Pound marigold petals in a mortar, and
strain out the juice ; put it into the milk
when you put in the rennet, and stir
them together ; the milk being set, and
the curd come, break it as gently and
as equally as possible ; put it into the
cheese vat, and press it with a gentle
weight. Manage the same as other
cheeses.
MARINE GLUE. — Dissolve |
lb. of india rubber in 3 gallons of coal
naphtha. The india rubber should be
first steeped In hot water, then cut in-
to shreds with a pair of scissors, then
dried, and put into the naphtha ; stir
till it is dissolved, and is as thick as
cream. Then take one part of it and
add it to two parts by weight of shellac.
Melt in an iron vessel. Stir well. It
has great tenacity.
MARJORAM, to Cultivate. —
The common sweet marjoram, so much
used in the culinary art, is cultivated by
seeds, which are sown on a warm border
at the end of March. When the plants
are an inch high, transplant them into
beds of rich earth ; water them daily,
till they have taken new root.
The plant is aromatic, and warming
in cold diseases of the head and stomach.
The decoction is good for diseases of the
chest, asthma, bronchitis, and it removes
obstructions of the liver and spleen.
See Robinson's Herbal.
Sweet Marjoram is used for culinary
purposes. It yields an essential oil,
which has been applied to cancer with
great benefit ; and it obviates the fostor
attendant upon that cruel disease.
MARKING INK.— Dissolve 2
drs. of lunar caustic in clean rain water ;
add 1 dr. of gum arabic, and 1 K ozs. of
common soda, or ammonia. Take the
sediment, and grind it with a little citric
acid, clear rain water, gum arabic, and
a little black ink. It is better to damp
the linen a little before writing upon it.
