They Are Valuable For Preserving Ar.

The fern plant, which grows almost

uabie fruit, fresh butter, ETC., are No
longer seen in the English markets
packed in grapevine leaves, but almost
always in fresh fern leaves. which
keep the articles exceIlently. This Is
done where grapevine leaves are to be
had tn abundance. Every one posted
well in botany knows the high prcserv-
alive power of fern leaves with refer
ence to vegetable and animal sub
stances.
On the Isle OF Man fresh herrings
are packed In ferns and arrive on the
market in as fresh condition as when
they were shipped. Potatoes packed
IN ferns keep many months longer
than others packed only In straw. Ex-
periments made with both straw and
fern leaves in the same cellar showed
surprising results In favor Of ferns.
While the potatoes packed in straw
mostly showed signs Of rottlng In the
spring, those in ferns were as fresh as
II they had just been dug.
Fresh meat Is also well preserved by
fern leaves. 1t would seem as II the
highly preservative qualities OF fern
leaves are due to their high percentage
Of salt. No larvae, maggots, etc.. ap-
proach ferns, as the strong odor keep
them away.-New York Times.
