PRESERVING GRAPES.


I'VE are sorry the following article was not re-
ceIved in time for last issue II will still be use
ful however.-Ed.l
To the Edltoy of the Anaertcua Aegac7tltarfst
was surprised on reading the article in the
August .4gricutia7sf, to see how many ways
are resotted TO Tor the preservation Of that valu-
able and delicious fruit, the grape-all Of which
have proved failures for the want of that
knowledge which IS necessary to the Preserva-
ton of all fruits have been able, for num-
Der OF years past, to keep grapes until March
and April, as fresh as when thpv were taken
from the vines in the Fall, aud without any
saw-duSt, sand, cotton batting, paper cuttings
or anything of the kind. The process is so SIM
pie, that every lover OF fruits should have un-
derStood 1t long ere this. With y0Gr perICis-
sion, | will give you the method oy which l
have been 50 successful. My mode of gather
ing and preserving grapes for Winter use Is as
follows When they are fully ripe, suspend a
basket by stcap ur cord passed around the
neck, thereby giving liberty 10 both hands for
picking with one haaI hold tnr cluster, and
with the other cut il from the vine remove
from the clusters all unFipp or decaYed fruit,
and deposit them in the basket until ii IS filled.
Il use market basket that Nl hold about
half buSbeI.) Garry lHe grapes thus gathered
TO the place for fac&iug ! Use boxes about two
feet square by six inches deep in the clear, with
covers made 10 shut tlEht. In packing lav
newspaper on the tatton OF the box, then lay
er of grapes, then e PAPER and a second layer Of
grapes, which, ~h~u closely packed, usually
fills the boX; g.l lh- box in some dry and airy
place, with the cover open or off, and let the
boX remain with the cover open for ten days,
or until the sweating process is passed; then
close the box and sci it in the fruit room, cellar
or garret, or any place where the fruit will not
freeze, or which Is not extremely damp.
Grapes packed as above directed, will open
at any time during the Winter or Spring follow
ing, as fresh as when packed. The only secret
or mystery is, that the moisture which spoils
the fruit when packed 10 saw-duSt and other ab-
sorbents, passes off during the ten days that the
box remains open, instead of being absorbed,
and remaining to keep the grapes damp, and ul
timately mould and spoil them. | have prac-
tised this method for several years without the
loss of single bunch of grapes. So perfect has
been my success that have more confidence in
the preservation Of the grape than any other
fruit. use shailo1O boxes for packing grapes,
that the moisture may the more readily escape,
and that the first layer in the bottom may not
be crushed by the weight above.

THE KITCHEN.

y Talk fthe parlor with its touch-me-not ele-
gance-we care nought for it. Let its covered
magni6cence riot in darkness, its red velvet lie
in Shrouds-its pictures gaze dimly through
Grape, its splendid piano stand dumb in IFS linen
cover-its worsted roses and pinks, and gill
flowers remain unplucted in dark corners, its
carpet bloom unseen. Let shutters and double
curtains exclude every ray of light it is well
come to lis darkness and its solitude, while we
can have the pleasant, airy, yellow aoored, un-
carpeted kitchen.
This is the place for real enjoyment the
kitchen with bright shelves and clean white
tables, white with time. The kitchen with It's
comfortable and easy chairs and broad shining
hearth, and cracking, blazing fire.
We do not mean the kitchen in the great
house, where lazy servants have entire control,
and the lady of the house never sets her foot
within its precincts, but the homely comfortable
kitchen of the weIl-to-do working man, where
the tea-kettlps sing together and the little chill
dren prattle around the mother, while her hands
set the table for tea.
There may be snow IN the cleaning or sun
arrows lodged in the tops of trees-there NAV b.
city walls about or blue water and undulating
hills 1t matters not--in such place, every-
thing smacks of pure comfort.
Make the kitchen attractive and pleasant by
all means. How absurd 10 keep one room IN
constant state, as it were, for the pleasure oI
a chance call, or few party going friends We
wish not further evidence of bad house-keeper
than to see her parlor in full dress, her kitchen
down at the heel, aud her chambers in confu-
sion. Make yonr home-Place the most agreea-
bic, or If your many duties allow not time to
attend to them as thoroughly as YOU wish TO its
adornment and refinement, throw open the
doors of your best room and let your family
enjoy it. Pray, who should not ?-Boston Cul-
