Vine

As with a bramble, it can be planted on both sides. & those who plant the larger side facing a slope say that it makes a larger stock. But it only has a higher point, because it grows higher.

Mortars

The fine copper mortars do not throw any flames, as long as the iron pestle is not tempered. If the mortar is indeed made from metal, when this is sour, in this case one makes the bottom of large mortars from fine copper.

Varnish

Turpentine oil turpentine & good eau de vye to render it desiccative. Heat it without mixing on the chafing dish, so that it mixes pu by itself when melting. Next test on a very clean knife, & you will know then if it has enough body & if it does not run too much.

Grafting

One knows from experience that the young shoot that is enters into the incision on the sunny side takes hardly often at all when it is also bowed.

Baker

Dust guards wheat against being worm—eaten. And to clean it well when it is stained & like rust, pass some ashes through a sieve & mix them with the wheat, then sift the whole thing with a bolting cloth made from rough cloth or canvas. The ashes will pass through & your wheat will stay nicely yellow & very fine.

Looking—glass tin

It makes the substance whiter.
