Worth Remkmbebikg. — We have been informed, by 

 a gentleman wlio has had practical proof of ils success, 

 of a new mode of keeping fruits fresh for the table, .is 

 grapes, plums, &c., a long time after they have been 

 gathered. It is simply to alternate them in layers with 

 cotton batting, in clean stone jars, and to place them in 

 a chamber secure from frost. A servant in tlie family 

 of William Morey, Union Village, Washington County, 

 about to visit her friends, secured a quantity of plums 

 in this way, to preserve them until her return. They 

 were found to have kept in excellent condition, long 

 after the fruit had disappeared in the garden. From the 

 hint thus afforded, Mr Mnrey, ftlr Holmes, and one or 

 two neighbors, laid down gr.ipes in this manner last 

 fall, and they enjoyed the luxury of fresh, fine fruit 

 through the winter, until the early part of March.— 

 Cultmiitor. 



The Bee Moth.— The cultivation of the Honey Bee 

 has of late years, in this quarter, been attended with 

 great loss, in consequence of the attack of the miller or 

 moth. I have noticed that when the wiens nest imme- 

 diately in the vicinity, that they feed upon the moth, 

 and frequently upon the miller, and will seek no other 

 food for themselves and their brood, so long as they can 

 find sustenance from that quarter ; and they will nest 

 near by, if there is a small box made for thein to nest 

 in, with a door so that they can enter, and raised up 

 some 6 or 10 feet high, or the skeleton of a horse's head 

 raifed up the same distance. — Gen. Farmer.
