provisions are much cheaper than they formerly

therefore, come to the determination to charge,
in future, the following low rates, to wit :

to be reduced also ; but on the contrary, I will
warrant my work to be made of the very best
materials, and as fashionably and durably execu

Hail! first of Arts, source of domestic case ;
Pride of the land, and patron of the seas.
On CAieesfc flaking,
As practised at one of the most eminent Dairies
in New-England, communicated at the request
of the Editor of the American Farmer.
Sir Agreeably to your request we
have obtained from our brother, Leonard
Murlbert, a brief account of his manner of
makinir Cheese, which wc enclose vou for
publication, if you deem it worthy of a
place in your useful paper. His manner
of making Cheese we suppose to be as
perfect as any yet discovered, as his cheese
is of an excellent quality, and is known in
Baltimore as such specimens of which
probably may be seen at Barnum's Tav
ern, and at M'CIurc Sc Foltze, and Mar
pie Sc Williams' stores, who have had of
the dairy for a number of years past.
Yours, respectfully,
SAML. HUHLBF.RT h. CO.
CHEESE MAKING.
From Iomj experience I have found the
following to be the best method of manu
facturing Cheese, viz : Add the night's
milk with the morning's milk, and gently
heat it over a fire in a kettle to 94 degrees,
then put it in a tub or vat, then add a suf
ficient quantity of prepared annatto to
give it a handsome yellow colour ; next
add a sufficient quantity of runnet to make
it curd in 25 minutes when curded, make
use of a wooden knife or sword of suffi
cient length to reach the bottom of the
tub, and chequer it all in squares of about
two inches ; it is important that it should
all be chequered to the bottom then let
it stand until the whey appears above the
curd, say from 15 to 20 minutes ; then
break it up carefully with the hands in
such a manner as not to bruise or break
the pieces of cird ; next place a clean
strainer on top of the whey and curd, and
press it down gently so as to cause the
whey to arise on top, then L?de off the
whey with a dish or dipper, what can be
conveniently taken ofT in that way ; then
place a cheese strainer in a cheese basket
over a tub, and carefully remove the curd
and remaining whey into it, and cut it in
to blices with a thin skimmer, until the
whey has mostly drained out ; then bring
the corners of the strainer together and
twist them so as to press the curd into a
solid mass, and place the twisted corners
down in the basket, and place a clean board
of about one foot square on the top of it,
on which place about 20 lbs. weight in or
der to press out the whey and consolidate
the curd. After remaining in this situa
tion about 1 5 minutes the curd is to be cut
in pieces of about one inch square, with
a knife resembling a common carving
knife, then to be put into the strainer ex
actly as before stated, with the weiqrht on
it, and remain from 10 to 15 minutes, and
then cut as last stated, and so repeated
from six to ten times, until the whev has
entirely done dripping from it after
which it is taken out and cut into pieces of
about two inches square, and put into a
wooden bowl and chopped with a chop
ping knife, until the pieces are about the
size of an Indian corn. The next process
is scalding, -which is dene by putting the
curd into a strainer and putting it into a
kettle of hot whey, heated to 125 degrees
and no more, for if the whey is too hot it
will ruin the cheese and make it hard and
dry. While in the whey it must be stir
red with the hand until the whole is equal
ly heated, it is then taken cut and put in
to the cheese basket over a tub, and a suffi
cient quantity of clean fine salt thoroughly
mixed with it to give it a high salt flavour,
and let it stand until it is hardlv blood
warm, then the corners of the strainer arc
twisted together as before, when it is put
into the hoop designed for the purpose,
and nlaced into the uress and m-essed in
this instance, with the average weight of
about 100 lbs. to every ten pounds of curd ;
to remain about half an hour in the press,
then taken out and turned in the hoop and
replaced in the press, and add about one
third to the weight in pressing or press it
one third harder than before, and let it re
main about three hours ; then it is taken
out and placed in a clean fine linen cloth,
(pains should be taken that the cloth be
perfectly smooth and no wrinkles in it,)
it is put again into the hoop and pressed
for forty-eight hours, being taken out and
turned once during the time. At this
pressing about one third additional weight
must be added it is then taken out and
oiled, and put on the shelf to cure, where
it must be turned, rubbed and ciled at least
every twenty-four hours until it is thor
oughly cured.
My method of preparing the oil I use
on Cheese, is as follows, viz : I put the
whey I scald the curd in, into a tub and let
it stand about 24 hours and an oil arises
on the surface, which I skim off and put
into a kettle and simmer it over a moder
ate fire, when the sediment will settle to
the bottom, and I pour off a beautiful pure
oil, which is fit for use. For painting
cheese I make use of the best Spanish
annatto. I would here take the liberty to
remark, that there is a great deal of the
counterfeit Spanish annatto manufactur
ed in this country, and is good for noth
ing ; and it appears to those who are not
perfectly acquainted with the article, to be
of good quality, and the people have been
much imposed upon with it, for the last
ten years. Take eight ounces of Spanish
annatto, or in proportion as may be want
ed, and put it into three gallons of weak
lye, made from pot or common ashes, and
boil it until it dissolves and becomes of a
bright yellow colour thus it may be put
into the milk as before described. To
prepare the runnet to put into the cheese,
I take the calf's second stomach imme
diately after the calf is killed, and take
cut the contents, which are called curd,
which I do not save, as it is of no use,
(as some have mistakenly supposed,) as
by using it the cheese is injured thereby.
I rinse the bag clean in cold water and
rub it all over with fine salt and lay it away
to dry ; when dry I make about one gallon
of brine to cacli bag, by mixing as much
clean alum salt with hot water as the wa
ter will dissolve, and after the brine is
cool, I put it in the bag, and wrhen it has
soaked several days it will be fit for use.

DELICATE MISTAKE.
When Dr. Samuel Johnson lodged at
Kettle Hall, in the University of Oxford,
at a Air- Thompson's, a cabinet maker,
the maid, by an unfortunate mistake,
brought him one day a ciemzse of Airs.
Thompson's to put on instead of his own
shirt. The Doctor contemplating on no
thing but Ramblers and Idlers, and co
lossal dictionaries, shoved his arms, head
and shoulders into the lady's linen before
he discovered his error. Who has cut
off the sleeves of my shirt ? Who has cut
off the collar of my shirt I exclaimed the
enraged and hampered moralist, with
Stentorian vociferation, dancing, and tug
ging and roaring for freedom. This roar
brought up poor Mrs. Thompson, who,
with the most consummate delicacy, shut
ting her two chaste eyes, slipped her hand
into the room, and delivered her giant
guest from his enchanted castle.
DON ONIS'S MEMOIR.
This work has been published in
Washington, with a sensible preface
by the translator, Dr. Wat kins who
pronounces it an extraordinary produc
tion, and has no doubt that it was in
strumental in procuring the ratification
of the Spanish Treaty. Extracts from
it are given in the Intelligencer and
City Gazette of Washington. The
13 on gives a very unfavorable portrait
of the people of the United States,
;vho "brought with them the vices of
the most degenerate people of Eu
rope a compound of individuals of
various nations, he says, thev have no
national character, and immediatelv
after adds, that thev are for the most
part descended from English families.
and that the Anglo-mania is always
prevalent. He gives our character in
far from flattering colours ; condemns
our vanity and pride ; which by the
way render us very similar to the En
glish ; and ridicules our haughty senti
ments and brilliant predictions li the
house in which the Congress hold their
session, is called the Capitol, and a lit
tle rivulet near it, about three yards
wide and a fourth deep, they denomi
nate the Tiber, and many of their
meanest settlements have the names of
the most celebrated cities of Greece
and Rome." He, however, docs am
ple justice to our navy, and brave tars,
and highly praises our naval officers,
and has no doubt that v.e will show the
same superiority over the BTitish in
grand battles, as we have over single
frigates and on the lakes. lie depre
ciates the army, and commiserates the
situation of the Indians on our borders.
This, wc should say, comes with an ill
grace from the representative of a
government, which considers the In
dian population of its provinces, eve
ry way inferior to ours, as only fit to
work in the mines as beasts of burthen,
and which at different times has shed
the blood of millions. He gives the
lollowing unlovely picture of the inhab
itants of the Southern States. It is a
subject of regret that he did not give,
the sources cf his information.
44 In the two Carolinas, the popula
tion increases very little, and one third
of it, as well as in Virginia and Mary
land, is composed of negroes and mu
Iattoes, nearly all slaves. The whites
appear rather to diminish than to in
crease in these states ; which must be
attributed to their use of strong drink,
and to a life of voluptuous excesses.
Despising matrimony, they commonly
unite themselves wTith the negresses
and mulattresses. They are but little
inclined to labor, presumptuous, vin
dictive, and cruel to their slaves. The
inhabitants of the North are more la
borious, and less corrupt. Those of
Delaware, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee,
and Georgia, are poor: and, with the
exception of Delaware, they all resem
ble the savages, or aboriginal Indians,
very much in their customs and mode
of living." O temporal O meres I
Our form of government, of course,
does not suit the ideas of the Don. It
is badly combined, and the Executive,
he says, begins already to enslave his
people, and he boldly prophesies its ru
in, notwithstanding, wre suppose, the
efforts of the ''pensioned editors, who
(as he says) support and eulogize it."
We regret that we have not room for
more detailed extracts. The work is
extraordinary in itself, and the curios
ity of the American public must be
excited to hear what a man, high ir of
fice, says of us, after so long a resi
dence. He has not flattered us very
highly, and we believe, he will not be
himself flattered, if he read the re
marks, which his v.rork will elicit.
Savannah Georgian.
AMERICA AND GREAT BRITAIN.
The Iloston Daily Advertiser has published
extracts of a letter (dated Jan. 2.) from the cel
ebrated Mrs. Axxe Giiaxt, to a friend in the vi
cinity of Boston, of which the following is a part.
" Your country is like Virgil's fame,
enlarging while we look at it, till we aro
overwhelmed by its magnitude. While
we, bound in our watery girdle and sink
ing under the debt in which our valor and
generosity have involved us, have no oth
er sources from which to support o:r con
sequence but our intellectual wealth ; the
legacies left us by the glorious bards and
sages of the olden time, and the new crop
of poetic laurels that are springing daily
up with unequalled vigor and frchness.
Of these we have been perhaps too vain,
and too ready to wonder that the Belles
Lettres has not been suddenly and success
fully cultivated among the stumps and
Indian corn-fields of recent settlements,
or amidst all the effervescence of politics
and legislation to a new born empire
This ground of superiority seems fas
receding, and we are now by abundant
candour atoning for our past arrogance.
Could you believe that it is now the uni
versal fashion to admire American gen
nius, and with the exception of Scott's in
comparable novels, there is nothing so
much read, praised, and admired os the
Sketch-Book and Knickerbocker, which,
