variety, few kinds excelling it in the quantity
produced, and it is especially noted for the great
uniformity in the size of its fruit, the last pick
ngs being scarcely inferior to the first In respect
to size and appearance.
The editor of Purdys Fruit Recorder, who APP
pears to possess a special faculty for picking out
the "wheat from the chaff" among the per-
pexities of fruit lists has the following remarks
in reference to this strawberry:
"Were we called upon to name the strawberry
that could come the nearest to our ideal OF a
perfect berry, in shape, color size, and flavor, 1t
would be this sort. 1t is what might be called
oblongish-conical in shape averaging Il to II
inches long and / to Il inches through; color,
rich glossy scarlet; flavor, spicy, sweet, and de-
Iicious, and very juicy. No small berries, averag-
ing good size right through, and yields very
large crop. Easily picked and hulled. For table
use or eating out of hand it has no superior on
our grounds"
COMMON NAMES OF PLANTs.-The use of
what are known as common names to plants is
frequent source of annoyance. A correspondent
asks if it is a fact that by wrapping piece of
tough mutton or beef in the leaves of the papaw
tree that it will become succulent and tender in
the course of a few hours. Having seen this
statement. the trial was made with freshly
gathered leaves, but without any effect whatever
The leaves used were those of the Asimnd
triloba, or common papaw, which is common on
the banks of streams, and on low rich soils
throughout the Middle and Western States
This property of disintegrating animal fbres
is attributed to the Carica Papaya, tropical
plant, also known as the papaw tree This tree
is native of South America, but widely dis
persed in the West and East Indies and Southern
Florida 1t is said that the juice of this tree
causes separation of the muscular fbres. By
some it is maintained that this effect is secured
by merely suspending meat beneath the foliage
of the tree during the night; others place greater
reliance in wrapping the meat in the leaves for
a few hours with a portion of the fruit of the
plant.
When the juice of this papaw is treated with
water the greater part dissolves; but there re-
mains substance insoluble, which has greasy
appearance; it softens in the air and becomes
viscid, brown, and semi transparent When
thrown on burning Goals it melts, and drops of
grease exude, which emit the noise of meat
roasting, and produces smoke which has the
odor of fat volatilized, and leaves behind no
residue The substance is fibrine which israrely
found in vegetables.

PURIFICATIoN OF MILK.-Milk, when drawn
from the COW, often contains taints and odors
introduced by the cow from an impure atmos-
phere she has been compelled to breathe, from
impure or filthy water she has drunk, and from
improper food she has eaten. These taints and
odors may be called natural taints and odors
the three last may always be avoided by proper
care in furnishing the cow pure air to breathe
pure water to drink, and suitable food to eat !;
but the first (the animal odor) is always present
whenever the milk is drawn from the COW. but
always varied in intensity or degree Of offensive
ness by the condition of the atmosphere, the
temperature of the atmosphere, the condition Of
the cow in regard to sickness or health, the food

she eats, the water she drinks, the air she
breathes, and last, but not least, by the treat
ment she receives. Nearly, if not all, these
natural taints and odors may be expelled from
the milk by heating it to 1400 as soon as it is
drawn from the cow and then aerating it while
warm.
