may be conducted, and drawn out by a tube in- 

 serted into the bottom of the cistern, and leading 

 into your kitchen. If things are rightly consider- 

 ed I believe it will be found that a cellar kitchen 

 is more convenient than one above ground, and 

 much more economical. I conclude by saying if 

 you believe this worth a place in your Farmer, 

 you are welcome to it — if it is deemed otherwise 

 "l shall not be oil'ended — but have the satisfaction 

 of having done a part of my duty.

Extraordinary Fruit. — We have just been shown 

 a lemon of uncommon size, raised on Mr S. 

 M'Cutchon's plantation at New Orleans. It 

 measured 14 inches in circumference taken be- 

 tween the stem and the opposite end of the fruit, 

 and 14J when measured lengthwise. About 20 

 others of the same size, produced on the same 

 tree, were sent to this city. — jV. Y. Eve. Post. 



Useful Inventions. — Mr John W. Cooper, of 

 Waynesburg, in Franklin county, Pennsylvania, 

 baa discovered (for which he has obtained patents) 

 a new mode of bleaching and whitening of flax, 

 hemp, tow, and cotton cloth, in the course of a 

 few hours, without the least injury or damage to 

 the strength thereof — and also, of making white 

 paper from rags of cotton, linen or silk, be their 

 colour ever so various, and of extracting from all 

 kinds of rags, all kinds of mineral colors, and ren- 

 dering them white and completely bleached, &c. 

 The ingredients and process used, are said to be so 

 cheap and trilling as to render these discoveries 

 highly valuable, particularly to paper makers.
