MedicInaI QuaIl.Ie. oTFru,..

OF all the fruits with which we are blessed,
the peach is the most delicious and digesti
BILE. There is nothing more palatable,
wholesome and medicinal than good ripe
peaches. 1t is a mistaken idea that no fruit
should be eaten at breakfast. 1t would be
better If our people would eat less bacon
and grease at breakfast, and more fruit
In the morning there is an acrid state of the
secretions, and nothing is so well calculated
to correct this as the cooling sub-scid fruits,
such rs peaches apples, etc. The apple is
one Of the best of fruits Baked or stewed
apples will generally agree with the most
delicate stomach, and are an excellent medi-
cine in many cases. Green or half-ripe
apples stewed and sweetened are pleasant TO
the taste, cooling, nourishing, laxative, far
superior in many cases to the abominable
doses of salts and oil usually given in fever
and other diseases. Raw apples and dried
apples stewed are better for constipation
than some pills. Oranges are very accepta

the best drink in fevers and when thicken-
ed with sugar is better than syrup of squills
and other nRuseates in many cases of cough.
Tomatoes act on the liver and bowels and
are much more pleasant and safe than blue
mass. The juice should be used alone, re-
jecting the skins. The small seeded fruits
such as blackberries, figs, raspberries, cur
rants and strawberries may be classed among
the best foods and medicines. The sugar
in them is nutritious, the acid is cooling and
purifying and the seeds are laxative. We
would be much the gamers if we would look
more to our orchards and gardens for our
medicines and less to drug stores To cure
fever or to act on the kidneys, no febrifuge
nor diuretio is superior to wAtermelons,
which may, with very few exceptions, be

limited quantities, with positive benefit =

With an old pair of sheep shears clip off
the ends Of the melon, cucumber, squash and
other vines. In this way the vines are pre-
vented from exhAusting themselves in max

more prolihcally, and the fruit to be much
finer.
The latest charge against incubator Matched
chickens comes from the cooks of the Sarato-

stringy. The incubator brOods are fed upon
corn meal and boiled potatoes instead of their
natural diet of grubs and worms, and are
kept in contracted ana dirty quarters, which
Is held TO account for the inferior flavor
Accordingly hen-rRised chickens command a

The Annie CrOp.

The apple crop in portions of the valley OF
the West river is enormous II is also very
large in few places in other parts of the
county, but for inc rest it is probably below
an average. In the first locality the apple
trees are loaded beyond all precedent The
branches rest on the ground, or are broken
off II not supported by props. The quality
of the fruit, contrary to what we might sup
pose when the draft on the tree is so great,
has never been better in the last twenty years.
II is remarkably fair and free from worms.
Owners of orchards in the favored localities
need not consider the fruit valueless because
of its abundance there, for the crop is not
generally large. This is the on-bearing
year except in few places where it has been
changed by the late spring frost last year
The New England Homestead claims to have
replies from over one thousand correspond
ents in answer to a circular sent out through
the New England states, New York, New
Jersey and the Provinces, making inquiries
about the fruit crop. From these answers il
estimates the crop of apples in the New Eng.
land states at as per cent. of that of an aver
age bearing year. or more than an average Of
a non-beRring year. The per cent. of a full
crop in Windham county is placed at 81 for
fall appleS-higher than any other county in
this state-and 6s for winter apples. In Ben
nington county only 20 per cent. of fun
crop of winter apples is Teported; in Rutland
only 80 in Grand Isle and Addison 80. The
The average for the state is 81 per cent. for
fall apples and SO for winter varieties New
York averages about 80 per cent, and New
Jersey 40, Delaware 20, and the Province of
Quebec and Nova Scotia 40. The price Of
winter apples in the markets of New Eng
land and New York state is predicted at 81 80
to 81 80 per barrel. A cablegram from Lv-
erpool to the Homestead states that there is a
prospect of good demand for American ap-
pies in England, in consequence of the pro-
hibition Of the importation of fruit from dis
tricts where the cholera prevails.

Several correspondents from the northern
part Of the state speak OF the season as I'M
usually wet. Some are complaining of too
much rain. An Addison county writer under
date Of Aug. 10, says "A large amount Of
rain has fallen this week. But little wheat or
oats has been secured. II next week should
be a. wet as this, a large proportion Of these
crops will be ruined and lost. One can hard
ly drive a team on low land. Pastures are
too wet and feed too rank for stock, especial
ly sheep, to do well. 1t is doubtful il this
will be as profitable year for farmers az the
dryer ones have been" This is the same
county, and the writer is from the same town,
that has been specially referred to as an illus
tration Of the effect Of the removal of the
forest on the amount of rainfall We do not
presume from the fact that this has been a
wet season in Addison county that 1t was
caused by clearing the land of the forest, but
there is about as much reason for assuming
this TO be the cause as, in the other case for
taking 1t to be the cause Of diminished rain.

10 the month Of August the farmers are
annually advised by the agricultural papers
TO dig and store potatoes early, and that the
earlier this is done after they are fully ripe
the better. It is certainly better for one
reason that is late in the season the field is
likely TO be overun with weeds which make
the digging more difficult besides filling the
ground with their seeds, but that the quality
OF the potatoes will be better, as claimed,
admits OF question. We have never seen
potatoes better preserved than some that
we're missed in digging, and happening to
escape the frost, we're plouehed up the next

If you have close stoves, which are not so

and provision for fresh air supply"
An efficient air shaft may be fitted to the
commonest OF close stoves by simply enclos-
ing the smoke pipe in a jacket-that is, in
pipe OF two or three inches greater diameter
This should be braoed around the smoke
pipe, and perforated by it, leaving about an
inch opening all around, and carried down to
within six inches of the floor or resting upon
the floor by four deep notches At its en-
trance into the chimney a perforated COLLAR
should separate it from the smoke pipe.
For stove with q short horizontal smoke
pipe passing through fire board, the latter
should always ba raised three inches from the
hearth. A smoke pipe thus jacketed, or
fire board 80 raised affords an efficient air
shaft for the escape Of foul air
To let fresh air into the room the lower
sash may be raised about three inches, and
board or canvass covered frame fitted close.
ly under the sash, so that fresh air, without
draught upon the inmates, may be constantly
admitted between the upper and lower sash.
There are many more elaborate arrange
ments than these, but not many more ef-
tcient Withal, windows and doors should
be frequently thrown open at all seasons
from time TO time, to let abundant draughts
OF air circulate through the rooms while the
ordinary occupants are temporarily absent.
