PE>EEyING FKUIT ~ AE-lIGHr C,Ss.-As
We experimental pretty freely the past sea-
son IN preserving fruits 10y the exclusion OF
the ar, some Of our friends may desire 10
know how they have stood the test Of the
hot weather We have now had. We reply,
they have fully answered our expectations.
Those recently o;cued were as fresh as those
first inspected. Those put up without su-
gar being simply scalded, were not only iul-
~ equal III flavor to the others, but equally
ircSi also, and we prefer the flavor when
sugar is added at the time of eating, to that
produced by scaldng the sugar with the
truit. We found no superiority in one kind
over another, and the tomatoes (the on'y
vegetable We put up have kept as well IS
the fruits.
The various cans of berries and small
fruits, put up by the same process. and sent
Us by our friend Mrs. ilornbrook of " heel
ing, Va, have stood the warm weather per-
fccty, and have elected praise from all who
tested them. We take this opportunity Of
teudorins her our thanks for so valuable a
present. ..
That the glory Of sweetmeats has depart
ed with the advent of this new system OF
preserving fruits and vegetables, is now, We
think, a safe prediction, so general is the
voice in their favor.
Fruit of most kinds is likely to be so
scarce this year. that very little we presume
will he put up. Apples oily prom nse an
abundant supply, and those who have the
cans, and nothing more rare with " hich 20
Cll them, will do well to take some of the
richest, as Pippins or Rambos, quart, them
and put them up in the usual way. Anoih-
er spring eat them with sugar and cream,
and they will be found quite treat in com-
parison with even the best of dried apples.

JUICE OF THE WATER MELoN.-A cores
pondent OF the Prairie Farmer presents the
following method of using water melons:
/ ,ndeayor every year to raise good wa
ter melon patch. They are healthy ana
delightful fruit. | think. | cultivate the
icing variety; plant early in May, and again
towards the end of the month, SO that they
may come in succession. When they co'n-
mence ripeD ng, We commence cutting, ana
use them freely during the hot weather.
When the weather becomes cool in Septem-
Der, we haul a quantity of them to the house,
split them open, with. a spoon scrape out
the pulps in a cuilender, and strain the wa
ter into vessels
We boil it in an iron vessel, then put IN
apples or peaches, like making apple butter,
and boil slowly until the fruit is well cook
ed, then spice to taste, and you have some
thing that most people will prefer to apple
butter or any kind of preserves. Or the
syrup may be boiled without fruit, down to
molasses, which will be found to be as fine
as any sugar house molasses. We have made
in a fall as much as ten gallons OF the apple
butter, if may so call it (; and molasses
which has kept in fine condition until May.

which Italian merchants kept their NOR ey

Great mischief h~s too often arisen, aS Is
well known in bankrupt courts, from the
misuse of the word cash, in which large de-
