fairs and perceive that it will shortly have
to deal with a large body of people whose
powers Of self-reliance and intelligence are
being called forth in a very marked way,
and whose interest in the laws and regula-
lions more nearly affecting them will be
largely increased.
1t is also to be hoped that coincident
with this spread of selfreliance and intel
llgence, the ministers of the different de-
nominations may now be able to effect
some Improvement in the moral tone of our
newly-made %peasantry, and that some de-
clded steps may be taken to lessen the
foul blot on our civilization, the almost to-
tai disregard of the Institution of Marriage
and its attendant duties, on account of
which our island is at present paying the
penalty by a decrease in population at the
trightful rate of 1900 per decade.
At the late meeting of shareholders of
the Colonial Bank in London, the Chair
man alluded to the marked increase of
fruit cultivation in the West Indies for the
American markets. If our Government is
unable to do anything to obtain us a better
price for our sugar, it might be advisable
to petition for the granting Of a subsidy to
one of the New York and Brazil steam
snip lines to induce its steamers to call
regularly at both C~hriStiansted and Frede-
riksted, for were a regular and speedy
transit afforded to New York, we might,
in a small way, do what Jamaica is now so
successfully doing, and obtain a good mar
ket for the pines, oranges, bananas, cocoa
nuts sc. which We know can be grown SO
readily in st. Croix.

J a litre to l litre OF "Trisulphate of
Lime" at 120 10 every 1000 litres of
liquor. The object of this operation
is to completely paralyze the action
of the Preventative matter and there
by impede the production of the grea-
sy OIL gummy matters, as also the
coloring ofthe liquor produced by the
oxidation of the organic substances.
Thus is obtained a species OF re-
fnement which would he neyerthe
less more etficacious if the quantit, Of
'Trisulphate' were a little augmented.
This method is very good for those
manufactures where they do not
whiten the liquor with lime; 1t is still
more advantageous for those which
do make use OF lime, for the associa-
ton of "Trisulphate of Lime" and
lime give excellent results.
1t allows of less use of lime in the
refinement, which is very eful for
the manufactures in which ttev
Use the apparatus for whitening with
lime, because an excess Of lime de-
stloys notable proportions of the
crystallizable Sugar.
Our system for making Muscovado
Sugar rests principally on this basis:
10 paralyze at its birth the destruc.
tive elements of the Sugar; it is for
this reason that we ought to persist
in it, with regard to the planters to
make them understand what an eff
cacious help. we offer them. In effect,
the lamentations, reduced to an inert
state,no more rcjudicing the crystalli,
cation, the production is much great
er, as then all ~noxious cause disap-
pears from the crystallization; besides
this first operation subsists neverthe-
less u small amount of organic matter
as we'll as the salts Of lime, potash
and soda in the syrup, when it has
been concentrated to 25 or 800
Baume.
10 eliminate completely the foreign
matters from the Sugar we will re-
heat the syrup to a medium tempera-
ture of250 and SO on gradually, after
having mixed Ia litres of .'Trisul-
phate o tlime" at 100 with 800 hectic
litres of syrup at 25o.
We raise the temperature up to
ebulition, we take away the dregs, if
there are any, and afterwards send the
syrup thus prepared to the filters and
from there to the boiling house.
1t must be we'll observed that The
syrup ought always to be alkaline,
some planters whiten the liquor with
lime, others not, but that our process
may supply the whole effect, a small
quantity of lime is necessary in the
syrup, so before using our "Trisul-
phate" a little lime dissolved in water
may be thrown into the syrup.
BY this process, which does not ex-
act any particular sort of apparatus,
is obtained a very white crystalliza-
ton OF Sugar, very dry, and above all
very abundant.
There is another method that we
highly recommend to the planters
who are careful about the yielding of

NEW METHOD OF EMPLOYING
{" TRISULPHATE OF LINE" IN
THE MANUFACTURE OF
CANE SUGAR..
(by Messrs. MuIIenhoff & Korber, Pto. Rlco]

Our system, as we'll as the article
that we manufacture, have nothing in
common with what has been done
up to the present.
By means OF special apparatus we
obtain a pure production exempt from
SuIphuric acid, of a continual concen-
t%ration, and giving always excellent
results
The greatest enemies in the manu-
fncture of Sugar are the organic
matters called greasy or gummy mat
ters, and the salts of Lime, Potash
and Soda.
These are the productions that.
mixed in the Sugar, exercise an ac-
ton over the crystallization So noxi-
Gus that they rerder il often very la

bic Sugar into uncrystaI!izabie Su-
gar, and that in great proportions, be-
cause canes, which have $50 If
Sugar, yield only from S 10 9oIo of
crytallizable Sugar.
In the manufacture of Beet root
Sugar these effects were very sensi
bly, felt, but not to be compared with
what is exercised by a very elevated
temperature in the Colonies and tropi-
cal countries.
It was therefore urgent that a pro-
cess should be discovered which
would resist the morbific effects of
fermentation.
Guided then by careful trial, which
has left no doubt as to the results, we
hasten to explain our mode of en-
ploying it.
First we ought to mention that the
B~isulphate of Lime has already been
tried in Sugar, and if the effects have
not correspondent to the efforts of the
promoter of this process it is because
the Bisulphate used was not pure,
not containing sulphuric acid in great
proportions, and thereby was more
noxious than advantageous to its
manufacture, considering that sui
phuric acid possesses the immense
property of destroying the crystalliza-
BILE Sugar.

looked forward to with some interest
by the planters, and indeed by the
inhabitants of the island generally,
as being the date of the first weekly
prices of the Central Factory's Cam
paign for the present year, as fixed
by the Sugar Price Committee.
The price fixed, viz: S2.10 per
l00lbs. of sugar, was somewhat high
er than, judging from the market
prices in England and America, might
have been anticipated, but the rates
of exchange, lowness of freight &c.
told in the planters favor. Last
year the opening price, fixed on the
3rd of March, was 1926 per 100lbs.,
and the closing price for the generali-
ty of the estates, fixed on the 4th
Augus', was 1885, falling the follow
ing week to S2.24.
The Factory has, therefore, opened
its campaign for 1885 at a price
equivalent to $3.50 per hid. Of 1900
lbs. nett, as against $41, its average
price per HID. in 1874, and $50, the
nominal price for many years previ-
ously. In other words 100lbs. Of
cane is worth at present a trihe over
123 cents, as against "a cenls two
years age.
The low carts employed by the
squatters carry about lO00lbs. nett
weight of cane, and if one considers,
when watching these carts on the
road, that every load of canes is worth
only S1.26, instead of $40 as for
merly. the very great depreciation in
our staple produce will become for
cIb'y apparent.
The Estates manufacturing ut home
are in a far worse condition than
those s~ending their canes to The
Factory, there bring literally no mar
ket for either rum or molasses, and
nc chance of there being a market, as
far as one can Judge, for a long time
to come.
The increase in the number Of
squatters cnltivating cane for sale to
the Central Factory is, this year, very

now supplying ane to the Factory,
and in this way, making allowance for
a prOportionate amount of cutters, at
least 1000 Of our labourers are en-
ployed on their W account.
There is every sign that next year
the number of squatters will still fur
Their be largely increased, end should
the price of sugar recover to anything
like its former value, we may eventu-
ally expect such a serious increase in
the number as to very greatly inter
fere with the due cultivation of the
estates. Indeed, the difficulty as to
labour in taking off the present crop
OF the estates, especially of those ma
.n%ufacturing at home, is already begin
ming to be felt.
Looking at matters in a broad and gen.
eroas light, the formation of a hard-work-
ing peasantry in the island, as brought
about by the Central Factory System,
should, nevertheless, be a subject of con-
gratul alton, and while the support afforded
by them to the Factory itself is becoming
of no small Importance, the supplies of

Sorsc Department.

The steadily-growing popularity of the
Morgan horse, and the increasing demand
for animals bred from the best existing
lines of that blood. with pedigrees that can
be vouched for as authentic, has led the ed
itors of this department to undertake the
collection and veriication as far as posi-
BILE, of Morgan pedigrees from the time of
the original Justin Morgan to the present.
In connection with this work we are also
investigating the pedigrees of all trotting
horses that have proved their powers of en-
durance by trotting fifty or more public
and recorded races each. We have already
received from original sources IA large
amount of important information in both
these lines, much of which will be given in
these columns For the completion of our
work, which will be published IN book
form, we want pedigree, description and
history of every meritorious stallion de-
scended in direct male line from Justin Nor
gan that has ever been used for stock pur-
poses. Blanks for this information will be
furnished free on application. Questions of
public interest concerning Morgan horses
will be answered in this department. All
communications in this department may be
addressed to w. IL. Bliss, Rochester, Vt.

1t has already been a matter of con-
sideration with me what could be done
by the department to lessen the losses
from communicable diseases among
sheep. So far the flocks of this country
have been free from the terrible disease
of the old world known as sheep poX,
but it is serious question if we should
not impose short quarantine on
imported sheep to secure us against the
introduction of this and other diseases.
The scab of sheep, while not so prevail
ent as in former years, still causes heavy
losses in some portions of the country.
The department is also in receipt of
information that the western and par
ticularly the southwestern ranges have
become so infested with tapeworms as
to threaten the destruction of the in
dustry in those sections. The States
on the Southern atlantic seaboard have
been talked and written about as Pc
culiarly suited to sheep husbandry, but
in spite of the attention given to the
subject sheep husbandry has not in
creased there as we have had reason to
expect. Why is this? Many have gone
there and attempted to go into sheep
growing on large scale, but for some
reason they have given it up and failed
to realize their anticipations. The rea-
son for this, am told, is a mysterious
disease, which almost certainly appears
when sheep are kept there in tlocks of
any considerable size. 1t is called rot,
but it differs from the rot of Europe in
not being caused by the fluke-worm in
the liver. The symptoms somewhat re-
semble that disease and suggest the
theory that it may be caused by a
somewhat similar parasite.
These are all very interesting and
important questions and the depart
ment of agriculture will endeavor TO
collect information in regard to them.
1t will make Investigations and seek
the remedy by which such losses can
be prevented and the profits of sheep
husbandry correspondingly increased

IIerOd.

This horse furnishes a notable in
stance of merit struggling to the front
against adverse circumstances. lie was
foaled in 1866 the year before Dex-
ter's 2:l7 Ia at Buffalo clinched the
argument of interested parties that only
Hambletonians deserved the names of
trotters. He was bred by Frank Hill
hard at Ossian, Iowa, who sold him
while yet a colt to James Brooks, who
shortly after died and the colt passed
into the hands of his brother, Capt.
Brooks of that place, who took no fan
cy to the little inbred Black Hawk, and
frequently said he wouldn't take him
out of the barn for him. Thus he was
reared to full maturity, neglected, I'M
broken, without handling, exercise or
company. His disposition was natur-
ally soured by this treatment and his
breaking was delayed until it became a
difficult undertaking that resulted in
! serious and permanent injuries to the
horse, and thereupon his misfortunes
eliminated in his being placed in the
hands of an incompetent and drunken
trainer.
With these negative advantages he
started on his first campaign, at nine
years old, in 1875, obtaining a record
of 2:29. In 1876 his first important
race was at Milwaukee, where he won
the free-to-all over a very heavy and
muddy track, in straight heats, beating
Phil Sheridan and Allen in 2:26 81,
, 80 l-2, 2;30 -. lie met with almost
uniform success in 1877, trotting i'll the
free-fOr-all through Illinois, Wisconsin
and Minnesota, and suffering but one
defeat, and that by Mountain Quail
2;25 1-2. In this campaign he met and
vanquished among others such noted
trotters as DIR. Lewis, Sargent, John
Hall and Countess. During all this
time he was almost cripple from
lameness induced by savage treatment
while he was being broken. This in
creased to such an extent that he was
fit to trot but very little in 1873 and
1879. In 1880 he trotted few races
and in an interval of freedom from
lameness was shown at Milwaukee a
full mile in 1922, half in l :0S IA and
a quarter in 33 seconds. These trial.
are well authenticated and indicate the
wonderful powers which lIerod musI
have shown had he been uninjured and
properly handled.
