admired the process consists in boil
syrup, allowing it to cool, and then
transferring it with successive heat
ings and coolings to syrups of grad
usually increasing density. The whole
process requires nearly two days. In
the finished product the fig, while
holding it's shape perfectly, has be-
come partially transparent, and as
the final syrup is clear and free from
sediment the fruit is very attractive.
For canning, figs should be picked
when still firm enough to hold their
shape. To secure the best results
than do some other fruits. The
amount of sugar used and the method
of procedure vary greatly in different
households. A pound of sugar to
three or four pounds of fruit would
probably suit most tastes, though
some prefer the regular "polnd-for-
pound preserve. Ginger root or Or
ange peel is sometimes added to give
variety of favoring, and figs are often
made into sweet pickles by adding
spices and vinegar Figs are some
times peeled before canning, and this
is considered to increase their deli
cacy of flavor More frequently, how
ever, they are cooked 'mpeeled and
with the stems on, just as they come
from the tree. They hold their shape
better and look more attractive when
treated in this way, and the differ
ence in flavor, if any, is very slight

Seed Distribution.

The appropriation of $15O,000 for
the distribution of seeds for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1897, provided
that $4,000 must be expended for
the purchase of seeds, leaving $4,000
for putting up and mailing the same.
The seeds were purchased already
put up in packages and mailed from
the different cities where the con-
tracts were held. The appropriation
for the present fiscal year lis $4,000
of which amount $4,000 must be ex-
pended in the purchase of seeds. The
condition of the law will require
contracting with the smallest possi-
BILE number of seed houses. The pur-
chase of bulbs, plants, cuttings, etc,
must be paid from the remaining
$4,000.
The spirit of the law requires that
the seeds, plants, bulbs, etc., be rare
and valuable. Efforts are being made
by the present Secretary of Agricul-
Iture to spend the appropriation for
seeds, plants, etc., by purchases
through agents and representatives
abroad, through seed houses and sci
entific associations. The Old World
contains many things that would be
valuable to the New World. All this
work, however, must be paid for out
of the $4,000 appropriated and not
required to be expended for the pur-
chase of Seeds The distribution of
imported seeds and plants to the sew
eral experiment stations throug 'hout
the country and otherwise must be
paid for out of the $4,000 fund. This
will necessarily circumscribe efforts
in this direction. 1t is desirable that
more of the appropriation given for
seeds should be available for the in
