Tntrodccu.o New Varieties.—The
seedsmen and nurserymen are annually
introducing to notice new varieties of
fruits and vegetables, but such work
should not be left entirely in their
hands, as it is the duty of farmers, gar
deners and fruit-growers to experiment
in such matters in order to increase the
hardiness and yield of all plants that
are cultivated for profit. .Perhaps the
reason why the introduction of new va
rieties is not interesting to farmers is
because they consider the matter as
something difficult, which, no doubt, is
true, but rs'as easy to them as it is to
seedsmen. If we consider wheit, for
instance, the work of improvement con
sists of nothing more than the selection
of the plumpest grains from the largest
heads and best stalks, which plan, if
continued for a few years, results in a
variety better adapted to the locality in
which it is grown, and which will yield
more and product a better quality of
gram. Vegetables of all kinds mav be
improved by this method (selecting the
best) but even the growth, shape and
other characteristics may be changed.
The greater number of our varieties ot
fruit comes from seedlings. The apple
is one of the best and hardiest fruits we
have, the numerous varieties all coming
from the one source—the crab apple—
and though each variety is distinct in
habit of growth, shape, sizo and period
of ripening, yet if we plant the seeds of
the best ot them we may not get any
thing resembling that Irom which the
seed was taken. The young trees may
ail produce crab apples, or there may
be among them something superior to
any thing heretofore known. Ol ten over
one thousand trees have been used in a
single experiment, and, among vegeta
bles, a certain seedsman could only find
one good potato from 801)0 plants; but
that particular kind amply rewarded him
for all Uie time and labor that hud been
employ eu in tne task of selection.
Fa'iners are not inclined to try expe-
rimente witn Iruit trees, as time and pa
tience aie required, whue nurseiymen
me particular to taUe advantage of all
oppoitunities; but farmers can, at least
Twin Vegetables, select the most perfect
seeds irom tne best plants. So far as
the small fruits are concerned, hey have
better opportunities, lor it is not re
quired to wait a long time for results.
The siruwbeiry can be grown from seed
but tne majority of the best kinds are
due to onauoe seedlings, which, grow
ing in some unobserved locality, are ac-
ciuentally discovered to be of superior
qualiiy. and receive the proper care and
attention necessary to propagation. As
a single strawberry will produce a large
number of plants irom seed there can
be no possible limit to the improvement
ol th»t berry, the only requisite being
to trim oil tne seeds from the berry,dry
them on paper, or mix with sand, and
sow in a clean place. As soon as the
young plants are large enough set them
out, ana make careful observation ot
the growth and productiveness of the
vine, period ol ripening,size, color,firm
ness, flavor and quality of the berries.
Jnach plant may be different from the
others. All may be worthless but one
and that one may cause a revolution in
strawberries.
As with strawberries so with raspber
ries, blackberries, grapes, or even huck
leberries. Toere is a wide field open
tor the introuuetmn oi a new blackberry
equal to the \\ iisou, for it is fast dete
riorating, ami a ionune awaits the one
who can improve on it, while a grape,
equal to Urn Concur a, and one that will
not jsot, is sure to find lavor. All plants
tlitft leproduce themselves from the
/■ roots, or by cutting 01 tipping, stud
forth plants that fruit precisely the
same as tire parents, but when proeiuced
Irom seed no reliability can be placed
on tne result, us the seed either reverts
to the original slock or becomes the
foundation ot a superior variety.
It is a common fault with many ama
teur gardeners that they attempt to
raise too many kinds of ornamental
plants. They are attracted by tbe
pleasing description in seed catalogues,
and order fillet n or twenty species of
plants wnicn they have never tried be-
lore. They are most alway s sure to be
di-appoiuted in a good part of them
from their lack of time and knowledge
iu mau igiug them. To get the most
eujoymeut from flowers thejr should give
as little anxiety as possible. It is wiser
to learn to cultivate one plant well than
to halt grow a dozen different kinds. Try
only two or three new sorts each y ear,
anu get well acquainted with them betore
trying other sorts.
Ewes will produce larger and better
lambs, says a writer, if they are in good
plump condition at the time oi coupling
If not m fair condition they should be
gaining and kept improving until they
reach the de aal condition; they will
not breed well when loaded with fat.
Tuose having lost their lambs or tailed
to breed are liable to become too fat to
become sure breeders. When this is
thf case the> should be placed on short
pasture so as to reduce their weight.
The use of valuable ewes is sometimes
lost lor a year or two by allowing them
to become filled with fat. Such ewes
are valuable; their inclination to take
on fat readily is a good point, but re
quires guarding that it may not impair
their prolificacy.
Lemon Sherbet.—The best lemofis
come to os from Florida, and the next
in quality from Palermo, m Sicily.
Choose those having a thin, smooth
skin, large and solid, in preference to
thick, rough-skinned ones, which are
almost sure to prove spongy and dry.
Select from those that have never been
nnwrapped, wash them lightly iu cold
water, wipe dry, wrap in clean, soft
paper and keep in a cool, dry place.
This treatment removes any stale flavor
communicated by decaying fruit or the
odor of the box. The best oranges for
this purpose are tnose from Jamaica,
and next the Floridas, Puy them, like
the lemons, in their original wrappers;
wash and repack in like manner.
The materials and proportions for the
syrup are follows:. Three pints lemon
juice, one pint -orange juice and six
pounds granulated sugar, This will
require about three dozen lemons and
half a dozen oranges, all of large size.
With a fine grater rub off the thin yel
low rind of the fruit, but none of tbe
white; the lemons and oranges separ
ately. of coarse. Mix the gratings well
with four times their weight of pulver
ized white sugar and put into bottles,
which keep corked when not in use n
You have two excellent, pure, ever-
ready flavorings for cakes, pies, pud
dings, blanc-manges, ices, and whatever
else you like.
Now pare off the white rind, scraping
it clean down to the palp. Cut the
fruit in half, pick out all the seeds,
squeeze out the juice with a wooden
squeezer and strain it as fins as possible
through a flannel jelly-bag. Measure
it, add to each quart of the mixed juices
three pounds of sugar; stir it until it is
a perfectly clear sirup, pour into wide
mouthed bottles or jars, brimful, and
keep in a dark, cool place until they
are clear and free from specks; careful
ly remove the scum, cover tightly and
keep in a cool cellar er in an ice-chest.
Thus made the sirup will retain its
freshnet-s for any length of time. The
above recipe should yield about four
quarts, or sufficient for sixty glasses of
very rich sherbet. It may be mixed
eitner with ice-water, as a cooling drink,
or with hot water as anight cap. Made
in the large way the last trial by the
writer was as follows: One box lemons,
300 large and fine; 50 oranges; yield,
12 quarts lemon juice; yield, 4 quarts
orange juice; add 48 pounds of sugar;
product, 30 quarts sirup. It is always
welcome and popular at ladies’ Fairs,
especially when served by a pretty ‘-Re
becca at the Well,” in turban and flow
ing robes, witfl a rockery, ferns and a
never-failing bowl of the sherbet at her
side. If you desire to give it an Orien
tal, Arabian Nights’ tiaver, add to each
quart a teaspooufnl of rose water or
orange flower water, to your taste.
All this may seem a needless amount
of labor, but it is amply repaid by the
superior yield and quality of the syrup.
The seeds are bitter, and if an/ are
crushed in the squeezer, or remain
short time in the juice, they impart
their flavor to it. So of the peel; if the
iruit is pressed without removing it the
juice is embittered by it, moreover, it
absorbs a portion of the juice and so
causes waste. Lastly, the oil of the
rind, or zest, tends to cause fermenta
tion in the syrup and prevents its keep
ing. When made for immediate use a
small portion of the zest may be mixed
in, but not when intended for long
keeping.
A pleasant mixed beverage is made
by adding to the sirup an equal portion
of raspberry sherbert, five quarts scar
let raspberries, two quarts wine-vinegar
aud eight pounds granulated sugar
Gently mash the berries, put then into
a porcelain-lined kettle, add the vinegar
and stir three times a day for a week,
keening the kettle well covered mean

cloth. Mix one pound of f! e sugar
witn the seed pulp, work it well and
strain. Put all the syrup together into
the kettle, add the rest of the sugar,
boil and skim till tbe scum no longer
forms, then bottle while still hot, and
seal. It is diluted with cold water and
drunk like the lemon sherbet.
A delicious sauce ior waffles, muffins
and all kinds of hot pancakes is the
lemon butter. One poand pulverized
sugar, one-fourth pound butter, six
yelks of egg- - , well beaten; four whites
of egg, whipped to a stifl froth; three
lemons, the juice; two lemons, the
rind thinly grated. Melt the butter and
rub it with the sugar to a smooth cream.
Mix the whites and yelks with the juice
of the three lemons and the grated rinc
of two of them, and beat to a smooth
paste; then mix the whole, put it into
an enamelled saucepan and boil twenty
minutes, stirring well to prevent scorch
ing. Pour into jelly tumblers aud keep
tightly covered.

KIDNEY-WORT
The Ubq of white-lead paint has long
been known to involve injurious effects.
The only substitute for this material
until recently, has been zinc oxide.
Among the recent inventions in England
is an article for which is claimed free
dom from ail the objections which have
been urged against oxide of aino paint.
The natural sulphide of zinc—blend—-Is
commonly rather translucent, anu vari
ous in color, from a dingy white to a
stone color, shading off to a reddish
brown, sometimes appearing opaque,
with yellow, green or black tinges. The
excellence of the chemically pure white
sulphide, however.induced a lengthened
series of expetiments to accomplish ar
tificially the chemical process of making
zinc snlphide of the purest white, and
with the most satisfactory results. In
vestigations of this zinc sulphide, or
rather oxy-sulphide, show that it has a
highly preservative action in preserving
wood, etc., from decay, and it mutes
with the fibres with which it comes in
contact, forming permanent bodies with
them. The peculiarly small affinity
wltioh zinc has for combining with oar-
bcnic acid prevents to a great extent
the formation of carbonates, and also
arrests the saponifioation of the oil long
before any such reaction with carbonate
of lead can take place.

to keep the mass moist As soon af tne
bones have softened the mass can be
shoveled over and used to cover more

month s supply for household use, as
well as for visitors, and to send to inva

Some of the ways of distinguishing
amber from copal are thus given in La
Nature: “Copal is yellow, of a more
or less deep tint, bnt uniform through
out, and has yellow points like sulphur
on its surface. Amber m a fragment of
12 centimetres in length will show a va
riation of shade. Amber when rubbed
will yield a strong aromatic odor; imi
tations will not. Amber may be bent
after being smeared with tallow and
leated; the imitations will not bend.
Amber may be cut, sawed, rasped or
polished, bnt cannot be cemented or
soldered like copaL The density of
amber is 1.09 to 1.11, that of copal is
1.04.
