lMPoRrANr DiSCovERY.-Mr. L. II. Spear
of Bgaintree, after years OF patient study and
a series of experiments, has succeeded in bring
ing before the public an article (recently pa
tened) to prevent decomposition Of fruits of
all kinds, and 10 keep hem in perfectly whole
some condition. We have seen and tasted fruit
put up by this solution, and notwithstanding it
had been canned two wears, the fruit retained
all its freshness and flavor, and was as sweet
and firm DIS when newly ripe. This method of
preserving fruits has been approved by the
Surgeon General of the u. S. army, and has
met thorough analytical investigation and is
pronounced Of rare merit, und to contain roth
ing injurious to health or Objectionable TO diet.
The discovery is very opporlunc as it does away
with all sealing and requires M susar--a great
saving in these times No family should be
without it, One bottle fall will preserve $50

Ice cream is usually considered luxury not
to be INDUCED in by farmers families. 1t is set
down as a city dish, though most of the articles
used in lis preparation are obtained from the
country. 1t is not generally known that the
best ice cream can be made without costly
freezer, in any family where ice and milk are at
hand. To make it, proceed thus: Take two
quarts of fresh milk--if little cream be added
all the better, though ice cream as ordinarily
made is innocent of cream. Scald the milk,
stirring in three tablespoonfuls of corn starch
or arrow root to give it body. These may be
omitted if rot at hand. Stir well to keep from
burning. Beat up four to eight eggs, accord
ing TO convenience. or as rich dish is wanted,
and pour the scalding milk on the eggs, stir
ring well. When cold add sugar and essence
Of lemon, or extract of vanilla, to suit the taste
A very lite salt also improves it. Pour the
cooled contents into a deep tin pail or can,
holding say three quarts; put on the cover and
set in an ordinary wooden water pail. Pound
up ice to the size of small hens eggs--some of
cour'e will be quite fine-pack it in around the
Gin can, mixing in about one pint of either me-
dunn or fine salt. Pack this till it reaches
nearly to the top of the can containing the mix

twenty rniaGtes will be sufficient, and the dish
may either BE served up at once or set away,

cool place for several hours, covering with fan
