intention of torrefaction is not only to
make it deliver those principles, and make
them soluble in wjter, but to give it a

of its mucilage, are destroyed; its saline
properties are created, and disonaged,

CURING BUTTER.
A writer, signing himself 01d Dutch
esi,' eays butter should be cured without
the aid of water. 'The practice I recom
mend,' says he, from long eipenehcc,
is as follows: When the butter comes
from the churn, put it in a clean wooden
bowl, and with a wooden butter ladle pro
ceed to work it, by breaking it down at
the sides and turning off the whey which
is separated ia the process ; at the same
time strew on the salt by degrees, so thai
ii becomes intima'ely corporated. Con-
tinue working it thus until the buttermilk
is apparently all worked out. Put it then
fcy, in a cold cellar till next morning, by
which time the salt is dissolved, when
the ladle is to be again applied and con
tinued as long as any buttermilk can be
separated. The butter is then fit for use
or laying down.
For preBeryingjStone-ware jars are pre
ferable, they impart nCP taste to the but
ter and exclude the air. Pact down the
butter without any salt between- the lay
ers, and cvf r with two inches of sfroog
brine, previously boiled, skimmed and
sufleied to become cold. If a scum should
afterwards appear the brine, which
will sometimes happen in damp cellars,
renew the pickle. The impurities which
rise to the surface while boiling, or are
found in the residu'im at the bottom, are
far greater lino any one would suppose
wtidie not in the habit of boiling his brine
for meats, butter, -c. Butter thus man
ufactured and cured will keep a twelve
month or more, perfectly sweet ; and
the rich delicacy of flavor imparted to
that made in May and June, by the
young herbage, will be in a great mea
sure preseiyed. It is compact, without
being too adhesive; ruts with a smooth
urfacc, and shows neither lumps of salt,
butter-milk, nor crumbles." X. Y. Far.

CORN.
One of the most important improve
ments, introduced by scientific farmers in
the culture of thi3 very important crop,
within a few years, is the planting of from
lour to six times the usual quantity of seed;
and, at the first hoeing, pulling up all but
the proper number of plants leaving the
best and most thrifty ones to form the lu
ture crop.- Experiment has 6hown the
great advantages resulting from this course,

lie same principles to vegetable produc

mended in the culture of this crop, the ex

husbandman to select the healthy plants
only lor the crop, removing all the sickly
ones: and with them, the danger if any
exists, of cornmuiiicatittg diseases to euch

The influence which coffee, j idiciously
prepared, imparts to the stomach, from n-
mvigorating qualities, ij strongly exempli
fied by the immediate etK'ot produced on
taking it when the stomach is overloa ttti
or nauseated with surfeit, or debilitate.
with intemperance, or languid from inanition.
Ia vertigo, lethargy, and all disorders of
tbe head, from v biructions in the capilla-
lies, long experience ha9 proved it to be a
powerful medicine: and in certain cases ot
apoplexy, it has been found serviceable
even when given in clysters, where it has
not been convenient to convey its cth cts
to the stomach. Mor.g. Malebranche re
stored a person from apoplexy, by repeat
ed clysters of conec.
Du v our relates an extraordinary in
stance of the eflect of coffee in the gout.
He says Mon-. Deverau was attacked with
the gout at twenty-five years of age, and
had it severely until he was upwards of
fifty, with chalk stones in the joints of his
hands and feet, he was recommended the
use of coflee, which he adopted, and had
no return of the gout.
A small cup or two of coflee, immedi
ately after dinner, promotes digestion.
With a draught of water previously
drunk according to the eastern custom.
coflee is serviceable to those who are of a
costive habit."
" "Thr neralitr of the English families
make their coffee too weak, and use too
much sugar, which often caus.es it to" turn
acid on the stomach. Almost every hous

Couut Rumford says, 'Coffee may be
too bitter but it is impossible that it
should ever be too fragrant. The very
smell of it is reviving, and has ofton been
found to be useful to sick persons, and to
those who are afflicted with the headache.
In short, every thing proves that the vola
tile, aromatic matter, whatever it may be,
that gives flavor to coffee, is what is mot
valuable in it, and should be preserved
with the greatest care, and that, in estima
ting the streugth or richness of thatjeve-
rage, its fragrance should be much more
attended to, than either its bitterness or
astrtngency. This aromatic substance
which is supposed to be an oil, is extreme
ly volatile, and escapes into the air with
great facility, as is observed by its filling
flhe room vith its fragrance, if suffered to
rematnnmeovered, aiid at the sajne time,
losing much of its flavor.' ,
