KEEPING FRUIT. Every one is aware of the imp .rtaDcc of keeping fruit at a! >w temperature, for the purpose cf preventing decay. The following mode of constructing a cellar f r this purpose was described by S. Foster before the Mus carine Farmer's Club. lie fays : ,- I think the best mode of keeping fruit is to pack them very carefully in a barrel as tight as a flour barrel, and keep them as cool as possible, without freezing. List fall ] dug a cellar seven fee' deep, beneath my cellar, ! with a box extending up through the other j cellar, out of the window, for fresh and cold J air. When hard, freezing weather came, I produced frost in this lower cellar, the ther mometer standing but three degrees above freezing, away from fresh air, I then closed up the draught, iD two or three days the thermometer rose four degrees, and through 1 the whole winter it has not varied two de grees from forty degrees not even through the warm thawing weather. Our neighbor, Dr. J as. Weed,has a patent for keeping fruits and sweet potatoes, in a dry cistern which I have no doubt will prove valuable. I took my idea of a deep cellar from Mr. A. .Smalley who kept stra#herries, and they were for sale at some of our winter festivals, a few years ago. BOOKS. —These are becoming tnore and more necessary upon the farm. The more a man know s, the more he needs to know in every calling in life. ' A little learning is a dangerous thing." There has been a great ' mental quickening upon the farm within the past ten years, and multitudes of workers | have got smattering of the science of agricul ture. They have got out of the ruts in which they were comparatively safe, and have ven tured upon experiments. Tiiey need more light to guide tLtm ; and to this end they must read the writings of men farther ad ▼ynted than themselves, and thus avail them salves of their knowledge. The books made by practical farmers, gardeners, and fruit growers, embody the experience of a life time, and aie invaluable to those who"cimc after them. The man who masters this ex perience saves himself from a multitude o' losses, and pnts himself in the way to make large gains. ' Draining for profit" is a book lhat ought to be in every farmer's hands.— Gat the best books on your business, and study them with a view to follow such teach iags as are adapted to your.soil and climate. —American Agricultui ist. WATER-PROOF HARNESS BLACKING.—A correspondent of the FIELD gives the follow ing receipt for harness blacking which he has used for several/years and is pei fictly con vinced of its excellence : "Beeswax (shred fine) eight ounces tur pentine sufficient to cover it let them stand till the wax is dissolved (three or four day.-); ivory black four ounces,"live oi' (f use ncats foot oil)two ounces. Prussian blue two run- H>. rub the ivort hlark and Prussian LIIIP well together to a fine powder, in a mortar, then add the oil arid gradually the other in gredients, and thorough!} - urx them. If it gets hard by her; ing, soften with turpentine 1 have cnlt' one bru-h used—one cr.d fcr blacking, the other for polishing." THE CUKAPELT FOOD. —The cheapest and most nutritious vege able used for food is beans. Professor Licbig says that pork and beans form a compound of substances pecu liarly adapted to furnish all that is necessary to support life. A quart of beans cost say fifteen cents ; half a poond of pork ten cents. This, as every housekeeper knows,will feed a small family for a day with good strengthen ening food. Four quarts of brans and two pounds of corned beef, boiled to rags, in fifty quarts of water, wiil furnish a good meal to forty men at a cost of one dollar— two cents and a half a meal. A CURE FOR EAJIACIIE.— There is scarcely any ache to which children arc subject so hard to bear, aud so d ffirult to cure, as the earache. But I will give you a remedy I never knew to fail : Take a bit of cotton batting, and put upon it a pinch of blaek pepper ; gather it up and tie it, dip into sweet oil, insert in the ear. It will give immediate relief. CHURNING IN WINTER.—TO make milk churn easy in winter gather the cream where it will not freeze, lake it over night into a warm kitchen. Scald the chnrn next morn ing hef re putting in the cream, and it wili seldom take more than an hour to churn it. Should the milk or cream swell, put nearly a quart of hot water iDto it. LEATHER PRESERVATIVE.—IN a pint of best winter strained lard oil, dissolve a piece of parrafiine the siz° of a hickory nut, aiding the solution by a general heat Kub this OD your boots once a month. If the oil should make the boots too st the propor tion of parraffine. Sr. PATRICK'S SOUP. —Take one pound of meat without bones,and cut into small pieces put into a stewpan two ounces of dripping, one ounce of leeks, one ounce of celery, one ounce of carrots, two ounces of turnips, and fry for ten minutes ; then add the meat,with two ounces of salt, half an ounce of sugar,and fry until a thick glaze is produced ; then add one quart of cold water, and half a pound of flour ; then add two ounces of dillisk, well washed and chopped fine, a little mixed spice *nd pepper ; boil three quarters of an hour, and serve. MINCE PI ES wiTFOur APPLES OK MEAT.— Six crackers, one cup of molasses, two cups ot sugar, one half rup < f vinegar, and two cups boiling water, will make three pies. llow sweet to work all day for God. and then lie down at night beneath His smile.
