Home Evaporated Fruits.

A lady writer iuon exchange says
Sin the fall of 1880 visited n large
fruit evaporalor near us and saw the
Lowell y cream white rings as they came
from the wire cloth frame packed in
huge boxes ready to ship. They
Iooked good enough for Victora's table

the cream color was the effect of bleach
ing in the fumes of sul phur, procured
a machine that pared, cored, and sliced
the apple into spiral ring at one ops
poralion, and then set the has.
ket filled with the rings in an ordinary
packing box over the fumes of sulphur
to bleach. The sulphur was thrown
on few live Goals in an ash pan, one
teaspoonful at time, and the box was
closed about fifteen minutes. This
heached several baskets Of rings almost
as white as n sheet of paper. The APP
pies were then spread and dried in the
ordinary way, and they retained their
beautiful creamy color when dry,
They were then packed in paper bay,
and then put away. When cooked in
The spring they were entirely free from
amy smell or taste Of sulphur, and as
fresh and PUPPY as green apples. N,
one that has ever tried them recognized
them as dried apples. Two or three
small sacks were left over until the
next year, without any further care
On opening them in the spring of 1882
they were as fresh apparently as whel
first put up. The worms had not mo-
Tested them. Housekeepers will ap

year from these pests. Those living

their fruit much improved and made
absolutely worm proof by a few
minutes bleaching over sulphur fumes.

GLOW much do you suppose the new

asked the other day by Assistant Post,
master General Hazen, writes a Wash
ington correspondent. "You don't
know, but I'll tell you-- Just 8 1.5cents

more than that. The plates, paper,
printing, perforating and putting the
mucilage on is worth something then
they must be packed and put up in
high priced envelopes. Half the post.
offices do not call for more than one
hundred stamps at time, but, they
have to 60 through the same routine as
in filing an order for millions for New

countries on this continent south Of us,
have their postage stamps made in this
country. They prefer the concern
which supplies our government. This
is the American Bank Note Company

from FIVE to ten times the price we pay
and find no fault. There's where the
pro6tcomes in from making our stamps.
1t is the only way to secure these other

on the subject, | will try to explain to

money and without credit. | was one
of the first to build my barn on a gen.
tie slope; the basement is eight feet
high and contains stable room for
horses and cattle, and in the centre a
threshing floor; the upper story fur
nishes room for hay and fodder, and is
so arranged that team can drive in
from the hillside and unload. The
stables are hoored with chestnut plank,
and small trench is made just at the
ends of the stalls-on all sides-that
drain into cistern just outside the
barn, and on the lower side. In this |
catch all the liquid manure from my
stock; cutters lead from the roof into
the cistern, and / also catch all the
rain water / want to adulterate the
liquid manure; this cistern holds about
forty barrels, and as l need the manure,
or as it accumulates, | pump it out,
having pump arranged for this pur-
pose on the ordinary plan, into water

something on the same principal as

The cistern about eight by twelve

placed about two inches apart, and the
solid manure is placed upon them.

An experienced nurseryman offers
the following excellent suggestions on
the selection of fruit trees: In select
ing nursery trees farmers should look to
the thriftiness Of the trees, to their age
and to their shape. Those whose trunks
and branches are not smooth and clean
should be discarded. Select straight
trees which have not bad crotches, or
a crook at the root. Do not select
trees too old. A three.year-old tree is
much more preferable to one four or
FIVE years old. 1t is more apt to.live,
and its growth is not SO much inter-
fered with by resetting. A well.grown
twO-year-Old is usually preferable.
See that the trees are stocky. II
grown too thickly in the nursery rows
the trees are apt to be spindling and
tender, .,.... ,.-..

THE CENTURY PLANT.
Some Mistaken ideas About It--When
1t Blooms.

1t Blooms.
Said a well known florist to a reporter
of the Cleveland Herald, in response to
the query whether he ever saw a cen
fury plant in bloom: comfy once, and
that was a great many years ago in o
conservatory IN London, when a plant
generally supposed to have attained the
eye Of 100 years, began to show signs CT
life by sending out a stem in the centre,
which grew from seven to eight inches
daily. 1t at once began to attract general
attention. The stem grew larger every
Gay. The plant was moved from place
to place, for the glass room was not higA
enough, until, as a last resort, it was
placed under the cupola. Before many
days the stem reeched the cupola roof
and in order that its progress might not
he retarded, the glass was removed and
the roof raised. When the stem had al
tanned a height of about As feet, if I re
member rightly, it stopped growing, and
numerous small branches grew out Of
the main stem, each Ofwhich was topped
with a cluster of magnificent greenish-
yellow flowers, forming a solid bush Of
beautiful flowers of about 10 feet in
height. 1t seemed to me all London
fiocked to see that flower, and it was the
topic of conversation everywhere"
'Is it a feet that they bloom only every
100 years"
That's a mistaken idea, which has
long ago been exploded. The American
aloe, or century plant, as it is commonly
known, will sometimes bloom when but
25 years old. 1t altogether depends upon
the climate and upon the care. At times
it will not bloom unless it has attained
the age of 100 years, but there are not
many alOes in northern climates which
attain such an age"
care they popular house plant in this
region"
Eyes, they are growing in popularity
every year, but, as a rule, people do not
know how to treat them, and the conse-

What do you consider proper mode
of treatment of that plant?'
'In the first place they must be placed
in a wooden pot, pail or key earthware
pots are liable to be injurious. Before
planting them it is essential that the
drainage should he perfect-say three
large round holes in the bottom-and be
fore placing the earth in the vessel a
quantity of broken crockery or pebbles
at the bottom will improve its drainage.
1t also requires constant watering and a
great deal of care and attention"
''Will a century plant bloom more than
once?"
mo, sir; after the disappearance of
the flowers the plant withers and dies,
and no care in the world will save it."

ployed to make collections for the Rail

service he brings in on the average over
$40 week This amounts to enough,
i'll the course of year, to support six or
