To Preserve Peaches.

Place in an iron kettle two quarts of good
sweet, fresh wood ashes, (not coal ashcs)
and lei il boii for few minutes. Put In a
dozen or SD of peaches and keep the pot
boiling; moderately count twenty and take
out the peaches, throwing them immedi-
ately into cold water. Take one in your
h: nd and with the thumb gently remove
the skin; il will slip off almost without aid
leaving round, beautiful ball iu your
hands; pass this TO another pail Of water,
from which they may be stoned or quar-
terrell as may he desired. If the lye fails
TO affect the skin, the ashes are not good.
or it is not streng enough, and more ashes
should I've added. Remember that wood
ashes only should lie used. The peaches
should on no account be allowed to remain
in lYe long enough to he cooked even the
| slightest.
The secret Of boiiling fruit successfully
Is not in the quantity Of sugar used, not
the absence of wafer, or in the length OF
fine boilcd-all of which were actual re-
quremcnts in the old fashioned manner of
preserving-bui the secret lies In there be
ing no germ Instrumentation left undesiroy-
ed in the fruit itself, and in the actual ex-
pulsion and exclusion OF the air. Boiling
fruit expands it, and to make room for the
expansion the air must be expelled, and
hermeticaliy sealing the bottles while the
irut is in this heated condition precludes
the possibility Of the air again entering
while the bottle and fruit are cooling.
When quantity of peaches are ready,
prepare your bottles by putting them in
warm water to season them. Place upon
the stove clean porcelain or brass kettle
with two quarts of water, and perhaps a
pound Of white sugar or sweeten as dcsir-
ed. When boiling put in quantity ofthe
prepared peaches, and the moment they
boil positively all throughout. with fork
ttke out a peach at time and fill one bot
tie, being careful not te crush or bruise
them; then with a hot teacup fill mp to the
brim of the bottle with some Of the boiling
syrup, and seal at once. s'f
, Place each bottle on tin plate by the
side Of the kettle and let II be there until il
is filed and sealed. Care should be taken
to put into the kettle as nearly as possible
quantity of fruit proportiona:e to the bot
tie, as It Is desirable not to renew the kct'
Gle while any fruit remains in the syrup
as they win boil too much and color the
syrup. II one or two should be left over
iemovc them to dish, and when the 9th.
rs are done, place these 10 the kettle. give
them boil and bottle by themselves OF
have them for tea. When the syrup is ex
hausted add more water and sugar Have
a kettle of boiling water on the stove
and using this you win not have to wal,
long for tl,e syrup TO boil. Fourteen ordi-
nary peaches halved win be sufcien. for Q
quart bottle, and ten when the stones arr
not removed. = f'sfa'1 ali9 9s'iis eiiA ~

Bohemians in America.

4 pleaaant letter from Mr. Charles G.
Leland TO the Philadelphia Press cortain
the following curious item, which will in
terest the advocates of Womans Rights
The writer is describing company of Bo-
hemian emigrants whom he encountered
at Madison, Wis:
Among these emigrants there were none
who could speak a word of English, but
there were among them two intelligent
girls who had been in Vienna and Prague
and who spoke German fluently. They
seemed to be the managers and connduc-
tors Of the band-one, the youngest and
best looking, acting as captain. Few per
sons are aware of the extent of Bohemian
emigration TO this country. Most persons
suppose them to be "a sort OF Germans
and confound them with that race; and /
have beeneconfdently assured that their
language is "only German patois, while
in fact English and German seem almost
the same language when compared to it
The Checbs with whom we conYersed
complained that their life in Bohemia was
a very hard one, worn down by exactions
and intolerabl9 customs; and l could not
but congratulate them when reflected
that two years ofwell applied industry in
the fertile and cheap land OF Minnesota
would in most cases render them comfort
able and happy TO a degree which they had
never imagined when at home--in what
Sir Grey Steele calls ''the realm of Berne"

CUTTING UP CoRN.-Ths question be-
tween topping corn, or cutting it up at the
roots, viii probably always be debatable
one. The quality of the fodder, the ease
of husking, the ripening of the ears, are all
elements that enter into the estimate, and
that will vary as prominence is given to
either of these. But as the ripered ears
are the great object of corn-growing, the
following statements, from Aliens Ameri-
can Farm Book, have an important bear
ing on the matter:
The stalks of corn ought never to be cut
above the ear, but always near the ground,
and for this obvious reason; the sap which
nourishes the grain is drawn from the
earth, and passing through the stem enters
the leaf, where e change is effected, analo-
gous to what takes place in the blood,
when brought to the surface oftbe lungs in
the animal system; but with this peculiar
difference, however, that while the blood
gives out carbon and absorbs oxygen,
plants, under the influence of light and
heat, give out oxygen and absorb carbon.
This change prepares the sap for cohden
sation and conversion into the grain. Bat
the leaves which thus digest the food for
the grain are above it, and it is while pas
sing downward THAI the change of sap into
grain principally takes place. Ifthe stalks
be cut above the ear. nonrishment is at an
end. 1t may then become firm aid. dry,
but it will not increase in quantity, while,
if cut near the root ii not only oaprop,i-y
ates the sap already in the plant, but il 81
so absorbs additional matter from the at :,
mosphere, which contributes to its weight
and pcrfecrion. i-'' ~ tit..i'
