New Method of Keeping Fruit Fresh.

1t is possible that q recent French
| discovery points the way to a revolu-
ton in the preservation of grapes and
other fruit. and may enable the grower,
by al exceedingly inexpensive process,
TO hold the product of his orchard and
vineyard indefinitely, and market it at
his leisure. The method has not been
tested in this country, as yet, but seems
founded on scientific basis, and Is
simple and by no means costly.
Heretofore cold storage, always ex.
pensive. has proved the only method
by which this could be accomplished
An enterprising Frenchman, Mons. A.
Petit, of scissors, claims to have solved
the problem by storing fruit in a cham.
Der or receptacle, the atmosphere of
| which is saturated with the vapor of
| alcohol. The fruit is placed on clean
shavlngs, or sawdust spread upon the
floor OF the chamber or on tiers of shell
| wing. A bottle of alcohol is uncorked
and placed in the center of the cham.
Der, which should be theoretically at
least) air tight Evaporation of alcohol
OF course takes place Immediately. and
| continues until the air is thoroughly
saturated, when it ceases, and there is
| no further loss of alcohol The nearer
| the receptacle approaches an absolutely
| air tight condition, the less will be the
amount of alcohol required. A box. for
instance, a few feet square, holding
some bushels of fruit, would probably
require less than the contents of phial:
while large chamber for purposes Of
commercial storage might require q
carboy If its dimensions were sufi-
GENTLY great.
ANY one may test the efficacy of this
discovery for himself by constructing a
box or chest Of matched and dressed
flooring, and such course is strongly
urged upon the public, as great results
may accrue.
The process is claimed to be effective
with all fruits suffering from decay
superlnduced by any of the various
moulds. Grapes, however, are especial
ly adapted to this treatment. Mons

Potato Rot.

q. ). H., Statham, Ga: am requested
oy gentleman who came from the North
ana has been farming, to ask what causes
irish potatoes to turn black inside. What

Answer by HUGH N. SrAENEs, Horti-
culturist:l
The affection is probably due to a
well'known fungus the Pbytopthora

pearance until late in the season, either
North or South. 1t attacks both vines
and tubers, causing the former to wilt

1T, however. to be observed in the
South-very little indeed, compared
with its prevalence at the North. That,
however, is probably due more to the
fact of it not having as yet been gen.
orally introduced and dissem animated than
to any peculiar exemption extended by
our climate. although climatic condi-
tons do, to certain extent, control it.
There is generally more moisture at the

North, and moisture is of course condr-

In the tuber, continues for some time
to develop and produces rot among the
potatoes after storing. 1t does not,
however, survive the winter in the soil,
though it does in the tubers. Hence
remedies must be applied to the seed

to 105 degrees and maintained for six

Spraying the seed potatoes with Bor-

Acertain party in Jasper county. Ga.
| offers to furnish for the sum of one
| dollar, recipe for making eight (S)
pounds of butter from one gallon of
sweet milk. AS we came by the recipe
fairly, and are nnder no obligations to
secrecy, we give it to the public. 1t is
as follows:
"@Put the following ingredients in
one gallon of fresh sweet milk:
Eight pounds of good butter.
One pound Of table salt
Forty to 80 drops Of butter color.
One teaspoonfnl cream Of tartar
The above will make I6 pounds of
butter. Set the churn in a tub of cold
or warm water to get the temperature
right. When that is right il usually
takes i5 to 80 minutes churning."
1t would seem clear to any honest
man of common sense that the above
recipe is fraud on its very face. Every
man knows, or ought to know, that
there are abont 2 IL pounds of water
in an average gallon of sweet milk.

Effect of Removal of a Green Crop.

A. j. K, Jefferson, Ca: Does the cut
ting of green crops off the soil iniure the
soil II SO, why so 1t has been said
that an oat crop always Injuries land, and
because it is cut rather cen. Is this
truef Your answer win be looked for
with much interest.
Answered by the Director.
The cutting and removal of a green
crop from the land does not injure the
soil any more than the removal of the
same crop when fully matured. On
the contrary, the removal of matured
crop takes from the soil larger quanti-
ty OF soil elements than does the re-
mcyal OF an unmatuTed crop. The re-
mowal of any crop from the land Sin
Jures" the soil more or less according to
the character and weight Of the CROP,
because such removal takes from the
soil the elements of fertility. But the
oat crop is not particularly exhausting,
and is much less so than a crop of mil
let, sorghum, broom corn. or even In
dian corn. The ,oat is more injurious
than wheat because it removes more
from the soil, both in grain and straw.
Very carefully conducted experiments
have shown that the quantity of dry
matter contained in the entire plants
roots and all-of an acre of oats in
creases constantly up to the time when
the crop is fully ripe; and that the
quantity of valuable soil elements con
tanned in the whole plants constantly
increases up to the same time. When
the CROP is ripe it contains less water
but more OF everything else than at
any previous stage of its growth

Among several admirers of a grand and
quiet pastIme who whipped and troIIed the
lakes for trout and bass were some of the
most experienced and practical anglers of
this City, but with all their cunning and
dainty lures only poor success was the re-
suit of hard effort and great perseverance.
Those among the fraternity who hereto
fore laughed at the idea of the moon at
fecting trout fishing in any way are now
converted to the general belief that poor
angling invariably follows bright moon
light nights. Now that the moon is on
the wane an improvement IN the sport
should result.
'fFirst-class sport" are the words that
generally appear at the commencement of
letters received by lovers of angling IN this
City from friends who are at present rusti-
eating in the mountains. Al Cumming
writes from Boca that the rainbows of the
Truckee River have commenced to recog-
nize a fly and that the sport of fy-tishmg
may be excellent in a few weeks. He
caught q splendid mess of whoppers few
days ago during thunderstorm and in
letter to Henry Skinner descriptive OF the
fun he is having said:

ner that created jealous feelings among rival

how do yOG suppose l accomplished the

out its full length the fish leaped

stautly fash of lightning almost blinded my
sight; but imagine my establishment after the
flash had gone when felt dead weight at the
end of the line-the fish was actually stricken
Gead by creased lightning. l Immediately set

prize to the shore, and as the immense salmO

otter spTang out from under the bank upon
which l was standing, dashed at my fine trout,
and although l emptied my pistol at him the
cuss managed 10 get away with my Truckee
beauty and ten yards OF Highland line. Now,
what do you think of that, Henry Please do
not show this letter to THE CALLS sporting edi-
tor as he may josh what is candidly truthful

There is very little news of any impor-
lance to relate as regards the fishing of
coast streams. Some nice catches have
been made by anglers who fshed late in

THE KNIGHTS OF CHESS,
A Match by Telegraph to Be
Played With the Seattle
Chess Club.
Scores Of the Local Players in the
Long Tournament Up to
Last Evening.

Local chess-players will have another
opportunity to measure their strength
against outsiders, as negotiations have
been opened with the Seattle Chess Club
in reference to a Geographic chess match.
T. Martin received a telegram on July II
stating the Seattle players could not play
before the list of August. 1t would seem
from this information that the Seattle men
intend to make extraordinary efforts to get
their strongest players together and thus
make the contest an interesting one for the
local players.
Joseph Ney Babson of Montreal, the
well-known problem composer, is great
accession to the chess department of the
Mechanics Institute. His games are
generally marked by brilliancy of concep-
ton, which makes them much more attrac-
tive to the spectators than the ordinary
games played.
The senior and minor chess tournaments
being played at the Mechanics Institute
have aroused considerable enthusiasm as
the competition is very keen. Thompson
and Cole are the leading players in first
and second classes respectively, both
having won six and drawn two games out
of total of eight games played. Over 100
games have already been played in both
classes. Herewith is the score at $50
o'clock last night of each class, showing
the number of games won, lost and drawn
by each of the contestants. A drawn game
counts as half won and half lost for each
of the players.
