AGRIOULTURE. TOATUNE oF lloiRss.-Among the every day torments to which the horse 18 subjected we will enumerate the following:-1 Abroded breast. 2. Inflamed backfrom defective saddle or harness pad. 8, Sore mouth fron a too tight gag rein, a severe bit, or both. 4. A sore tall from too tight or illy made crupper, 5. An abrasion under the' body, caused by a too light or badly fitted belly band, 0. Irritation of the eyes from blinders being strapped too close together, or, on the other hand, are allowed to sWing around,filrststrik Ing one eye then the other. 7. Ears chafed by the brow band being placed too high, cr by metallic rosettes with a sharp outer rim, the base of the ear pressing across tiils at every motion. 8, rhe excessive fatigue of all the struct ure of the neck under the influence of the bearing rein, The bearing rein, if made taut and kept so for any conside rable length of time, is a source of great discomfort to all horses and an insufferable tormant to many. A taut rein can be used with entire propriety on horses of flne easy up carriage, es pecially while in motion, but if the muscles and the bony structure o1 the neck exterid forward horizontally from an upright shoulder rather than strik ing out Irom a slanting shoulder, then the most intense sufforing will be in Ilicted by straining the neek up to an angle entirely unnatural to the aninal especially it' this strain be long kept up. To strain a culprit up by tne thumbs till only his toes touch the ground Is certainly one of the severest, admissible punishments that can be In fieted upon mortal, and the check rein is undoubtedly akin toIt in its extreme application. IN south western IRssIa, between the Baltle and the Black Sea, the sunflow or Is universally cultivated in 1ields, gardens and borders, and every part of the plant is turned to practical account. A hundred pounds of the seed yielid forty pounds of oil, and the press~ed re sidue forms a wholesome lood for cat tie, as also do the leaves and the green stalks cut up small, all being eagerly eaten.

The vegetible-eater can extract from a his food all the principles necessary for t the growth and support of the body,as I welf as for the production of heat and v force, provided that h I'selects veg- < etables whicli contain all the essential' t elements named. -But he must for this ' purpose consume the best cereals- I whoat or oats; or the legumes-beans, I peas, or lentils; or he must swallo v 4 and digest a large weight of vegetable $ matter of less nutritious value, and, I therefore, at least containing one ele- i ment In large exceas in order to obtain I all the elements lie needs. This the t Irishman requires fQr his support ten i or eleven pounds of potatoes daily, I which containchtelly starch, of which 4 he consumes .a superfluous quantity, very little nitrogen and scarcely any fat; hence he obtains when he can some buttermilk or bacen, or a her ring, to supply the deficiency. The Highlander, living mainly on oatmeal, requires a niuht smaller weight; this grain contains not only the starch but much nitrogen, and a fair anount of fat, although not quite suflcient for this purpose, which Is usually sup plied by adding milk or a little bacon to his diet. On the other hand, the man who lives chicly or largely on flesh and eggs as well as bread obtains pre cisely the same principles, but served In a concentrated form, and a weight of about two or three pounds of such food Is a full equivalent to the Irish man's te) or eleven pounds of potatoes and extras. htMPROVEOD VINKCoAR-MAKINo lPRO cxas.-The transformation of alcoholic liquids into vinegar has long bon a matter of discussion. Pasteur holds that the formation of vinegar is a )iy siological )hieniomen.on caused by vege tation (if a particular bacterium, the Mycoderina acetd, wlile Liebig kaw in it merely a chemical action of oxygen on alcohol. Recent observations by lierr Wiurm, at the Breslau lustitute of Piiant-Physiology, are regarded as puttim the former view beyond a doubts and Herr Wurm has succeeded In eflecting theitndustrial manufacture of vinegar iu accordance with P11iast cur's inen.

Tie grains *of coffee then present an angular appearance, while the ehiccory has an amorphous appearance, and is of a darker color. When the suspected grains.are picked out with a needle, the coffee grains will jump away or are split by It, but the chlecory grains, buing softer, are easily punctured. Th softer grains wien crushed carefu I non the teeth rod - - n anl- i .h0;;'e .d sa gritty sensation like e sand. If chiccory is present, its flavor Is more of an acid bitter than the aromatic bitter taste of coffee. Chiceory in co1ee may be thus roughly estinmated: About two grammes of dried ground colee are sitted In a hair sieve iroin the linest dust which con sists of pure coffle; the larger grains are macerated for soie hours with cold water, and then thrown on a piece of stretch cloth and rubbed with the lingers, when the cliecory is forced through, leaving the coffee grains on the cloth. The coifee is then collected, dried and weighed. 'The loss of weight gives time weight of the chicoory, Jnonorod and milst.
