KeepinE Apples.

Apractical man relates his experience
as follows: In the fall Of 1868 had a
great many apples, mostly Rambows,
and thought 1 would try an expert
ment with them, SO 1 buried part of
them the same as farmers generally bury
their potatoes, by piling them up in q
nice cone shaped pile and covering
them first, with plenty ofgood dry straw,
and then with dirt sufficient to keep the
frost out. They kept pretty we'll. /
put another lot in box with chaff, first
q layer of chaff, and then layer Of ap-
ples, until the box was full. They heat
ed, and nearly all took the bitter rot,
and were worthless. 1put another lot
in the screenings of wheat, mostly chess,
in barrels. Il don't raise quite so much
chess now as then.) These kept pretty
well, but wilted very much, which is a
very great injury to the taste of them.
Another lot Iput upin barrels, in leaves
from the woods, layer of leaves, then
layer of apples, until the barrel or box
was full These kept the best and re-
tanned their taste the best of any. l
had some of those Rambows until the
last of April, as sound and nice as wheu
put up, and 1 had them in an old log
house loft the whole winter, and not a
very tight loft either. If they freeze
the leaves draw the frost out again, but
care should be taken to keep plenty of
leaves between the apples and the bar
rel or box. have been keeping my ap-
pies in the last named way ever since,
and have had no trouble about freezing.
believe they could be kept in barrels
put up in this way, and lay in the or
chard all winter, and come out al right
in the spring. si.,zs - z 4

furious effect upon the interest of these
companies, and excited just indigna-
tion samOng the stockholders. They
would not encourage further outlay of
their money when rights already grant
ed to them were so seriously interfered
with, and ia such manner. Capitalists
objected to large investments where
their interests were so unceremoniously
trifed with by the Legislature of the
State" -
What influences were brought to bear
upon the members to secure such hasty
legislation, / know not; but it is very
certain it has had a very depressing
effect upon all internal improvements
in West Virginia, and especially upon
the success, thus, far, of this particular
enterprise. 1t strikes me that the MEM
bers of the Legislature of 1866 did not
take much time, if any, to consider the
subject, or they would not have voted
as they did upon the subject. Here was
company fnlly organized, stock enough
subscribed to begin the work auspicious-
ly, and abundant capital to invest, and
pledged, but now held back on account
of the rider upon the charters to these
companies, in the shape of the uncon-
stitutional bill raising the commission
to dispose of these State improvements
again!
But it is not this particular enterprise
alone that is affected; no enterprise
calling for capital from other States can
be initiated in this State, with the dan
ger of such legislation before them,
with any sort of show of success. We
have strong hopes that our next Legis-
lature will have more consideration for
the public welfare. Yours, NAT.

From the Richmond Wing, Nov. Ill
The South and its Conservation

The Wheeling Intelligenoer compares
the Southern people to the Bourbons, OF
whom the great Napoleon said: "They
learned nothing and forgot nothing"
The Intelligemcer thinks We are incapa-
BILE of discerning our true interests, and
that we allow ourselves to be governed
by "rebellious egotism and conceit,"
which naturally "begets resentment
in the feelings of the Northern people
because it evinces that same old impla-
cable contempt for them that contribut-
ed so largely in 1860 to sectionalize the
North.n The Intelligencer is pleased to
nav its respects to us in this connection,
and while it acquits the Wing
of being "one of the extreme
papers of the South" it alleges
that ats editorials are nearly always
Objectionable because of that constant
air of pretension and egotism in respect
to all things Virginian and Southern"
The differences between the Wheeling
Intelligeacer and the Wing are so radical
that we can hardly expect that paper to
approye our editorials. There is one,
and but one characteristic common to
us. We are both of Southern nativity.
This fact ace have not forgotten-but it
appears to have escaped the memory Of
our Wheeling contemporary. Its pre-
possessions, its wishes, its affections
are all with the North. 1t does not like
even to hear Southern journal speak
kindly of the South. Its sensibilities
are wounded thereby, and its Gre
sentiment" is excited. The Intelligen-
Ger belongs to West Virginia, and
West Virginia abandoned old Vir-
gia, the mother who bore her, and from
whom she "drew suck" She also aban-
doned the South, and cast in her for
tunes with the North. She does not
like anything Southern, neither does
the Wheeling Intelligencer. 1t appears
to be matter of regret to the Intetli-
gencer that any Southern man should
think or speak well of the section in
which he was born and reared. While
we neither understand nor envy the
man, or the State that can, in war or
in peace, turn against the people and
the section, in the midst Of which COP
placed them-we are not disposed to
quarrel with them. All men are not
alike. Some have touches of nature,
and would rather die than turn against
their kith aud kin; others would be-
tray them for a mess of pOttage. We
belong to the former.

APerfec, An,ido,e for Pei.on..

A plain farmer says: 1t is now over
twenty years since learned that sweet
oil would cure the bite of a rattlesnake,
not knowing it would cure other kinds
of poison of any kind, both on man and
beast. l think no farmer should be
without bottle of it in his house. The
patient must take spoonful of it inter
nally, and bathe the wound for cure.
To cure horse it requires eight times
as much as it does for man. Here let
me say of one of the most extreme cases
of snake bites in this neighborhood:
Eleven years ago this summer, where
the case had been thirty days standing,
and the patient had been given up by
his physicians, / heard of it, carried the
oil and gave him ono spoonful, which
effected cure. 1t is an antidote for
arsenic and strychnine. 1t will cure
bloat in cattle by eating too freely Of
fresh clover, it will cure the sting Of
bees, spiders OF other insects, and will
cure persons who have been poisoned by
low running vine, growing in the
meadows, called ivy.

Raaic.IF.Ise Pretence..

Since the fall elections have generally
resulted in their favor, many of the rad
lcal newspapers have thrown off the
mask they wore dnring the political
eampaign, and boldly avow doctrines
which they, few weeks ago, vehement
y denied. They now claim that, by the
5ecent elections, the people have en-
orsed the very measures which the
dicsls insisted before the election
sre not ut all involved in the result.
Ter denying, in the bitterest manner
pssible, that negro suffrage was one OF
he schemes and purposes Of their party,
hey now have the effrontery to claim
hat the people have endorsed negro
mirage. After expressly repudi-
sting the views of such men as STEVENS,
md SUMNER and BUTLER, and stigma
tizing these men as extremists whose
opinions were not shared by the masses
"a their party, they now have the impu-
lence to claim that the recent elections
lave given to the doctrines taught by
hese men the verdict of popular ap-
Proval. They confess, by direct impli-
ation, to having fought the campaign
through under false colors, and secured
triumph by false pretences, and now
hey declare their intention to pervert
he victory thus fraudulently obtained
p the consummation of purposes which,
few weeks ago, they did not dare to
wow. If the radical politicians would
put be as honest, and reveal their
Intentions as truthfully before an
Election as they do in the flush and
ey-day Of success, their victories
you'd be far more rare. We do

A National Den.cra,ie Convention

A National Demscrntic Convention.
A proposition has been made by sew
eral of our cotemporaries, originally by
the La Crosse Democrat, that National
Democratic Convention be held in the
city of Louisville, for the thorough or
ganization of the party, and the adop-
tion of a platform upon which all
Conservative men may unite in oppesi-
to the radicalism now dominant through
ont the country. The proposition is
finding universal favor with the Demo
cratic press ard party. The impression
seems to be well fixed that under no
name can Democrats battle as earnestly
or so successfully as their own,
and that Of all banners under
which men may rally in a
struggle for truth and right, there
is none SO inspiring, so cheering, or so
thrilling, as that which bears the time
honorod synonym of victory, and un-
turls to the breeze the grand old title of
Democracy. Disguise it as we may, all
the successful political battles of this
nation, against Capitalization, in favor
of the rights of the States, the liberties
Of the people and the maintenance OF
the constitution, have been fought and
won under this ancient name, and the
men who throughout their whole lives
have marched to victory under the
standard of the Democratic party will
always be found to fight most
effectively under the banner which
is associated with so many MEM
cries of glory and triumph. We
read that when the SCOTS, in their
war for freedom from English tyranny,
deposed their hero leader, WILLIAM
WALLACE, aud followed the guidance OF
another, their efforts were fruitless and
their battles all defeats. On ono sad
day of peril and disaster, when the
Lion ofScOtland went down before the
onslaught Of the naughty Southron, and
Highland and Scotland were scattered
before the matchless arm of King Ed
WARD, the banished chieftain appeared
upon the field, rushed into the midst of
his di.heartened comrades, uplifted the
fallen standards, rallied the flying Scots
and led them anew to battle and to tri-
umph. So under their ancient leader
ship may the champions of freedom of
this age, be rallied upon the very field
of their defeat, inspired with the olden
zeal that knows no wavering, and dis
ciplined anew to the march that leads
to victory and honor.
