 Every good mower knows how much the cliarac- 



of his work mid his own case in working de- 

 id upon the h'inz of hi<j scythe, and these im- 

 ved snail lis are, on every account, a valuable 

 enlion. The difference between one of these 



utilul and nr.iccful frames by which llie scythe 

 balanced like a fialher 



fashioned almost sirs 

 ip like a dead weight, is remarkable.

 n cents a .«et. .Men finish the .scythe snailhs — 

 after they are taken from the oven — at two 

 Is apiece, bc'ing boarded in addition ; and n

\bout ".I.OOO are manufactured per year. The 

 ;le in the rou!;h state is first steamed three 

 rs : then placed in a cast iron frame to give it 

 proper shape, four being put into one mould at 

 ne. A numlier of these moulds are then plac- 

 n a frame, whiili moves npon a railway, and is 

 fcd directly into a ilrying room or oven, where 

 • remain lorlyeij.'ht hours. They are then tak- 

 lut, shaved smooth, and rubbed with sand pa- 

 and returned again to another drying room to 

 lin furtyei^lil hours longer. The nibs or lian- 



are than put on, and the work finished, 

 'he article is very beautiful. Great improve- 

 la have been made in fitting the ring tu the 

 he, by which il can be driven tight without the 

 of wedges, always objectionable in former 

 »8 ; in sinking an iron socket to receive the 



of the scythe, so that the scythe does not bc- 

 3 loose by the wearing away of the wooden 

 ice, as was forinerly the case, in so fitting the 



and mixing ihiMii carefully together. When liike- 

 wariii, add a teacup fnll of coinmnn, or a little Icsi 

 of distillery yeast, and set the mass in a warm 

 place to rise. When light, knead in (lour till it 

 will mould well ; then let it rife again, when it i« 

 lo be moulded into loaves and baked. 



fVrnrh hrenil or rnlln is made by taking half a 

 bushel of fine flour, ten eggs, a pound and a half 

 of fresh butler, a pint of yeast, or more, if not first 

 rate, and wetting the whole mass with new milk, 

 pretty hot. Let it lie half an hour to rise, which 

 done, make it into lonvca or rolls, and wash them 

 over with nil egg beaten with milk. In common 

 French rnll.i, the eggs and the butter ere not un- 

 commonly omitted, but their additi'O makes the 

 bread decidedly better. 



Tlio following bread has been fount! very useful 

 for those lo whom fine flour bread was injurious : — 

 Of good wheat, ground fine but unbolted, take three 

 quarts, one quart worm water, one gill of fresh 

 yeast, o;io gill of molasses, and one teaspoonful of 

 salirratus. Make two loaves, bake an hour, and 

 cool gradually. It has someiiineo been called dys- 

 t every family above the poorest, and lo an pepsia bread,

 preparations. Simple milk, too, enters into the [ too hoi, as a crust will bo formed, and lb'' proper 

 diet of every class, with this peculiarity, that il is I rising prevented. Heat your oven thoroughly, but 

 consumed in a larger quantity in the rural districts i let the first flush heat pass off before your bread is 

 than in the towns. It may be drfiicult to make an j P"t in. If you fling in a lillle flour, and it browns 

 nppro.ximale calculation of the quantity and value ' i" about a minulc, put in your bread ; if il burns 

 of t4ic mtll; consumed by the twenlyfive millions of I lilack, wait a few minutes. Tliere is much de- 

 tlie inhabitants of the British Islands. It is, per- ' l"^"<'in? 'n every family on the bread usi-d, and 



portanco of the dairy: — "The dairy is a branch of 

 rural industry, in the highest degree drseiviiigof

 by which so great a quaiilily of animal food is de- 

 rived for human support from the same space of 

 ground. In the Urilish islands, the production of 

 this kind of aliment in summer and it? entire value, 

 lorms no inconsiderable proportion of the yearly

DOMESTIC ECONOMY. 



Making Bread. — Every one imagines they know 



how to make bread, and almost every one can wet 



up flour and bake it — but il by no means follows 



that they know how to make bread. To make

MAXIMS. 

 Injun/. — A little %ronf done to another, is a 

 great injury done t6 owrseives. The severest pun- 

 ishment of an injury is ll.e consc-iousness of having 

 done it; and iin man suffers more than he who m 

 turned over lo the pain of repentance. — 6'iV H'aUtr 

 Raleigh. 



Pity and Scorn. — He that hath pity on another 

 man's sorrow, shall be free from il himself; and 

 he that delightclh in and scorneth the misery of 

 another, shall one lime or other, fall into il himself. 

 —Ibid.

 quarts of water, of a moderate temperature, and the 

 whole being well mixed and kneaded, and set by

 or perhaps a little more. It will rise beller -and 

 more equally if the mass is covered. It must un- 

 dergo a second kneading before il is formed into 

 loaves for the oven. The more bread is kneaded

Promises. — It would be more obliging lo say 

 plainly, we cannot do what is desired, than to 

 amuse people with false words, which often put 

 them upon false measures. — Sir P. Sidney.

 opinions, and value others that deserve il. — Sir IV.
