HE Couldn't BEAR PRosrERITY.-There
is class of men of whom it is truthfully
said, they cannot bear prosperity. When
fortune goes against them, they conduct
themselves with correctness but let the tickle
dame smile upon them, and they rush at
once into all sorts of folly and intemperance.
Prosperity has ruined people who, so long
as they had to struggle with the world, were
very excellent and exemplary members of
society.
There was singular illustration of this in
the police court the other day. A good for
nothing looking wretch was brought up
charged with drunkenness. 1t was clear
case. The testimony showed that he had
! been on spree for week. He was asked
what he had to say for himself.
"Well, your honor" said he, "me and my
old woman never did live easy together"
"That's no excuse for your getting drunk, VI
said the court.
"You're right, yer honor, and so it amt
We use to fight like cats and dogs together
drinking only made it worse, put in the
court.
That's true. She discouraged the life
out of me, and kept me poor, until last
week, when
swell, what did she do last weeki"
"She died, yer honor"
| sand you have been drunk ever sincel"
"Yes, yer honor, never could bear pros
perity."

SEAsoNABLE HINTs.-Strawberry beds
should now be moved, and the vines scat
tered over the beds and allowed to remain
at least during the present and first half of
next month.
Trees transplanted this season should
have the soil stirred up about them aud the
mulching renewed.
1t is a good plan to mulch with short
grass, this month, the newly planted celery.
No time should now be lost in setting out
celery plants. We prefer the trench and
single row of plants. After setting out the
plants apply good dose of rich short ma
nure placed firmly, and water copiously.-
There should be two foil waterings a-day-
morning and evening. To bring the plants
on well, manure water is excellent.
The Purple Top Turnip can now be sown
for domestic purposes. Sprinkle with it
some Black Spanish Radish seed, aud cover
lightly with rake. They will produce =
good crop for winter use from a small bed
When taken up in November they should be
buried In dry part of the garden.
The old wool os the Raspberry plot should
be removed as soon as it is done bearing. II
gives additional strength to the new wood
The same should be done with the Old
Blackberry canes.
There is nothing that brings a garden up
to its work so we'll and makes it always
look fresh even in the dryes, seasons, a
frequent stirring up of the ground and th'
careful removal Of all weeds. - Gssmanton'

CANNING CoRN.-We copy the following
from that good periodical, the Prairie Far
n'er:-Some one is inquring for recipe
for canning corn. Last fall we saw in the
Farmer the modus operundi of canning corn
followed by factory in NewYork among
other operations they boiled it six hours
We followed the rule laid down but with
no better success than your correspondent.
We did some, however, but not by canning
nor by dryingiit, but by sailing it down in
crooks or tubs. Our method is as follows:
Take your crock or tub, put in layer Of
corn two or three inches, then a sprinkling
of SALT you must use your own Judgment for
the quantity of salt, as made no note of the
amount. When your vessel is full press it
down, put weight on it and let it stand
In the course of three or four days it will
ferment, but that is no evidence that the
corn is spelling, for it will ferment. 1t is
prepared by soaking in water over night,
change water as often as necessary to make
it fresh enough to suit. Cook the same a,
green corn. This receipt is old; no doubt
a great mary know its value and others do
not. would like to hear from those who
have canned corn successfully.

cover oyer with another piece of bread /;
when your sandwich is ready, cut them in
any shape you like, but rather small and
tastily, and serve. You may keep them in
cool place if not wanted, as they will keep
good under cover twelve hours

How TO MAKE TOMATO FIss.-Pour boil
ing water over the tomatoes in order to re.
move the skins then weigh them and place
them in stone jar, with as much sugar as
you have tomatoes, and let them stand two
days; then pour off the sirup, and boil and
skim it until no scum rises. Then pour it
over the tomatoes, and let stand two days as
before, then bell and skim again. After the
third time they are fit to dry, if the weather
is good if not let them stand in the sirup
until drying weather Then place on large
earthen plates or dishes, and put them in
the sun to dry, which will take about week, +,
after which pack them down in small
wooden boxes, with fine white sugar between
each layer. Tomatoes prepared in this man
ner will keep for years. Ge7naant0,cn 1el
