proper character, warrants to be ' as good as any 

 ale.' It may, for aught I know, make a pleasant 

 diluting and diuretic drink for the dog-days. Thus 

 it has been asserted by the scientific, that the home 

 made arrow-root, from potatoes, is equal in sub- 

 stance and nutritive quality to the genuine foreign, 

 and that the quality of potatoe flour is equal to that 

 of wheat. The above writer's recipe is as follows : 



Take the liquor of 1501bs. of the roots, previously 

 boiled, bruised, and pressed, add one pound of 

 hops ; the infusion to remain all night, and to be 

 reduced by a saccharometer to the strength of 28

 the liquor one hour, and cool as soon as possible to 

 70 degrees Fahr. Add one pound of good yeast, 

 to be beaten in after the liquor has stood 24- hours ; 

 to be beat in again after 12 hours. The yeast then 

 to be skimmed off, and in about 12 hours more the 

 beer to be tunned. When working has ceased, stir 

 into the cask a handful of the cold reserved hops, 

 and in a few hours bung down. The produce, 16 

 gallons of ale, apparently very strong, of a very fine 

 flavour, and equal to any malt ale. The whole ex- 

 pense about seven shillings, or five pence halfpenny 

 per gallon.

 to be brewed, to which a cock is a great conveni-
