cRYsTALLlzATIoN OF FRUITS.
The Method as Explained to CalifOrnia's
Beard of Horticulture.

The Method as Explained to CALIFORNIA;
Beard of Horticulture.
The process of preserving fruits in a
crystallized or glazed form is attracting
considerable attention at the present time.
This process, though comparatively new
in California, has been extensively ope-
rated in Southwestern France for years,
the United States having been heavy i'm
porters, paying fancy prices for the pro-
duct. The process is quite simple. The
theory is to extract the juice from the
fruit and replace 1t with sugar syrup,
which, upon hardening, preserves the
fruit from decay and at the same time
retains the natural shape Of the fruit.
ALI kinds of fruit are capable of being
preserved under this process. Though
the method is very simple, there is a GER
tain skill required that is only acquired
by practice. The several successive steps
in the process are about as follows: First,
the same care in selecting and grading
the fruit should be taken as for canning;
that is, the fruit should be all of one size
and as near the same ripeness as possible.
The exact degree of ripeness is of great
Importance, which is at that stage when
fruit is best for canning. Peaches, pears,
ETC., are pared and cut in halves as for
canning; plums, cherries, ETC., are pitted.
The fruit having thus been carefully
prepared is then put in a basket or bucket
with perforated bottom and immersed
in boiling water. The object of this is to
dilute and extract the Juice of the fruit.
The length of time the fruit is immersed
is the most important part Of the process.
If left too long it is overlooked and be-
comes soft; if not immersed long enough,
the juice is not sufficiently extracted,
which prevents a perfect absorption Of
the sugar. After the fruit has been thus
scalded and allowed to cool, it can again
be assorted as to softness. The next step
is the sirup, which is made of white
sugar and water. The softer the fruit,
the heavier the sirup required. Ordinar-
lily, about 20 degs. Balling' saccharometer
is about the proper weight for the sirup.
The fruit is then placed in earthen pans
and covered with sirup, where 1t is left to
remain about a week. The sugar enters
the fruit and displaces what juice re-
manned after the scalding process.
The fruit now requires careful watch
ing, as fermentation will soon take place,
and when this has reached a certain stage
the fruit and sirup is heated to a boiling
degree, which checks the fermentation.
| This heating process should be repeated
as often as necessary for about six weeks.
| The fruit is then taken out of the sirup
and washed in clean water, and is then
ready to be either glazed or crystallized,
as the operator may wish. If glazed, the
fruit is dipped in thick sugar sirup and
left to harden quickly in open air. If it
is to be crystalized, dip in the same kind
of sirup, but is made to cool and harden
slowly, thus causing the sugar which
covers the fruit to crystalline. The fruit
is now ready for boxing and shipping.
Fruit thus prepared will keep in any
climate and stand transportation.-J. j.

Organization and Work of the
Kent County Bible Society.


The Kent County Bible Society,
since the Spring of 1885, has thorough
ly canVassed the whole of the county
and supplied with Bibles and Testa-
ments such cases of destitutiOn of these
as were found. In view of the fact
that our population is constantly
changing, however, it is not to be pre-
sumed that the Society will have no
more work to do for years to come
and those who appreciate the impor-
tance of having the Word of Life in the
hands of the people ought not to idly
depend on what has been done. Our
last canvass, though scarcely ten years
had elapsed since similar one, reveal
ed the fact that in the county there
were no less than $50 families and 2l8
individuals without the Bible. And it
will soon be so again unless the desti-
tuition is met as it arises from time to
time. To do this, as far as possible, is
the Bible Society.
And as the Society cannot afford sal
aried agents to search out and supply
the needy cases, it appeals to you who
are pastors, and to all our Christian
people, to take this work in hand, be-
lieving that you can do it in connec-
ton with your other Christian work,
not only without detriment to it, but
with great profit. II asks to ascertain
by faithful inquiries whether there are
any families, or unmarried persons
separate from their families employed
as labOrers, &c, who are destitute of
the Word of Cod. e. have no Bible,
or only such as may be illegible,
through age or se,-and to diligently
endeavor to have such supplied.
The Society will furnish Bibles free
of cost in all cases where the persons
needing them are unable to pay them
either wholly or in part; but it require s
| that as far as possible its Bibles shall
be paid for, believing that such books
are thus bought will be more highly
priced and more likely to be taken care
of and used.
Application for donations of the So
ciety's Bibles must be made to the
President, who will give an order on
the Depositary, Mr.. Albert Cowgirl, of
Dover.
By rule of the Society, any Church
which contributes directly to the
Treasury of the Society, mag during the

the churches in the county will so far
appreciate the Importance and needs ol
its work as to be liberal contributor:
thereto, even though they do not need
Bibles for their own use. Whatever
funds the Society can spare from its
work within the county it contributes
to the American Bible Society, whose
work is worldwide.
And now, earnestly urging you tC
heartily cooperate with us in this work
especially along the lines indicated,

AN INDIAN LOVE SONG.

His winter home the bear forsakes,
The red deer sWims the shining lakes,
Up foaming falls the salmon leaps,
The wild sheep halts on dizzy sleeps,
The swans are northward flying.
With laughing voice the rivers run,
Their pillows flashing in the sun;
It is the moon Of sprouting grass,
A thousand warm sweet breezes pass,
Through lofty pine tops signing.
With bounding steps the antelope
Springs lightly down the mountain slopei
To verdant plains the bison hies,
The eagle mounts the morning skies,
And all the birds are mating.
With life and joy all things are bright,
Come forth, my lovel my souls delight,
Thy wigwam's folds throw wide apart,
For thee, oh dear and tender heart,
Thy lover true is waiting.

Similar action was taken by Morrow,

manded a second on the motion
and intimated his intention of raising
the point of no quorum.
Then Kilgore manifested desire to
compromise and withdrew the point
