How 10 Secure and keep ipples

We extract the following judicious sug-
gestions from an article on Work for the
Month, by the Maine FaJmcr.' The first
requisite in the preservation Of apples IS
to avoid bruisins them The slightest
bruise will induce rotting. 1t is said
that Wm. PclI, the great 0rchardist of
New York, who ships SO many apples to
England, took some Of his apples and
merely indentcd them with his thumb
He marked them, put them in barrels
with the others, and wrote to his Agent
in England to whom they were sent, to
observe what effect this slight pressure
had upon them. 1t turned out that these
apples began to rot in the very spot of
the indentation, and became spoiled in
consequence. Every one who has paid
any attention to the subject, knows that
the decay OF bruised apple commences
in the bruised part. Why should't IT.
The juices of the apple are nicely packed
away by nature along with the flesh or
plup, in little cells nicely lined or cover
ed by delicate membrane which keeps
every thing in its place and preserved for
its time ofmaturing-crush these and you
let everything loose and decay will take
place as in everything else in like circum-
stances
In order, therefore, to preserve apples
as long as possible, it IS absolutely neees-
sarv that there should be no bruises upon

them. They should be picked carefully
from the trees. Nor is this all. They
should be handled carefully after being
picked. Some will pick them from the
trees very carefully, and then handle them
roughly afterwards. They will pour
them from the baskets on to the ground,
or more properly speaking, "slnice" them
out of baskets into the barrels with vi
olence enough to bruise them almost as
badly as if they had dropped naturally
from the treess.
1t is best, if it can conveniently be
done, to place apples, after being picked in
a pile in some shed or large, cool room, and
let them sweat, as it is called. This sweat
ing is nothing more than the emulation
of watery particles through the skim
The apple, in consequence Of this loss,
shrinks little and becomes drier, and
consequently there will be less tendency
to rot They may be wiped dry, and
packed carefully in barrels and headed
up. The barrel should then be kept in
dry, cool place-the drier and cooler you
can keep them and not have them freeze,
the better they keep.

The following is an extract from the
speech Of Mr.. Everett, at the late Barring
dinner in Boston:
From the very nature Of things there
can be no antagonism between capital
and the other interests of society, for it
seeks Of necessity those investments which
promote the public accommodation and
benefit. In a country ike England and
America the owner of capital really reaps
the smallest portion of the advantages
which really flow from its possession; be
is a kind of book-keeper or head clerk to
the business community. He may be
rich as Cresus, but he can neither eat,
drink nor wear more than one mans por-
ton. The houses and warehouses, the
ships and railroads which he builds or
buys, are for the accommodation of others
of the public. remember hearing a
jest made about Mr. Astors property,
which contained, / thought, great deal
Of meaning-of latent, practical philoso-
ply. Some one who was asked whether
he would be willing to take care of Mr.
Astor's property, eight or ten millions
of dollarS-merely for his board and
clothes, "No," was his indignant an
swer: "do you think me fool" "Well,
rejoins the other, "that's all Mr.. Astor
himself gets for taking care of it. Hes
found, and thlt's all. The houses, the
warehouses, the ships, and farms which
he counts by hundreds, and is obliged to
take care of, are all for the accommoda-
ton of others" "But be has million
rent" "Wel, he can do nothing with
this but build more houses, &C., for Others.
He cannot use It himself. He's found
and yon can make nothing else out of it."

4 Castor Oil Epidemic.

On late trip of one Of our NO. steam
ers, she was crowded with German emi-
grants AS might be expected, their ap-
petite for fruit and vegetables, after
long sea voyage, was most yoracious. At
Selma, a short distance below this city,
the boat received some fifteen or twenty
sacks of castor beans, consigned TO Mr..
Blow. The appearance of the bean,
"good to the eye excited the cravings
of the emigrauts. Finally, curiosity and
appetite triumphed; bag was surrepti-
tiously opened, large pan full extracted,
and a huge luncheon of soup prepared
In short time the passengers in the cab
in, and the officers of the boat, were start
led by the report that the cholera, in its
worst form, had broken out on deck
On going below, they found that the cas-
tor oil was doing its work, The bag lay
exposed, and large pot full of this rare
delieacy stcaming hot on the table. The
thing was soon solved, and the captain
had to go into quarantine, because, as he
said, the Dutch didn't "know beans. -
