The VINEGAR PLANT.-We were recently
shown, at the residence of Mr.. f. j. AVERY,
Vinegar plant, originally obtained from
certain waters in South America, upon the
surface of which it accumulates in similar
manner to that of Cuckoo-spittle or Frog
spittle upon waters of peculiar nature in
this country.
Let jar be filled with water properly
sweetened with molasses, upon the surface of
which let this plant repose about two weeks,
and the liquid will be changed to vinegar of
most agreeable acidity and pleasant flavor.
This plant possesses within itself the
property of reproduction. The young plant
forming upon the upper surface of the older
one is cast of, and new one formed in its
place; this process takes place three times,
when the original plant sinks and must be
removed.
