PRIMITIVE SUGAR-MAKlNG.
Observations Made by an American Lady
Mexican Hacienda.

Not long ago rather noted local
magnate, Judge Yemael Gomez, invited
us out to view his sugar hacienda-an
extensive tract of land lying along both
sides of beautiful river, but little of
it being under cultivation. | wish you
could see the family carriage" that
came for us-an antique ark, with no
suspicion springs, and small, square
aperture high up above the wheels for
door, through which one must crawl
head foremost or feet foremost, in as

tating an embarrassing display of no.
siery. The sugar factory was rus
tic screen of dried grass supported by
four poles standing in the open field
and worked by one decrepit mule and
tended by boy, who, besides our
selves, was the only human being with
in sight or hearing. The cane-stalks
serve double purpose, for, after hay-
ing been squeezed dry (by donkey pow
er) in the little mill, they are used for
fuel with which to boil their own blood,
so to speak. The sap runs by rude
trough from the mill into tin vat,
under which is the mud oven dignitied
by the name of furnace. When suffi-
GENTLY cooked the syrup is cooled
and nodded in tiny earthen pots,
precisely like the smallest size we use
for plants, only trife deeper. Each
little cake is then repeatedly wrapped
in dried leaves of the cane and is ready
for shipping. The skimmings of the
boiling sap are utilized for making a
popular beverage that at first resembles
sweet cider, and is called aqua mieL
(honey water or mieI de cana; but by
fermentation it dey elopes into the most
vicious kind of ''6re-water." Phonetic,
as the syrup of Mexican cane is called,
is by no means as pleasant to the taste
as our maple, nor even as Chinese
sorghum; but as the demand for it
greatly exceeds the supply in this lazy
country its culture is profitable. All
Mexicans, male and female, patrician
or parvenue, possess sugar TOOTH
and have never heard of one who had
an appetite for any thing sour, though
all are exceedingly fond of peppery
condiments. Therefore pickles. etc,
are things unknown, and phonetic is in
great demand, principally for pouring
over the stewed frejoles Oceans which
form the last course before dessert of
every meal-Famnie B. Ward, in MI

COLIC IN HORSES.
How 1t May Be Prevented without the
Aid of Medicine.


Aid of Medicine.
It's with horses, in many things, as
with men. The digestive apparatus in
both is quite similar. Some are troubled
more than others with indigestion; and
any sudden or severe shock to the sys-
tenn may disturb the digestive organs
and bring on collie. If man eats too
much green food, or unripe fruit, it
will affect his digestion and give him
gripes. Let u horse that is kept on dry
feed fill himself with green clover, and
the chances are that he will have collie.
Cattle often bloat up and die under
such circumstances. Let the horse get
very dry and take a large amount of
cold water into his stomach and it may
bring on collie, especially if he is not
exercised after drinking and was warm
at the time. Getting suddenly chilled
and taking cold, thus closing the
action of the skin and throwing all
it's work of publication upon the
bowels, may cause indigestion and
collie 1t is particularly liable to, if the
horse has weak digestion and is predis-
posed to collie. Too much dry feed,
allowing the bowels to become consti-
pated is frequent source of collie. In
such case, injections of tepid water,
to set the bowels in motion, will bring
relief. But the better way is to see that
the horse has every now and then
ration of succulent food to keep the
bowels loose. Overwork and overhead
ing, as well as overeating after long
fast, are both liable to bring on collie.
These are all causes that common sense
and a little thought ought to avoid.
But, as rule, little or no attention is
paid to any of these things, and when
the horse gets sick, the wonder is what
could have caused the sickness. Take
thought for your horses as you would
for yourself; but if you are one of those
who take no thought about their own
health, of course this injunction will
not apply. But you should be careful
with your faithful horse, however much
you may neglect your own condition.

ARNOLD'S WELL.

The old Benedict Arnold we'll in this
town has been closed 1t is at the rear

September 6, 1871, Arnold took dinner
and was almost choked to death by

Arnold captured Fort Griswold, in
