, it
may be what your correspondent may
want.
1t is built east of my house, on.ground
that descends 10 the northeast about six
feet in elevation. The cattle yards are on
the north and east side and end. The
barn is forty by sixty-twO feet. twenty feet
posts on the south side, and sixteen feet at
west side, TWENTY-FIVE feet posts on the
north, fourteen feet at the west end and
the north side. This is for COW stables,
and the drop of two feet on the west end
is for convenience of getting into the COW
stable. and to save stair work. You will
see by the location that in the first place
we reach the barn from the house without
going through any COW yard, or going up
or down any steps. The posts ont the east
end are twentyfou feet. We 90 into the
COW and calf stables from the east, and it
is graded up about two feet; so it is dry.
You will see the wall on the south side is
four feet higher than the east end. and
two feet on the north. Sixteen feet from
the west end of the barn there is a cross
wall. four feet high, running north twenty
six feet, or to the COW stable. This sixteen
feet is used for a bay. and would make II
good horse stable. East of the cross wall
| it is graded down to four feet below the
south sill and level with the east sill.
Then three feet above the sill there is
ioist put in for two driveways, and hoored
over eighteen feet. In the balance of the
space left over the COW stable the floor is
a foot higher. The west end of the cow
stable floor is one foot higher than the east.
That makes it convenient getting into the
stable. The COW stable runs the whole
length of the barn, sixtytwo feet long and
| fourteen feet wide.
There are nineteen stanchions three feet
apart. That leaves space on the west
end of the stable for getting around.
There is small door that opens into the
yard from the west end of the COW stable,
for convenience. The COW stable floor is
four feet ten inches at one end and four
feet two inches at the other. The gutter
is six inches deep and eighteen inches
wide, with dirt walk behind the cows.
They like to walk on that better than on
the floor. The manger is two feet, six or
eight inches wide, and two feet deep with
the bottom slantng toward the cattle, and
walk two feet wide ahead of the cows
for feeding them.
There is meal bin under the first
driveway and ahead of the cows, fourteen
by six feet on the top, and two feet at the
bottom. At the end of the bin there is a
pair of stairs leading to the upper floor

LARGE FARMS IN AMERICA.-If The
owner OF fifty acres draws out one hundred
loads of manure yearly the owner of twice
that amount will hardly make more thar
one hundred and fifty loads. lie will
have huge stacks that can neither be eater
nor otherwise worked up. Straw anc
even hay, will be sold instead of being fet
upon the farm. Unless the large firme,
resorts to other expedients, his land will
not be as productive per acre AS that Of
the man who cultivates 4 smaller area
French farmers have long subdivided theil
land until each is restricted to IL small
holding, often not more than an acre. But
the minute attention and thorough culture
which each rood thus. receives we can
scarcely conceive. 1t will help us to
understand the result when we learn that
on IL territory about four times rs large as
New York state France sustains a pppu]a-
ton of thirty-six millions, produces most
of the food they eat, besides the sugar,
which this country does not produce equal
to its consumption, and has besides wine,
oil and other articles to export. To do
this requires not only industry, but such
productiveness of soil as shows good man.
agement and increasing fertility.
The whole tendency of American farm
ing is the cultivation of larger areas.
Land is cheap in most sections of the
country, and can be easily obtained. 1t
is no wonder, then, that American farms
have generally been large, nor that with
dear labor, and often an impossibilty of
getting help when needed, that they should
be frequently poorly cultivated. Labor
machinery is remedying this last difficulty
but it is also enabling farmers to cultivate
larger areas with the same or less help.
Hence, the tendency in nearly all the old
settled districts is to consolidate farms
one wealthy farmer buying out those
adjoining him, pulling down line and
other fences, making larger fields, and
doing more of required work with the aid
of labor saving machinery.-Iwf, Field
and Farm.
