Canning Peaches.

| Select the rich, juicy, rare-ripe peach
es; peal, halve them, and throw them
into clear, boiling syrup, made with
one-third of pound of loaf sugar to a
pound of the fruit, and a tablespoonful
of water. Clear the syrup as it comes
to a boil by skimming it thoroughly,
then throw in the peaches and the pits.
Let them boil gently few minutes, till
they become transparent, then remove
them from the fire, take them out with
a skinner and put them in the jars,
which have made ready by heating in
water which has been gradually brought
to the boiling point. F'ill the jars two
thirds full, and fill up with syrup to the
top, taking care to put fair proportion
of the pits in each jar. The filling
should be done rapidly, and the cover
screwed down while the jars are hot
The pits will be found a great improve
ment. They not only impart fine
flavor, but are of medicinal value
Peach pits are a specific for dyspepsia,
and small paper of them is sometimes
sold by the apothecaries, as a remedial
agent for 20 cents. The amount of sugar
specified just makes the peaches sweet
enough to eat, and not any too much so.
The above method for canning peaches
is a good one for all kinds of fruits, with
this proviso, that berries, blackberries,
strawberries and the like, require only a
scald in the boiling syrup before putting
into cans. Some kinds of pears require
longer cooking than ripe peaches. Cher
ries may be simmered few minutes;
currants require only scald huckle-
berries also; currants and raspberries, or
currants and huckleberries are good
canned together.-[ Boston Courier.

The Best Cros, for hutton

All the thoroughbred sheep are quite
too dear in price to be raised for the
butcher. The fine-wools generally are
small, and would not pay for this pur.
pose. The long woods furnish quite toe
much fat in proportion to the lean to be
profitable to the consumer. The South
Downs furnish an abundance of fine
grained, lean meat, and are only defec-
tive in size. If we cross the common
Merino ewes of the country (which are
mixture of native SaXony and Span
ish Merinos,) with South Down rams,
we obtain favorite class of lambs for
the New York, and, we presume, all
Eastern markets; they are hardy, ma
ture quickly, and show strongly the
South Down points. If we cross South
down ewes, or these grades, with Cots
wold or Leicester ram, we shall increase
the size, secure more rapid growth,
with flesh of excellent flavor. If the
object be to furnish early lambs for the
butcher, this is perhaps as good cross
as could be made. The very high price
paid for lambs in May and June make
it very desirable for farmers to have a
good stock on hand. A lamb four mos
old is often worth more than yearling.
The crosses We have indicated are high
ly priced by the mutton producers who
supply the market at Norwich, England,
where, upon an average, six or eight
thousand yearlings are sold every week.
