Pluns for Drying.

Mr.. 7. McF. Patton shows u some
fine specimens ofthc golden egg plums
that came with 4 LOT sold TO the Aldcn
Company, by q. w. WaIlng x Co, of
Oswcgo. They Were very lace and
firm iicshcd' and so admirably suited to
drv. In thi, connection we may as well
speak of the varieties of pluln, best suit
cI FIX cultivation as adapted for driving.
Some kind weld more product and
make 4 better looking fruit when dried,
than others, and when they possess
equal flavor they. of course. are much
more valuable. Size is quite an object,
I, large plumS are Ssrcr and easier
stoned and retain the Juices more than
smaller varieties. MANY persons
bring plum, to the i,,ctory that arc full
j. ripe, and 50 cannot be used. as instead
Of driving they melt and run off, leaving
little product, and SO would be worse
Than ~arthlcss to the company. Plums
ior Il wing in either the \ldcn or Plum
mcr machine, should be picked as soon
4, size j. attained and the ripcning pro-
c,ss sufficiently developed to insure a
cool prol,lct, otherwise the fruit can
not be well handled or the dried prod
uct be left in good shape. Mr.. Patton
complains bitterly that certain parties
lave sen, lot, OF fruit, amounting in all
t. several hundred bushels, that were
not equal TO the samples, and proved
worthless to him Larger and better
plums were put on top than were found
below in the boxes, and the fruit too
ripe to he of any use at all. such trans
actions will of course be to the ultimate
disadvantage of those who practice
them. Il We are to command rcpu-
tatiou abroad for producing excellent
dflcl fruit it must be BY raising the best
frat for the purpose, and b. handling
the same at proper season and in the
best manner to insure the best results.
All the fruit furnished 10y MIR. WalIng

iinc>t and largest varieties. As consc-

y marvellous piece of mechanism, III
the way of clocks, is described in the
French Journals. 1t is an eight day in
Strumcnt, with dead beat cscapcmcnt
maintaining power. 1t chimes the quar-
tcrs plays sixteen tunes every twelve
hours, or will at any time revuircd.
The hands go around as follows: One,
once Il minute; one, once month; one,
once year. 1t shows the moons age
the rising and setting of the sun; the
time of high and low water, half cbb,
and half flood, and, by Il beautiful CON
tnvancc, there Is Il part which repre-
scnts the water which rises and falls,
lifting some ships at high water, as if
they were III motion, and, as ii rcccdcs,
leaves the little automatic ships dry ON
the sands. The clock shows the hour
OF the day, day of the week, day OF the
month, month Of the year, and in the
day OF tn month there is provision
made for the long and short months 1t
shows the signs of the zo,Iiac; it strikes
or not, chimes or aot, rs may lee desired !;
and it has the equation table, showing
the difference of clock and sun every

Blessed is the writer who can boil it
down. The man who knows SO well
what he wants to say that he can come
to it in few short, picturesque scntcn-
ccs is the readable and quotablc journal
ist these days. People cannot wait, with
the patience they used to have, to get
at the pith of things. The railroad las
educated them out of patience with
slowncss. The telegraph has complct
ed that education, and at the same time
incapaciatcd them for the endurance of
words. When we have to pay a fixed
prcc-so many ccnts--for every word
we employ to express our meaning, we
arc apt to husk the sentence down to
the kernel, and to value the art of rx-
