At the head of every thing ra:?ed in garden?, I think tomatoes wear t!ie crown as an appetizing and health giving diet, whether oaten raw, in soups, or in sauces.'Nothing can lake the place ct the common tomato sauce and all know how to cook it. We should eat less meat and more tomatoes. Don't lorget to can them for winter use. 1 -have known them kept in tin cans cemented with a wax string. Glass , jais ;?re familiar to all. 5>om.e people fail to make them keep, *av thev have had bad luck: but t * * there r.eed be no luck about ii. The man who transplants his fruit trees in the spring and has to water them and beg them to live; but the man wlio transplants iti the fall and puts a mutch of st raw around can just order thorn to live. Air seems to contain all the / germs ol destruction producing fermentation. Wood cannot rot if kept from the air; living thing? ihtivH on air. animal or veneia bit-?they canot live without it; ?-lead thing* ferment and decay in it. Canned fruit must, be heated sufficiently to sterilize whatever air may be in it or about it; and it i> not enough to put it boiling hot in the jars and then put on a cold screw cover contaiuiug cold air in every crevice; for the germs ot fermentation thus enclosed will do their work and not be long about it. Llave the jar covers in boiling water and also dip the rubber* in too. Screw down quickly and keep in a cool place. And don't forget to tighten again while cooling, tor the contents will shrink in cooling, and cold air will find its way through the least crevice, for all know the air is pressed iuto every opening with a constant pressure of 2000 pounds on every loot,of surface. 1 have helped tput up grape juice fresh Irom the press, "unJennented wine". Ju>t cork the bottles, setting ih boiling water after filling with hot grape juice.' and keep in a cool place. We J ^ also let some ol the grape juice start to ferment so as to give it a sharper taste, and heated and bottled it in that state lind that it will keep just as it is put up. 1* o ? ?ro/1 until Anonii/i u. huti if uiivunii^vu iiuwi \/mvii\.m^ ?will get up fermentation. Now Mr. Editor, all this is old and stale to some, but young foil's; are coining on and old things' should be repeated. But the to-J mato diet is not so old. 1 can le-j member when they were not so' common. Some called them love! apples. But with the generations j come new dietaries. You know aj lew generations ago there were no! 'kpearl grists", or "corn bread",J or potatoes, and no tobacco to: chew or to smoke, only among the j Indians. So now it tlie beef! trusts succeed in making our diet J more vegetarian, it may prove; conducive to long lite. Nov, a word about nature's! canning. Many of your readers j have seen the rush-like plant j that has developed in the dilehes: j that carry the water lroin many j of the flowing wells in our county, j Some call them cat tails, not that it is a new plant, for there are ^cres of. theip in the marches on [the coast. Bnt it is new to see them growing in the up land ditches. They are seen now in j the ditch fropi the well at Pros-! pect, and the McDaniel well, audi the Jarvo Prosser well in Lakoj township; aho at Ilinson and at | J. C. Lvnch's well ditches, asj well as at other artesian wells. A small stem runs tip about 5 feet.1 j i! on me lop 01 wmcn is a seen; head somewhat like a brown corn cob; each tiny seed has several liltie silk-like filaments attached! and when dried will almost float j in the air. But while green the: head is hard and very compact.; The blades are some S feet long, j f inch wide, and doubled with air (cells bet ween. None of them are [an the swamps around here exjceplafewin Muddy creek near! J Ards X Koads. j Now, Mr. Editor, where did the [seed come from that grow in these [upland ditches? Did they come up 300 leet from below with the i sand and other things? How did! they get down there? Did pre-| j historic earthquakes swallow dovru portions of the forest an<lj swamps and perfectly can up, these seeds before Father Adam's! I time? no air could penetrate the j J impervious strata from above, and j ! if it is true as claimed bv rice i 'planters, that rice will lie in the! mud at the bottom of a canal for 10; years and grow when thrown out i jift cleaning tin* canal, then how | much more perfectly canned up! would be these little seeds 300 feet below. I have seen it stated that grains of wheat lay 10001 vears in Egyptian mummies and1 sprouled when planted, but always thought that a yankee tale. But, one other species of canning should claim our attention since cattle raising is coming to the lront, to wit; The Silo, where! green leed is cut and pressed into a tall, tight building, and weighted down to exclude the air. Nut that all air is pressed out either, but the mass is compressed sufficiently to prevent any circulation of air'through it; and, as it i al wavsjundergoes a heat that sterilizes the imprisoned air, it will keep all through winter, with the exception of a little on the outside where fresh air gets to it. Sorry to say no Silos, artesian wells and cat-tails obtain in Possum Fork. The budget of new stories, good to tell alter dinner, which Lipincott's Magazine appropriately calls ''Walnuts and Wine,*' i is never allowed to flag in inter- j i est or quality. Month by monjh j they grow better, and in the Sep-' teinber number there is uneorn-j tnon abundance. Lots ol girls get married merely j to gratify their curiosity. , i Final Discharge.
