12 WHEAT. .*, 



In flrictnefs, the ar r enic fhould be levi- 

 gated fufficiemly fine to be taken up and 

 wafoed over with water, reducing the fedi- 

 rnent until it be fine enough to be carried 

 over in the fame manner. 



The ufqal method of preparing the liquor 

 is to boil one ounce of white arfenic finely 

 powdered in a gallon of water from one to 

 two hours, and to add to the deception as 

 much water or ftale urine as will increafe the^ 

 quantity pf liquor to two gallons, 



In this liquor the feed is, or ought to be, 

 fmmerged, ftirring it about in fuch manner 

 as tofaturate effectually the downy end of each 

 grain. 



This done, and the liquor drawn off, the 

 feed is confidercd as fit for the feed-baiket, 

 without being candied with lime, or any 

 other preparation. 



If, however, any danger arife to the feedf r 

 man from fowing feed thus prepared, ir pro T 

 bably arifes from the fuperfluous moifture of 

 the feed in this itate entering the pores of his 

 hand. Candying the i'eed with lime would 

 not only abforb the redundant liquor, but 

 would render the feed more pleafimt to the 



hand
