FARM AND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS
Canning Fruit and Vegetables.

This is the season of the year in which
fruit and vegetables abound, and all pru-
dent housewives will lay in store for win
ter use. Fruit is particularly healthy in
the hot weather, when its cooling and anti
bilious influence are most needed, but it is
tbad to take in the winter, and especially
in the early spring. The same is true of
tomatoes and the other perishable veg
etables which abound about those days.
Whoever tries dish of tomatoes with his
beefsteak in April, is ready to bless the
man or woman who invented the process of
canning This consists simply in exclu-
ding the air, for every one knows that de-
cay can only occur where oxygen is present.
This is the great agent of life, and it is also
the great agent of death, and is constantly
active in accelerating all organized matter
on its round from life to death, and death
to life.
Many more would enjoy the luxury of
canned fruit and vegetables if they knew
how simple the process is. They have an
idea that it is some patent operation, and
must be done in patent cans, whereas jugs
and bottles are just as effectual for preserv-
ing fruit, as the most complicated cans.
We have preserved tomatoes, blackberries,
etc, for years in common gallon and half
gallon jugs. There is no hocus pocus about
the process. Stew the tomatoes, and pre-
pare them as you would for the table. Put
them into the jug and place the jug in hot
water long enough to drive out the air,
then drive home tight cork and the work
is done. To make it doubly sure you can
seal the cork with melted beeswax or rosin.
The process for fruit is similar. Be par
ticular to label the jugs with the name of
the preserved fruit or vegetable, or you
may open jug Of pie-plant, when you
want raspberries. 1t is not bad idea to
put also on the jug the date of its prepa-
ration, so that the old stock may not be-
come mixed up with the new.
This Juggling up of fruits and vegetables,
has the advantage of being much cheaper
than the common canning process. Of
course bottles will answer as we'll as jugs.
Military commanders resent the idea of
being bottled up, but berries and vegetables
make no objection to it, and remain very
quiet, without the least sign of ferment or
rage, provided, always that the bottling is
done up thoroughly.

Insurance Notice.

On and after the tenth day of April,
1872, The Home Reserve force of Insur-
ance Agents belonging to "The Pennsylva-
mia Central Insurance Company" will leave
Pottsville in heavy force, and occupy ten
different counties of the State, where they
will continue to act as the Company's
Agents until full line of Local Agents
can be appointed, when they will be recalled.
AS body Of men, believe they are supe-
rior Insurance Agents, and most Of them
speak the English, French, Welsh and Ger
man Languages. The City Insurance
Journals, with all their sneers at Mutual
Companies, and continual cry of Fraud
Fraud ! &c., cannot muster any better In
surance material Why don't the City In
surance papers tell the public that no Mu-
tual Company broke or failed during the
last ten years? Why don't they tell the
public that more than half the Stock Gem
panies started within the last ten years
have? 1t is a well-known fact that Mutual
Companies cannot fail.

Check-Reins.

Mr.. Agnell has issued most valuable
and interesting pamphlet on treatment of
horses. The subject Of check-reins is re-
ceiving good deal of attention just now,
and we give a few opinions from exper-
fenced horsemen. The Hon. Charles Flint,
in an address delivered before the Mas
sachusetts Board of Agriculture, said.-
If nfan has hard days work to do, if
he wants to exert his muscles and sinews,
he must have those muscles free and un-
confined, nobody who has tried it can deny
that and yet how does it happen that a
principle which every farmer, every me-
chanic, every laboring man of any character
would admit in his own case, is so con-
stantly disregarded in the case of the hard
working and often ill-used horse?
An American gentleman travelling in
Europe, made notes concerning the use of
check-reins, with the following result In
Ireland and Scotland he did not see single
check-rein used on any draught-horses, and
only loose reins were used in the case of
carriage horses. In England, Italy, and
France, they were scarcely used at all and
never, or almost never on draught horses.

CSy-A fine grapery is attached to the Ag-
ricultural Department at Washington. 1t
is 150 feet in length, 80 feet wide, with
glass roof and sides, with ample ventilation
by means of hinged sashes in the roof and
sides, and so constructed as to exclude the
rain. This building was erected for the
purpose of cultivating and testing the most
valuable varieties Of foreign grapes, with a
view of encouraging this industry, which is
annually increasing throughout the coun-
try. The vines have been planted some
three feet apart on the outside of the walls
and trained through openings in the brick
walls, and run up the inside on wire trellis
work toward the centre Of the roof and
very near the glass. The heating in win
ter is by means of hot water circulating
through iron pipes running lengthwise the
building. BY this arrangement the required
temperature can always be preserved, the
rain and dews excluded, the rays of the sun
unobstructed, and the full benefit Of the
rains to the roots of the vines secured. The
ground inside is covered with tan bark and
stands of various foreign plants are placed
around the interior, the whole forming a
novel and pleasing scene There are up
wards Of one hundred varieties now grow
ing in this room, and bearing fruit for tho
first time. The dark colors seem to be ar
ranged ON one side and the light colors on
the other.

RUNNING A STORE BY STEAM.-On the Up
per Sacramento River novel business has,
for number of years, been conducted by
Captain George W. Case, which partakes
somewhat of the romantic style Of the border
traders of early times, with this difference
that well-appointed steamer supplies the
place of the primitive canoe, and the custo'
mers, instead of being the redskins Of the for
est, are well-to-do families settled upon and
owning ranches along the banks ofthe Sacra-
mento River.
Captain Case commenced trading between
Sacramento and point few miles bove Co:
lusa about eight years ago, by taking a small
barge load of goods as high up the river as he
wished to 60, paying steamer to tow him up,
and then dropping down with the current
from house to house to do his trading, supply
ing the settlers with whatever goods they
wanted, and taking in exchange all kinds of
produce, especially butter, eggs, hides, and
peltries-anything that could be converted
into cash, and then re-converted into more
goods for another trip. Some four years ago
Captain Case built small steamer, at a cost

TREATMENT OF MENINGITIS.

We regard the following information,
handed us by lady of great respectability,
now residing in Greenville, as too important
to be withheld from the public. We hope the
papers will give it circulation; it may be the
means of saving many valuable lives. Know
ing the source whence it comes, we can conf
dently ask for the most serious attention.,
The lady we refer to, (Mrs. L. 7. DeG,)
states in note that "the remedy was sent to
me by my esteemed friend and relative, DR..
j. j. Robertson, of Washington, Georgia, a
man of great intelligence and ability"
"The disease called Cero Spinal Meningitis,
is improperly named and hence the improper

tions, and found it the case in every instance.
The symptoms are very like those of infam-
nation Of the membranes, admit, but treat
ed as such, every case will prove fatal. have
had over hundred cases; the first seven had
died when was called in consultation. Find
ing all these had been treated by depletion
and had died, I at once made an examination
of two of the bodies and decided to change
the mode of treatment, and it proved sue
cess in nearly every case.
When the case is first taken, at once shave
the back of the head, and in the most rapid
manner possible raise blister from the back
of the head to the end of the spine; in severe
cases I saturate flannel with turpentine and
apply it and run hot iron over it until it
blisters, or rub on the turpentne and set it on
fire, or any other way to produce a bad blister
as soon as possible; then give quinine in ten
grain doses until forty or fifty grains are
taken-give ten grains every two or three
hours let the patient drink freely of pepper
tea, and also take tablespoonful or two of
whisky every four or FIVE hours, and give him
ten grains of the bromide of potass every six
hours. These doses are for adults, If the
case is negro, it will require more stimulants
than white person, and especially of red
pepper tea,
If the case is taken in time, this treatment
will cure nearly every one, but if neglected
for an hour or two, it may fail, I saw cases

of $4,000, and fitted her up for the trade
which he had found so profitable and to ena-
BILE him to keep up with his increasing busi-
ness. The floating store was supplied with an
assorted cargo of goods worth from $4,000 to
$4,000, and with the assistance Of pilot and
an engineer, round trips have been made
about once in two weeks ever since. The set
tiers along the river find this floating store a
great convenience, and one Of them informs
us they get goods from the steamer just as
cheaply as they could from merchants in town.
The captain and his steamer are anxiously
looked for every week, up or down, when he
makes his regular calls, does his trading and
gossiping, and posts his friends on the news Of
the outside world. The call made, business
transacted, and "all ashore" given out, they
haul in the bow line or stern anchor, as the
case may be, and steam on to the next rancho
The enterprise of Captain Case has been we'll
rewarded, as it deserves to be, for he owns a
comfortable property in Sacramento, besides
his steam store, a fine stock of goods, and be-
ing in the enjoyment of an uninterrupted and
increasing trade-Yolo Democrat.

bled and they died an hour after; others we're
purged and died with symptoms of cholera;
Others had every appearance of tetanus or
lockiaw. The symptoms and name given the
disease mislead the physician in his treatment:
To sum up: Blister the back Of the head
and spine in the most expeditions manner pos,
sible, and keep it sore give full doses Of
quinine and pepper tea, and occasionally whis-
ky, and keep the patient under the influence
Of bromide of potass. If the bowels are dis
posed to act, do not hesitate to give an opiate
to check them or if there is any acute pain
not relieved by the bromide Of potass, give
opiates to relieve it, and do not be afraid of
them, for they often seem to make stupid,
comotose patient rouse up. Avoid all deple-
ting or depressing remedies."-GreeaviNs En-

PApER1Na RooMs.-Don't try to paper will

PAPER1NG ooMs.-Don't try to paper with
a carpet down. Make paste, cut bordering
and the paper the day before. If the wall
has been whitewashed, it must be washed in
vinegar to neutralize the alkali in the lime.
If papered before and you wish the paper re-
moved, sop with water and it will peel off, If
convenient provide long board, wide as the
paper, though table or two will do. The
paper must be measured, placed right side
down on the board then with brush pro-
ceed to lay on paste, not too thickly, but over
every part and be careful that the edges re-
ceive their share. When completed, double
within three inches of the top, the paste sides
being together; carry to the wall, mount your
chair, and stick your three inches pasted paper
on the wall at the top. That holds it; now
strip down the other, and see that it fits just
right; if not, peel down, make right, then
press to the wall from the centre right and
left. Leave no air under, or when warm it will
expand, bursting the paper. Of course the
paper must be matched it will not do to meas
ure by line unless the walls are perfectly
plumb. Small figures make less waste, and
make small room look larger. Stripes make
a low room higher, and if there are no figures
between, or in the stripe to match, there is no
waste and no trouble in putting it on. If a
narrow border is the style, let it be bright, If
the paper is neutral but if that be bright,
the border had better be dark and neutral.
If the paste be made too thick, the paper will
be apt to crack and peel off; if too thin, it will
saturate the paper too quickly, and make it
too tender in putting on. A counter-duster
brussels brush) is nice to brush the paper to
the wall. White, clean cloths will do, hut it
will not do to rub the paper with this; being
damp, the paint or color rubs off the paper.
The tables must be dried each time after past
ing. for the same reason. Paste under paper
must not freeze, neither dry too quickly. IF
whitewashing is done after papering, tack
double strips Of new paper wider than the
border all around the room.
