Preserving Fruit for Exhibit.

The Pacific Rural Press is authority
for the following, which any reader can
prove for himself:
Liverpool salt is dissolved in clear wa
ter until the brine is strong enough to
float the fruit Let this stand overnight,
and then strain through a cloth until the
liquid is perfectly clear. Place the fruit
to be preserved in thoroughly clean wide
mouthed jars fill to the brim with the
brine and then close tightly. While this
method for long time perfectly pre-
serves the bloom and color of the fruit,
it, of course, units it for eating. Twigs,
with the foliage attached, when preserved
in this way, are exceedingly attractive
for exhibition purposes.

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
1. Is fennel (some call it dog fennel) which
grows from two to four feet high and has fine,
whitish flowers, good for fertilizer or any other
purpose? &#t#
2. Is fire wood ashes of any value as fertiliz-
er?
8. We had quantity of Japan persimmon gratis
put into the wild trees this spring. Some OF them
are growing finely, but many of the leaves GU
riously curbed up at the edges, enclosing a white
granular substance, and there is life in it of some
sort, looking rather louise like. Is it anything
that will iniure the trees? A. Nv.
1. No. The dog fennel is considered in
sections of the South where it grows
most profusely, as the most worthless OF
weeds. 1t is possible that it might be
valuable as a mulch, but would not rec
ommend it, as we have never heard of it
being tried
2. AS a complete fertilizer-no, nor any
other kind of ashes. AS a source of pot
ash it has some little value, not enough,
however, to justify it's application when
there is any great expense attached toit.
AS an improver of the mechanical condi-
tion of the soil tits of unquestiOned value,
but too expensive to apply in effective
quantities.
3. Your trees are affected with some
form of plant lice, which, although not
dangerous frequently denudes the tree Of
it's foliage. They may be removed by an
application of kerosene emulsion.
