Use only fresh fruit and that which is perfect
ly ripe-not too soft, but just right to eat well
Fill your cans full of fruit; put the in ket-
tie of cold water; put few iron rings in the bot.
tom of the pot to prevent the cans from breaking;
then put a slor fire at first making it hotter
after the can has become hot. Too great heat
at first will crack the caus at the bottom. Mean
while makea nice syrup of white sugar, and when
your fruit is half done cooking pour your syrup
over the fruit in the cans, and continue boiling
until done; remove from the fire and seal. Some
people cook the fruit in the cans, but it does not
preserve its natural flavor as well, neither will
the syrup be as clear Cooking the fruit in the
cans is the proper way of canning fruit, in my
estimation. / use half a pound of sugar to a
quart jar of fruit; cherries, peaches, and rasp-
berries will do with six ounces. Cook quart jars
20 TO 80 minutes, according to hardness of fruit.
Keep watch of your cans while boiling, and as
the fruit in the can lowers, fill mp with well-ri-
pened fruit; next morning test your jars; if they
do not hold, boil them over again. In ten days
from time of canning test your fruit again, and
if the cover holds them it will keep for years, as
have some now nearly fouryears old which look
as if they might keep four years longer. By tes-
ting ten days after canning, you will never be
awakened in the night by loud report, as of a
gun going off, as l have heard people tell abont,
and breaking some half-dozen cans nearest to it.
Keep your cans in cool, but not damp place.

Now that mad dogs are coming to the surface
and creating CONSERVATION among the people, the
following symptoms of hydrOphobia and direc-

IN indianapolis the other day, three and a
half years old child climbed through an attic
window and walked along the edge of the roof,
thirty-two feet from the ground, the whole length
of the house, and there stood unconcerned and
enjoying the prospect. Did the hired help see
her and yell out: "COme down, you brat, or I'll

quarter to ride down town to fetch the chlds
father, and then spend that inflated currency for

Middlefeld farmer has ''rastled" severely, this

Here are some more methods of fighting this
pestiferOus insects. The Mound City Sentinel
says:
Mrs. Briggs, who lives near Xenia, Bourbon
County, WIS left by her husband this spring in
care of the farm. This summer the chnch bugs
destroyed her wheat field, and then started for
the oats which grew near She had deep fur
row plowed with the perpendicular side next the
oats. This DISTRACTED the bugs. sufficiently to
gather them in large numbers in the bottom of
the furrOw. For two days the whole force of the
farm was employed in heating water and scald-
ing them. The bugs were destroyed and the oats
saved. The first instance on record where a crop
has been saved from these unwelcome pests by
any artificial means.
The Garnett Journal gives this instance
Mr.. Martin Brook, an enterprisng farmer, To-
Gated five miles southeast of this city, has very
unique way of entertaining the cbinch bug fami-
ly when they visit his premises. He plOws a
moderately deep ditch between the small grain
and the corn. Along this he keeps log drag
ging from up till 10 o'clock, and from 3Oclock
p. m. till shutdown, during which time the per-
seryering chinches simply roll over and get up in
the same place; and when the chilly night draws
NIGH he kindly covers them with hay, and builds
a fire over them lest they should catch cold.
They appreciate his kindness and respect his
coEnfeld, and as a consequence, he has As acres
of the finest corn in The country.

The fun Of the CLING.
GEORGE WASHINGTON.

George Washington q Ratchet had,
And chopped bis fathers tree
deed betting no good lad,
But bad as bad could be.
When home at night his father came,
With daily toll worn out,
No rest he gave his weary frame,
But went and looked about
And when he saw his tree was marred,
"a cherry, tall and fair.
Its smooth young bark all foully scarredJ
He wept, and tore his hair.
Then for his son he loudly called:
George Washington, appear!
And George. expecting TO be mauied,
Sad, Father, an here
Then asked bis sire: Who did this wrcngi
who hacked my precious treef"
And George, not hesitating long.
Said: Father, IL was me.
II cut the tree you love 50 well;
That cruel deed was mine;
You know lie cannot tell;
Ny ways TO truth incline
The old man took cov.hide thin,
His son and heir to welt;
Without q word he did begin
His soul no mercy felt.
Then, when his fury was appeased-
But ere George ceased 10 DuEn-
The senior said: " Ny son, be pleased
This lesson now to learn:
Much as liar despise,
value more my trees;
So, if your skin you bencefOrth prize,
You must not hack at these.
And now, my boy. just mind your eyes,
If son of mine you be;
I'd rather hear ten thousand lies
Than lose a single tree"

Color OF PLoUGH.-A quaint writer in an
agricultural exchange says, that the quality of q
crop very much depends on the color of the
rIongh used. A bright plough is the thing to
produce a good crop, while dim rusty one is
poisonous to it. What is singular, securing the
pIouqh by hand with sand, &c, won't do; it must
