PRESERVING FRUIT. 
Though deservedly great attention has been 
paid to the propagation of the choicest fruits, 
another and perhaps equally Important, and one ^ 
intimately connected with profitable fruit culture bu , 
has been somewhat neglected. We allude to ^ 
the preservation of fruits. Many of our most ^ 
delicious fruits decay rapidly after maturity, and tfe 
hence must be marketed as soon as gathered, uo _, 
matter what may be the condition of the market. 
Hence they are often sold at prices scarcely re- ^ 
munerative, while if preserved only a lew days, 
until the “glut” was over, the proceeds would Qo 
he highly satisfactory. We have watched with j. 
Interest every experiment in this direction, sat- 
isfied that sooner or later the desired result . 
couldjbe obtained, Mr. Nice of Indiana, has 
been one of the most perseveriug and successful j. 
experimenters, on this subject, and it Is with 
pleasure we give our readers the following re- 
port of his operations, from the Tietfflh Il*port ^ 
of the Ohio Ibmological Society ; 
In the D-nth report of this Society (lSti'3,) p. 29, ^ 
is a briet description of a plan for the construe- 
tion of houses for the preservation of fruits, the 
invention of Mr. Nvce, then a resident of Indiana, 
( )[ 
8ince that time Mr. N., in connection with 
other gentlemen, has erected alarge house of the ni 
kind in Indianapolis, and also one in Cleveland, 1 
and, it is said, will shortly erect still larger ones 
in Cincinnati and Now York, the plan having u 
been found perfectly successful where tried, and 1 
hence likely to be speedily adopted iu all tbe 
large cities. 
An idea of the plan and construction of these fei 
houses may be obtained from the following de- se 
scription of the one in Cleveland, which has been 00 
visited by most of the members of the com- ca 
mittec ad interim of this Society. 
The fruit bouse Is located on Kinsman street, CL 
about a mile from the park or public square. It n 
was erected a little over one year ago, by Messrs. al 
Nycc, Shirk 0* Co., and recently (1805) purchas- ol 
ed by Messrs. Beckwith & Brockway. 
The bnildiug is constructed of wood and iron, us 
is about 80 feet in length and 40 feet in width, 
two stories high, divided into several compart- tc 
rnents. The upper story contains ice, put in al 
every winter, in depth live to six feet. This is sep- m 
arated from the fruit room below by a floor of gal- sc 
vanized iron, tbe sheets of which are riveted P f 
and soldered, so as to be perfectly water tight a ' 
The walls are made of two casings of sheet iron, 
3}£ feet apart. The edges of these Bbeets are P' 
painted and closely nailed to upright studding, P 
the intervening space being tilled with chaff, ® 
sawdust, or short shavings, or other non-con- l | 
ducting substances. The floor of the fruit room 
is also made of galvanized iron. Below this are " 
placed shavings, three feet thick, on a coating a 
of tar and pitch, spread one inch thick upon the ^ 
ground, to prevent the entrance of moisture. 
One or more wind-wheels are placed above the r 
roof, geared to fans in the fruit rooms. ()u the ^ 
floor of the fruit room was spread formerly, In its 6 
dry state, the chloride of calcium, a substance 
which has great power of absorbing moisture; t 
but now the waste “ bittern,” from salt works 0 
(absolutely costless, excepting freight,) after be- ^ 
ing dried, is found to be equally as efficient as * 
the former chloride. f 
The elements ol' a complete preserving atrnos- v 
phere are, eolduess, dryness, purity, quality of * 
temperature, at all times, and in every part, ab- 1 
sence of light, and, if possible, the exclusion of ' 
the great agent of decomposition, the oxygen of 1 
the air. This plau secures all thesu elements in ' 
great perfection. The thermometer shows a 1 
uniform temperature of 84° in all parts of the 1 
room, and is found not to vary a single degree 
from 34° even from April to October. ( 
Dryness is its leading patentable feature. Ya- ( 
por is constantly given off from different kinds * 
of fruit, amounting usually to at least half a gal- ' 
Ion of water from one hundred bushels per week. 1 
Tills vapor Is taken up by the absorbent, which 1 
is spread over the floor of the fruit room. It is 
made to run out in tubes to the outside, once In 
about every month. It is then dried In large 
pans, of sheet iron, and returned to the house lu 
the dried state as before. The same substance 
is thus used twenty or thirty times. The air in 
a room so completely eonflued, after the fruit is 
chilled down 10 84°, becomes very still. The 
fans arc needed to give circulation to the air, and 
bring the moisture arising from the fruit iu con¬ 
tact with the absorbent, to bo taken up by it. 
The air is pure, because every source of im¬ 
purity is excluded. 
Iu the gradual ripening of fruit, hydrogen and 
carbou are constantly given off; the former 
unites with the oxygen of the air, and forms 
water; the latter, carbonic acid. 
Tills process In any conflned vessel tilled with 
fruit consumes all the oxygen, especially if the 
fruit be ripe, and tbe air warm, in about 48 hours. 
The rooms ol' this house are gas tight, and when 
tilled with fruit, if closed up for two days, a 
candle goes out iu them almost instautly. 
The fruit is theu surrounded by an atmosphere 
composed of the nitrogen ol the air and carbonic 
acid. Tbe former is destitute of all active prop¬ 
erties, good or bad. The latter is not sufficient¬ 
ly arid, unless under heavy pressure, to produce 
any action on fruits Immersed Into it. Hydro¬ 
gen and carbon theu cease to bo evolved from 
the fruit, as there is now no agent to unite with 
i them, iu the same way that they cease to bo 
£ evolved from a burning candle wheu the air Is 
$1 removed. Decomposition ceases in both cases, 
^ and lor the same reason. The principle is thus 
3A stated by Liebig“ Decay is much retarded in 
the absence of moisture, and by the substance 
ri, being surrounded by au atmosphere of earbouic 
E7 arid, which prevents the air from coming in con- 
jtj tact with decaying matter.” 
EH The sources of profit are pears and grapes, 
kept during the fall and winter months; apples 
until the month of May, June and July; lemons, 
oranges, pine-apples, through the summer sea¬ 
son ; canned fruit, put up in 6lx or ten gallon 
cans, and retailed out by the measure; the fruit . 
when taken from the cans, which are used buc- c 
ceseively tor a number of years, is kept fresh in * 
tbe house in the open vessel for a number of I 
weeks. Hence this fruit may be sold by measure 1 
without loss in the summer months. Oysters, [ 
butter and eggs are also sources of profit. 
All fruit should be iu the house when tree- ‘ 
ripe: that is, as soon as It lias all the virtue the 1 
tree or the vine can impart to it. Liebig says; 
—“Rub an unripe or green apple or pear on a 
grater to a pulp; wash this with cold water on 
a line sieve,—the tnrbid liquor which passes 
through deposits a fine flour or starch, of which 
not even a trace can he detected in the ripe 
fruit. This after-ripening, as it is called, is 
purely a chemical process. It is the starch be¬ 
ing t ransformed into sugar; the more starch the 
uuripe fruit contains, the sweeter does it become 
when ripe.” 
Although, after the saccharine change, puri lica- 
tion may go ou slowly at 154°, yet starch is much 
more slowly converted into 6ugar at that tem¬ 
perature. In strict accordance with this princi¬ 
ple, it is found that the most tender fruits, if not 
put in immediately when made, keep better than 
the more hardy sorts, if not put iu till full ripe. 
One bushel of apples, if fully ripe, throws off 
more hydrogen, and forms more water, than 
three bushels, if put in in the proper season. 
It is believed and claimed by the patentee and 
all the scientific gentlemen who have examined 
the subject, that there are but two known modes, 
for p metical use, of drying air; and, as we have 
already stated, dryness is the leading patentable 
feature of thi& house, and the ni/ie quanxm of pre¬ 
serving fruit In full health and flavor. One mode 
consists iu throwing the air upon ice, or an ice- 
cold surface; the other, i a forcing it unon absorb¬ 
ents. The principle experiments hitherto have 
concerned the former method, which is a very 
imperfect and unsatisfactory one. For by it the 
air gives up only so much vapor as is in excess 
of its capacity at 32°. It is still as wet as It can 
be at this icc-cold temperature. The absorbents 
used in Nvce's fruit rooms condense vapor free¬ 
ly from the driest air, even when chilled down 
to zero, or below it. His fruit house, without 
absorbents, presents one of the best arrange¬ 
ments to dry air by the first method, as it pre¬ 
sents the largest Ice-cold surface on its upper 
part, the place to which the vapor from the fruit, 
always somewhat heated by the chemical change 
that produces it, immediately ascends. But ex¬ 
perience has clearly shown in this house that 
present results could not be reached by this 
method alone, and it would 6eem, and it is posi¬ 
tively claimed, that the plan adopted In the 
Kinsman street fruit house is the only one which 
will at once insure a dryness sufficiently uniform 
and perfect and a constantly equable and ade¬ 
quate degree of coldness. 
But people are impatient of theories, and crave 
results. They wish to know, first of all, how 
the fruit has kept, and if the experiment is a 
success, and if the institution “ pays.” 
To these Inquiries very hopeful and satisfac¬ 
tory answers can be given. Not more than three 
or four apples iu a buudred, on an average, have 
decayed thus far in these rooms (15th May.) 
And there is this peculiarity in the decay of the 
fruit: When a decayed apple is found, it is uni¬ 
versally found totally decayed, and surrounded 
by fruit not at all tainted by Us rot, proving that 
the defect was already In the apple at the time it 
- was put into the house. The patentee is posi- 
f tive that If an apple has & sound skin at the time 
it is housed, he can preserve it in full health and 
flavor, by means of the agents, dryness and cold- 
, ness, although it very rarely occurs that fruit, 
j apparently sound, has an internal power of de¬ 
cay, over which science has as yet attained no 
control. But If an apple can bo plucked from 
the tree at the time it has sucked all the virtue 
GBAPES,-“ PRUNE BUT LITTLE.” 
D. D. T. Moore, Esq — Dear Sir: In order to 
please some friends, I wrote a note on Grape 
culture, which was published in the Rural of 
Oct. 20th, iu which I used the expression “to 
pruno but little.” I will explain so that if any 
utc disposed to practice upon my theory they 
may not be led into error—as to my meaning — 
in tbe outset. For instance, Instead of admin¬ 
istering a succession ot shockB to the young vine, 
first transplanted, in cutting back three or four 
times and then “ cutting off short,” I would pur¬ 
sue a simpler and more natural course. 
When transplanting a young vine I would 
trim so that of the after growth I would have 
two permanent canes, off which 1 would trim all 
laterals, but never interfere with the ends of the 
canes. When the vines became strong enough 
I would permit two other canes to grow low 
down out of the first canes,—and trim them as I 
had the first two, not interfering with their ex- 
tention growth. These four canes may easily 
be arranged on a trellis, a stake with arms or an 
arbor;—and if the directions with reference to 
planting without strongly stimulating, acrid 
manures be attended to, the necessity for build¬ 
ing very large arbors or high trellises will not be 
great. 
I am satisfied that a healthy vine, manured as 
directed, and pruned as above, will produce fruit 
of line quality. Old vines, or any which have 
been planted with stroDg stimulants, of course 
cannot be treated this way, and any which make 
a very great growth had perhaps better be plant¬ 
ed on large arborslil once. Dead wood should 
be removed, and Also all suckers which may 
have been overlooBd, In February; but suckers 
should be rerno^R whenever they appear by 
breaking out—notlcutting—and from the 20th 
July to first August this process should cease, at 
which time the foltoge of the vine will be suffi¬ 
ciently opeu to admit air and sun. The fruit 
should never be exposed to tbe direct rays of 
the sun. P. M. Goodwin.

tempted to fill this vacancy by drinkmg alcohol¬ 
ic liquors. One of the beet things we can do, 
therefore, while we urge the positive influence 
of temperance principles, and tbe prevention of 
an Intemperate appetite by abstaining entire¬ 
ly from the sipping of liquor, we may endeavor, 
by tbe extended culture of fruit in all its kinds 
—so as to extend the circle of supply through- 1 
out the year—to assist this benevolent exertion 
by lessoning or taking away the temptation to 
supply its deficiency as above stated.— Ex, 
Grapes In Maine.— Tbe present season, as 
well as tbe last year, has been excellent for 
ripening grapes in Maine. The Clinton, Isa¬ 
bella, Sweetwater and Diana, as well as the 
native grapes of our low lands, are well ripened. 
This will encourage others to pay more atten¬ 
tion to their cultivation in this State. They 
are a luxury for which there is no real substi¬ 
tute. Nothing looks better in our eye than an 
arbor covered with grape vines with tempting 
clusters of fruit hanging down. It makes ua 
somehow, yet we hardly know why, think of 
Eden. — Maine Farmer. 
Largest Vineyard in the World.— It is 
said that the Buena Vista Vineyard, in Sonoma 
County, California, is the largest in the world. 
It consists of 6,000 acres, with 272,000 vines 
planted previous to 1865, and 700,000 planted or 
to be planted tbis year. Last year tbe yield was 
42,000 gallons of still wine, 60,000 bottles ot 
sparkling wine, and 12,000 gallons brandy. One 
hundred men are constantly employed, and 
double that number during tbe vintage. There 
are 8,000 fruit trees, and large varieties of grapes. 
Dahlias. — Keep well tied up and see that all 
are properly labelled, while they are yet in flow¬ 
er and can be identified. It often happens that 
we have a week or more of fine weather after 
the first frost, and if one takes the trouble to 
protect the plants from the first frosts by some 
light covering, the time of blooming may be 
much prolonged. When the tops are killed, 
allow the plants to remain a week or more in 
the gronnd to ripen. 
pack them closely in an earthen jar, ponr the ft t 
from frying over them, and put a weight on them 
to keep them down until cold, then remove the 
weight, and cover the top over with lard. Keep 
them in a cool, dry place.

onions of a good shape, small and round, peel 
them and throw them into salt and water. Let 
them remain there a few days; drain them, pnt

The vast numbers of these caterpillars in 
many parts of the country admonish orchardists 
to destroy them before, they make such pro¬ 
gress again as they have the present year. Some 
apple trees have been entirely stripped of leaves, 
not only rendering a crop impossible, but check¬ 
ing the growth of the tree at the most impor¬ 
tant period of the year, and rendering it liable 
to injury by winter, and retarding its vigor in 
future. It is not too late now to commence the 
destruction of the eggs, which have been recently 
placed upon the young twigs. As they are 
usually on the projecting shoots, near the out¬ 
side of the treo, the practiced eye will quickly 
detect their presence, and asinglu clip of a palrof 
orchard shears, placed on the end ol a pole, and 
worked with a cord, will bring them to the 
ground. This is much easier than the more 
laborious ami r&oro uncertain process of brush¬ 
ing, swabbing, winding, thrashing, pounding 
and crushing, alter the caterpillars arc half or 
wholly growu, for no individual escapes when 
the little ring of egga is taken off entire, in the 
autumn, alter the leaves have fallen, pass around 
again and clip out the remainder. By going 
through the orchard at least two or three times, 
there is less chance for any accidental hidden 
rings to escape. A cloudy day should be se¬ 
lected, so that the lignt may not dazzle or injure 
the eye; and after some practice, it is surprising 
with what quickness any «ne may detect these 
rings on the twigs, by a glance over the apple ! 
tree. Cherry, pear aud other trees should be 
examined in the same way. 
A careful attention to these instructions any 
time before the coming spring will completely 
clear orehands of this pest, and the owner will 
have the satisfaction, as he passes the trees, of

The following certificate, dated March 20th, i 
1865, w as signed by a large number of prominent 
citizens of Cleveland, and published : 
“ The undersigned, citizens of Cleveland, Ohio, 
testify that the fruit house erected here by 
Jsyee, Shirk Co., has supplied, at reasonable 
rates during the last winter, Catawba grapes in 
sufficient quantity to meet the demands of our 
citizens. That these grapes are to this day as 
fresh, plump, nud perfect iu llnvor as when taken 
from the vine. The bloom is yet on them, aud 
many of the stems are as green as they ever 
were. We cannot doubt but that they will yet 
be kept in complete condition for months to 
come. Our more tender varieties of fall apples, 
some of which have been out of market lor 
months, are firm, crisp and juicy. They have 
uow on hand about 5,000 bushels, embracing 
the leading varieties of our climate, which some 
of ns have seen to be in the best condition, and 
from which we expect to be supplied during 
May, Juue, and July next. Wo look upon this 
improvement as a great benefit, as well as an 
honor to our city. It is beyond quostlou, a suc¬ 
cess ; and must soon, we think, rank among the 
prominent improvements of this age, and to the 
country at large.”

of the most handsome applies in cultivation, and 
on that account commands a ready sale { while 
Us excellence, both for eating and cooking, 
makes it a universal favorite. Beside all this, 
the tree is one of the most hardy kinds known, 
growB very straight and stout, and bears enor¬ 
mous crops ot fruit. The Toronto market has 
never yet been half supplied with them, and it is 
in vain that fruit dealers inquire for them 
through the Niagara district, for tliis variety is 
not always perfect in that famous fruit region. 
Here is a good investment for some one having 
strong, well-drained soil in the vicinity of 
Torouto, for the tree begins to bear fruit so 
youug that it does not often attain a great size, 
and a ten acre orchard, planted twenty feet apart 
ehch way, would contain 1,080 trees, which in 
five or six years would yield the owner a very 
handsome revenue. — Con Mia Farmer.
