AND RURAL ECONOMIST. 333 sizes of these pumps manufactured, which are so constructed as to answer as forcmg pumps, in such a manner as to carry water to any dis- tance, and are a good substitute for an eno-ine Zinc Hollow Ware either for culinary °use or tiie dairy, by wholesale or retail, may be had at tlie agricultural warehouse.

The prices of this ware will upon exammation be found not to vary materially from that of tin and iron, yet as durable as iron, easily cleansed, not subject to rust, giving the article cooked or kept in it no unpleasant taste, and containing in itselt no poison, like copper, brass, and lead. Zinc kettles will be found to cook rice, hominy, and all kinds of sweetmeats, better than any other kind of metal, neither discolorinjr nor varying the flavor of the substance cooked; and for these purposis, it will ere long be substituted for brass and copper, to avoid the poisonous corrosions of those metals. ^ Zinc pans, for the dairy, will be found by the dairy-woman an object worthy of her attention, from these considerations: that they will areatlv outlast any other pans, that the same size pans will produce oni-sixth more cream or butter, and of a superior flavor; they are more easily cleansed and will keep milk siceet longer by a number of hours. Zinc tubs and firkins will keep butter sweet several davs longer in hot weather than those of wood or other kinds of metal. ' This has been a subject of experiment, and the results safely warrant the statement Hence families who prefer sweet butter to rancid, will do well to avail themselves of these tubs, for keeping their butter sweet and retaining.
