HONEY AND EARLY GOLDEN PERSIMMONS.
to improve by crossing with the Japan
type, which is really a very superior
fruit, but unfortunately too tender for
this climate. If a hybrid could be OBJ
tanned which would add hardness to
the good qualities OF the best Japan
kinds, we should have fruit but little
il any inferior to the peach tree, much
longer lived, more reliable and just as
productive. But this is a work for the
future, according to Mr. Benjamin
Buchanan, who has something to say
in Rural New Yorker about seedlings
which have been selected from the
wilds where they grew and named
Probably fully % varieties have been
named, fully half of which are we'll
worth planting by the farmer and even
perhaps by the commercial grower.
Most kinds have too many seeds, but a
few are nearly seedless-that is, the
smaller ones have no seeds, the medi-
UNI ones from none to one and the lar
gest from one TO two seeds. However,
the so called "seedless' varieties are
usually only medium OF under in size.
A few varieties ripen mostly before
frost here, but the large majority later,
some of the wild ones hanging TO the
trees until Christmas. For home use
soft fruits may be tolerated. These are
the juiciest or have the fewest seeds.
But to carry and sell the fruit must
have reasonable degree of firmness.
Usually this firmness is given by the
seeds, but sometimes by dryness of
flesh If the flesh can be rather dry
and at the same time good in quality,
there is a great advantage in market
ing. Some otherwise good varieties
have dirty yellow or watery color.
Among those that meet the market
eye is the Early Golden, which is pro-
ductive, of above medium size, round
fine yellow, with sometimes a blush;
rather dry and firm, yet CT very good
quality and, as its name indicates, rip
ems early before the wild ones come in
to market. 1t has too many seeds, but
not more than the average. Honey, OBJ
late in form, is larger, later, swceter
and better in quality, just as many
seeds and decidedly softer. 1t has the
watery yellow color.
The market for this fruit is inprov-
ing, and soon there will be a steady
and increasing demand. The persinl-
mon is not particularly difficult to prop
agate and transplant. 1t is reasonably
hardy and very productive. The tree
is as hardy as the average apple. Seeds
planted in the fall as peach pits will
make a foot growth above ground and
two feet at least below. | have graft
cd in early spring by the ordinary cleft
method, tying with cotton yarn and
using hot wax applied with brush,
and in series of years probably so per
cent of the crafts have lived. Some
bud with success. If the roots are tax
en- out to the depth of IS inches when
transplanting and replaced properly
early in the spring, there need be but
little loss in setting an orchard. at the
outside say 10 per cent.

Commenting upon some selected ma
tive American persimmons Rural New
Yorker says these varieties are all bet
ter in quality than any of the Japan
sorts that can be bought in our city
markets, and if large size and firm
flesh can be added without great dete-
rioration in favor the persimmon will
become a fruit of real Importance.
The heather plant thrives best in a
soil that contains large proportion Of
oxide of iron.
Like all kinds of plants, the fuchsa
requires a season of rest. The fuclsia's
period of rest is in winter. 1t is there

ABOUT MUSHROOMS.
How to Prepare This Delicious Ed
bic Fungus,

How to Prepare This Delicious Edi-
bic Fungus.
A Brooklyn woman's favorite way of
cooking mushrooms is Dreaming them,
says the New York Tribune. She first
boils them in a little sailed water until
they are tender and then turns over
them a cream sauce. Another method
which she often employs is to put them
into baking pan, add little sailed
water and cover the pan tightly, allow
ing the mushrooms to steam until they
are tender.
For broiling she cuts the steam rath-
er short and broils them first on one
side and then ON the other.
Mushrooms are also excellent roast
ed. To do this the gills are sprinkled
with salt, and they are laid, head
down, ON pan and put into medium
oven. There is no end to the more
elaborate ways of preparing them for
the table, but genuine mushroom low
err prefers the simpler methods.
Mushrooms should be gathered while
they are young and fresh, as they be-
come wormy very early. The Agaricus
campestris abounds on old farms and
pastures, but does not grow in the
woods.
Puffballs, also common to pastures
are delicious when they are new. These
often grow to a large size and are
sliced and sauteed in butter. They are
also good stewed.
All the clayaria, OF coral, mushrooms
are edible These are common in deep
forests and grow on old logs. They ap-
pear in white, yellow and sort of Law
ender. These should be looked over
carefully, washed thoroughly and soak
ed in salt and water for time. If one
worm is discovered, it is well to throw
away the whole mushroom, as the in
sects are almost microscopical and will
be pretty sure to have invaded the en-
tire head. The coral mushrooms are
cooked the same as other kinds. The
white clayaria are preferred by most
people, as they have more dainty ap-
pearance than the colored ones.

Winter Work.

There are likely to be many days in
this month when much other work can
be done besides the care of stock.
There are those who improve their
time during the winter in cutting wood
and lumber for home use or sale, and
some of them have so much of this to
do or try to do SO much of it that they
neglect the work al home or continue
their work in the wood until it is so
late in the spring shat they are behind
with what they should have done car
Her and thus are behind all the season,
losing more in their crops than they
gain by their sales of wood. There
might be the time well spent Oh many
farms in improvements that can be
made as well in winter as at any other
season if the ground is not covered
with snow. Moving old and useless
walls, heaps of stones or loose stones
in the fields, digging stumps or filling
up swamp holes might be easier done
in winter than at any other time and
would add to the value of the farm.
The drawing out of the manure upon
the land is easier in winter than when
the ground is soft in the spring, and it
will enrich the soil so as to make it bet
ter fitted for the plants to start in next
spring. Many good farmers say that
three or four loads put on in December
will produce better results on the next
years crops than five would if put on
in March OF April-American Cultiva-
