P,estfraiio o. lppigs,--lhe following obser-
vatlons contained III letter from Noah Webster
Esq have bern published in the Massachusetts
Agricultural Repository:
~ tits the practice with some persons to pick
apples IN October, and srst spread them on the
floor Of an upper room. This practice is said TO
render apple, more durable by driving them. -
But | can affirm this to be a mistake. Apples
after remaining 50 long on the trees as safety
from frost will admit should be taken directly
from the trees to close casks, and kept as dry as
possible. ltSplred to lie ON the floor for weeks,
they withcr and lose their favour, without ac-
curing any additional durability, The best
mode OF preserving apples fol- spring use, have
found TO be- the putting them INTO dry sand as
soon rs picked. For this purpose | dry sand in
the heat of The summer aud late in October put
down the apples in layers, with a co, ering OF
sand upon each layer, Inc singular adyanta-
geS of this mode OF treatment are these: |. The
sand keeps the apples from the air, which is es-
Sential to their preservation ,, the sand checks
the evaporation of the apples, and thus pre-
serves their full havour-at the same time
any moisture Welded by the apples, land some
there Will be- is absorbed by the sand so that
apples are kept dry and all the mustlness is pre-
vented. My pppins in May aud June are as
fresh as when picked even the ends of the
stem look as ii jnst separated from the twg."
