oped as IN the temperate zones co u VIC
canuot have fruits growing at our door
throughout the year, we may delight 10
the fact that we have the wit, the ability,
aud the industry to preserve them during
their season for use when out Of season.
DsYING FRUITS.
.Tbero are two conditions essential to de-
cav the presence of water and Of atmos-
pheric air. Deprived Of either Of these
fruits and other organic matters will re-
main for a long time in condition fit for
food. The simplest, and therefore in some
respects the easiest, method Of preserving
fruit, is to dry it or to deprive it OF a
large proportion of its moisture. Accord
ingly, we find this practiced at a very
early day. Cakes of figs and of raislns
are mentioned as much as thousand
years before Christ. Abigail, the wife of
Nabal, brough. them, with other provls-
ions, as peace-oferiDg to David, who
encamped near her husbands estate. UP
to the present time they form an item in
the stock ofprovisiOns for caravans through
desert or wilderness countries. Dried
dates are perhaps nearly or quite as old.
There is no objection TO this mode of
preservation, on the score of wholesome
ness, if the fruit is so preserved that 1t
does not suffer from dust or mould or in
sects, or from the contamination of other
substances. To prepare it fully for d.
cestibility, it needs only that something
like its normal quantity Of water be re-
stored to it. This may be done in the
mouth by chewing and mingling it with
the saliva. 1t is usual, however, TO pre-
pare it for the table by cooking it in water.
This is partly rendered necessary by the
tougheniDg of the fibres in drying, but
more by the faint acquired during The
prolongued exposure to the air IN that
process. Very few of us would relish
fruit that had been peeled and cut and
exposed to the air for whole day, but
fruit in drying is often exposed longer
than that. This faint is removed still
more by the swceteuing usually added and
cooked in. Fruits which are not cut nor
peeled, preserve their favor better-like
berries, raisins, dates, and figs,
Our dried fruits are much poorer than
they should be, for three reasons: they
are too often made from indifferent ma
they are not stored up with suf.
fcient care, nor cooked with sufficient
delicacy.
When fruits contain sugar enough to
make good comfts when dried, they are
more palatable and more wholesome than
any cakes or candies, though it does not
follow that they should be eaten between
meals.

cannot have fruits growing at our door

the fact that we have the wit, the ability,

CANNING FRUITS.

The other method mostly in vogue is by
inclosiug them in air-tight cans. Some.
thing of this kind was practiced by the
ancients with some kinds of wine. These
were tied up in eoat-skin bottles, and sunk
in wells or in pools of water. The mod
ern method is to expel the air by heat,
and then seal tight, usually IN tin, glass,
stone or cartheuware. This dates from
about 1910, "when Augustus de Heine
proposed to use vessel with a valve on
the top Of it, which allowed the air to be
drawn out by means of special appara.
tus, but not again to enter" Experiments
and patents of many kinds followed this,
such as expelling the air by steam, sup
plying its place with gases of various
kinds, and other devices. Jars OF various
kinds have been devised, which can be seal
ed air.tight as soon as the hot cooked fruit
has been put in. Those are most desira.
bio which allow no metal or rubber to
come in contact with the fruit. Of course
glass is preferable to tin for fruit cans.
For vegetables which have little acid to
act upon the tin, it is of less consequence
These cans are upon the whole the most
convenient for family use. where only a
quart or two needs to be opened at once
When much fruits is used, aud for cold
weather, when the fruit that is used cat
be kept some time after it is opened, othel
and less expensive cans are available
Jugs that can be corked, and the cork
coated over with wax, aud jars with 9
cover fitting into shoulder, which can b.
covered an inch deep with mutton tallov
after the fruit has been put III. are avail
able. Almost any kind of coverless jal
can be used by cutting piece of cottoI
flannel two inches wider than the moutl
Of the jar, saturatlng it with hot mix
ture of equal parts Of beeswax and rosn
facing the smooth side with tough, flexible
paper, and then. when the hot fruit is in
putting the cap, paper side up, on the top
and binding down the edges around thu
side of the bottle with strong cord
passed several times around and tied Sc
curely, If the air is all expelled, as thu
fruit shrinks in cooling, the cap will b'
depressed; but if not perfectly tight, thu
top will soon become convex, and thu
sooner the fruit is opened and disposed 0
the better.
In all cases the cans must be hot ant
the fruit hot before canning, and the tenn
perature must hardly fall below the boil
ing point before sealing

THE SUN.
WEEKLY AND DAILY FOR 1875.

The approach of the Presidential election gives
unusal importance to the events and develop
ments Of 1875. We shall endeavor to describe
them fully. faithfully and fearlessly.
THE WEEKLY SUN has now attained circu-
lation of over seventy thousand copies. Its read

The number of men independent in politics is
increasing, and the WEEKLY SUN is their paper
especially. Il belongs to no party, and obeys no
dlctatiOn, contending for principle, and for the

ton that disgraces the country and threatens the
overthrow of Republican institutions. 1t has no
fear of hayes, and seeks no favOrs FROM their
supporters.
The markets of every kind and the fashions are
regularly reported in Its columns
The price of the WEEKLY SUN is one dollar q

MORGAN.


HOMER CLARK of East Trumbull,
having sold slice of ten acres from his
homestead, to Mrs. Mahala Thurber, at
the very fair rate of $11O au acre, pro-
poses to make an investment at Morgan.
To this end he has purchased an acre on
the east side of the railroad, not far
from opposite the station, where he ex-
poets soon tc put up ware house for
storing produce, with dwelling attatch
ed, to which he will transfer himself
when ready. Real estate appears TO be
moving in this direction Beside the
above, there has been a new building put
up opposite the station for the purpose
of furnishing amusement, we suppose. for
passengers awaiting the trains by taking
game of billiards. The annoyance of
running such an institution within the
corporation, having suggested this loca
ton, just outside. ag
MIR. H. B. Dean, seems to have made I
general movement in these matters. Be-
side the purchase of the Latimer store
and stock, mentioned last week, he has
also bought the two store rooms occu-
pied by hims elf and partner. in Mrs. Ran
da'Ps brick block, giving in trade Ciev e.
land property. He has also made a pur-
chase of the Sperry cabinet shop, between
his residence and the bridge. The building
has been moved back and it is to be fitted
up as butter factory. The considera-
tion was $500. He also traded farm
lands with Edward Nevison, by which
he has added to tract of land owned by
him some mile and half south of the
creek between so aud go acres, squaring
out alarm of 500 acres which is to be
put to dairy purposes for carrying on his
butter factory.
Beside gobbling up so large portion
of the salable estate of Morgan Mr.. Dean.
offered to buy out our friend Wilcox,
whose farm and homestead isopposite his
own, consisting of Al acres. That he
was in earnest, was shown by proposal
to hand over his check for s., 900. The
boldness of the overture, was rather
startling to the Ex-Mayor, who breathcd
freer after recovering from it. Ead the
offer been two or three thousand more,
there is no knowing what the result
might have been.
Mr.. 2. Sperry, has been seriously in
disposed, for some time past, but at. last
accounts his symptoms were more ia
vorable.
Dolph, the photographer, IS as happy
as snow bird over lively business in
picturlng the people. If he should get
through this job, he thinks, his next
move will be to Ashtabula. He is master
of his business, and will do well emo ugh
wherever he sticks his stakes.

STANDARD TKIMMNG.-A private let
ter from a.friend journeying in Switzer-
land, speaks of the manner OF trimming
the grape in the vineyards Of that region.
The vine is trained to a standard of some
three feet in height, and the trellis, is en-
urely dispensed with. The gathering on
this account, is much flcilitsted, while the
labor Is considerably lessened The dark
colored grapes, the writer says, are not
eaten to any considerable extent. the
white being the most popular.
