Farmers are very busy blowing over
corn. While some are over the first
time others are just beginning. Corn
is generally looking well. Wheat and
rye are heading out and generally look
well. Oats are also looking well. The
apple crop will be almost failure in
this part of the county. There will
be but few winter apples in the valley,
will probably be some on the nouns

Sorry to say that Jesse Safely has

Christian says he would be glad for

Preserving Fruit.

Below is simple way Of preserving
fruit and said to be very efectual:
Procure box with a top that can
be closed tightly. If you desire to
preserve fruit, peaches for instance, }
put your whole peaches Gust as they
are from the tree at one end of the
box and put a jar Of water in the box
at the other end. Now set fire to some
sulphur, by laying little on an oyster
shell, or chips. When the fumes be-
gin to rise shut up the box, let it so
remain for twenty minutes, and then
put the peaches in the water in the jar,
lay peice of paper over the top of the
jar to keep out dust, and put the jar
away. No sealing up thejar is necess'
airy. The sulphur may be burned
twice if preferred. All kinds of fruit
are placed in water, but with meat,
fruits, and such, put them in the box
without water, burn the sulphur, lei
it remain half an hour, then take the
meat or fish out, hang up and keep till
required. They will keep a year, il
all kinds of weather. They may dry
in the course of time, but will moi
spoil. There is no method more harm
less and eficacious.

Dishes for Childron,

A little set of dishes is necessity for
children; 1t is sort of human,zer for
boys as we'll as girls. Don't laugh ct
your boy for liking to play with them ;
there is nothing about the hearty, hap
py play which will make the boy an un-
manly man. 1t is often and wisely ad-
vocated that the girl shall be allowed
more of the boys freedom from restraint
that she shall have an active interest In
the outdoor sports and games Of her
brother, or Of other girls brothers II
she has none Of hsr own; and while this
is as it should be, let us advocate also
giving the boy q share in the gentler
pastiines Of the girls. It often appears
that if sons were encouraged to take the
same interest in the home that daugh-
ters are, the best results would follow. II
the boys wese taught to contribute some
thing toward its decoration and adorn-
men, in the same way that girls are. the
sweet ties that bind them to their homo
would be strengthened. Children are .
great care. The woman who has chill.
dren and yet who hopes and expects to
lead the same kind OF life that one may
who Is childless. will find to her lasting
sorrow sometime that she has left un.
done many things which she ought to
have done.
