CARROTS-ESTTMATE OF THEIR VALUE BY
SOME

To those who nave often proved that five
bushels Of corn and FIVE bushels of carrots are
worth more than ten bushels of corn for stock
the following estimation of their value may ap.
pear a littel singular.
G.. Barbar of Standish, Cumberland county,
Nd, writes that in a discussion of the value Of
carrots by the Farmers Club.
"One gentleman thought carrots worth about
one cent a bushel for stock. Another thought
neither turnips nor carrots worth raising for
stock. Others doubted whether roots of any
kind were beneficial; while some contended stout
1y for vegetables generally. Among other mat
tiers of information, it was stated that sheep
could be kept in good condition on wheat ar oat
straw and eight grains of corn a piece per day.
A gentleman said he had kept q flock Of sheep
for six weeks on a gill Of corn each per day,
and that they did well. They had no hay or
'They did welr to live, undoubtedly. but thew
would have done much better with a good daily
allowance of the undervalued roots. y

KNICKERBOCKER MAGAZINE.

The fftieth volume of the Knickerbocker Maya
zine commenced with the number for July, 1859; aud
it is tho intentionnf the publisher to make great add.
tons to the literary merits of the work.-We take it
for granted there are but few magazine-rcaders in the
country who are not familiar with the authors of St.
Leger and the Sparrow Grass, both old contributors
to the Knickerbocker. We arc pleased to be able to
announce that they will both write for our magazine
the coming year. MIR. Cozzcns will contribute a new
and really original story which will appear in every
number; and Mr.. kimbal will furnish a sketch or q
story as often rs his other duties will permit.
We have now two contributors not excelled by any
writer's in the country, namely Rev. +. w. Shelton and
Charles G. Leland. The first known as our "Up-Riyer
Cores pondent,' has written a series of letters, Il part
of which have been issued and extensively sold in Il
beautiful illustrated volume, and the latter is now wri-
ting a series Of Observations of Mace Sloper. which
will delight all who read them. These will be contin-
ued regularly, and Mr.. Shelton will give a sketch or a
compl.shed lady contributors, whose favcrs will grace
our pages regularly, and whose names VIC would be
glad to publish, if we were permitted to do so. With
these and other regular contributors and the Table of
Mr.. Clark, whose long experience has made him an
aulfaut in his department, we shall be able to present
a monthly literary treat SO varied that no refined taste
can fail to be gratlfed.

TEA AND COFFEE OF COMMERCE..

II LEA AND COFFEE OF
In a paper read to the Chemical Society, Len
4 don, evidence of an unquestionable character has
been given that the Prussian blue, together
with gypsum and a y%ellowish vegetable color
which proves to be turmeric, are used by the
Chinese for glazing or facing some ofthe teas of
m the assertion that the blue coloring
matter is indigo, as has been put forth by some
writer's, is thus disproved. In regard to the
which exist between black and green tcas-both
of which can be, and frequently are, prepared
from the leaves of the same plants,--thesc are
ascribed to the manner of treating the leaves
previous to drying and roasting them, which
gives rise to q species of fermentation accompa
MED with oxidation, by which the natural green
color of the leaf is destroyed, and a black tea
produced. Another system of adulteration is
practlced in China to a great extent, which con-
sists in making the dust or powder oftea, togeth-
er with sand and dlrt, into a paste with gum,
and graduating 1t so as to resemble genuine
dried leaves; this mixture is colored with plum
bago for black tea, and with the facing already
alluded to for green tea, and then scented.
Coffee authorizations are carried on nearer
home. The results of thirty-four examinations
of coffee Of all prices, showed that all the coffee,
with two exceptions only, were adulterated-
that chicory was present in thirty-one instances,
roasted wheat in twelve, coloring matter in
twenty-five, beans and potatoe -four in one only,
that in ten cases the adulteration consisted of
a single article, in twelve of two, and in ten of
three substances,-that in many instances the
quantity of coffee present was very small, and
an others not more than a fifth, fourth, third,
half and so on. Chicory is in every respect in
ferior to coffee; but if its use be deemed in any
way desirable, it should be sold openly, and not
as at present, under the names Of Ccylon, Ber-
bice. Costa RIGA, Mocha Coffees, &c.
