Can Your Fruit.

We believe fruit ought to be the COM
monest, cheapest and most universally
used article of diet. 1t should be more
general than bread, vegetables or meat !;
for it should be eaten with them all and at
all meals and in order that we may have
a good variety of it through the year, the
process of canning should be begun when
the first fruit ripens, and kept up through
the fruit season.
A few cans of strawberries, gooseberries,
curTants, raspberries, cherries, blackber-
ries, peaches, pears and plums, will afford
a fruit luxury every day in the year.
Those who have choice apples may can a
portion and so preserve them through the
year. TO be canned, the fruit must be
cooked and put up hot. Let the can be
filled full when heated to the boiling
point, and then sealed. The process is
very simple with the self-sealing cans
They are filled and then sealed with
screw stopper which screws in air-tight.
All fruit should be sWeetened and made
ready for the table before being put into
the cans. The whole secret of preserving
fruit in cans is, simply keeping it from the
air. 1t is heated to exclude all the air
from the openings in the fruit, and sealed
when hot to keep out the air as much as
possible from any vacant places that may
be left between the fruit and the cover.
Every woman should know how to can
fruit as well as make bread. No young
woman should be regarded as marriagea-
BILE till she knows how to can fruit in the
best order. Let the canning process be
carried on with vigor, and every family
supplied with frIlit.-CoLman's Rural
World.

Avoid the Perils or the season.

Autumn, although the most radiant portion of
the American year, has its drawbacks. The heavy
evening dews and morning vapors and the great
disparity in temperature between the night and
day, give rise to many painful disturbances of the
bowels such as collie, cholera morbus, diarrhoa
and dysentery. The digestive organs are also I'M
favorably affected by the change of season, and
dyspeptics suffer most severely during the fall.
arrangements of the liver are likewise common,
and miasmatic fevers prevail in newlysettled dis
tricts and low-lying and marshy localities. These
unpleasant Contingencies of the season. are not.
however, unavoidable. By strengthening, toning
and regulating the system with Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters even the most delicate may escape
them At the expiration of summer all the bodily
powers are in somewhat exhausted state. They
require the wholesome stimulation which this
genial vegetable invigorant supplies. Under its
renovating influence the nervous energy which the
whiting heat of July and August had kept in abey
anee or partially extingushed, crops out afresh;
the faccid muscles their elasticity; the APP
gestion and assimilation become more rapid and
perfect the spirits rise, and the whole organza-
ton acquires its maximum of activity and resistant
power. Even persons of Comparatively feebleeon-
stitutions when thus fortified against the perls of
the season, will have little to fear visitation
from any of the disorders TO which We have re-
ferred. As protection against miasmatic fevers
and all epidemics engendered by malaria Hostel
ter's Bitters may be justly pronounced not only
rivaled but unapproached. Look well to the label
and trade mark, as there many counterfeits and
limitations in the market.

Stranger than Fiction.

A North Germany paper advertlses for
the American heirs of the fortune of a
widow lady of Amsterdam as follows:
The following heirs of Catharine Spelling and
her daughter Dorothy, both of whom died vio-
lent death in 1852, at Amsterdam are requested
to send their addresses Immediately to the Royal
Probate Court ut Amsterdam: Sophia b ehrens-
burg, Otto Kellenaer, Anna Derhing, Maria Der
fling. Joseph Derfing, all of whom emgrated to
the United States since 1854
ERNEST BELGER, Solicitor.
The story of the death of the two wo-
men, so long ago as 1852, and the finding
of their murtlerers, twenty years after, is a
revelation of actual occurrences which are
as terribly tragic as may be found within
the lids of romance. The widow, Catha-
rine Spelling, and her daughter Dorothy,
were joint possessors of diamonds, money
and bonds worth one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, and occupied house by
themselves on Harlan street, Amsterdam.
One day, in the summer of 1852, a placard
appeared on their door. saying they had
gone to the country. Six weeks rolled
around and still the placard remained on
the door. The suspicious of the police
were aroused by the long absence of the
women, and the house was entered. The
placard was found to be fearful decep-
ton; the bodies of the two women were
found ON the floor, their diamonds, money
and bonds missing, and no clue to the muir
derer and thief was found.
In July last the house was torn down,
and in its destruction came to light cir
cumstance equaling in horror the discov-
cry of the assassination of the two lone
women. Between the house taken down
and the adjoining one was space of about
a foot, and confined in this narrow cell
was found the skeleton of man, caught
midway between the top and bottom, and
on the ground beneath him were found the
diamonds, the bonds and the money of the
two murdered women. The assassin, in
to escape had missed his foot
ing, fallen between the houses, and with a
strip of blue sky visible above the high
walls of his living tomb, had starved to
death. T. Herald.

FARM AND PRESIDE.

THE usual time to water cattle or horses
is after feeding in the morning, little be
fore and after feeding at noon, and before
feeding at night. These times are most
convenient. and are probably as good as
any other times that could be chosen.
Copious watering at any one time should
be avoided.
PURIFYING MnK.-Wood charcoal is an
excellent absorbent of the disagreeabie
flavor of garlic in milk. We use it every
spring by dropping piece three or four
inches long and two inches thick into each
pan of milk or into the pitcher in which
milk for table use may be kept.-Er.
An English writer recommends that po-
tatoes not only be stored in dry place,
but wherever practicable they be exposed
from time to time to the fumes of burning
sulphur. This he declares will retard the
progress of disease and prevent further in
lection without in any manner injuring
the tubers for food.
A GENTLEMAN of aesthetic taste and
sound Judgment in all such matters, de-
clares that, leaving profit out Of the ques-
ton. none of the so-called ornamental
trees are equal in ornamental effect to fruit
trees, combining, as they do, beauty OF
their flowers in spring and of their fruit in
autumn.
BAKED STUFFED TOMAToEs.-Select very
large sized Trophy tomatoes and cut out a
space at the stem end, taking care not to
break the outer skin. fill up this cavity
with stuffing of bread rubbed through a
colander, butter, salt, pepper, and little
sugar: put back the stem end, which
should have been cut outin circular form,
carefully, so that it will fit in closely !;
place the tomatoes in baking pan and
bake for one hour. If well managed they
can be made to retain their shape.
To RESTORE CoLoRs TO FADED CLOTH.
Take twenty-four quarts rain water !;
put it in q kettle: then add eight or. log
wood. four or. fine salt, two OF. loaf sugar,
one-eiehth o. gum arabic, one-eighth OF.
borax. Let this boil five minutes, and
while the dye is hot take a clothes brush
and brush the dye on the garment; when
well wet hang up TO dry; when dry brush
the coat well, and iron and press. This
quantity of dye will restore the color to
eight coats, and restores the original color
to any dark cloth.
WORKING BUTTER.-In Olden times, says
a foreign Journal, butter-makers never
themselves about the temporal
ture at which the butter was made, but
continued to churn, perhaps for hours,
until butter came, without being able to
tell why the same operation, few days
before, required but half an hour More
however, it was discovered that
a temperature of $50 F. was the most IA
vorable to butter-making. Still more re-
cent experiments have shown that the tenn
perature should never be higher than $50,
or lower than $50. To determine this
point, thermometer is absolutely indis-
and being both cheap and easily
by any one, there should GER
tainly be one in every dairy.

An Awkward Situation.

A story is told at the expense of a dis
tinguished theological professor at Ando-
yer, whose usually retentive memory is oc-
casionally little treacherOus on proper
names. While visiting neighboring city,
some time since, as he stood upon the de-
pot platform waiting for train, gentle
man stepped up, accosted the professor,
shook hands warmly, and began numerous
inquiries in regard to members of his FAM
lily and the good friends living in A. The
professor was puzzled the face of his cor
dial friend was quite familiar, and he was
evidently no stranger to himself or family,
but to recall his name was beyond any eff
fort of memory. The professor Joined in
a lively conversation, disliking to make the
awkward inquiry, and hoping for some
chance word to reveal the name of his
friend. But it came not, and as the con-
versation went on. the ignorance became
more and more embarrassing. At last a
happy thought came to the professor !; he
would get it without asking. So with an
Indifferent air he asked, g Let me see, for
get just how you spell your name - But
alas for the expedienti With curious
smile, his friend replied, swell, usually,
spell it J-o-n-e-sl' just at that moment
the professor remembered the necessity of
going to the waiting-room to look after his
bag. The inability to spell
'' JONES' or the suggestion that there was
more than one way of spelling it. betrayed
something, certainly, and the professor saw
it.-Ch3IStidn Union

Farmers Diaries.

IF our farmer friends knew how little
trouble it is to keep diary, and with what
satisfaction they would look over it in a
few years, we feel sure they would many
of them be induced to begin one. A simple
record of the weather. and the operations
of the farm, the writing of which would
not occupy two minutes day, will, in af-
ter years, be not only source of pleasure,
but also of great practical benefit; by re-
ference back to the record of former years,
one can see how late he planted certain
crops and at what time they matured at
the end of each year. One or two hours
will enable one to make an abstract, which
should be copied into book kept for the
purpose. The diary may be kept with a
lead pencil, but the abstract should be
copied with pen and ink, and should give
a brief record of the weather and crops, and
also items of interest to the family, prices,

When Should Milk Be Skinned?

Many dairymen, who make excellent
butter, contend that better results are OBJ
tanned by allowing the cream to acquire a
slightly acid taste than to churn it sweet !;
but this acid condition of the cream must
not be COMPOUNDED, however, with sour
ness, which is altogether different and
arises from different causes, such as stand
ing too long, or from close atmosphere,
or from badly cleansed utensils. or from a
general want of care and cleanliness. Y.
A. Willard writes: "When milk is al
lowed to sour before it is skinned the layer
OF cream appears more bulky and of great
er consistency, but it does not produce so
much nor so good quality of butter as
cream properly raised and skinned from
milk before it sours. On this point we
possess some interesting experiments by
Sannet, WHO put aside two equal quantities
OF milk, of which the first, SKINNED after
thirty hours, yielded thirty pounds of but
ter, and the second, skinned after lapse
OF sixty hours, only twenty-seven pounds
OF butter. In another experiment two
equal quantities of milk yielded-the one
when skinned after thirty hours. thirty
one pounds of butter; and the other, after
sixty hours, tWenty-nine pounds of but
ter. In both experiments, in which the
standing, the skinned milk was still
sweet, and the cream not so thick
and less in bulk than that which was
thrown up after sixty hours standing.
The cream which arises first is always richer
in butter than that which is thrown up
later, and it also possesses more of that
peculiar aroma which gives to butter that
rich, nutty flavor and smell which impart
so high degree of pleasure in eating it.
When proper regard has been had to keep
ing the milk at the right temperature
while the cream is rising, and the proper
appliances are had in the dairy, all the
cream that will rise at all will have to
come to the surface in about twenty-four
hours. Some claim that they can get it
all up in less time. Of one thing we may
be assured-the quicker cream can be
made to rise the better its quality for
cream, like all perishable substances, does
not preserve its original properties for any
great length of time. The best as well as
the highest-prieed butter that now goes
into the London market comes from the
continent of Europe, where the greatest
attention is paid to butter-making. In
Holstein one of the points considered
most essential in butter-Inaking is to skim
the milk just at the proper moment; and
tllS ulust anyways tdke pIdcc DeIoTe lue
milk can become sour. Choice, keepable
butter can only result when the milk has
been kept sweet, as the souring develops
curds. The Orange county butter-makers
observe this principle; and the experience
of the best butter-makers, both in this
country and in Europe, appears to have
settled down upon this principle as the
correct one to practice. But while the
cream should be taken from the milk be
fore it is sour, the cream, on the contrary,
is allowed to have a pleasant acid taste be
fore ehurning.''
