FARM AND GARDEN.
FARMING CONDUCIVE TO LONGEvI.


Eight miles from the city of Albany,
the capital of the State Of New York,
lives farmer by the name of Sloan,
who has paid laboring man by the
name of James Cameron, in his ninety.
fourth year, two dollars day for his
services in grading, moving, ETC., in
the past harvest, and working of crops.
Judging from the name, Mr.. Cameron
is Scotchman; and his physical abili-
ty to string the cradle at so advanced
an age, speaks volumes in favor of the
healthfulness of uniform outdoor
work on the farm. 1t rejuvinates all
the orgaps and functions of life.

FRTIT BUTTER.

Since enterprlslng fruit growers are
planting orchards of apple, pear, peach
and ounce trees by the twenty acres,
and by the hundred acres, and giving
them the best possible attention,
1t need surprise no one to learn that a
steam-canning establishment in New
York, using cans that hold from one to
three hundred pounds each, is now put
ting up eighteen thousand pounds OF
'fruit butter" a day. 1t is manufae-
tured from dried apples, peaches, pears
and ounces, when the latter can be
had as well as from undried fruit
That very enterprising journal, the
American Grocer, has a column article
on the subject.
After dried fruit is picked over, care
fully washed and assorted, it is soaked
and put into large copper kettle,
which holds fifteen hundred pounds.
This is surrounded by a steam jacket,
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
a row Of pestles, by which process the
sieve keeps back cores and Jumps, while
the "butter" is brought to a uniform
condition by the pestles. If designed
for immediate use, it is put up in pals,
or buckets, as generally called in this
country, holding from five to thirty
five pounds.
Some housekeepers buy this article
by the barrel in place of apple butter
and apple-sauce, used by generations
now rapidly passing away. 1t obvi-
ously opens a new and almost bound
less market for any fruit that may be
cooked, canned and eaten. A retail
dealer may buy fruit butter in 800
pound cans, and deliver it in tight YES
sells. to be returned, in such quantities
as his customers may desire. Most
readers know that many tons of dried
fruit come to this city, and the trade
is susceptible Of indefinite extension.
Who will give our citizens the cream
and the "butter" Of peaches, pears, ap-
pies and ounces of home manufacture
and growth?

COWS HOLDING Up THEIR MILK

IS74-Is there ouch thing as a COW
holding up her milk when she has no
calf to suck; or is it the fault of the
mixer? If the former, what is the
best method, if there is any, of getting
1t?
Please give us long article on al
falfa: the kind of land it succeeds best
OH. whether on dry light uplan or wet
bottom, and how on land recently de-
nuded of the forest.
Allow me to express my unfeigned
admiration of the untiring energy with
which you have kept this and other
valuable grasses before your readers.
Very respectfully,

Cows often acquire the habit of hold

little wild, whether they suckle calves
or not. 1t is done by the action of
muscles subject to the will as much

The following singular letter, siSaad "a Ro =
tired Murderer" WAS forwarded to the editor II
the Pau HAL Gazette: "You were good enough
on former occasion to permit me through your
columns to protest against d practice indulged
in by young and inexperienced murderors OF
hacking and muti1ating the remains OF their
victims, and thus naturally exciting in the
breasts Of the public q disgust not generally
awakened by a simple assassination artisticall7
effected without undup violence, and with a
proper regard for the feelings OF survivors. I
venture, therefore, on behalf OF d growing and
important class-the murdere1s Of London, in
vhoso reputation shall ever feel the deepest

need only point TO the neat and peaceful manner
in which babies are now dispatched, and their

SATURDAY EVENING, Feb. %.
Tho staGnation in financial Affairs and in many
branches Of trade becomes more apparent from
week to week. This may bo accounted for to
some extent by the fact that this is one Of the
dull periods OF the year. The latter part Of Feb
ruary ia always sort Of hiatus between the
winter and spring trade. There is usualy de-
crease in tho marketing Of crops and in the
sale Of goods at this time. But, aside from
these usual features, there is at present
notable lack Of confidence On tho part Of
capitalists in any long Investment. Money
is superabundant for short Investments, but it
is all hand-to~mouth sort Of business. Every
body seems to be waiting. and the general re-
mark OF capitalists is that they would prefer to
know what Congress is going to do about the
currency before they make long engagements Of
any kind. This hesitaucy may have, IN fact, but
little ground in reason. Congress is at least
pretty sure not to authorize any contraction Of
tho currency, and the prospects OF imitation by
the isauo OF moro greenbacKs ara becoming less
every dny.
It has, however, become the fashion to fe
doubtful, and one doubts because another does,
and the currency discussions in Congress are
thus exercising depressing effect on business.
Money is freely offered in the open market at
10 per cent, with some loans at 9.
New York Exchange is offered freely at 800
Per 81 900 discount.
