class in September, 1889. Ia tho fall of
that year, as is too frequently the case
with other dcwEy entered students IN our
colleges, he WAS the victim OF thought
less prank by his associates, who little
dreamed OF the serious Consequences OF
their act. Damp newspapers had been
placed under the sheets of his bed, aud
with the pride of spirited boy, rather
than confess his annoyance at what he
knew WAS intended as an innocent prank
he allowed them to remain there during

ended his college career, and was the
prelude to a rapidly developing case of
consumption, which neither the skill of
his physician nor the tender solicitude
and care of a devoted mother aud family

He ended his morta! career On Monday,
the closing moments Of his life having

Neither farmer nor householder
with small garden spot should mod
crate the value of the garden products,
especially when by seasonable atten-
ton these can be rendered available
for early use. In. the Northern and
Central States some forcing process
must be resorted to, such as the use of
hot-bed or greenhouse in which
plants can be greatly advanced by the
time it is safe to transplant in the
open ground. Those who cannot avail
themselves of the means mentioned
may gain the same results from very
simple and inexpensive methods. For
instance, a sufficiedt number of plants
of many varieties can be forced sew
eral weeks by having the seed in
boxes placed indoors where the light
has. free access, as in kitchen or sit

emphasize the Importance of some OF
the forcing methods by which plants
of our choicer vegetables can be OBJ

son. AS many of the plants are all the
more vigorous for transplanting, the

The California method of drying
prunes produces lighter colored fruit
than that dried by the French method,
but gives more highly favored prod
uct. The natural color is better pre-
served. Both systems are used in this
State prune which cannot be dis
tinguished from the French article
be made. The Steamboat process and
cooked-fruit flavor, does not seem, to
the best growers, desirable, nor de-
manded by the public. w. III. Aiken,
of Wrights, one of the best prune-
growers of the State, says that the fruit
should be ripe enough to fall easily.
Dip into boiling mixture of one pound
lye to ten gallons of water, and so
scald and crack the skins. Dip in cold
water and put on trays in the sun.
When dry but not hard, put in covered
bins to ''sweat." Dip for two minutes
in boiling water; dry and pack for
market. He adds, "The California
sun-dried prune is delicious when
stewed, while the French, being al
ready cooked, tastes well before stew
ing, but is more insipid afterwards
Prunes are usually graded by ma
chine before they are dried. The fine
finishing, or "gloss" varies with differ
ent growers. Some expose TO steam,
some, as Mr.. Aiken, dip in hot water.
Some use hot-sugar syrup, some dip in
boiled prunejuice. The most preva-
lent practice, however, is to use hot
water, with pure glycerine, one pound
to twenty gallons, for "gloss." In
the California methods the saving of
labor is manifest. The yield of prunes
per acre is said to be larger here than
in France, and the crop is handled, on
the whole more cheaply.-LAm. Gar
