A CARD.
10 the Subscribers to the
Lexington Gazette.

ON my return from the Southwest few
days since, whittier had been called BY &c
rious indisposition in my family, I was utter
ly astonished, as well as deeply chagrined, tt
the intelligence that the publication Of theGa-
zette had been suspended for several weeks
This suspension, which know nothing Ell
ther to require or excuse, was SO far from be-
ing authorized by me, that it was perpcnated
in my absence, by those who had charge Of
the Office, in the very face Of the plainest
and most positive instructions to issue the pa
per regularly until my return. The object
of this card is simply to cXculpate myself
from all blame in the premises, and to assure
the subscribers to the paper, that the Gazette
will appear again in the course Of a few
weeks at farthest,-possibly in few days;
quantity of new type having been ordered
from the North, and one Of the most accom-
plished printers in the United States engaged
to take charge Of the mechanical department
of the establishment. The Gazette has not
gone down as some allcge, but has only been
hauled out high and dry for few days, to I'M
dergo thorough repair. She will soon be
launched again on the stormy brine, re-mo-
delled and rc-rigged, every sail spread to the
breeze, the glorious WING Flag floating at
her masthead, and manned by a gallant crew,
who, unterifed by defeat, and mistaken by
the detection Of trcacherous friends, are re
solved in their inmost souls, to do battle for
their country, in the storm as well as in the
breeze, while single man remains to tread
the deck-and whose LAST exclamation to
their comrades, if fall they must, will be, in
tho dying words of tho heroic Lawrence,
'DoN'T Owe UP THE SHIP.'

ADVANTAGES OF COOKING FOOI
FOR ANIMALS.

Water, in certain combinations with vege-
table substances, may be considered as con-
verified into nutritious and sometimes solid
food. Every one is aware that given guam
tlty OF maize meal, or rice, or any farnaceous
substance, will afford much more nutriment
when boiled, than much greater quantity in
an uncooked state. Count Rumford states in
his essays, that for each pound of Indian meal
employed in making pudding, we may eX-
pect three pounds nine ounces of the pudding;
and he says again, three pounds of Indian
meal, three-fourths of a pound of molasses,
and one ounce of salt, Tin all three pounds
thirteen ounces Of solid material, } having been
mixed with five pints of boiling water, and
boiled six hours, produced pudding which
weighed ten pounds and one ounce. The
gain OF weight in rice is more considerable
than that OF Indian or maize meal but in eli
ther, tbs sogreat as to demonstrate most con-
clusively the advantages of cooking, for eXpe-
riments show that the gain in nutritive pow
er of the cooked food is at least equal to the
gain in weight.
That water is capable of conversion into q
nutritive solid, is proved by the experiments
of De Saussure in the formation of sugar from
starch by the action Of sulphuric acid. He
says, "that as starch boiled in sulphuric acid,
and thereby changed into sugar, increases in
weight without uniting with sulphuric acid
or any gas, we must conclude that starch SUI.
gar is nothing else than combination of starch
| with water in solid state" 1t is perhaps
| owing to this addition of water in solid
form, that sugar is so much superior to starch
as nutritive substance. Some persons may
| doubt that water ever becomes a solid unless
| when frozen butifthey will take the trouble
to weigh few pounds or ounces of quick
lime, and then slack it by water, and note its
increase ofweight, they will have their doubts
dispelled. In cooking food, such as the
grains, or potatoes, it is clear the water com
bines with the farinaceous matter in boiling,
adding as decisively to its weight, as when
united with the lime. Every farmer, or house
wife, can, if they will take the trouble to
weigh the Ingredients used in making pud-
ding of Indian meal, satisfy themselves of
this increase in weight, and by observing its
effect as food, test the value of the cooked
material over the uncooked and uncombinea
one.
