* Taken from the second volume of the Agriculture of New-York. 
Note. Fresh bread which is made in Albany, contains 40 per cent of water. Our food, as well as the food of 
cattle, contains always a large quantity of water; and food which contains but little water, but has an affinity for it, 
as rusk, is always injurious.
