Comfort for Tea Drinkers.

In the life Of most persons a period arrives
when the stomach no longer digests enough
of the ordinary elements Of food to make up
for the natural daily waste Of the bodily sub.
stance. The size and weight Of the body,
therefore, begin to diminish more or less per-
ceptibly. At this time tea comes in as
medicine to arrest the waste, to keep the BODY
from falling away so fast, aud thus to enable
the less energetic powers Of digestion still to
supply as much as is needed to repair the
wear and tear of the solid tissues. No won
der, therefore, that tea should be fayorte,
on the one hand, with the poor, whose supply
Of substantial food is scanty, and on the 9TH
er, with the aged and infirm, especially of the
feebler sex, whose powers of digestion and
whose bodily substance have together begun
to fail. Nor is it surprising that the aged
female, who has barely enough Of weekly in
come to buy what are called the common ne
cessaries of life, should yet spend portion of
her small gains in purchasing her ounce of
tea. She can live quite as well on less COM
mon food, when she takes her tcs along with
it while she feels lighter at the same time
more cheerful, and filter for her work, because
of the Understanding Of Common
Life.

The following suggestions for canning and
preserving fruits and vegetables have been
carefully tested by experience and approved
as simple and reliable, If the fruit be fresh
and healthy when put up, they may safely be
relied on to keep in their natural condition
for a long time, and almost as fresh as when
hrst gathered. An important part Of the sue
cess in canning and preserving fruit consists
in selecting that which is fresh, sound aud
healthy. This done, secure good tin cans, or
ifyou can get them, glass jars and bottles,
aud when filled, be sure that the air is entire
ly expelled, and that they are perfectly sealed
or soldered. Glass jars are to be preferred,
at all times to tin cans BE careful to pre-
serve the fruit as nearly whole and unbroken
in the process as possible Fruit and vcgeta-
blos will always keep better if fresh and I'M
broken than if it is bruised.
The rules for preserving fruits are simple
and few, and can be successfully observed by
any one. There need be no failure if reason.
able care and attention are exercised There
are two ways Of expelling the air from jars or
cans, either Of which win answer. The first
is to heat the fruit after putting it into the
cans or Jars, and the other to pour the hot
fruit into them, which itself will cxpel the
air. The first method is usually preferred.
II preserves the form and beauty of the fruit,
which is likely to become bruised and broken
by pouring it, hot, into the jars. Great care
should be taken in canning cherries, berries.
currants, and all small fruits to do so with.
out breaking or bruising them. When brok.
en-, the juice escapes and presents a clear syr.
up. Too much cooking has the same effect.
To prevent breakage, when glass jars or
bottles are used, they should be immersed in
warm water before pouring in hot fruit; or
wetting a towel IN cold water, and folding il
around the jar before pouring in the hot
fruit, will answer the same purpose.
All fruit and vegetables should be packed
in as closely as they will permit. la heating
the jars, pieces of wood should be laid in the
bottom Of the boiler to keep them off the hot
surface, and as soon as the fruit is sufficiently
heated or cooked, they should be sealed or
soldered, and set away Before setting them
away, be sure that they arc perfectly air-tight.
The least air will spoil the fruit
\ good general rule, in canning fruit, is to
use one pound Of sugar with four pounds of
fruit, and enough water to keep it from burn
ing Tin cans should be soldered. or sealed
with sealing wax, or cement made of equal
parts Of rosin, beeswax and talow. Sealing
wax is best for such cans as have grooved
rims.

Method in Farming.


The method of taking up grass land in gem
cral use is to select pieces for the pillow while
securing the hay crop here little patch
bound out by june crop, there a small piece
that has been seeded long time, and so on,
until from five to ten Of these small pieces
make up the required amount Of hoeing
This is well, better than the method in lrc-
queut use Of keeping up the same land year
after year as illustrated by the remark Of an
old farmer. Said he-'l have raised pota-
toes on the same land every year for more
than twenty-five years" But is there not a
better way These small pieces require too
much turning for team, and running from
one part Of the farm TO another over the in
torvoning grass with tools and manure. Be
sides there is lack Of system that largely
increases the perplexity of conducting farm
affairs to advantage Suppose that ten years
ago the proprietor Of farm had taken up
about oue-seventh part Of his grassland, and
by understanding the wet parts, clearing out
the brush, siumps and stones had fitted this
into one piece for the pillow, clear, smooth
field, had seeded it, and continued in this way
from year to year, he would now have his
grassland all included in these seven pieces,
nearly equal in size free from all impede
monts ready for the pillow or mower. With
what pride could he look over his farm. The
work would be laid out 10 his hand. One
piece only would claim his attention. Upon
this he would be ready to put his entire man
ure heap, ready to spend his best energies,
his most careful study, to make this one piece
a garden for fertility and productiveness.
If this last named method was generally
adopted what change would come over
Vermont farms, and who will say it cannot
be done to advantage
