though little or nothing is done for
the preservation and extension of the
breed.
On French farms, from thirteen to
hfteen acres is the smallest territory
on which q man can live without some
other work. Those who have less exc
out their income with Job work. So
soon as q laborer saves some money he
buys land at about two hundred dol

Protecting Young Fruit Trees.

An Indiana correspondent Of Amer.
lean Gardening writes:
1--WE have tried many plans to keep
rabbits and insects from injuring
young fruit trees, but the best thing
yet is tarred paper. We buy the paper
as it is prepared for roofing and cut it
into strips about six inches wide and
two feet long. 1t is easily and quick
ly wrapped about the trees, and is Sc
cured with strings. The offensive
smell of tar drives insects away, and
they will not get between the tree and
wrappings as when rags and veneering
are used. We wrapped thirty-five acres
of trees in tins way and the paper has
now been on two years" This is GER
tainly worth a trial.

PIckLINe AND PRESERVING.
Same Of the Methods Suggested by Good
Housekeeping of Putting Away Fruit.


Same OF the Methods Suggested by Good
Housekeeping of Putting Away Fruit.
Pickles preserves and marmalades,
Jellies and jams, housewifely aids.
Thematter of picking, preserving, cam
ming and otherwise using the available
products of summer and autumn is q
large, very large one; hence few sug-
gestions made at this time may be well
come. The peach Is favorite with most
housewives, for If of good quality and
properly handled it may be depended
upon for flavor and attractiveness. Here
is a recipe for preserving peaches:
The peaches and sugar, Of equal
weight, are put into the kettle In layers
beginning and ending with layer Of
sugar. Set over the fire, and pint Of
water to each 4 pounds of fruit and sug-
ar is added. The sirup is brought to a
boil, which continues for half an hour,
when the peaches are taken carefully out
and put on fat dish in the sun. The
sirup is boiled down till it is thick and
clear, when the peaches are put back
and boiled till they look clear, when the
whole is ready for putting into the cans,
which are sealed when cool.
A dark rich jelly may be made with
damson plums, which are to be stoned
and skinned. The proportion of sugar
is pound for pound" and the mixture
is to be stewed as for jam. While it is
stewing crack few Of the stones, peel
the kernels and stew them among the
fruit, to which they give a pleasant
flavor suggestive of almonds. The cook
ing will be done in 20 minutes, when the
mixture is poured into molds, the top
being covered with white paper which
has been dipped in brandy.
For pineapple marmalade use pound
of sugar to pound of fruit, and chop
the pineapple into as fine bits as possible
after peeling and coring it. Mix the
sugar with it, and in the morning cook
it for about half an hour. At the end
Of this time it should be soft enough to
put through puree sieve. Strain it in
this way and return it to the preserving
kettle. Continue cooking it, stirring it
constantly, until is clear, amber color
ed paste, which becomes firm when it is
cold 1t will take about half or three
quarters of an hour longer. Cool it in
earthen jars.
Use only ripe fruit for peach pickles.
Weigh after peeling, and for each 10
pounds of peaches take quart of vinegar,
AZ pounds Of sugar and as much mace,
cloves and cinnamon or whatever spice
is preferred as will give the desired flavor.
Lay the peeled peaches upon the sugar
for an hour; then drain off the sirup thus
formed and add cupful Of water. Bring
this to boil and skim as long as any
scum rises; then put in the peaches, boil
for five minutes and lay them upon fiat
dishes to cool When cool, put them into
Jars. In the meantime add the vinegar
and spices TO the sirup. boil gently for
IS minutes and then pour it over the
fruit in the jars. Protect from the at
mosphere in an approved manner.
