Tiie Apple Trade. —This branch of agri¬ 
culture seems to be looked upon by farmers 
as unworthy their attention. Will such 
men look at thoso figures. One town in 
Massachusetts raised 14,000 barrels, which 
sold for an avorago of $2, making tho snug 
little sum of $28,000 to a few persons who 
havo learned that such a small business as 
growing and selling apples will produce a 
sure incomo. 
Productions of the Lombard Plum.— 
This vai’iety, otherwise known as Bleecker’s 
lied, although not of the highest flavor, is 
well known for its great productiveness, and 
its especial adaptation to light soils. A cor¬ 
respondent of the Prairie Farmer, who has 
very successfully cultivated it on tho wild 
plum stock, states that one tree, “ which 
had been set four years, was j udged to havo 
five pecks of plums.”

PRESERVING PEACHES. 
The editor of the Providence Journal ap¬ 
pears to bo very fond of preserved peaches. 
He has been making observations in such 
matters, and says : 
“ We are confident of tho thanks of every 
notable housewife for the following receipe 
for preserving peaches, which we obtained 
from the wife of an experienced fruitgrow¬ 
er in this vicinity last autumn, and have ever 
since regretted that wo did not presorvo a 
bushel instead of a peck : 
To twelve pounds of peaches take six 
pounds of clean brown sugar, and one pint 
of best cider vinegar. Simmer the sugar 
and vinegar together, which will make a 
clear syrup. Pour boiling water upon the 
peaches, and remove them in two minutes 
from tho water, and wipe them dry without 
breaking the skin. Put them into the syrup 
and boil gently till the fruit is cooked to tho 
stono. Keep the preserves in jars, which 
must be kept closely covered and in a cool 
place. They should bo inspected occasion¬ 
ally, and if a white mould appears upon the 
surface of the syrup, it must be carefully 
skimmed off, and tho syrup scalded and re¬ 
turned to tho peaches. The peaches tried 
last fall were a seedling variety ripened the 
last of October. They were acid, but pre¬ 
served tho peach flavor in a high degree, 
which was retained by this method of pre¬ 
serving in the most perfect manner. This 
is the most economical, and, to our tasto, 
the very best preserve we know of.” 
Baked Ham. —Most persons boil hams.— 
They are much hotter baked, if baked right. 
Soak for an hour in clean water, and wipe 
dry, and then spread it all over with thin 
batter, and put it in a deep dish with sticks 
under to keep it out of the gravy. When 
it is fully done, take off tho skin and batter 
crusted upon the flesh side, and set it away 
to cool. You will liud it very delicious but 
too rich for dyspeptics. 
Election Cake. —Two pounds of sugar, 
three-quarters of a pound of butter, one 
pint of milk made into a sponge, four eggs, 
two table-spoonfulls of cinnamon, and flour 
enough to make a dough. Set a sponge tho 
evening before with a pint of milk, a gill of 
yeast, a little salt, and flour enough to make 
a thick batter. The next morning stir the 
butter an dsugar together, whisk tho eggs 
add to it with the sponge and other ingre¬ 
dients, and flour enough to form a dough.— 
Knead it, butter your pan. putin the dough, 
let it rise. When it is light, bake it. 
Devonshire Cakes. —Half a pound of 
sugar, a quarter of a pound of butter, four 
eggs, one teaspoonful of grated nutmeg, one 
ounce of caraway seed, and flour enough to 
form a dough. Beat the eggs very light, 
stir the butter and sugar to a cream, and 
mix them together with the nutmeg, carra- 
way seed and flour. Knead the dough, 
roll it rather thin, cut the cakes, butter your 
tins, put them on so as not to touch each 
other. 
Crullers. —Five eggs, three-quarters of 
a pound of sugar, a quarter of a pound of 
butter, one table-spoonful of salseratus, as 
much flour as will form a soft dough. 
Beat the butter and sugar together till it is 
light. Whisk tho eggs, and then stir in tho 
spice and liquor. Beat tho whole very hard, 
add the salseratus, and as much flour as will 
form a soft dough, cut it in strips, twist 
them and drop them in a pot of boiling lard. 
When they are of a light brown they will be 
done. Sift sugar over them when cold.—

Dandelion Coffee. —Gather the roots of 
dandelions in the fall of the year, wash 
them well, taking caro not to rub oft' the 
skin, dry them on boards in the sun, and 
then they will keep for years. When want¬ 
ed for uso, they are cut up in pieces about 
the size of coffee beans, and browned exact¬ 
ly like coffee, and they are then ground and 
used like it. If mixed along with coffee, at 
the rate of two-thirds coffeo to one of dan¬ 
delion root,—a very good and healthy bever¬ 
age is thus made. 
Only prudent men, who use their power 
in moderation and judgment, will succeed 
in the affairs of the world. 
A SELF HEATING SMOOTHING IRON. 
We see by tho journals of tho day, that 
some ingenious man, and a truo friend of 
the ladies withal, has invented a Smoothing 
or Flat-iron, which can bo kept hot whilo in 
use, by a self-heating apparatus constructed 
with the iron. It is represented as larger 
than the common article, having longer and 
higher handles, with a hollow body so con¬ 
structed as to hold a small quantity of ig¬ 
nited charcoal, having damper and fluo suf¬ 
ficient to keep up tho heat and carry off tho 
fume of tho burning coal. Tho supply of 
coal, though small, is said to last one and a 
half to two hours, keeping tho iron all that 
time at an even temperature. 
Tho advantages claimed are, neatness, 
economy and despatch, which it is said aro 
apparent to every one examining tho iron. 
It was patented by Taliaferro, Cummings, 
and Bliss near Marysville, Kentucky, and 
if what it is represented will undoubtedly 
now bo introduced to the public. f 
LOCOMOTIVE FOR PLANK ROADS- 
We see it stated in a number of our ex¬ 
changes that William D. Arnett, of Iowa, 
has made certain improvements in the loco¬ 
motive, by which it is adapted to running on 
plank or Macadamized roads. As far as wo 
can judge, its chief novelty appears to con¬ 
sist in the arrangement of the driving 
wheels, and in connection therewith a rota¬ 
ting platform, which receives its motion 
from tho driving whools, and operates in 
such a manner as, to a considerable extent, 
increase the speed of the locomotive, by in¬ 
creasing tho tractile power of its driving 
wheels, and also so to operate as to prevent 
them from cutting or otherwise injuring the 
road. This locomotive in form resembles 
thoso in common use, having a steam boiler, 
cylinders, and other necessary appendages. 
It has a steering apparatus of novel con¬ 
struction, by which tho pilot can, by tho 
turning of a windless, give any desired di¬ 
rection of tho locomotive in tho shortest 
possible time. Tho design of this locomo¬ 
tive is to draw any suitable number of con¬ 
veniently-constructed vehicles, and to con¬ 
nect with a railroad to roceive passengors or 
freight and convey them to distant towns 
and villages, where it is not only impracti¬ 
cable to construct a railroad, but where 
traveling and business are not sufficient to 
support such. 
The rotating platform may be an improve¬ 
ment over that of David Gordon, which is 
described in a work on elemental locomo¬ 
tion by his son Alexander. Wo think a lo¬ 
comotive engine to draw a number of car¬ 
riages on a plank road a more sensible plan 
than to combine carriage, boiler, and engine 
all in one, but at the same time, it would bo 
easy on any plank road to extend tho sleep¬ 
ers four feet, and lay good prepared oak 
rails on them, and run a locomotive on them; 
this, for cheapness, would be a preferable 
plan to that of running a steam engine on 
the road among farmers’ wagons, droves of 
cattle, &c.— Scientific American. 
New Machine for Paring Apples, &c.— 
We have recently seen a machine for paring 
apples. &c., invented by Wm. Lazello, of 
which Messrs. Smith and Fenwick, 14 Van- 
dam street, New York, are tho assignees, 
which is peculiar in its construction and su- 
porior in its operation. The knife is sta¬ 
tionary, and the fork which Holds the apple 
to it revolves, and has two motions, tho one 
rotary and tho other in a transverse hori¬ 
zontal arc from the heel to tho point of the 
apple; the fork which holds tho apple is 
mounted on a spindlo which receives motion 
by a pinion working on a stationary rack, 
which is part of a circle. Tho machine is 
operated by simply pushing the handle back¬ 
wards and forwards, making tho wheel to 
traverse over the stationary rack, and thus 
move the spindle on which is tho apple fork.

Facts. —If a tallow candle be placed in a 
gun, and be shot at a door, it will go through 
without sustaining any injury, and a musket 
ball fired in the water, will rebound and bo 
flattened a3 if fired against a hard substanco. 
A musket ball may bo fired against a pano 
of glass ; and if the glass bo suspended by a 
thread, it will not even vibrato. Cork if 
sunk 20 feet in the ocean, will not rise again 
on account of the pressure of water. In tho 
Arctic regions, when the thermometer is be¬ 
low zero, persons can converse moro than a 
mile distant. Mr. Jameson asserts that ho 
heard every word of a sermon at the dis¬ 
tance of two miles on a very still day with 
perfect distinctness. 
Oiling Machinery. —None but the very 
best winter-pressed sperm oil should be used 
to machinery in winter. In summer pure 
lard oil will answer. Before being oiled, all 
parts of machinery requiring oil should be 
nicely cleaned. By applying inferior oil, 
the glutinous matter which it contains at¬ 
tracts dust, and on exposure to the action of 
tho air, becomes indurated, invariably wear¬ 
ing away the cogs, journals, screws, &c., to 
which it may have been applied. To this 
cause more than to any other, is the destruc¬ 
tion of agricultural implements and machin¬ 
ery to bo ascribed. 
S. D. Nims, of Palmer, has made an In¬ 
vention for ringing a bell at evory railroad 
crossing when the cars aro within a half a 
mile of it. It consists of a gear, operated 
upon by the flanges of the car wheols, 
which communicates motion to tho boll by 
a wire.
