Sweating Apples.

awe have labored hard In years past to
dsabuse the public mind in regard to the
sweating Of apples. We do not believe
in anything of the kind. We have not
seen it Oh our own apples for twelve
years past, simply because we have put
them into the cellar at the close of
warm day in October, when. the apples
were warmer than the cellar. Put them
in the cellar in November, when the apples
are colder than the cellar, aud they will
condensc the warmer moisture ofthe room
upon them. If you doubt it try two bar
rels, one in a warm day in October, the
other on cold day in November, and you
will be convinced"
We have clipped the for going para
graph from the Maine Farmer, with
feelings of satisfaction 10 think that we
have met with 0ae man in America who
has a correct idea about sweating apples,
other fruit, and vegetables.
We have read recommendations in ag
icultural journals, for more than twenty,
years past, TO put fruit in certain places
or dispose OF it in some specified way, $50
that it would sweat as if the sweating
process were absolutely essential to its
preservation. And the same thing has
been republished and reiterated in our ag.
ricuItural papers, until many sensible peo-
pie think there is some hocus.pocus about
it that they were never able to compre-
hend. The idea is absurd that all fruit,
vegetables, and hay also, must be put
through Saoea>sag process, before it is in
condition to keep well. None of the ar
ticles alluded to need sweating any more
than herbs for medicinal purposes, or
grain after il is thresbed

CARE OF CATTLE, SHEEP AND Hoes -
Kill, sell or give away all kinds of live
stock that you have rot the means or the

KITCHEN GARDEN-As long as the
ground can be worked, there is something
which the gardener can do Tor the benef:
of future crops. Manuring and plowiug,
or trenching, is all the better done now,
and drains may be laid. Stiff soils thrown
into ridges will be much amcliorated by
the irosts Of winter. Make surface drains
to carry water away from crops left out
over winter. All refuse should be secur.
cd to add to the manure heap. Weeds
that have gone to seed, are to be dried and
burned.

BOILED PoTAToEs FOR MILcu Cows.
A successful farmer Informs US that he

boiled potatoes day, and that they were
worth half Il dollar bushel for this pur-

He says that he could see no benefit
whatever from giving them old potatoes in
a raw state. There is period from the
first Of July TO the first Of August when
COWS need some additional food, aud if
boiled potatoes will help them hold out
