Some of those mountain streams afforded the

Dried Fruits.

The return of the season for gathering
fruits and preparing them for market
makes ii our duty to offer some suggestions
to fruit raisers. TO bring the best prices
apples ought to he sliced thin, taking out
the core. There are simple, cheap ma
chimes for doing this at great saving of
labor; but avoid that machine which cuts
the apples into rings. They are scarcely
salable in that shape. They should be
dried bright straw color, taking care to
keep them from wet. Peaches should be
peeled and cut lengthwise of the peach
and great care ought to be taken to dry
them bright. Blackberries must be dried
thoroughly without breaking them. Cher
ries when pitted, sell better with red and
black mixed. They must be thoroughly
dried and no sugar, molasses, or syrup
mixed with them

TO Cook VEGETABLEs.-AG German pro-
fessor says that if one portion of vegetable
be boiled in pure distilled or rain water,
and another in which little salt has been
added, a decided difference is perceptible
in the tenderness of the two. Vegetables
boiled in pure water are vastly inferior in
flavor. This inferiority may go so far, in
the case of onions, that they are entirely
destitute of either taste or odor: though
when cooked in salt water, in addition to
the pleasant salt taste is peculiar sweet
ness and strong aroma. They also contain
more soluble matter than when cooked in
pure. water. Water which contains one
twentieth of its weight in salt is far better,
because the salt hinders the solution or
evaporation of the flavoring principles of
the vegetables.
