 as that we can import from Florence. From a

 and with this advantage, that it can lie obtained

rr.ESERVATlON OF GRAPES. 



In a cask or barrel, having its crevices well 

 closed to prevent access of the external air, 

 place a layer of bran, which has been well 

 dried in an oven; upon this place a layer of 

 bunches of Grapes, well cleaned, and gathered 

 in the afternoon of a dry day, before they are 

 perfectly ripe ; proceed then with alternate 

 lavers of bran and Grapes till the barrel is full,

OTTO OF ROSES. 



The following is the recipe for making the 



celfi. rated Otto, or Olterof Roses, IVorii a wurk

I shell fish, while they were in season, and to 



on them as much pure spring water as will cov- 

 er them, and set the vessel in the sun. in the 

 morning at sunrise, and let it stand till tlie ev- 

 ening ; then lake it into the house for the night- 

 Expose it in tills manner for six or seven suc- 

 cessive days, Mini at the end of the third or fourth 

 day a number of particles, of a fine yellow, oily 

 mater, will float on the surface, which in two 

 or three days more will gather into a scum, 

 which 'is the otto of roses. This is to he taken 

 up by snnie cotton, tied to the enil of a piece 

 oi'st.ck.and squeezed with the finger and Ihiiniij 

 into a small (iliial, which mu-^t be immediately 

 and closely slopped; and this is repeated t"oi 

 Some successive evenings, or while anv of this 

 fine essential oil rises to the surface of the water. 

 It is saiil that 1 cwt. of roses will yield but ball 

 an ounce of this precious aroma.

CASTOR BEANS. 



An Illinois pnjier calls the attention of farm- 

 ers to the cultivation of this article. The few 

 experiments made in rearing this plant, prove 

 that the manufacture of Castor Oil may become 



hoi>ever, that oysters, when ton copiously eaten, I ■•> source of vast profit to the western country at 



" least, as an article of exportation. 



Mr John Adams of Edwardsville has commen- 

 ced the pressing of oil from them. For the pres- 

 ent he uses his clolh press for that purpose, and 

 obtains seven qii.irts of cold-pressed oil from a 

 bushel of beans. He presses them without either 

 grinding or pounding.

 com|>anied with good pepper, or cayenne. — 

 V'ineirar ought never to be used by tliose who 

 eat oysters '■ to enrich their blood," or lo pre- 

 vent consumptions. Instead of vinegar a very 

 little while wine may be added ; but not when 

 there is a fev^r or cough. When too many 

 oysters have been incautiously eaten, and are 

 fell lying cold and heavy on the stomach, we 

 have an iiilallible and immediate remedy in hot 

 milk, of which half a [lint may be drank, and il 



[will quickly dissolve the oyMers into a bland, 

 creamy jelly. Weak and consumptive persons 



I should alwayi take this alter their meal of 



I oysters. 



HORSE-RADISH. 



One drachm of the fresh-scraped root of this 

 plant, infused with four ounces of water in a 

 close vessel for Iwo hours, and made into a syrup 

 with ilouble its weight ofsugar, is an approved 

 recipe for removing hoarseness. A tea spoon- 

 ful of ihis has often proved suddenly eflectual.
