 racked off in ten days, which was done ; and on my re- 

 turn home, found it as fine as any I ever saw, and great-

LYNN ENTERPRISE. 



A correspondent has favored us with a statement of 

 the annual produce of the labors of our industrious, en- 

 terprising and persevering neighbors in the town of 

 Lynn. It does honor to our country, and we are parti- 

 cularly pleased in finding so much of the amount to be the 

 efitcct of the industry of the fair females of that antient 

 town. In the manufacture of women's shoes in Lynn, 

 1037 persons are employed ; they produce annually 

 987,000 shoes ; the materials of which cost about 500,000 

 dollars ; and when, manufactured are worth about 

 800,000 ; giving 300,000 as the reward of the labour. Of 

 this sum 49,295dollars annually is the productof the work 

 of females in binding, &c. the shoes. — Eastern Pa/ptr.

In many parts of our country, the art of making good 

 butter in the winter is very imperfectly understood. In- 

 deed, many good dairy women, suppose it absolutely 

 impraeticable to make it at that season. Now, in somt 

 places, at least in New-England, it is constantly practis- 

 ed, and the process is as familiar, as that of making but- 

 ler in May or October. — The short history of it is this — 



The cows should be stabled and fed on good sweet hay, 

 andif provender is added, so much the better. Instead 

 of keeping the milk in a warm place, it should be put in a 

 cold one, and no matter how soon it freezes. Freezing 

 will separate the cream much more perfectly than it will 

 rise without, and itas taken off with much less trouble
