To PRESERVE FRUIT in TRANSIT. The use of charred bran for preserving delicate fruit while on the road to market, it is stated, bids fair to solve the problem which has long perplexed millers. Converted into charcoal, the light and slippery product of the mill ceases to be unmanageable ; and it is not unlikely that a demand for charred bran will arise in the vicinity of most mills, for packing not only quickly perishable fruits like peaches, plums, and grapes, but also apples and other firmer fruits for storage as well as for transportation.—Canterbury Times.
