though it would nourish less than an equnl 

 weight of turtle soup, or other delicate and nu- 

 tricious viand. 



In making experiments to ascertain the com- 

 parative value ol'raw meal and boiled meal, in 

 feeding swine, by giving thorn allernatelj, to fat- 

 ten hogs, as advised by D. G. regard should bj 

 had to other circumi^tances besides the increas- 

 ed bulk of the boiled meal. In some stages if 

 the growth and fattening of a hog, he willlhrive 

 much faster on the same quantity and quality of 

 aliment than he will in other stages, if a hog 

 is lean and ravenous it will require as muchtiod 

 as good food to keep him from suffering by han- 

 ger, as in other cases might be sufficient to cloy 

 him, and, perhaps bring on a surfeit. Cobbctt 

 says that when a hog is well and profitably fat- 

 ted " the last bushel, even if he sits as he eats 

 is the most profitable." Some allowance shoi'ld 

 likewise be made for the beneficial results aris- 

 ing from change of diet. Probably a hog fed 

 sometimes on dough and sometimes on rao^h, 

 would fat faster, other things equal, than one 

 confined to either. Indian meal soaked long 

 enough to bring on the first step in the process 

 of fermentation, thai is till it liecomes sweet, 

 without letting it remain till it becomes decid- 

 edly M.\d; or dough fermented with yeast, or 

 by other means, till it is exactly lit for the oven 

 would be excellent food for swine. But (his 

 would require some nicety of management to 

 prevent the meal or dough becoming too soor, 

 mouldy or putrid, which would deteriorate if 

 not destroy its good qualities.

PATENT RIGHTS. 

 A company, with a capital stock of two mil- 

 lions of tiollars, has been formed in England for 

 the purpose of purchasing patent rights; and 

 their views extend not only to all jiarls of Eu- 

 rope but to America.. They will furnish pe- 

 cuniary assistance to enable inventors to repair 

 to England and there carry projects into effect. 

 — The Yankees alone will employ the whole 

 capital stock, and (hat in a very short time, if 

 their claims be universally admitted. — .Kat.G<u. 



With great pleasure hc learn thai our inf<eni- 

 ous townsman, Wr David J'lagg, is likely to rea- 

 lize a handsome fortune iiom his late invention, 

 the "Kam wheel Brick Press." He has lately 

 returned from New-York, and we understand 

 received six thousand dollars in that city for 

 the exclusive right of using the press in the 

 middle and southern states only ; and he has 

 also sold rights to a large amount in N. Eng- 

 land. His eminent success in this invention, 

 we hope will excite others of our ingenious 

 mechanics, to successful emulation. Gardiner ;i«; 



.The following passage is extracted from Dr 

 Edward Piigby's account of Mr Coke's System of 

 Agriculture. 



" He cuts his wheat very early, even whea 

 the ear and stem are greenish, aud the grain not 

 hard. He says ihe wheat, thus early reaped is 

 always his best sample, and he gets two shillings 

 a quarter for it more, than for wheat cut in a 

 more mature {state. He, perhaps, loses some- 

 thing in the measure, the skin being thinner, 

 and the grain probably not quite so bulky ; but 

 if this be true, it is fully compensated in hissuf. 

 fering no loss by shedding on the ground, which 

 when the ear is ripe aiul ihe weather windy, is 

 often not inconsiderable. 



" He is equally early in cutting oats and peas: 

 I observed to him, that in both these, the seeds 

 were not all ripe ; his answer was, that he 

 should lose more by the falling of the ripe seed 

 at the bottoms, than he should gain by waiting 

 until the rest were ripe ; and that the straw ia 

 this state, retaining some immature seeds, was 

 of more value to the stock in the yards, than if 

 cut later. 



" To prove the utility of reaping wheat early 

 Mr Coke has hung up, in his own room a few 

 handfuli of wheat which was greenish and im- 

 mature ; in a few days he shewed us the seed, 

 which had ripened in the capsule. Mr George 

 Hibbert, of Clapham, a gentlemaa well skilled 

 and much experienced in the cultivation of 

 plants, was with us, and be has since, in a letter 

 observed to me that this is a common natural 

 process, more especially when the capsules are 

 of a succulent nature, and which all gardeners 

 very well knew ; and he mentioned a remark- 

 able instance, which occurred to him respecting 

 a plant, whose seed had no considerable envel- 

 opcment. James Niven was employed by him 

 to collect the seeds of plants in Southern Africa; 

 he sent a specimen of a beautiful Erica, lament> 

 ing in his letter, that he had never been able to 

 find one of that species advanced into fruit; hut 

 out of that very specimen, which he seems to 

 4iave gathered in the full vigor of flowering, Mr 

 Hibbert actually obtained ripe se.sds, and pro- 

 duced plants here by sowing thena. When Ni- 

 ren xeturoed, he sliewed Lim the specimen, asd
