The uplands consist of about 1000 acres, and the whole is well calculated for the production of corn, wheat, tobacco, timothy, and small grain of all kinds, in great abundance. The waters are said to abound with excellent sh. oysters, and wild fowl. The water carriage is easy and convenient to Norfolk, Baltimore, Alexandria, and the city of Washington; and as these estates possess several good mill seats, with an abundance of water, and a plentiful supply of timber, they must be very valuable.

Observations on the influence of Soil and Climate upon WOOL; from which is deduced a certain and easy method of improving the quality of English Clothing Wools, and preserving the health of Sheep; with hints for the management of Sheep after shearing: an enquiry into the structure, growth, and formation of wool and hair; and remarks on the means by which the Spanish breed of Sheep may be made to preserve the best qualities of its fleece unchanged in different climates.
By ROBERT BAKEWELL.
With occasional Notes and Remarks, by the
RIGHT HON. LORD SOMERVILLE.
[CONTINUED.]
The first of these objects I must leave to the intelligent wool-growers. The second I have already adverted to, as far as relates to the covering of the wool, and it is not my province to point out to the practical farmer the exact manner in which he may best provide a convenient shelter for his sheep; the buildings, however, for this purpose, should have near the roof, sliding doors or windows on each side, to admit air in any direction, and to regulate the warmth. The practice of coting, or housing the sheep at night, was found to be very beneficial to the wool. I am informed by my friend Mr. S. Wilkins, of Cirencester, that where coting has been discontinued in Herefordshire, the wools have considerably deteriorated. I am surprised this practice, so necessary in our climate, has not been more general; and still more so, that it should be relinquished where the growth of fine wool was an object of importance. If there be any truth in what I have hitherto advanced, it is obvious that housing the sheep at night, and providing them during the day a shelter from the rain and sun, must preserve and improve the wool; and would also essentially conduce to the health, comfort, and preservation of the animal.
The third object to be attended to is the quantity of food. As a considerable difference of opinion exists with respect to the effect of food on the fineness of wool, and as the question is still sub judice , I shall be excused in stating my own observations on the subject. A sudden removal to a rich luxuriant pasture, has a tendency to increase the fibre, and make the wool coarser. I assert this from repeated examinations of its effect on forest sheep removed into pastures to fatten. I believe some breeds of sheep resist this effect more than others, and the Spanish perhaps more than any of our native sheep.* I have stated that this effect is occasioned by a removal from a poor to a rich pasture. I do not, however, by this mean to assert, that some breeds of sheep will not produce fine wool when plentifully supplied with nutritious food. This may be the case with the Trasmontanes, or fine-wooled travelling sheep in Spain, which are said by some writers to exceed in fatness the stationary coarse-wooled ones. It is not the absolute quantity of food which animals consume, but the proportion of nourishment each species may contain, that we ought to attend to. If food be supplied in nearly the usual quantity, and be of a kind on which the animal will thrive, it will produce no change in the wool, and it is of little consequence whether it be given in the form of grass, hay, or turnips; whether in enclosures or open fields. I admit with Dr.
* This effect has been ascertained on my own flock for many years past; not only on the Merino and Ryeland, but on the wether sheep of the pure Merino race, to the number, the mixed breed included, of many hundred sheep every year. These sheep have been constantly depastured on very rich marsh land during the summer months, and no degeneracy in the wool has resulted, but on the contrary an improvement; such is the opinion of those who purchased it: perhaps they considered the wool less incumbered with dirt and more full of yolk, and therefore gave it the preference. The causes of this, however, with other details, will form part of a statement to be published hereafter, in continuation of a former work on this subject, which I thought it my duty to make public.—S.
Parry, that the great and sudden change which appears to take place after enclosures in the quality of wool, is generally occasioned by the introduction of a heavier breed of sheep. Were it the interest of the farmer to grow fine wool in the same situation, he might effect it by a careful attention to the breed, and by limiting the quantity of food given to his sheep. That the latter circumstance is necessary to be attended to, was the opinion of Mr. Bakewell of Dishley: he said to me the year before his death, "he had no doubt that fine wools might be grown on rich pasture lands by overstocking them, and preventing sheep from obtaining more nourishment than they had been accustomed to." I state this, because I am apprehensive that the opinion of Mr. Bakewell on this subject, has been mistaken by Mr. Turner, who is quoted by Dr. Parry as an authority that Mr. Bakewell did not admit the effect of food or climate on wool. It is probable that Mr. Bakewell had stated, that different kinds of food made no alteration in the wool, for it was not the kind of food, but the nourishment it contained, to which he attributed any effect on the wool. Until the change occasioned by rich pastures on the wool of Spanish sheep be fully ascertained, it would be desirable that they should be supplied with nearly the same quantity of nourishment to which the parent flocks have been accustomed, provided that this be sufficient to keep them in a healthy state. Baron Schultz, in his account of the sheep of Sweden, informs us, that some of their fleeces may be increased from 2 lb. to 4 lb. by an increase of food. Mr. Fink, although he does not admit that increase of food injures the quality of the Saxon fleeces, yet he allows it will increase their quantity. It must do this either by lengthening the staple, or by enlarging the thickness of the fibre: in other words, it must make the wool longer or coarser; in some instances it may do both. There is one undeniable fact, which may silence every doubt on this subject, as it is not an inference from any partial or local observation, but is proved by the general experience of wool-buyers in every part of our island. After a fine open winter, a greater quantity of wool is produced, than when the season has been severe; in some instances the difference will amount to full one-fifth of the aggregate weight of the whole quantity of wool grown in the kingdom. The fleeces at such times are considerably larger, but the wool is always coarser; as the wool-sorter knows by long and constant experience.
[To be continued.]
To the Editor of the North American.
SIR,
It is much to be regretted, that in the expose of our cabinet as published in the National Intelligencer of the 9th and 11th instant, it should have been found necessary to adopt the scurrility and misrepresentations, which characterise the French press in the United States. No man for instance, can mistake the scope of the allusion made in the first number to the friends of Mr. Canning in this country; nor will any person conversant with commerce believe that the refusal to ratify Mr. Erskine's agreement will have a tendency to depreciate the value of our produce either in England or Holland. That a measure calculated to prevent any further importations, should subtract from the value of the stock on hand, would be something new in the history of commerce. Those persons, who have had occasion to purchase English broad-cloths since the passing of the non-importation act, can best answer this question.
It is not my intention, Mr. Editor, to notice the pleadings of either party in the cause now pending between Messrs. Canning and Smith, but I cannot help expressing a wish, that the plaintiff and defendant would consent to go to trial without attempting to identify their own personal interests with those of their respective nations. There can be no lasting cause of enmity between the people of the United States, and the people of Great-Britain: and I am confident, that if the sense of all the individuals composing the two nations could be ascertained, the hostility, if any, would be confined to a very small number.
We are not to be told at this day, that the tenure of office in this country rests on popular opinion, and consequently, that whenever the administration, whether through error in judgment or from imperious necessity, shall adopt measures at variance with the habits or prejudices of the people, they must, if they cannot prove the wisdom of them, endeavour to get out of the scrape as well as they can. To retrace their footsteps would be to relinquish all pretensions to infallibility; hence they are fain to resort to the expedient of the quack doctor, who although his nostrums are known to kill thousands, finds no difficulty in procuring
certificates of their efficacy. If we compare the elections in the United States, at certain periods, to an epidemical disorder, which threatens the existence of those who grasp the helm of state, perhaps we may rationally account for the extraordinary precipitation so discoverable in the arrangement with Mr. Erskine. As one proof, however, is entitled to more weight than a thousand conjectures, I will state a fact, which even the editor of the National Intelligencer will not have the hardihood to deny. When Mr. Oakley arrived at Washington, two important elections were on the eve of taking place—the one in the state of New-York; the other in Massachusetts, and in both of which the two political parties were nearly balanced. The fact then to which I allude is this: that the correspondence between Mr. Erskine and Mr. Smith, was published on Wednesday evening the 19th of April, in an extra sheet by the editor of the National Intelligencer, and was read by colonel Cantine at a democratic meeting held on the Saturday following at Kingston on the North River, three hundred and fifty miles from Washington . I shall not attempt to account for the inconceivable rapidity with which the news was circulated, further than by remarking, that the election in the state of New-York, was to take place on Tuesday the 25th of April, and that from the peculiar circumstance of the case there is too much reason to believe that our ministers urged Mr. Erskine to make the arrangement absolute, when from the nature of his instructions he must have wished it to have been provisional—and by that means prevented all those evils which S. H. Smith the printer, has conjured up and affects to deplore.
The experience of each day affords fresh proof of the stupendous folly and abominable wickedness of the embargo measure; folly, because it operated chiefly to our own injury in a variety of shapes, and in none more than by causing an immense accumulation of produce, which with the aid of succeeding crops will glut the European markets for years to come; wickedness, inasmuch as by placing the U. States in the despicable situation of the dog in the manger , it was an attempt to starve the miserable inhabitants of the West India Islands and of certain portions of Europe; to whose depravations for the last fifteen years we are indebted for incalculable wealth.
If, as our government did not think proper to resist the Berlin decree, they had also yielded to the orders in council, and left the two great belligerents to settle the point between themselves, there is no doubt that Bonaparte would have immediately abandoned his system; but to expect that he would so do after we had given efficacy to that system by the embargo, is to suppose him destitute of common sense.
As the real origin of the embargo, has been carefully concealed from the public, I will, now that Mr. Jefferson is in a situation to defend himself, give a concise history of that flagitious measure. When the unhappy affair of the Chesapeake took place the leaders of the federalists, with their usual lack of sagacity, were the first to set up the war whoop, and that too without enquiring whether the aggression had been authorised or what was more probable, whether it was not the explosion of a mine, the combustible materials of which had been studiously prepared by their political opponents. Be that as it may, all parties joined in the cry for vengeance, and Mr. Jefferson, fully persuaded that the long wished for opportunity of involving the nation in hostilities with Great Britain had arrived, lost no time in inviting general Turreau to a conference at Washington, the result of which was a PROVISIONAL ARRANGEMENT, HAVING FOR ITS OBJECT A CO-OPERATION OF THE NAVAL AND MILITARY FORCES OF THE TWO NATIONS IN THE WAR , which congress in obedience to the wishes of the people would be obliged to declare. Fortunately for the peace happiness and independence of the U. States, congress was not in session at the time, and when they met the disavowal of the attack on the Chesapeake, and the mission of Mr. Rose had wrought such a change in the public mind, as to frustrate the deep laid plan in favor of universal monarchy. How then was the wrath of the emperor and king for this disappointment to be appeased? I answer—by adopting the embargo as a substitute for war!

VIA NEW-YORK.
LONDON, July 7.
To-morrow we shall lay before you a translation of a letter which has been written by the holders of colonial produce, but afterwards it was believed to have been circulated by the influence (so powerful) of the government itself, to adopt the measures which Napoleon's intercourse being again restored to this country and America.
Yesterday a considerable number of vessels arrived from Holland, with corn and other commodities. The reason assigned for their sudden departure was, the expectation of an embargo imposed throughout all the ports of the kingdom. They have brought very few persons, and no additional information of importance on which we can rely.
A gentleman who has arrived from this country has favored us with some intelligence as to the situation of matters at the present moment. The Dutch government, apprehending that the secret expedition is intended for the invasion of Holland, thought fit to make great preparations for the public defence; but if a judge may be formed from the vast collected materials, the plan is so extensive that it cannot be completed for any immediate purpose. A large battery is constructing near the house, about 7 miles from Amsterdam. Numerous hands are employed, with a powerful system of machinery, to drive previous piles into the earth, to give stability to the embankment. The city is surrounded on the land side, by a great number of batteries, so that access, in that direction, seems to be almost impossible. The encampment near Utrecht, of about 10,000 men, and all those who could be spared from Stralsund since the conflict with Sweden, have received orders to return. King William is in Guelderland, and it was supposed that he would soon take his departure to join the Royal Fraternity assembled at Frankfort on the Maine. It does not appear that any acts of open hostility have been committed; but it is said that for the last two years, the natives had been greatly annoyed by the increased contributions required by the obstruction of their commerce. It is added, that the demands of the king could not be satisfied, if it were not for occasional indulgences granted to trading venturers; and that the dissatisfaction on such causes was so extensively diffused, that a separation from France, and an alliance with Great Britain was considered the only means of appeasing the general disquietude, alleviating the public burthen, and restoring the national prosperity.
Some of the letters from Holland mention the same fact that was stated in the Portuguese Journals received yesterday—that King Joseph has again quit Madrid, and proceeded towards the frontiers. We know not what degree of credit is due to this news.
A Gottenburg mail arrived just as the paper was going to press. It contains the following intelligence:
Extract of a letter from a Swedish officer on board the brig Fougta, dated at Roads, June 15.
"On the 10th inst. the brig set sail for Riswifjond, in company with two Swedish frigates and one bomb ketch, one gun boat and one cutter, and about 150 merchantmen, most of them Swedes; we arrived here all safe the day before yesterday, at 10 o'clock in the afternoon."
"Our intention was at first to go through the Belt; in consequence of a signal made by the English frigate Cobertus we were on through the Sound. Between Kronenburg point and Hammugnolla 13 of the enemy's gun boats hove in sight, but kept close with the coast. Some shot were fired at us from Kronenburg, but did no execution. Off Helsingburg our convoy was joined by the Africa, English ship of the line—as the winds serve we intend to take our departure from hence, but the number of English armed ships which are to accompany us is uncertain."
The first division of the expedition to Portsmouth, is completely ready; but as it is impossible, we understand, for the whole expedition to sail before the 15th, a delay arises not so much from the want of shipping for the conveyance of the troops, as from the contradictory orders which have been given about their marching and quarter-marching.
A letter of the 25th of May from Portsmouth mentions that a general action between

French and the Spaniards under gen. Blake, in which the latter were completely victori-ous.
Another from Gibraltar, dated the 10th ult. observes that the French had succeed-ed in throwing into Barcelona, from the land side 6000 more troops. It is added, that general Blake had proceeded from Gi-rons to Saragossa with 30,000 men, in or-der to gain possession of that city.
The report of the evacuation of Madrid by king Joseph is not well founded; but it is a fact, that he has unexpectedly raised a contribution upon the inhabitants of the ca-pital, which was to have been deferred six months. This looks like a preparation to depart.
The Spanish ship of the line of 74 guns, St. Francisco de Paula, was to sail from Ve-ra Cruz about the middle of May, with 7 millions and a half of dollars. Four mil-lions and a half were for the Spanish go-vernment. The British frigate La Fran-chise, capt. Dashwood, has proceeded from Jamaica to Vera Cruz, to take four millions more to Cadiz.
Letters from Hamburg, dated June 29, received from Heligoland, positively assert that the Austrians from Saxony and Fran-conia were on the point of entering the ter-ritory comprised under the general denomi-nation of Hussia.
Wednesday lord Harrowby was present-ed to his majesty at the levee of St. James's, on his being created an earl, and appointed president of the Board of Control.
According to letters from Upsal, a vio-lent conflagration broke out there on the 18th ult. which consumed, in a few hours, 70 houses.
An article from Dusseldorff in the Royal Hague Gazette, announces that Bonaparte is only waiting for the junction of the Rus-sians, to strike a decisive blow.
It should seem by an account from Na-ples as if general Stuart had embarked all the British troops in Sicily upon some ex-pedition. They were to pass Naples about the 14th ult.
A Gottenburgh mail arrived this morn-ing. It has brought no intelligence of im-portance. At Gottenburgh letters had been received, stating that the Austrians had been victorious in every quarter—that they were masters of Saxony and Franconia, and that the duke of Brunswick had surround-ed Magdeburg.
The Entreprenante is arrived at Ply-mouth with dispatches from Lisbon, which she left on the 27th ult. Sir A. Wellesley was said to be at Thomas.
COCKPIT, (Whitehall) July 6.

Nancy, Hurd, master. This American vessel having entered St. Pierre's, Marti-nique, in April, 1804, and took in a cargo, sailed thence on the 14th for N. York, but was captured by his majesty's ship Boston, and carried to Halifax, where she was con-demned for a breach of the blockade of Martinique. Their lordships determined that she was not liable to condemnation on the alleged ground, there not being suffi-cient force at the port to constitute a block-ade, the greater part having been withdrawn to go against Surinam; and therefore re-stored the ship and cargo.

Aug: 23d.
Arrived at Boston on Friday last the ship Derby, B. Swift, master, from a voyage to the North West Coast and Canton, having been absent 3 years. She left Canton 20th March, at which time there were no Ameri-can or British ships at that place. This ves-sel is owned by Messrs. J. & T. H. Per-kins and J. & T. Lamb, in whose employ captain Swift has performed five voyages round the world; in each of which he has been absent about the same time as during the present voyage.
Captain Swift informs that the Russians are extending their settlements on the N. West Coast, and they contemplated making an establishment this year on the Columbi-an river. How far this will interfere with the claim of this country we do not under-take to decide.
The Derby was detained off the Cape of Good Hope by one of the British ships (Li-on of 74) which has been some time in the Indian and China seas—under the idea of her having been trading at enemy's ports on her way home—her papers which con-cerned her voyage were examined, and she held in duress 12 days, at the expiration of which time she was suffered to proceed.—None of the letters on board, were opened, or other violence committed than that above stated.
Captain Swift left the ship Pearl, captain Whittimore, and ship Vancouver, capt. Sut-ter, belonging to the same concern, on the north-west coast, (all well) in September last.

THE RESURRECTION.
A beautiful and descriptive Extract, from the Scotch Preacher.
Twice had the sun gone down upon the earth, and all as yet was quiet at the sepul-chre; death held his sceptre over the Son of God—still and silent the hours passed on—the guards stood by their post, the rays of the midnight moon gleamed on their hel-mets and on their spears—the enemies of Christ exulted in their success; the hearts of his friends were sunk in despondency and in sorrow; the spirits of glory waited in anxious suspense to behold the event, and wondered at the depth of the ways of God. At length the morning-star rising in the east, announced the approach of light: the third day began to dawn upon the world, when on a sudden the earth trembled from its centre, and the powers of Heaven were shaken; an angel of God descended, the guard shrunk from the terror of his presence, and fell prostrate on the ground; his coun-tenance was like lightning, and his raiment was as snow: he rolled away the stone from the door of the sepulchre, and sat upon it. But who is this that cometh forth from the tomb, with dyed garments from the bed of death? He that is glorious in his appear-ance, walking in the greatness of his strength! It is thy Prince, O Zion! Christian, it is thy Lord! He hath trodden the wine-press alone; he hath stained his raiment with blood; but now as the first born from the womb of Nature, he meets the morning of his resurrection. He arises a conquerer from the grave; he returns with blessings from the world of spirits; he brings salva-tion to the sons of men. Never did the re-urning sun usher in a day so glorious! It was the jubilee of the Universe. The morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted aloud for joy; the fa-ther of mercies looked down from his Throne in the Heavens; with complacency he be-held his world restored; he saw his work that it was good. Then did the desert re-joice; the face of nature was gladdened be-fore him, when the blessings of the eternal descended as the dew of Heaven for the re-freshing of the nations.
SURRENDER OF ST. DOMINGO.
Translated from the Porto Rico Gazette, of July 26.
Government has just received the follow-ing advice by an express arrived at Maya-guez:
On the 22d instant, anchored in this port the Spanish sloop commanded by Joaquin Dobles, from Palenque, in the Island of St. Domingo. The Captain affirms pos-itively, that on the 11th instant, the City of Domingo capitulated to the commander of
the Spanish forces, Don Juan Sanchez, and that on the 13th he, in conjunction with the general in chief of the auxiliary forces of our intimate and faithful allies the English, sent from Jamaica for this purpose, took possession of the city and fortifications.— Capt. Dobles further affirms that he saw the Spanish and British vessels that assisted at the siege, enter the river on the same day that possession was obtained of the city; but he does not know what were the articles of the capitulation.
This information so satisfactory and so glorious for our arms, and for the troops that were sent from here on that expedition, that we give it publicity without loss of time. Hence it may be seen that our vic-tories on this side the Atlantic, are not less splendid than those obtained in Europe, o-ver the common enemy.

For the prevention and cure of bilious and malignant Fevers,
Lee's Anti-bilious Pills,
Prepared by Richard Lee and Son.
Persons wishing to purchase this valuable medicine, are requested to be particular in enquiring for Lee's Anti-bilious Pills, put up in wooden boxes, having on the outside wrapper the signature of Richard Lee and Son. This is necessary, as there are other pills of the same name.
The operation of these highly esteemed pills is perfectly mild, and the experience of thousands has proved, they may be used in every situation in life without the least inconvenience or danger.
They are admirably adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions: to restore the appetite, produce a regular habit of the body, promote free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, so often attended with fatal consequences to the lives of thousands, and seldom, if ever, fail to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. Habitual costiveness, and its opposite, are removed by their wholesome influence, as also those diseases arising from them, headaches and sickness at the stomach.
It is almost unnecessary to state, that on the regular habit of the system, the health of mankind depends. To conduce to this all-important object, perhaps no medicine was ever more generally successful than these pills: they never do harm, and at least nine times out of ten afford relief to those who use them for the purposes for which they were intended.
With the most perfect confidence we recommend these pills to the public, and will only further add, that their operation is always pleasant, and that they leave nothing of that costiveness behind them too often attending medicines designed for similar purposes.
Ten years have justified us in stating these facts, during which we have had a very extensive and constantly increasing sale for this truly valuable medicine.
To the Ladies,
Whose laces and complexion are injured with Freckles, Pimples, Black Worms, Tan or Ayburn, Ringworms, Prickly Heat, &c.
To those persons is recommended
Lee's Persian Lotion,
A certain remedy for removing those disagreeable barriers to beauty, the proprietors with the most sacred regard to truth, and the credit of those medicines, assure the afflicted that all the different appearances above enumerated, are in a short time subdued by wetting the parts affected, with this pleasant fluid, according to the directions on each bottle.
Persons therefore who regard, either what is due to themselves, or the favor and opinion of the world, who can distinguish between the coarseness of health, and the deformity of disease, and who can weigh the advantages which belong to and are inseparable from an engaging appearance, to which perhaps they themselves, have by nature, the strongest claims, are seriously assured these advantages so far as belong to a good skin, are to be obtained by the use of his Lotion, however violently they may happen to be afflicted.
Instead of the studious and debilitating courses of medicines which patients went through formerly, and which perhaps they are still too frequently obliged to undergo, it is now found that the greatest number of these complaints are most certainly & speedily removed by the use of local remedies merely, than they ever were by a contrary course.
LEE'S LOTION
Is celebrated among the fashionable throughout Europe as an invaluable cosmetic, perfectly innocent and safe, free from corrosive and repellant minerals (the basis of other lotions) and of unparalleled efficacy in preventing and removing blemishes in the face and skin, of every kind. It operates mildly without impeding that natural, insensible perspiration, which is so essential to health, yet its effects are speedy and permanent, rendering the skin delicately soft and clear, improving the complexion and restoring the bloom of youth. Sold at the Bookstore.
The article has on the outside wrapper, the signature of
RICHARD LEE & SON.
Persons not attending to the above, are liable to be imposed upon.

vous disorders, consumptions, lowness of spirits, loss of appetite, impurity of blood, hysterical affections, inward weaknesses, violent cramps in the stomach and bad indigestions, melancholy, gout in the stomach, pains in the limbs, relaxations, involuntary emissions, obstinate gleet, flour albus [or whites], impotency, barrenness &c. &c.

Which is warranted an infallible remedy at one application, and may be used with the most perfect safety by pregnant women, or on infants a week old, not containing a particle of mercury, or any dangerous ingredient whatever, and is not accompanied with that tormenting smart which attends the use of other remedies.

Domestic Manufactures.
THE subscriber proposes erecting at the Centre Mills, near Alexandria, a Machine for carding Wool, and expects to have it ready to run by the 30th of the present month. It will card the wool and form it into rolls for the spinning wheel, or into batts for hatters, or other purposes. The advantage of having wool prepared by these machines for the purpose of manufacturing into yarn over that which is carded by hand, is generally acknowledged, as being the cheapest and most perfect in its operation. Those persons who may incline to give encouragement to this establishment, may depend on the utmost punctuality as to time and unreserved attention in the execution of the work. The wool when carded into rolls will be packed in such manner as to preserve it in the most perfect state for spinning, and may be transported any reasonable distance without injury. Wool, sent to the carder, must be clean washed, clear of burs, small sticks or other extraneous matter, and sorted in such manner as may suit the owner; and each quality shall be kept separate. The expence of carding will be eight cents for that which is made into rolls, and five cents for batts per lb. payable at the time of delivering, or payment will be received in wool of good quality at 40 cents per pound, as may suit the convenience of the owner.

First fill the barrel half full of your clothes, then fill the bottom of the Reserve with hot suds up to the side planks, turn the Crank backwards and forwards so as to make the cloaths fall the hardest against the sides of the barrel for about twenty-five minutes, then use the same suds with a little more soap, hot water for the next finest cloaths, until the suds are unfit for use, then second your clothes in the same way with boiling suds, after a bing a little soap on the dirtiest parts of the cloaths; then rinse them in the machine warm or cold water.
