ed for as excellent. 10 those who have been
accustomed to the od-fashioned method OF
boiling sugar and fruit juice together for 20
minutes, in making jelly, the method given
below will seem little odd but, il directions
are carefully followed, the result will be such
that no one will care to return to the old way
Cu,Tdnt Jeliy.-The currants should be
thoroughly ripe, but on no account dead
ripe" Look them over carefully, but do not
remove from the stems crush well and strain
over night, letting the juice drop into an
earthen dish. Do not press or squeeze them,
but use only the juice that will drip through
the cloth without pressure. In the morning
measure the juice, and allow pint OF granu'
lated sugar to q pint Of juice Put the sugar
into a deep earthen dish aud set it in an oven
where it will heat, but not scorch put the
juice into q porcelain kettle over the FIRE
and let it boil Just five minutes, skimming
we'll. At the end OF that time take il from
the fire and pour it over the sugar, stirring
it constantly until the sugar il dissolved !;
pour at once into Sly glasses and set away
to harden. Having made the Jelly you may
squeeze the rest of the juice and as much OF
the pulp AZ you eau through the strainer and
make nice marmalade, using pint for pint
of sugar aud fruit, boiling 20 minutes, and
then pouring into glasses.
Pineapple PreSerUe. Let the pineapples be
thoroughly ripe, pare them, and cut into thin
circular slices. Weigh them, and to a pound
Of fruit allow pound of best graduated gu
gar. Place layer Of the pineapple slices in
the bottom of large, deep earthen dish, and
sprinkle it thoroughly with layer OF sugar
then put in another layer of pineapple and
sugar 1t we'll and 80 on until the dish is full,
finishing with layer of sugar on top. Cover
the dish and let it stand all night Next day
remove the slices to a tureen pour the juice
into porcelain kettle, and boil and skim it al
least half an hour. Do not remove from the
fire until the scum has entirely ceased to rise
then pour over the slices in the tureen, and

Decadence Of Humble Nee.

An exchange says that the persistent fight
made by boys and men against the humble
bee is greatly reducing their numbers, and
not altogether to the farmers advantage.
Unpleasant customer as the humble bee is
to deal with, he serves purpose in the econ
omy of nature that cannot be dispensed with.
Red clover seeds less perfectly than it did
when fertiiized by the visits of the humble
bee in search of honey. In Australia, when
red clover was introduced, 1t would not seed,
and this was remedied by introducing the
humble bee to fertilize it," We have seldom
seen men or boys wilfully kill humble bees,
and we should look for some other cause for
their diminished numbers. Many years ago
there we're ten times as many of these insects
AZ there have been for at least 10 years before
this year. This season, in our locality, they
are again very plenty. When the honey To-
Gust was in blossom this spring, the noise of
the humble bees working the flowers of this
tree might have been mistaken for the swarm
ing of honey bees.

The white daisy is generally regarded as an
unmitigated evil 10 our meadows, yet our
Vermont botanist and farmer, O. G. Pringle,
says, ii is reported, "these daisies are not half
appreciated. They never fail us in dry sea-
son, and they will grow and thrive on soil
where other forage plants could scarcely
maintain even a sickly existence. Gut early
and cured quickly, they are sweet and nutri-
tious for cattle and horses, and stock will eat
them with relish. They deserve to be more
kindly viewed and treated" Mr. Pringle is
good authority, botanist who loves to see a
variety of towering plants, yet after all he
says he would prefer not to have his meadow
seeded to daisies

The buffalo, or more properly the bison,
has been nearly exterminated, and the old
fashioned buffalo sleigh robe will soon be
thing Of the past No substitute for the buff
falo robe has yet been found which equals it
in warmth and durability. We occasionally
see cattle with coats of fine, soft hair, whose
skins, if tanned like the buffalo robe, might
make tolerable substitute for it, and il has
occurred TO us that 1t might be possible to
breed race of cattle which, while not being
inferior for beef, would be valuable for their
hides, used for the same purpose as the buff
falo robe 1t ems that the idea has occurred
to others, for a writer in the Rural New
Yorker says:
1.-The Galloway breed OF cattle are noted
for their lack of horns their round, compact
bodies, their short legs and, above all, for
their thick, heavy, black, shiny and often curly
coats of hair, which gives the calves the ap.
pearance of Newfoundland dogs of solid col.
or. For these hardy features their friends
say of them, that while the Short horns and
White.faces, whenever they are sent west,
tend afterward to move south, the Galloways
take contrary direction, and having their
overcoats with them, they advance in face Of
rigorous winter weather, and find in the eli
mates of Idaho and Montana just the brscing
air that suits them. In addition to this, if
late accounts are TO be trusted, the Galloways
are likely shortly to appear before the world
in form that will create a surprise and ex-
cite a sensation for it is said that very sue
cessful cross has been made with the buffalo,
producing a mets, a crosse bred animal that
yields a robe superior in every respect to the
buffalo skin. Those who have seen the Gal.
loways in their best estate, and particularly
those who have observed how much the coats
of the calves Of three or four months old re-
semble that of large, well-bred Newfound.
land dog, will be ready to accept as truth al
most anything that can be claimed for the
size, beauty and firmness of the robe of the
progeny of the wild buffalo and the tame Gal
lOway."
We are inclined to believe that some oil
this, especially the crossing part leans little
toward romance, but it appears quite. possible
to establish breed that will be valuable fol
their coats.
