Fruit Butter.

Since enterprising fruit grow
ers are planting orchards of APP I
pie, pear, peach ard ounce trees
by the twenty acres, and by
tie hundred acres, and give
them the best possible attention,
it need surprise no one to learn
that a steam canning establish
ment in New York, using cans
that hold from one to three hun
dred pounds each, isnow putting
mp eighteen thousand pounds OF
.tfruit butter" day. 1t is
manufactured Fl ON dried apples
peaches, pears and ounces,
lwhen the latter can be had) as
we'll as from undried fruit
| That very enterprising journal,
the american Grocer, has a col
Iumn on the subject.
/ After dried fruit is picked o.
yer, carefully washed and assor-
ted, it is soaked and put into a
large copper kettle, which holds
fifteen hundred pounds. This
/ is surrounded by steam jack
ct, which heats the fruit and
cooks it four hours. The fruit
is constantly stirred by steam
driven machinery. After it is
sufficiently cooked, it is forced
through a sieve, which revolves
under row of pestles by which
process the sieve keeps back
cores and humps, while the ''but'
ter" is brought to a uniform
condition by the pestles. II
designed for immediate use, It'll
put up in pals, or buckets, a
generally called in this country
, holding from five to thirty-tiv
| pounds.

: article by the barrel, in place Of
apple butter and apple-sauce
used by generations now pass

be cooked, canned and eaten. :

a correspondent of the Herald

A correspondent of the Herald
suggests the following plan of
preventing horses running away:
Take q small cord, tie a loop at
one end, pass the loop over the
horses head. attachitwith a string
to the throatlatch sothatit will not
fall too far down; let the other
end pass into the carriage. IF
the horse runs all you have to do
is to pull on the cord, which will
choke the horse and infallibly stop
him in a minute or two, as he cam
not run if his breath is stopped.
As soon as he stops let go the
cord and suffer him again to
breathe"

The Prospect for Farmers.

The American Agricultural
saws: As rule, the price OF ag-
ricultural products in Europe de-
termines the price in America
Hitherto the cost of labor here
has been double and treble what
it was in Europe. Our products
had to compete with the products
of this cheap labor, and pay
freights over long distances in'o
the bargain. We have been able
TO complete, because we lived Co
nomically and comparatively rich
in what have called natural
manure" We have grown cheap
wheat and corn on our new land,
because we have to pay no "rent,
end because every busbel OF wheat
we have grown has found an a
mount of manure IN the solI
which would have cost the English
farmer at least 5U cents. we art
now getting less OF this natura
manure. We fud sn increasing
necessity for furnishing manure tC
our land. We should now find !
q hard matter to compete witt
the English and European farm
ers, if they could get labor at th'
old rates. But fortunately to
us. and fortunately, as | think
for them and all concerned, laho
is now nearly or quite as higI
there as here.
This places American farmer

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
English Grain Market.

WITH fine forcing weather during the past
week the crops have been rapidly advancing,
and hay-nakers have had better time than
once expected, although the color of some
stacks has suffered. We cannot learn as vet
that the late trosts have damaged the wheat.
which everywhere continues to look well, and
If we have bat favorable harvest time q
good yield, of fair quality, may be expected.
Spring corn, too, has much improved, but we
fear cannot reach an average, although the
quality may be good; while the rain came too
late TO make large yield OF mangolds Or tur-
nips, although we may have good bite OF
grass. Ii our wheat markets during the week
have shown little change, it is simply from the
low state to which stocks have been reduced
which is still more strikingly shown in the last
weekly sales, where the deficiency, as COM
pared with last year, is no less than Is, l67
qrs., while the stock in London in granary is
not more than q fortuIght's consumption for
the city alone. France, Belgium and Hol-
and also continue at the lowest ebb, but the
late favorable weather has so changed pros
poets throughout Europe that France and our
neighbors have begun to give way, while in
Hungary the decline hasGeached to As Cd on
wheat, and 3s Cd on rye. Paris, as we antic-
ipated, has given up the 2 francs advance OH
flour, and is Is to Is Ga cheaper for wheat,
and at Hambro' American receipts have at
last made holders of wheat more tractable; as
New York, always the most sensitive to Brit
ish advices, shows further decline in red
spring, till rates have descended to Id Ale per
bushel or 42S, 4S0 pounds. Odessa, too,
which has long held out from small supplies
and the idea of large necessities in Western
Europe has become prepared for lower
range. Thus all these indications point TO
the probability that the general contributions
of the world will keep our mills going till har-
vest, although our stack yards, barns and
granaries be swept clean.-Mark Lane Ex-

Gossip and Gleanings.

Why is nature like baby? Because there
is generally squall when its face is washed.
A housemaid in Chicago had her hair
turned white in single night, last week.
Cause-Sae fell, head foremost, into a flour
barrel.
What sublime courage was that displayed
by the Nevada woman, who, when the
stealthy savage approached her, just rallied
off her hair and gave it to her!
'Don't speak to herp' said one young lady
to another young lady, on the street the 9th
er night; 'she is the stuckupedest thing you
ever saw"
To cure dyspepsia: Close all the outer
doors of four-story house, open the inner
doors, then take long switch and chase a
cat up and down stairs till she sweats.

:. correspondent OF the Hartford Times
who has been visiting Westminster Abbey
and looking at the monuments, says: 1t is al

but after you are dead it is much better tc

What can be more startling than to see a
delicate and fascinating young lady with a
long train suddenly turn around, without
giving the unsuspecting individual behind
her any warning whatever, gently stoop,
reach back with her right foot, and kick
desperately? She is going to cross the street,
and is merely switching off her train for the
new direction.

POr k-Raising.

A correspondent of the Germantown TEL
egrdph writes: my own theory of pork
raising, based upon experience, observation,
aud probably little philosophy of things. II
written for the benefit of others, would be
about as follows: During the hot summer
months would feed very little solid feed,
ouch as corn in the ear or uncracked. L
woun h~@p hogs upon green feed constantly,
either grass, oats, rye, and feed them at
regular intervals, once OF swice a day, upon
mashed feed, either shorts, chopped oats, or
rye. buckwheat. etc., fed in troushs. When
led in this way, and allowed access to water
and shade, hogs will bear crowding through
the bot months-a very good time, it not the
best to take on flesh. This puts them in the
best of condition for corn feeding, which
should commence about the first of Septem-
ber when the new crop is still soft aud ten
der. Treated in this way hogs become prob
ably as perfect as method could make them.
Upon the whole, believe it the cheapest
and most economical.
