Keeping Fruit Without Caxs.???-In our is-
(ue of July 19th we published a communica
tion to the Prairie Farmer from the editor of
tie Sharou (Mass.) Advocate, describing a
fciinple process of keeping fruits in bowls and
???*. cl her open top vessels, simply covered with
the unglazcd cotton, such as is purchased in
the stores rolled in blue paper, as follows:
??????Directions: Use crocks, stone butter jars, or
any other convenient dishes. Prepare and
cook the fruit precisely as for canning in glass
jars; fill y<&r dishes with the fruit whilo it is
yet hot, and immediately cover with cotton
batting securely tied on. Remember that all
putrefaction is caused by the invisible croa-.
lutes in the air. Cooking the fruit expels all
the;'?, and as they can not pass through cotton
batting, the fiuit thus protected will keep au
indefinite period. Tho writer of this has kopt
berries, cherries, plums, and many other
kinds of fruit for two years with no cover save
batting on the jars.???
[As previously stated, if fruit can thus bo
unfailing kept, it is a matter of great interest.
We find in tne Sharou Advocate of July 25th,
. ur articles and remarks copied, and the fol
lowing editorial remarks, which are confirm
atory of the previous statements, and we ad
vise at least a limited trial of tho process by
our readers. We will not discuss tne theory
the method, which is of less immediate im
mediate importance than the practical out
conic. Mr. Wickes eays}:
???This subject is of such importance to the
public, and so little understood, that we again
iefcr to it. Brother Judd, editorot the Prairie
Karuitr, is no doubt correct in supposing that
the preservation of fruits in tightly soaledeaus
remit* from the exclusion of the oxygon of the
fl ir. We suppose, however, that depriving the
Bacteria of < xygen deprives them oflife, us no
animal life can exist without it. Professor
Tyndall demonstrated several years ago that
ail putrefaction was caused by tho Bacteria in
the nir, and could be prevented by enclosing
the article in cotton batting.
???The published results of Tyndall???s experi
ment fell under the eye of Dr. Chase, an em
inent physician of Thomaston, Maine, and ho
at once saw its practical value. At his sug
geetion, Mrs. Chase put up several gallons of
damson plums in stono pots with but little
sugar, the jars being only covered with cotton
tatting. The plums kept perfectly, until
opened one and two years afterward. Mrs,
Chore told the result to tho editor of tho Ad
v?? rate, and wo bavo for three years put up
berries in the same way, and never had ajar
fail to keep. Last year wc opened in the pres
cnee of several people^ a jar of blueberries that
had been put up just two years, and finin '
them in nice order. To Professor Tyndall
L* longs the honor of the discovery, and to Mrs,
Chase the honor of being the first to make
practical uso of it. We dosiro to make so use
ful a matter known to tho general public, am.
we only claim to have been the first to publish
the dirccticns.???
Worms Destroying Corn Root.???Many of
our farmers are surprised at the appearance of
their ffelds-of corn ut present, especially fields
that were planted upon ground in corn tho
previous year. Many are wondering at tho
enure of the apparent stand-still of some hills,
while others near by arc growing rank and ap
I ear to hold color well. If any arc yet it
doubt concerning the cause they have but to
lay hold upon one of tbeso small hills,
slight pull will take it out of the ground. T.loy
will find a few short, dead roots covered an 1
filled with worms. Theso insect pests have
worked in tho roots to such an extent as to rob
i v tjie plants of needed nourishment. The dry
weather which has prevailed over such an ex
t< nt of country hns been favorable to tho do-
stiuetion of the corn plants. Between tho two

Sorghum Evaporators.???Tho largo pans in
vnriHLly give the best satisfaction to the opara-
ft r. Tne small pans should be ordered only
for small crops where tho work will not justii'y
a large outluy. Every syrup manufacturer
who wishes to make it success of his business
mid produce a good article should be supplied
w.th n defecating pan or small furnaco adjoin
ing to, and tho depth of pan abovo evaporator
furnace, a spout from bottom of defecating pan
leading into evaporator so as to convey con
tents of pan into evaporator aftor thorough de
feating. He will thus, besides making a
n.ucli finer grade of syrup, materially increase
his capacity. Ifc should also have ono or two
rdditional tanks or large barrels connected by
pipe or trough with mill, and slightly elevatod
above tho defecating tank, to allow thejuico
to settle btlore del'???eating. He should also
have a tank for cooling syrup after leaviug

time to utilize the odds and ends of unmirk-

in many localities a large amount of dark
honey,-the product of plant lice. This can b??

Reunion of Army Chapeains.???At Ocean
Grove, N. J., was held last week a grand re
union of the chaplains of the late war aud the
officers and workers of tho Christian and sani
tary commissions of tho northern armies,
lion. George II. Stewart, of Philadelphia, pre
sided, and General U. 8. Grant and other mil
itary geutlemen were introduced to the con
vention. On Friday night the presiding offi
cer called out Dr. A. E. Dickinson, of Rich*
mond, to speak for tho south. Mr* Stewart
said, ???Wo wish to know what was dono in
your southern armies in Christian work.??? Dr.
Dickinson replied: ???If there is anything I
enn tell you it is that, for I had tho honor ta
superintend army colportngo on my side of tho
lii.es, and that broiiglit mo in close relations
to chaplains and other Christian workers of
the southern armies. At one time tho Bap
tists alone hod ono hundred colportars and
missionaries at work iu tho army, and tho
Methodists and Presbyterians and Episcopa
lians of the south were just as zealous a* were
the Baptists. As our men hurried to the bat
tlefields they were followed by the prayers
and active sympathies of tho churches. You
had the advantage of us in that tho salary of
chaplains here did not depreciato as did tho
salary of tho confederate chaplain. Wo had
to support ours by voluntary contributions,
while yours were supported by tho United
8taUs government. 1 wish you honest men of
the north could know tho wonderful religious
history of tho confederate tinny. Tho four
years of fighting were four years of revivals,
in which many thousand tnon professed faith
in Christ. Never since Cromwell???s time has
there been more wonderful religious enthusi
asm among bravo men than was exhibited in
the southern armies, and it reached up to the
commanding genera Is as well ns down to the
humblest private. As soon as the war closed
thuso men returned to tho peaceful pursuits of
life, and they are trying to meet their obliga
tions there without much worrying over tho
losses which befell them in tho great struggle.
???Wo were ns honest and as earnest us you
were. For nearly a hundred years the quos-.
tions over which we fought had been in con
troversy, and, human nature being as it' is,
there had to aorom<?? fighting. But now that
twenty years nave passed since the confeder
ates Blacked their nuns at Appsmnttox, is it
not time that we should understand each other
and do justice to the motives which impelled
each section in tho bloody conflict? Thoro is
a growing good feeling, but it needs to be
cherished, and the best way to cherish it is to
deal fairly and honestly with each othor. It
will not do to believe all you hear about the
south. It will take time to get fully right,
and there is need of patience. Thoro I* less
bitter sectional feeling iu this country to-day
thnn there???s been for fifty years. Let that
??? ct encourage us to goon unto perfection.???
At tho cToso of Dr. Dickinson???s remarks
President Stewart said: Now let us sing ???Blest
bo tho tie that hinds our hearts in Christian
love,??? and whilo we do that let???s give Dr.
Dickinson tho hand of fellowship.
After that was dono the buuediction was
pronounced.
Grkrbal Logan???s Account or Bull Run.???It

The Largest Cotton Farm in Alabama,
Which will be Made OOU Hales of Cotton.
From the Unlou Spring* Hcnibl.
Last Thursday the Herald man, fn company
with Mr. J. F. Iaurater, M. B. Houghton and L.
Ham, wirited tho farm of Messrs. Roberts and
Salter, about five miles north of this city.
These two young men have with wonderful
energy nml agricultural skill reclaimed from virgin
forests nnd sedgy old fields some of the best land
in the county, nnd have mnrte tt blossom like..
garden. In tho last four years they have cleared
over UtiO acres of land ami dug twenty-live mile* of
ditches. Viesnw one solid body of emerald green
cotton on 2^0 items of fresh bottom laud, the plant
reaching up to our shoulder* on horseback, and
heavily fruited with boll* aud square*, which the
rxpei ts of our party snid would not inakelus*
than tlirce-fourtu* of n bale to the acre.
With the exception ol those of a few ???squad*???
theciopn were hi a line condition, and theso
wete tciug worked out by au extra number of
hands nnd teams kept for Jhnt purpose by tho
film. The system nnd order maintained on this
Immune plantation is eomowliut marvelous, but
in vitally necessary to success. Everything i* reg
ulated vi iHi military precision, and the ???hands???
go to work and return to their meals by tho tap
of the tall. The small army of laborer* an I tholr
frmilicson the farm, numbering some eight hun-
died touls. aro comfortably housed and arc appa
rently my contented. Each family lias its gar-
c cn *i nit nnd raises pigs, chi .kens. etc.
Although cotton is regarded by tho proprietors
ns tbe innin marketable product of tho farm, they
do not neglect coni, which furnishes the sinews of
war, so to speak, to make cotton with. A large
body of corn wns shown us that Mr. Il.ttn, a fa-iner
of Judgment nnd cxjieHence, estimated would
yield foity bushel* to thoucrc, and much going as
nigh n* titty bushels. Mr. Roberts himself thinks
that the coin will average twenty-five bushels to
theatre. From actual experiment on our four
screr, Mr. Roberts has demonstrated that corn
be made on his place nt ten cents per bushel.
In 18>2, with u much Manlier force, and less land
in cultivation, MessrsTtoberts A Halter made
