Canning Fruit.
Like many others, I tried, n;ain aud
again, to seal fruits without molding upon
the top. I was particular in following
the printed directions in general use. hut
found that my cam, when cold, would
not lx more than two thirds full, and in a
lew days a white mold appeared upon the
top. 1 linally appealed to a friend who,
I knew canned large quantities lor her
own use. She showed me fruit over a
year old, quite fresh, the cans full, and
no mold. I at once adopted her plan
which I have since followed witli great
success. I have no interest in the man
ufacture of cans, and believe that every
one should do his own advertising, but I
prefer that kind iu which you have only
the can, glass cover and rubber to use.
Fruit can be kept just as well without,
as with, sugar ; and those sealed up lor
pies arc better without any, as they will
retain their flavor far better, llrass ket
tles should never be used. Tin pans or
kettles lined with porcelain, so as to pre
serve the most perfect, flavor of the fruit,
are the best. While my fruit is being
.scu'.ded, I put a gill ot cold water
in ach can, and fill up with hot water,
putting the covers and rubber also into
hot water. The fruit need not be cooked
only heated to the boiling point un
less in preparing pears or quinces, or
Home other hard fruits that may require
more cooking, and then only just so that
a straw may he passed through, always
being careful to have juice enough to
cover the fruit. As soon as boiling hot,
empty the water from a can and fill; then
another, or as many as can well be at
tended to. Let the cans stand open un
til you can comfortably bear the hands
upon them. Meanwhile more fruit may
be heated.
Cut thick writing paper in round
pieces the size of tho t p of each can,
and when the contents of the cans are
eooled, slip a piece over the top of the
fruit in each can, and at once fill up on
top of the paper with boiling juice (saved
for the purpose), and put on the covers
ns soon as filled, according to the direc
tions given.
1 often seal up cherries and tomatoes,
only for Winter use, in one gallon stone
jars that are small at the top, prepared
just the same as for glass. Leave oil" the
covers, seal with melted rosin, adding a
little tallow. Try it on a piece of cloth ;
if too Little, add a little more tallow, ami
vice versa. -Cut a paper also for the top
of the jar, just so it will come over the
dge, and dip a piece of thick cloth into
the rosin, only upon one side, spread over
the jar and tie down; now, with a spnon,
J i p and spread on the hot rosin, until en
tirely covered, pressing down the sides
with the hands dipped in cold water.
When cold, if the jar is air tight, the
cover will be depressed a quarter of au
inch or more. ISut if it is level, then
you must seal it again. Those who can
common sour cherries will find them
greatly improved by first draining off all
the juice, and then covering them with
water scald and drain off and cover over
again for .sealing, canning, preserving, or
dryiug. Farm and Fireside.
History of the Mercer Potato.
In the year 1802, Mr. John Kilkey of
Mercer county, l'ennfeylyania, living along
Neshnock creek, planted a quantity of
blue, red, white and other varieties of
potatoes, from the product of which he
selected the above named variety, which
at first were called Neshanocks, after the
creek near which he lived. They were
Boon after brought into notice by the
name of Mercer and cultivated near I'll il
adolphia. From thence spread over tho
whole country, and for a long time, more
generally cultivated than other varieties,
but -of late years has been rather on the
decline, and other now varieties have been
introduced, but none of which has at
tained the celebrity of the Mercer, which
was almost universally planted for nearly
half a century, owing to its superior ed
ible qualities and productiveness. It may
q a long time before any one variety of
this valuable esculent to man will attain
the prominence of the noble Mercer,
which although having had ita day, is
still the favorite with a large number of
people.
Do fowlH like Peppers.
A gentleman who recently spent some
time in Spanish Honduras, whero capsi
cum or the red pepper grows as a peren
nial, forming quite high bushes, says
that he often saw from the window tho
ordinary barnyard fowls fly up into the
growiug pepper plants and strip them of
loliage and seed pods, eating them with
avidity. The fowl there 'seemed exceed
ingly 'healthy and prolific layers. Is it
not probable that more capsicum fed to
our chickens would be to their benefit.
JftgyCttACKED Disiiks. There is
troublcol'ten attendant upon badly cracked
dishes ; such dishes absorb oils or fats
from the different kinds of food placod
iipnn lliem. These fats soon decompose
in the pores of the dish, and no amount
of cleansing can remove the nauseating
and poisonous deposit. Such dishes arc
filthy and unfit for use. The peculiarly
unpleasant taste sometimes noticed in pie
crust is caused by the pics being baked
upon old, cracked dishes, from which the
rancid fat from previous baking has been
absorbed.
JSfiiy Certain timbers of great durabili
ty when framed together, act upon each
other so as !o produce mutual destruction.
.Experiments with cypress and walnut,
and cypress and cedar, prove that they
will rot each other while joined together,
but on separation the rot will cease, and
the timbers will remain perfectly sound
for a long period.

THE KIDNEYS.
rpitE Kidneys a re two In nnniher, situated at
I the ujipcr part of the loin, surrounded by
fat, and coneistim; of three parts, viz : the An
terior, the Interior and the Exterior.
The Anterior absorbs. Interior consists of
tissues or veins, which serve ns a deposit for
the urine and convey it to the Exterior. Tho
Exterior Is it conductor also, terniinnting in a
single tube, and called the Ureter. The Ureters
arc connected with the bladder.
The bladder is composed of various cover
ings or tissues, dhhled into units, viz. i the
Upper, the Lower, the Nervous, and the Mucous.
The upper expels, tho lower retains. Many
li live a desire to urinate without the ability;
others urinate without the nbllity to retain.
This frequently occurs in children.
To cure these ntl'eetinns, we must bring Into
action the muscle.-, which arc engaged in their
various functions. If they are neglected, Gravel
or l)niy may ensue.
The reader must also be made nwnre, that
however slight limy be (he attack, It is sure to
n licet the bodily health and mental powers, as
our flesh and blood are supported from these
sources.
Oot T, on Rur.t MATisM. Pain occurring In
the loins arc indicative of the above, diseases.
They occur in peri-oiis disposed to acid stomach
and ehalkv concretions.
Tiif. Guavi'I,. The gravel ensues from neg
lect or improper treatment of the. kidneys.
I hose organs being weak, the water is not ex
pelled from the bladder, but allowed to remain ;
it become feverish, and sediment foims. It is
from this deposit that the stone iB formed and
gravel entiles.
DiiorsY is n collection of water In somcpart
of the body, and beais different names, accord
ing to the parts ali'eeted, viz.: when general
ly diffused over the body, it is called Anasarca ;
when of the abdomen, Ascites; when of the
chest, ilydrothorax.
TiinATMHNT. Itclmholds highly ennccntra
cd compound Ext rait liuclm is decidedly on
of the best remedies for diseases ol the blad
der, kidneys, bladder, dropsical swellings,
rheumatism and gouty a flections. Under this
head we have arranged Dysuria, or ditlieulty
and pain In passing water, Scanty Secretion, or
small and frequent discharges of water ; Stran
gury, or stopping of water ; Hematuria, or
bloody urine; Gout and Rheumatism of the
kidneys, without any change in quantity, but
increase in color, or dark water, it wys al
ways highly recommend by the late Dr. Phys
ick, ill these allcctions.
This medicine increases the power of diges
tion, end excites the absoi bents into healthy
exercise by which the watery or calcareous de
positions, and all unnatural enlargements, as
well as pain and inllamation, arc reduced, and
it is taken by men, women, and children. Di
rections for use and diet accompany.

II. T. IIei.mooi.I), Druggist :
Dkaii Sih I have been a sufferer, for upward
of twenty jears, with gravel, bladder, and kid
ney affections, during which time I have used
various medicinal preparations, and been under
the treatment of the most eminent Physicians,
experiencing but little relief.
Having seen your preparations extensively
adveitised, I consulted with my family physi
cian in regard to using your I'.xtrai t liuchii.
I did this because I had used all kinds of ad
vertised remedies, and had found them worth
less, and, some quite injurious ; in fact, I de
spaired of ever getting well, and determined t
use no remedies hereafter unless I knew of the
ingredients. It was this that prom) ted me to
use your remedy. As you advertised that it
was composed of buchu, cubehs, and juniper
berries, it occurred to me and my physician as
an excellent combination, and, w ith his advice,
nflcr an cxamini tion of the article, and con
sulting again with the druggist, I concluded to
try it. I commenced its use about eight months
ago, at which time I was confined to my room.
From the first bottle I was astonifhed and grat
ified ut the beneficial ell'ect, and after using it
three weeks, was able to walk out. I felt much
like writing you a full statement of my case at
the time, but thought my improvement might
only be temporary , and therefore concluded to
defer and sec if it would etlect a perfect cure,
knowing then it would be of more value to you,
and more satisfactory to me.
I am now able to report that u cure Is cflcct
ed after using the remedy for live months.
I have not used any now for three months,
and feel ns well in all respects as I ever did.
Your liueliu being devoid of any unpleasant
taste and odor, a nice tonic and invigorator of
the system, I do not mean to be w itliout it
whenever occasion may require its use in such
affections.
