TO THE I 3 DITON. OF THE SUN:

ta4ie mid smell, the

I' chpminess, and other disi:zreeebte ipaliiies of
I the Bread made Iron! the bid Flour of last year,
are well known, and. have been the subject- of
universal complaint ; hill I tear the remedy is tint
so well kno in as the importance of the subject
must lead every one to wish. I there ore trust
you ivill excuse the liberty I take in troubling
you with this letter. _
__ . _ ._ _

Some time ago, a Lady applied to me respect,.

ing the best chemical Means for improving the
bad Breasd made from last yea►'s Flour ; and

gave ,her, in consequence, a:concise summary of
two articles in the.Philosonhical Magazine, writ-
ten by Mr. EDMUND Davy, Sir HUMPHREY'
iJAvY's cousin, and Professor ,f Chemistry at
Col k, recommending the use of magnesia. 1 this
morning received
.a letter from my friedd, iu
which she sends use the thanks of all her neigh-
bourhood for improving their- Bread : they hat!
hetore tried soda, and various other recipesi with
little effect ; it continued clammy and nnpalate-

able. I considered the souOt whence I ilerived
my information as so much within the reach of

every one interested in the subject, that I should.
haraly have thought it worth communicating to
you, but from the above-mentioned letter. Lest,
therefore, the Magazine should not be in the
hands of some of your Readers, I. will state, as

concisely as I can, tile results.
The Wheat of last year had almost all begun to
germinate, even before it was cut ;. the . conse-

,quence is, the conversion.of the farinaceous matter
into sugar, which .not only checks the fermenta"-
tion. of the Bread, and renders it heavy and
clammy, but turns acid during the baking.—Mr..
DAVN. recommends, that the _Flour shall be first
thoroughly dried by a slow beat (before the tire,
for instance, in.preterence to an oven), and shall
then be• mixed with thirty grains peviroond of
_common magnesia—(rhe cakined will not answer.

not like the less) the Loaves will be larger and.

t‘venty to forty grains of common nthv,tiesia may
