PAcKlSo ArrLr N LElvS. A few years
ago, Mr.. J. W. Boynton. OF East Hartford.
while gathering up leaves nndcr an apple
tree, IN the sprng. Observed beneath them
few fresh, unfrosen apples. 1, suggested
a, once that dry leaves would answer we'll
as packing material Tor fruit, and the next
fall aud every season since he has used them
ior thi. purpose. We saw few days ago
some specimens thus preserved, seemingly
as fresh and piquani in flavor as when fr.,
gathered ye, ho assured US they werc varl.
elies that would have dccAycl months ago
II unprotected. His plan Is to pick the ap-
plc- carefully at the proper time, not to
pack them, until the forest leaves are per-
fccily dry and the weather quite cool.
Then the apples and leaves are placed in al.
tcrna,e layers, and the last layer OF leaves
crowded in as close as possible by placing
any convenient weight on the cover Of the
barrel. The leaves are Of such elasticity
that the whole may be compressed - tight

no, bruisc the apples In the slghte', de-.
gree. In this latitude Mr.. Boynton has
never found j, necessary to keep these bar.

open shed. 1, would BE- advisable Of course
everywhere, to keep ;hsm in As cool place
as possible. 10 the spring they are ts Be
removed to cool, airy cellar, or 10 an
apartment especially Tor fruit, in connee-
ton with the ice-housc'. Homestead.
