BREAD FRUIT.
A Superior Vegetable or Delicious Pudding

superior Vegetable or Delicious Pudding,
as You Wish to Use 1t.
The bread fruit, an important edible
in most of the tropical regions of the
globe. is a native of the South Sea
islands, and is the product of a tree
which grows to the height of perhaps
forty or fifty feet. The fruit is of the
size and shape of a muskmelon. and
for eating must be gathered before it
is fully ripe, as it has then AN offensive
taste: but as different varieties of the
tree ripen their fruit at different sea-
sons, it is easy to have a supply about
all the year around. 1t may be cooked
III many different ways, but the COM
mon method among the people most
dependent upon it is to bake it in pit
through the agency of heated stones.
1t may be cut in thin slices and dried
in the sun for future use. when it is
available for grinding into flour or for
baking without the fornality of pull
verization. The fruits are sometimes
stored in pits for future use. In that
case they ripen and ferment, giving
very unpleasant smell, and forming a
substance of cheesy appearance; but
after being baked the offensive odor
disappears, and the food secured is
palatable and nutritious. An English
writer who had thoroughly tested bread
fruit says of it: with meatand gravy
it is a vegetable superior to anything
| know either in temperate or tropical
climates With sugar milk. butter or
treacle it is delicious pudding, having
Il very slight and delicate but char
acteristic flavor. of which, like that of
good bread and potatoes, one never
tires. "-tiooI Health.

Farm Hints.

Exercise will do the very little pigs
good give them range as soon as they
are able to toddle.
Keep your poultry houses clean, and
dust them two or three times a week
with coal ashes.
Ten or twelve hens we'll cared for will
furnish more eggs than double the
number uncared for.
Care, exercise, kind treatment and
constant attention have much to do
with an animals welfare.
Brighten the chickens as little as
possible by chasing or trying to catch
them when they are about to be killed.
You can keep celery in the cellar
very nicely if you will only remember
to keep the roots moist and the tops dry.
II the potato field was injured by rot
or any of the diseases tt which potatoes
arc subject, by no means use it for
potatoes next season.
Chopped raw onions thrown to the
fowls two or three times a week act as
a stimulant to the blood and an appeti-
ger. They will do no harm at any
time.
Earth worms are very liable 10 get in
the cabbage heads if stored out in
open ground. Better sprinkle a good
lot of coal ashes on the ground before
you put the cabbages down upon it.
10 keep beets, carrots, turnips, pars-
nips and any other roots for Winter,
take a barrel and put some sand on the
bottom, then some roots and sand on
top, and so on until the barrel is full.
and then put in the cellar.

Silk Made of Wood

At Bradford, England, silk has been
made from wood pulp 80 much like the
real thing that it bids fair to occupy a
like place in commerce and use. It is
produced by subjecting vegetable
fibre to the action of various acids, the
result being a product said to be identi-
cal with the ilament of the worm, hav-
ing its lightness, lustre and all its
qualities, including that of durability.
Samples Of yarn, fringe, braid,
brocades and other fabrics, dyed in
various colors, have been exhibited by
the Bradford makers to the trade, and
pronounced all right and up to the
commercial standard in all respects.
With artificial silk, and artificial dia-
monds and rubies. such as are now
being turned out in great abundance,
modern society will doubtless take on
q style Of splendor hitherto unknown,
o~utshining the courts of Solomon or the
Queen Of Sheba, or the retinues of
Mahmoud or Haroun AL Raschid.-
