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 ???inset t* and weather???the-crop grown upon fining plowed fields will sutler considerable ihrinKngc.???Peoria, 111.,Trauscript. 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 evaporator und before barreling, os barreling hot metafiles darkens the color.???Fanner an ' Fruit-Grower.

A few h-urs spent in these ways would certainly re~ suit in k better strain of seeds, and a few years of persistent selection would show that ???blood W'.uld tell,??? even in plants.???Rural New Y????rk- Utjmeiso Unmarkki^hub Honey.???Mrs. L. Hairisou, in the Prairie Farmer, writing about unn-a'ketnble honey, says* During the inte rim between the curly ami late flow, is a good time to utilize the odds and ends of unmirk- etible honey. At this season there ha* been in many localities a large amount of dark honey,-the product of plant lice. This can b?? fed diring a scaicity and the bees will rear joeng or the autumn harvest. It should bo led slcwly so ns to keep them breeding, and not era ugh for them to store it away. 1 food week colonies in the caps of their hives (so no ice c* n gain access to' rob from tho outside) tho crpping* from hom y that is to bo extract- id a: d all leikagc and???>dds and ends of every ???or 1 , during w. t days, when the lioes cannot 1 e in the fields.

A worm resembling the tobacco worm is devastating the potato vines of Delta county, Colorado. It is not affected by Paris green. Three and a half feet high for orchard gross is good. It was of that height when cut (early in June) at the Kansas agricultural college. Now that the harvest is nearly all dono by machinery, it is pretty hard on the horses; see to it that they have the best of caro and gen erous feeding. Mr. Culverwell, of England, claims to havo made a cross between a strawberry and a raspberry. Dr., Foeke, of Bremen, an au thority on hybrids, doubts it.

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 is well known that John A. Logan ,who was a member of congress at the time tho war b> gan, left Washington when ho saw thero was going to ho a fight, and, seizing a musket, walked all the way to Bull Run, whero he ar rived just in time to take part in tho battle.

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.
