 aany appertains to agricultural disquisitions.

RICK. 



t this season of the year, when the variety of 

 h meats, vet,''et ibles of various sorts, and many 

 is of fruit greatly abound,lherc are perhaps few 

 ;les of diet more salutary, and especially for 

 dren, than that of rice. — The method of pre- 

 ng it vaiies among professed cooks, but the 

 iwing mode is said to be one of the best. Soak 

 rice from breakfast to dinner, when have ready 

 fficient quantity of boiling water, in which a 

 Iful of salt has been thrown. Put in the rice, 

 let it boil ten or fifteen minutes,when pour the 

 de in a cullender to drain. By this simple 

 e of boiling, the kernels of the rice will ap- 

 ■ distinct, tender and white. [N. H. States.]
