seth. Mode Of expending the refuse of the
sugar-house for the fattening of cattle?


"Ans. The cakes are preserved in magazines
sunk in the ground, where they are beaten hard
and left to ferment. AT the end of six or nine
months they are cut ont in vinous state, and Civ
en- to cattle and sheep; excellent for the purpose
sheep will eat five pounds of this food, mixed
with small quantity of oil-cake-say about Q
pounds for ten sheep a day. Cattle, while fat
tening, eat rs pounds of beet-cake and pounds
of oil-cake per day. The molasses is mixed
with water and poured upon chopped straw in
cisterns, where it remains for "a hours, when it
is given to horses, cattle, and sheep, who deyour
it yoraciously. The sheep-pens are strewed
with lime instead Of straw; most excellent
mode, as il saves straw, which might be cut into
chaf, conduces to the health Of sheep, as well as
to their cleanliness. The lime prevents and
cures the foot-rot and is the means Of raising a
large quantity of most valuable compost, which

the effect is instantaneous. Sheep fatten in Q
months, or GO days. The cakes from 100 pounds
of beet, with mixture of molasses and straw,
are sufficient food for three sheep per day; from
1000 pounds Of beet, food for so sheep for
day. From acre of beet, therefore, food Cor co
sheep for 20 days; the cakes from 3 acres Of
beet, with an allowance Of straw and molasses,
and the above quantity Of oil-cake, sufficient to
iatten GO sheep for the market"
