of preserving fruit in this manner is practi-
cable and valuable, and that the fruit, when
carefully put up, can be made to keep as
long as may be desirable.
The method of preserving is thus given
to the New York State Society by MIR. w.
r. Smith.
They are preserved by placing the bottles
filled with their lrrit, in cold water and rails
ing the temperature to the boiling point as
quick as possible, then cork and seal the
bottle Immediately. Some varieties of fruit
will not fill the bottle with their own juice
these must be filled with boiling water
and corked as before mentioned, after the
surrounding water boils

PLow STRAIcIrr-It is an old saying,
that "more corn grows on crooked rows
than on straight why? Because eve
ry one plants crooked rows. Now, still more
would grow in straight ones, if everybody
laid them straight. So likewise, every far
mer who plows straight furrows raises the
largest crops.-Why so! asks the reader.
Because the man who takes pains to do
things well is always most successful. Who.
ever will turn over straight Or even inrrows,
will do other things equally well; there is
no slip-shod farming about him-no broken
fences, no giants weeds, no rusty tools; but
all is neat aud tlourishing. Show me the
style in which man plows his fields, and
will tell you whether he is a good or bad
farmer

PRESERVING FRUITS IN THEIR OWN JUICE.
AS the season of fruits is now approach
ing it may be interesting to our lady readers
10 be informed Of a method by which the
most delicate fruits can be preserved so as
Fc retain their flavor for an almost indefinite
period. Thirteen bottles of Fruits so pre-
served were exhibited lately at Rochester,
n. T., by VIM. r. Smith, of Wayne county,
biz: five of cherries, two of peaches, one of
strawberries, three OF different varieties of
currents, one of blackberries, and one of
blumbs. They were examined by a COM
}hittee, and found Of fine flavor; and the
committee expressed the opinion that the art
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1852-06-10

VERY TRUE.-When we hear men and
women speak lightly of the industrious part
of the community, we feel just like tracing
back their gencalogy. We have done so in
several instances and you will be surprised
at what we have learned. The most aristo-
cratic man of our acquaintance is the grand
son of a fiddler: the proudest woman, the
daughter Of washerwoman. 1t betrays a
lack of good sense TO condemn, or to look
with contempt ON any virtuous person, how
ever poor he or she may be. The wise and
good respect and love goodness, wherever it
is found in all its beauty and efulgence.

KEEPING CATTLE WARM--Caulc will
eat all that nature re luires in good warm
barn, if it is judiciously fed to them, and
they can have seasonable supplies Of water.
But nature will require more in an open
barn, and more still in a cold yard. The
fuel to feed the fires within, will always bear
proportion to the cold atmosphere sur
rounding the surface of the body without,
which is to be warmed, in order to keep. the
creature comfortable. 1t is like placing
your stove outside of the house to warm the
circumambieut air, instead of placing it
within your snug little parlor. The extra
out door appetite is caused mainly if not
entirely, by the extra exposure demanding

AN AMUSING PARODY.

Old Brindlc's dead, that good old COW,
We ne'er shall see her morc;
She had pair of legs behind,
And a pair of legs before.
0, she was gentle as dove,
And knew no base design;
She had two horns her head above,
Like any other kline.
Her beauty, hid from public gaze,
She never brought to view;
Nor made noise on rainy days,
As other cattle do.
In winter she was fed on hay,
We cut the fodder fine;
She gave eight quarts Of milk day,
One Sunday she gave nine.
And just al sunset every night,
She came home without fail;
She never felt disposed to fight,
And nc'er kicked o'er the pail.
She sought her friends 'mong other cows.
With whom she won esteem;
She never kicked up any rows,
But always gave good cream.
o, she was generous to fault,
Betrayed no idle fears:
She never yet refused salt
She wore Il pair Of cars.
She much by nature was endowed,
Though thorns her path besct;
And all the other cattle bowed,
Whenever her they met.
And now she's gone to her long home
We mourn, and ever shall;
For every body said she was
