Yet what Western farmer wastes would
make Yankee farmer rich. Talk about the

Say what you please, fruit is much i'm
proved for human digestion by cooking.
Many can eat good ripe fruit with impunity,
and even benefit, iu raw state. But when
this is not the case. cooking is the cure.
Apples may be cooked in a great variety of
ways, from that simplest and best, baking,
UP to a birds nest pudding. And how de-
liciOus. No other fruit can vie with them
What a variety of flavor, of sweetness and
scidity, to suit each taste and to give lux
ury to all. Think of baked sweet apples
and milk! Is there any other thing on the
earth as good? And now's the time to have
'em.
HoosIER GRAPEs.-On the farm of

the northwest corner of this town.
ship, is a grape vine, ofthe Delaware species,
which is about six years old, and from the
main stem of which four branches shoot out,
measuring in the aggregate two hundred
feet. From these four branches, as counted
by our informant, 2.175 well developed
punches of this luscious fruit hangin all its
luxuriousness. This rather disposes of the
Union county grape vine, which we noticed
week or two since.-Exchange.
WORTH HUSDRED DoLLARs.-The fol-
lowing directions, carefully observed, will
prevent those cuticular and osseous abomi-
nations known as felons: As soon as the
disease is felt, put directly over the spot fly
blister, about the size of your thumb nail,
and let it remain for six hours, at the explra.
ton of which time. directly under the surface
of the blister, may be seen the felon, which
can instantly be taken out with the point OF
a needle or lancet.
SEASON FOR TREE PLANTyNa.-This para
graph IS found in the Courier Journal: Au-
tumn transplanted trees have the advantage
of those trsnsplanted in the spring, in the
better setting of the earth about the roots
so that they are ready for an early start
But there are two things to look to, or they
will be likely to be worse off than spring.
set trees: The wind often whips them
about, and makes a hole around the stem

the earth away from them with spade

earth mot hard lumps) about them, pressing

other difficulty is the hardening of the
surface of earth into crust This
you would have the trees do we'll through
summer. Trees set out in spring often have

FRYING Picked PoRK.-That the follow.
ing is a valuable lesson abundant testi
mony is at hand. Pork can be cooked in
the frying pan so as to be palatable and no,
unwholesome, and this is exactly the way t.
do it: Ruth Lee is the immediate nauthor
in Noores Rural. Cut the slices just thick
enough to fey through quickly and cove
them with cold water, which should be al
lowed to heat slowly on top of the stove
but not boil. Half cup full of sweet mllt
| added to the water hastens the freshening-
besides giving nice flavor to the meat
| When you would have it taste very much
| like fresh pork soak the slices in cold water
over night or few hours before cooking
but it does not brown as readily as when tbs
water is brought nearly to to the boilins
point. just before the water boils, take on
the pork, and where much of It is used dur
ing the year, it Is good economy to save Thu
water in some dish kept for the purpose
When it is cold, remove the fat, which afte
being boiled again to expel the water, makes
excellent soap grease. When you are read,
to fry the meat, have a brisk fire, rub tn,
spider over with a slice of pork, then dill
each one in -four and fry quickly to ligh
brown, but do not leave your post till tb
last one Is safely on the platter. Never pou

with little pepper, and if you wish to hav
