FOOTNOTES:

[24] Messrs. Parker & White, in Boston, have shown us an excellent

machine used for the purpose of cutting cornstalks. Every farmer should

have one in his possession.

[25] A large portion of the cayenne found in the stores is adulterated

with logwood, and is positively injurious, as it would thus prove

astringent.

[26] Their active properties may be extracted by infusion.
