The Southern Illinois Fruit Prospects

1t has been generally stated and firmly
believed by the majority of fruit growers
in this section of the State, says the Du-
Quoin Qll) Tribune, of April %, that
peaches, cherries, pears and most of the
smaller fruits had been nearly or quite
all killed By the severity of the past
winter weather. but we are quite happy
to state that such does not prove to be
the case.
The warm weather of the past week or
two has swollen the buds sufficiently to
enable our fruit men 10 determine TO a
certainty the real condition of the fruit,
and we are told by responsible men that
there will be good half crop of peaches,
fair crop of cherries and an average
crop of pears, and we believe that it is
generally conceded that the apples are
uninjured.
The first of this week we were shown a
peach tree branch, about too feet in
length, that contained ten or twelve
large healthy buds, which would have
bloOmod in another weeks time, had
they been left on the tree; and we are
informed that in the orchard from which
this branch was taken there will be as
many peaches as the trees ought to bear
to make nice fruit. Of course all the
orchards in this locality, in all prob
ability will not yield as we'll as the one
mentioned, but certain it is that unless
we get more cold weather and frosts we
will have very fair crop of fruit, which
to the grower is worth quite as much. il
not more, than full crop.
Let us rejoice that we are thus favored,
and hope for continued warm weather
from this time forward.

WHAT is the use of the United States
consular service if foreigners are to be
permitted to misrepresent our great men
in the following wild wayY 1t is the
Journal, of Marseilles, France, which
does it: Considerable difficulties have
arisen between the American ministers
of the Gospel in New York, namely /:
Beecher, Stilton and Motion, because
love letters have been found in the hands
of Rev. Motion, which Stilton addressed
to Mrs. Beecher Stowe. Stilton, on the
other side, sues Rev. Beecher, and de-
mands $4,000 damages for having
seduced his youngest daughter, Mad
emoiselle Florence Stilton. Mrs. Beecher
Stowe is the mother of the celebrated
Uncle Tom, the we'll known blind pianist,
who created also in France such Juror
some years ago.

A UNIQUE Relic.

The Philadelphia Telegraph says: The
following is the text of the official dis
patch copied verbatim ct Hteratun,, ct
punctuatin,, which left Watertown on the
10Th of April, 1875, and contained the
news of the battle of Lexington. The
dispatch, as it passed the various towns
by the rider who rode post through the
country, was copied, certified by the
civil officials and sent still further on its
way. The original is in the possession of
the Historical Society of this city, and
is the copy which left Trenton, which
city is reached on the morning of the
oath April, having taken five days to
come to Philadelphia. This interesting
document was sold at auction in New
York in the early part of 1873, and was
the first purchase on the part of the per-
manent library fund commenced by Mr..
George Washington Smith.
This paper is in first class condition,
and has hitherto been hanging in con-
spicuOus place in the library hall, but by
reason of its great value and rarity the
authorities intend for the future keeping
it in their fire-proof department.

The fne-wool sheep, formerly the pride
of Vermont farmers, as we'll as source
of wealth, have almost disappeared from
the State, those who still continue sheep
raising having now three or four "clips"
on hand, with little prospects of selling
at a good price. The dairy business is
now one of the best paying in the State,
and the demand for Vermont cheese is
constantly increasing.

How To USE A GRINDsToNE.-Com
mon grindstone spindles, with crank at
one end, are open to the great objection
that the stone will never keep round, be-
cause every person is inclined more or
less to follow the motion of his foot with
his hand, which causes the pressure on
the stone to be unequal. The harder
pressure is always applied to the very
same part of the stone, and will soon
make it uneven, Sc that it is impossible
to grind tool true. To avoid this, put
in place of this crank small cog-wheel
on the spindle, say with twelve cogs;
have another short spindle, with crank
and cog-wheel of thirteen cOgs, to work
in the former. The stone will make
about OF of a revolution more than the
crank, and the harder pressure OF the
tool on the stone will change to another
place at every turn, and the stone will
keep perfectly round if it is good one
This is very simple, but it will be new to
many

Useful Information.


To MAKE GINGER LOAF.-To four
pounds of dough add one pound of raw
sugar, half a pound of butter, one ounce
and half OF caraway seeds, one ounce
and half of ground ginger. Bake in
the usual way. 1t very much resembles
Scotch hot cross buns. 1t makes very
nice cake, either for tea or lunch.
APPLES IN IMITATION OF GINGER
To three pounds of very hard apples, take
two pounds of loaf sugar, and quarter
of pound of best white ginger. Put
these in layers (having first sliced the APP
pies in eight pieces and cored them)
alternately in a wide-mouthed jar. Next
day infuse an ounce of white ginger, we'll
bruised, in about pint of boiling water
let it stand till the next day. Then put
in the apples that have been two days in
the ginger. Simmer slowly until the
apples look clear. Take great care not to
break the pieces.
STEW PANs.-A great mistake is made
in American kitchens in not using the
tin-lined copper stew-pan instead Of the
porcelain-lined, which burns far more
readily and is not at all durable. No
danger may be apprehended from the
copper, as the tin can always be replaced
at slight expense.
