THE COLOR OF FRUIT.

Northern fruit growers know that
the color of fruit is largely dependent
on the amount OF available potash
which the soil contains. This with
sunlight aids in the development of
both color and fine flavor. A Cali
fornia orange grower, Mr.. G. w.
Prescott, has found that iron hight
ened the color Of his product and
made it more salable. His oranges
were originally very pale, but by
using five pounds of iron filings
around his trees the color has been
changed TO n dark yellow, with in
creased quality Of fruit. SO much
iron filings probably made the soil
more open and porous. If the iron
served as plant food small quantity
would have been sufficient. Boston

KEEpING FRUIT.

All farmers cellars are supposed to
be stocked with supply of canned
fruit, jellies, ETC., but the task of I'LL.
ing these shelves and closets with good
things is sometimes heavy burden.
Grange Homes very sensibly remarks:
1t is we'll to consider wherein last
years canning work was successful or
the contrary. If anything failed to
keep, you should surely have learned
why, for nobody nowadays is so fool.
ish as to believe in luck. There was
a reason-either cold hardened rub
bers, incomplete sealing, exposure to
the drafts that cracked the jars, or
possibly they were not filled to the
brim aud air remained after sealing.
If you are not prepared to be success
full, do not attempt canning at ALL. 1t
is better to fill few Jars carefully
and be sure of them than to attempt
moro just because the fruit is spoil
ing.
Make mental balance between
time, strength and sugar on one side
and the surplus of fruit on the other.
1t may be economy to let the fruit
waste or to give it away. The pleas
antest way to put mp fruit is in a few
jars at time, so that proper care be
given to do it right this does not make
too great an addition to the regular
work. 1t doesn't always happen that
one can do that WY. Twenty or
thirty quarts of berries come into the
house unexpectedly, or the pears and
tomatoes ripen all at once, and then
is when discretion should come in
also.
The merits of drying, or evaporat-
ing, rs it is now called, should be con-
sidered. Apples, pears, berries and
pumpkins are easily dried in kitchen
evaporator. As the process is rapid
and clean the dried fruit should be
cooked in the same water in which it
is soaked; in this way flavors are pre-
served and the product equal to canned
fruit. The old-fashioned method
in which fruit and flies summed pro-
miscuously for days together is not to
be thought of in these more fastidious
times.-Farm, Field aud Fireside.

THE CARE AND CULTURE OF BEES.

81 cannot understand why more wo-
men do not take up bee culture as a
business, " said an old farmer, who has
kept bees all his life. "There may not

not, by itself, but in connection with
Horticulture, poultry and kindred pur-

IMPROVING THE FLAVOR OF BUTTER.

Professor II. c. Conn, says Food
and Sanitation, has for the past two
years been experimenting in the
direction Of discovering and cultivat-
ing the proper bacteria for improving
the flavor of butter, and recently ex-
periments have been made by him in
the production of creamery butter.
AS result of such experiments, it is
now stated that Professor Conn has
discovered n species OF bacterium to
which he has applied the insignificant
name OF "Bncillus No. Al, and which
has given the most promising results
as an organism for the artificial ripen.
ing OF cream in butter making. These
experiments, as carried on by him
were thoroughly satisfactory, and
were made IN the following manner:
One-half pint of milk was sterilized,
by incessant steaming, during period
of three or four days. Then this
bacillus No. IL, which had been cul-
tivated in the meteorological labora-
tory of Wesleyan University, was
lnoculated into the milk, and for two
days was allowed to develop. The
large creamery at Cromwell, Conn,
was then visited, and six TO eight
quarts of cream were put into metal
vessel and "pasteurized. The cream
was then heated to 15S degrees Fab,
and left for ten minutes. The vessel
was removed and cooled quickly by
means of cold water, and when the
temperature had dropped to eighty
degrees bacillus No. fl was poured in
and the mixture stirred thoroughly.
The vessel was then covered and put
into the ripening room. After u couple
of days the cream was churned, and
the huttermilk remaining was set aside
for future use. These six quarts were
ripened for the purpose of increasing
the number of bacteria, and securing
a strong culture for use in the large
cream vat of the creamery. The
buttermilk was then inocuIated
into the days cream supply, and this
cream allowed to ripen in regular
time, at q warm temperature, aud
churned as usual. Before churning a
quantity Was set aside to use for inoc-
ulation in the next days supply, and
IN this manner continued indefinitely.
The effect was always uniform. The
first six quarts of cream produced
moderately good butter, but not quite
of the flavor wanted. The first large
churning was tride better, and each
days product was an improvement. A
delicate flavor also developed, which
seemed to deteriorate after two or
three weeks. This deterioration was
reHedied by a fresh incubation from
the laboratory. Two watts of cream,
from, which June butter was made,
were taken. One quantity was inocu.
lated, and the other was not. The
butter produced by each was of high
quality, but that which had been in
oculated with bacillus No. Al had an
aroma stronger and more pleasant
than that without. 1t was also su-
perior both in taste and odor. One
lot was sent to Mr.. Beck, in Massa-
chusetts, who makes the highest grade
of butter, and who commands a very
high price in the Boston market. Mr..
Beck used the culture and reported a
decided improvement. 1t is the pur-
pose of Professor Conn to introduce
this inoculation process in all the
large creameries in the United States
within the next year.

CUTTING TIMBER,

For strength, beauty and durability
have found August, September and
October the best, and February, March
and April the worst months to cut wood.
A red maple cut in September will
keep in round log perfectly white
and sound until the next August !;
while one cut in March will begin to
blacken and decay by the middle or
last of June. This is not copied from
any scientific work, but is what have
found to be n fact by many practical
tests, says a writer in an English pa.
per. Gray birch cut in September
will keep in a good condition until the
next September, if lett in the woods
cut in four foot lengths; while if cut
in March and left in the same way it
will be nearly worthless by August l.
at least, such is the result on my land.
White pine, like red maple, keeps
white much longer il cut in Septem-
Der then if cut in March, and is not
injured hy the worms so much. l
have found that wood dried slowly in
a low, cool place is better than dried
quickly in the hot sun, even though
cut in summer. May this not, in a
measure, account for wood being bet
ter cut in autumn, it having the cold
winter to dry in?
