A Balloon Catastrophe.
From the TimeS.J

There is every reason to fear that
Mr.. Walter Powell, NJ. p, who was
carried cut to sea in a balloon in the
neighbodrhood of Bridport on Satur-
day Go Dec.) has persisted in the Eng
lish Channel. The accident is Ally
detailed IN the letter which we pub

Europe, and apparently the balance
lies in favor Of the covered pens,
both for the health and comfort Of
the cattle and for the due conserva-
ton OF the manure. In this equable
climate however, the animals proba-
bly, do far better in an open pen than
in a covered one, and looking at the
great expense Of roofing OF any kind,
the danger of fire, and the compare
lively small reinfall, the open pens
would seem preferable. There is
plenty of room for the disbursement
Of cash in other and more paying
Agricultural improvements.
The sun and wind acting on
manure lying freely exposed in an
open pen do certainly absorb or dis
perse many valuable constituents in
it, but a careful Manager can guard
greatly against this by causing a
layer of bush, trash, stable refuse
&c. to be spread evenly over the pen
once or twice q week, thereby also
atlording a good and comfortable bed
for the cattle.
On the coffee Estates in CeylOn,
the practice is resorted to of having
a large pit close to the cattle house,
and into which the whole of the litter
is swept two or three times a week.
In this pit hogs are kept, who very
speedily, with their roofing propen-
sites and their sharp pointed feet,
convert the long litter into short well
consolidated stuff fit for early use as
manure On the coffee estates in
til" ~Gh~varoy Hills Of Southern India,
me write, has seen oats kept for
manuring pa. oses They we. > pas
tured on tie hiil sides in the day, and
at night were shut up in a house
built on a sloping site, the floor of
which was constructed of Jolsts' laid
about an inch or SO apart.
The whole of the manure from the
animals fell through the ihterstIces
of the floor into a cellar below,
whence it was removed as required.
1t would seem as if the focks of sheep
ON many of our Estates might well
be kept in houses or pens of this con-
struction. Sheep and goat manure,
ii may be mentioned, has been prov.
ed to be more valuable for sugar
cane than almost any other.
With the above brief remarks the
series of articles on our sugar Indus
trv is now brought to a close. In
the writer's opinion, looking at the
fertility of st. Croix, its geographical
position with regard to its p~ropinquity
to America, and its being on the
line of the future great highway of
the world Via the Panama Canal the
Island ought to flourish anddowell.
Our great want is huSbandry pure
and simple, and to this end the estab-
li>hment Of a peasant proprietary,
the leasing of Estates Ito a greater or
less degree) to Europeans willing
and able to cultivate them, and the
extended operations of the Factory
are all desirable. The speculative
tendencies, so often seer with regard
to the purchase and sale of Estates
initiate against our general welfare,
and are much to be deprecated.

consideration are the Live and Dead
Stock necessary for estate purposes,
and the mode Of procuring a due
supply of manure, without which,
in the effete condition Of the cane
pieces from continuous cropping,
Sugar Planting can, with us, hardly
be carried on as a re%munerative
Industry.
With regard to the Live Stock, it
may be safely laid down as an axiom
that until some Improvement takes
place in our cartmen, it is waste Of
money to place valuable mules in
their hands, for to hand over to
Quasshy's care n team of imported
American Mules worth from $1,000
to $1,000 either to plough with or to
cart produce to town, is in the long
run, a very expensive proceeding.
Taking into consideration the wear
and tear of harness the first cost of
the males and their more or less
expensive keep, it is probable that
the Use Of oxen Is more economjca!.
Oxen work well in Il team, but it
is a question whether they 90 so as
pairs in ordinary carts, as they are
clumsy and awkward in turning,
backing &c. and rendered still more
clumsy and awkward by the treat
ment they receive at the hands Of the
cartmen. For ordinary estato use,
the tough and hardy creole. i
answer very well, but instead Of the
avkwardly harlessed and still more
awkwardly driven pair Of mules to be
seen in our present heavy box carts,
a cart Of lighter construction and
drawn by one mule only would seem
preferable. The second mule is, as
often as not, made, by ignorant
driving, to be a hinderanco rather
than an aid to his companion IN the
shafts, while rs for the loads, they
would be Just as large in the one
mule cart as in the present box cart
drawn by a pair of mules, depending,
as they generally do, not IN the size
of the cart, or on the strength of the
mules, but on Quasshy's idefOf what
constitutes a load, lie. as little as
possible, riding on the cart being far
easier to him than throwing manure
&c into it, and so if he can manage
to do in two journeys what ought to
be done in one he is we'll pleased.
1t is a mistake to suppose that adding
a second mule to a cart doubles at
once the draught power, the percen,
tage of added power is perhaps only
so, even under the most careful driv-
ING; it is also Il mistake to suppose
that the biggest mules are best fitted
for the shafts. SIort-legged, stout
mules do best in the shafts, and tall,
leggy animals in the lead, for with
the smaller animals in the lead, much
of their poweri is expended in useless
ly bearing down on the backs Of the
w~herlers, and in needIessIy fatiguing
them. Simplicity in harness is Il
great pointto be aimed at. the fewer
straps, buckles &c. the better, and
as far as possible every buckle to be
on the %"near" side of the animal.
