KEEPING APrLEs.-Mr. Pell, of Ulster eoun-
ty. the celebrated exporter Of Apples to Europe.
recommends that apples affer having been care
fully hand picked in baskets, should be laid on
floor, by hand. without pouring from the bas-
kets. until they are IL or IL inches deep. and be
left TO dry and season three weeks: when again
equally carefully packed in clean dry barrels.
they may be kept without rotfing any reasona-
bic length Of time, and are safely sent TO any
part of Europe or the East Indies The plan
Of drying and seasoning in the air, before bar
reling, prevailed generally some years ago, al
though now-a-daysit is mostly discontinued, and
l thought useless We are disposed 10 think well
Of this process when IL becomes important TO
keep apples safely till the next spring, or to send
70 foreign countries, for We have always Observ-
ed that on opening barrel a few days after b.
| ing put up, in ever so dry weatheS that the
moisture often stands in drops over the whole
surface; and although loose barrels will allow IL
mostly to evaporate, yet where they come In
contact, the two surfaces retain IL and causes
/ a rot.
/ Apples will not freeze until at a temperature
/ Of from FIVE to ten below the freezing point Of
\ water, and II is beneficial 10 keep them as cool
| as possible, even down to 30 degrees Apples
inclosed in a water tight cask may be left in
cold loft or garrett ali winter without further
care. and viii be sound in the spring, and per-
| fectly fresh.

all subjects Of husbandry. They cost but little,
and are within the power Of all. One good days
