Th** following observations in relation to I n dian Corn and meal were communicated tothe Journalvof Commerce, by a physician of the i-iiy of N e w Y o r k : Yellow com and while corn are not the same in quality, although they a\e identical in kind, and may giow in the same held. T h e nutritive qualities of the yellow corn surpasses ihat ol tbe white, and tbat is a good reason why she common sense of the people,'or their ordi nary experience, assigns to i t a preference inde pendent of its mere looks. T h e investigations, or vegiiable chemistry have revealed to us many important and inter esting f ids. Bv the aid of analysis, it has been ascertained that butter, in a pure state is com bined in all. pr yearly all grasses, seeds, and grains. Out oFqne hundred weight of yellow Indian corn un ^ L f o r instance, a good c hem ist caff extract froirt eight to fen lounds of foutierr— ‘ Out of the same vveight of white Indian mealy, six or eight per cent of butler can be made, thus proving it to be in tiiat proportion, so much the less nutiicious. O f t h e nu riciousqualities of InJian meal, a n y one can sa isfy him s e l f by attending to ibe usual process of rooking it.— W h e n it is boiled thick, as in m a k ing mush, if a crust adheres to the side of the vessel, on cool ing, it is apt to peel off, of itself, owing to tliis fatty material in it L.has furtherenn-e been proved, thal the but ter, ob'.ffned f om ihe cream of milk, is no! an itnaj s e c t i o n , but that it previously existed in the pure and original s*a»e, in the hav or foo l of the ro w ; and i -kilfil chemist ran make more bu'te* out of a hundred, weight of hay lhan a cow can. as the cow must a p p iopnaie a con.-ide.rabfo share ofit f o r the uses and necessi ties of her organization. Give a cow a linn- died pounds of hay, and she will render batk eight or ten pounds offobnuer, but an expert chemift can realize twelve or thirteen pounds out of it. In the choice of the va.rio.tis articles of focd *o suit onr i *s’.es on particular occasions— to correspond to >.he muhiplied eniergencies^ol life — the adnpt.nions of the multifarious sods an i qualities of food, display iufin’te wisdom-and goodness. In sickness, in health, in toiij when our means abound, and when they ate scanty, we d e m a n d different kinds, to satisfy ourjosal and imaginary wants. ’ O f t h e grain stuffs,, rice contains the least fat*y material, and Indian < orn the must, and ranging between these two e<!retries, we have wheat, oa% rye, b,ai‘ley, &c.; ail different, and yet all,of them capable of be ing applied to the respective conditions which are suited to then*. Il is on account of the fatly nature of Indian corn meal that it is such a strong kind of food, and ihat persons unaccustomed to it cannot en d u r e it. T h e nations which feed chiefly on rice, a r e not. near so robust as those which use Indian corn; as the blacks of the south mostly do. Persons unaccustomed *o this kind of food, l he refo re, Vvk I I d tiibest to commence with the white Incliaffmeui, ifT prelereitee to the yellow, as it is no: so rich ; and thj^ preference of the white over yellow has already occurred in E n g land, where tbe article is new. T h e r e is only one more observation vvhich I wish to-‘make. A s Indian corn meal contains so much tat in it, if kept loo. long, it is liable to become rahcid, and is then more or less unfit. for use. In the shipments made to the W e s t Indies the meal is commonly kiln-dried, to obvi ate as mttcfons possible this tendency to lanci.d- ity. For*teasoo's just detailed, the white meal will keep' ratlie.r better— and from its being lighter and milder it is as mtic,h preferred for use in warm climates, as the yellow, for similar indu-’ernonig. is iu cold. [I .1 ha* latel : been staled iba* a f a i n is subject to oxi.Ltion as w U as metals; ..a- the sugar which is contaiue I in meal becomes an oxide of sugar by long exposure m the air.
