How to Judge a Horse.
e Tart, Field and Farm.

From the Tuf, Field and Farm.
The following simple rules will be
found useful to all parties about to
buy horse:
/. Never take the sellers word ;
if dishonest he will be certain to
cheat you; if disposed to be tair ne
may have been the dupe of another,
and will deceive you through rep.
reservations which cannot be relied
upon.
2. Never trust to horses mouth
as a sure index to his age.
3. Never buy a horse while in
motion; watch him while he stands
at rest and you will discover his
weak points. IT sound he will
stand firmly and squarely on his limbs,
without moving any of them, the
feet planted flat upon the ground,
with legs plumb and naturally
poised. 1t one foot is thrown for
ward with the toe pointing to the
ground and the heel raised, or it the
foot is lifted from the ground and
the weight taken from it, disease OF
the vanicular bone may be suspected,
or at least tenderness, which is
precursor of disease. If the foot is
thrown out, the toe raised and the
heel brought down the horse has
suffered from lammltis, founder, or
the back sinews have been sprained,
and he is Of little future value.
When the feet are all drawn together
beneath the horse, if there has been
no disease there is displacement
Of the limbs at least and a weak dis
position OF the muscles. If the horse
stands with his feet spread apart or
straddled with the hind legs there is
weakness OF the loins, and the kid.
neys are disordered. When the
knees are bent and the legs totter
and tremble, the beast has been
ruined by heavy pulling and will
never be right again, whatever rest
and treatment he may have. Con-
tracted or i'll formed boots speak for
themselves.
4. Never buy a horse with a
blush or milky cast in his eyes.
They indicate a constitutional ten
dency to ophthalmia, moon blind
ness, &c.
5. Never have anything TO do
with horse who keeps his ears
thrown backward, this is an invari-
able indication OF bad temper.

clean without the use of litter. This
method was accordingly given up in
short time as Improbable, and is
now followed only in a few instances.
We need to consider, therefore, only
the use of such liquid manure, as
may be collected from the DRAWINGS
of the yard or the manure pile, and
can be cheaply distributed by gravity
or by carts.
First of all, suitable water tight
covered receptacle must be provided,
which should be deep rather than
shallow, and have capacity of ten
to twelve gallons for every adult
animal in the stalls, on the SUPPOSE
ton that it will be emptied once or
twice week. This tank may con-
sist simply OF a hogshead sunk in the
ground but it will be cheaper in the
long run if built OF stone, laid in
mixture OF coal.tar, pitch and sand,
liquetied by heat, or OF brick first
warmed and soaked in tar and then
laid In the same manner. The tank
should have a backing wall of clay.
a supply of water should be provided
in addition to that coming from the
stalls, which may be turned into the
tank at pleasure; with this the
manure can be diluted before it is
applied, and the manure pile can be
kept moist, for it will be poor policy
while making liquid manure to let
the solid manure burn up by too
rapid fermentation.
To prevent the loss of ammonia in
the liquid collected in the tank, from
five to ten pounds Of oil OF vitriol
may be added every two or three
months, or whenever any pungent
odor OF ammonia is given off; or,
since oil of vitriol may do so much
harm TO the person or the clothes if
not very carefully handled, the
floors of the stalls may be sprinkled
with solution of green yitriol from
time to time, using for this purpose
about five pounds of vitriol to every
ton of manure produced. For the
preparation of liquid manure on a
smaller scale the London Gardner
gives the following directions To
hogshead, sixty gallons, OF water
add bushel of horse manure, or OF
sheep manure, OF half bushel OF
hen manure or OF SCOT, or six pounds
Of Peruvian guano, stir the whole
from time to time for two or three
days, let the undissolved part settle
and use the clear liquor.

green, and the pale colored to light
green. Place the figs upon trays
made OF wooden slabs and expose TO
the sun, taking care not 10 allow the
dew to fall upon them. After few
days they are ready to be put away
ill small wooden boxes, first putting
a layer ofspice, laurel, or bay leaves
at the bottom and another on the
top. Put the lid on tight to keep
insects ont. Figs placed in dry
room will keep long time: Ii a
brick oven is convenient 1t will
greatly facilitate the drying process !;
care, however, much be taken not to
give too much heat. So soon as the
figs show signs of secreting syrup
they have been put under too high a
degree OF heat, and they will thus
make an interior article. Frequent
turning Of the fruit is necessary, and
after the second day it is advisable
to lightly press the fruit with the
hand so as to fiatten it. The light
colored varieties are preferred tor
drying, although some Of the brown
skinned kinds, especially the brown
Turkey, made very good article.

The manure water Of the yard,

ton containing all the needed lngre'
dents of plant food; it is Of course a
weaker or stronger solution accord
ing as it contains more or less water
in addition to that contained IN the
urine of the animals; it is always less
valuable for manure than the urine,
but is more complete manure since
it contains a little phosphoric acid,

How Figs are Dried.
N, the Neac York Times.

From the N ear l0lE IaMeS'
Figs may be dried for market
either in the sun or by artificial heat,
with the addition OF sugar. In the
former it is exposed to insects and
made wormy, and the mites which
infest figs, somewhat similar to the
scab or itch insect, may be conveyed
to it in the sugar if care is not taken
to procure such as is free from the
acarus, (IWogiyohus sacchar0,
which is found in raw sugar. Only
refined sugar should be used to roll
the FIGS in, to dry the syrupy exuda-
ton from the skin, which occurs in
oven drying. DR.. Berkmans, of
Georgia, suggests the following
method. Gather the figs when the
skin begins to crack, (Which is sign
OF maturity, and saccharine matter }
make a strong I've Of oak ashes, or
take common cooking SOFA dissolved
in hot water; quickly dip the figs in
the hot liquid and remove immedi-

or two, and repeat the dipping. 1t
the lye is hot and strong enough, the
color of the fig will Immediately

Of LIQUID manure prepared in various
ways, and consisting Of nearly unal-
tered and undiluted urine, OF the
same mixed with more or less water
and products OF the putrefactlon OF
small dead animals and other refuse
thrown into the tank, or OF mixing
together the solid aud liquid manure
of the stalls and drenching the whole
with large quantity of water, after
the Flemish system, the range OF
variation was found to be as follows
In 10000 parts, nitrogen, 10 to
forty parts, potash, 0.3 to fifty parts,
and phosphoric acid, 0.3 to O.8; 1t is
therefore manure of extensely varl-
able composition. One OF the poor
est OF these samples was prepared on
the farm OF Mr. Mechi, we'll known
for his earnest championship OF the
method of irrigation and liquid
manuring by a system OF pipes DIS
tributed over the farm $4,000
pounds Of it contained no more fer
tllizlng material than is contained In
200 pounds of good Peruvian guano.
The longer the manure has been
kept the poorer it is liable to be IN
nitrogen, owing to volatilizatlon OF
ammonia.
All the ingredients of the manure
are in solution. and they therefore
possess the highest trade value, SO
lar as they go, for plant food. In lOo
gallons OF the liquid, or 1,OOO pounds,
we have two pounds of nitrogen,
worth, at the trade valuation OF "a
cents, IS cents; five pounds OF
potash, at 6 cents, 80 cents; and
one pound OF phosphoric acid, worth
about l cent, making a total OF ~
cents 1000 pounds OF cows urine
would be worth, at the same rates,
$2.76, and of fresh stable manure,
with due allowance for the fact that
portion of the plant food in 1t is
insoluble, about $125.
COLLECTION AND PRESENTATION.
Some twenty years ago quite a
Juror prevailed in England with re,
gard to the method Of applying all
the manure in the liquid form, as
practiced in Flanders !; but besides
the expensive system of pipes that
must be provided for distributing
the liquid, pumping engines were
often required to carry the liquid to
the highest portions OF the farm, as
well as special arrangements OF the
stalls for keeping the cattle decently

extensively than ever. 1t is in some
cases used even when the ordinary
process is followed. There are three
establishments in or near George.
town for the manufacture of bisul-
phite of lime, so great is The demand.
The apparatus for the manufacture
of sugar is now wonderfully compact
and perfect. The improvements
likely to be made will, no doubt, be
in the substitution OF shallow evapor-
ating vessel for the taches or teaches
at present in use. ~
AS an Improvement upon this rude
process, separate detecting vessels or
CHARTERS, heated either by stem or
by the open fire, have been miro
duced on the majority OF estates, and
in some instances vessels in which
the defeating liquor is allowed to
subside previous to being run into
the coppers, have also been used with
| advantage.
For upwards ofthirty years vacuum
pals have been III use on some plan
tations in this colony. OF late years
their use has been greatly extended,
and, from present appearances, it Is
likely that at no distant date no inn
portant estate in the colony will be
without one. The advantages at
tending the use of the vacuum pan are
chiefly these
l. A much more speedy manutac-
ture of sugar than by the ordinary
process.
2. The production Of a sugar (gro-
Gerry quality which goes directly into
consumption, without passing through
the hands Of the refner.
3. The avoidance of all loss from
drainage on the homeward voyage.
The loss from drainage of molasses
Of common process sugars is esti-
mated at 10 per cent. OF the original
weight.
On plantations where the vacuum
pan is used the process may be thus
stated: AS the cane juice falls from
the mill rollers IL is mixed with
certain proportion malt per cent of
bisulphite OF lime. 1t is then thrown
up to the CHARTERS, and boiled by
means of steam. A due amount OF
milk OF lime is added, and the con.
tents of the clarifier allowed to re.
main at rest (half an hour) till the i'm
purities have settled, when the clear
Juice is run down tothe copperswall-
I In some cases filtration through bag
filters is practised as the juice leaves
the clarifer. On some estates the
contents of the CHARTERS, at a boiling
temperature, are run into subsiding
vessels, in which the sediment takes
place, from which the juice passes
either through bag filters or at once
to the copper wall. On the copper
wall the caue juice is evaporated to
a density of from 250 to 800 of
Beaume's saccharometer, when it is
either taken directly into the vacuum
pan, a. e., when crystals are formed
to the satisfaction of the pan boiler,
the contents are run into shallow
wooden coolers, and after short
time transferred in portions to the
centrifugal machines, syrup is used to
brighten the color, and in other cases
a small quantity OF water. Thesugar
is then removed from the centrifugal
machines, and at once packed into
hogsheads. The sugar thus manu-
featured in this colony is OF pale
straw color, uniform crystal (not too
large) OF great brilliancy, and dry. A
sugar perfect white and brilliant
could as easily be produced.
