 objects of ventilation and economy of fuel would be

 be the more like cake if that is done, but he has BO 

 right to introduce such fancies into a serious argument 



would just suggest that unbaked dough is not eatable 

 any more than raw Beet ; and that fire must be en- 



than in the other. As to the Scotch argument we woaH 

 submit that the possibility of employing Beet m 

 the preparation of bread is but a few weeks old, ui 



Scotchmen would or would not do.] 



Mduu growing in Guernsey.— I saw in Guernsey, a 

 September last, some beds of Melons in a roughly c# 

 tivated garden, situated at the eastern part, close onto 

 sea-shore, whose crops were most abundant, and tie"

 any appearance of manure. The beds, I was informed, 

 were made entirely with layers of vegetable manure, 



No artificial heat whatever had been employed.--
