So everywhere long as of ferments present fruits are and in the alive and growing in a healthy state they are mostly proof against decomposing agents, but as soon as they lose their vi- tality through changed conditions, with but few exceptions they soon and easily spoil. When.preserved fruit is put into cans or bottles hot and perfectly sealed while in that condition, the germs of de‘cay resent in the fruit-and can are killed by the heat, and the sealing excludes the germs on the outside from coming” into contact with the fruit. The Improved Douglas Mixture. Mr. Douglas, the inventor of the Douglas mixture, gives in Poultry Yard the following formula, which he considers an improvement upon the famous mixture: Two ounces sulphate of iron, half ounce diluted sulphuric acid, put in @ jug, stirred with a piece of wood, after which hot water is added to dissolve, the whole being stirred until dissolved; when - cold put intoa quart bottle or jug and fill up with water.

Three years experience in storing corn in a fight crib or granary proves this: If the corn, when hvisked, be fairly dry, it will do to put it in a tight building, pro- vided the weather be dry during the fall and the winter be a steady, cold one, followed by a drought the next season, But if the following season be wet, the corn will not keep well. No more tight corn cribs for us.—Prririe An Unpatented Farmer. Bee and “‘open to all” farm- ers bee hive.

Hogs to Be Slaughtered. -1f the hogs to be slaughtered are fed within twelve hours oftheir killing the food is wasted, the meat will be more disposed to sour, and it will be more difficult to remove the distended intestines and take from them the lard.
