KEEPING APPLES.


My mode of keeping apples is to dig
trench or pit, about three feet wide,
and fifteen inches deep and long enough
to hold all the apples you have TO bury.
Put piece of timber at each end, and
also at the sides to raise it about eight
inches higher than the level of the
ground. then place clean straw or
prairie hay in the bottom, ends and
sides, about three inches thick. Apples
should be picked and put in pile, and
left there two or days if the weather
will permit of it; then they should be
carefully sorted handle them so as not
to bruise them; then put them III the pit
or trench, and ill il up 20 within three
inches of the'top. BE sure and have the
straw or hay. that you line your trench
with, come higher than the pieces of
timber at the sides and ends. / then
put on rails or poles lengthwise, have Il
space of three inches between them,
and first cover with straw or hay few
inches thick, and then cover with earth.
Do not dig the earth away within two
or three feet of the trench. Leave the
ends open this will let the air circulate
through the openings between the poles
or rails. Leave the ends open till cold
weather commences, then close them
up. When il gets colder iJut CA GOOD
covering at horse manure. Select i"
place where il j. we'll diained naIuII'll
.! arIificiolly. Ny father follow ed IL Il
mode several years in PeHnsy lvauia anG
for eight years in this State.
In 1866 we buried by this mode forty
five bushels of different varieties. Out
of this forty-five bushels perhaps there
were a dozen that had commenced TO
rot. have kept them this way till
September. They are better favored,
more firm, and less trouble, than put
ting them in the celler. We have sew
eral varieties of apples, which when
kept in the cellar, or in barrels, get al
most as dry and tasteless as so much
wood, they are good for eating and
cooking when kept by this mode. !
would like to hear from others on this
subject Western RUrdl.

KANSAS LEADS THE VAN.-We have
received from the Commissioner of Ag-
riculture the reports for 1863; and
while we have not room to present the
whole of the average yield of farm
products" we wish to cal attention to
some of the leading features. BY ref
erence TO the aforementioned table we
find that Kansas leads all the States in
the average yield of the corn crop, it
being 4S.4 followed by Nebraska with
42.2, and California, A. In wheat,

TO make II very good showing. 1t
places us first in the corn crop, third in
wheat, third in barley, seventh in buck
wheat, third in potatoes, and second in
the hay crop. 1t will be remembered
that, short time ago, we claimed that
the average among our good farmers on
the corn crop was forty bushels per
acre; but here we see that the ictOte
State has averaged OreI' Jorty-etght

RAILROADS of narrow guaSe are becom-
ing popular. Wales has one in which
the rails are put two and half feet
apart, and Canada boasts of one in which
they are distant from each other three
and half feet. The advantages of such
railways are that they are cheaper than
those of wide guage, curves may be
made sharper and more frequently, and
without so much loss of tractive power
of the engine. The first of these roads
in the United States is about to be made
between Buffalo and Springfield; and
tits said that some gentlemen of Read
ing, Lebanon, Harrisburg and Allen
town, in Pennsylvania, think of build
ing two feet and half guage road from
Allentown to Harrisburg, to carry freight
and passengers. Apropos of railway
matters, the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company is considering the propriety
of leasing the Camden and Amboy and
New Jersey Railroads-indeed, have
been considering it for long time--the
probability being that some mutually
satisfactory" arrangements will soon be
made in regard to the matter.

MR. BRIGHT AS AMERICAN EMBAssADoR

The London NelCS looks upon the proposition
TO send John Bright to the United States to settle the
Alabama claims exceedingly unwise II says:
A speculation has been nterchanged between some
English and American journals and orators which IL
more credable the feelings than the Judgment
its promoters Bright 10 has been suggested, would
be a very proper person to send upon special mission
10 Washington for the purpose Of settling the Alabama
claims aud the Fisheries dispute. This wellmeant pro-
pOsal "a an exceedingly unwise Mr.. Bright Is
Justly hOnored in the United States. and no
doubt his reception IN that country would be
cordial and even enthusiastic, He has earned the adj
mration, and sgpe degree the gratitude Of the Amer
lean people But business Is one thing and sentiment is
shoher; and neither the American Government nor the
English Government is likely To let them exchange
places Mr. Bright himself is the last man IN the world
t. do So As Lord Granville ssid some time since in the
Uonse Of Lords there is public man who has more Of
the true John Bull temper In him than the President or
the Board OF Trade. 1t mistake to suppose that Mr.
Bri ght takes "a more American view Of the American
claims and pretension than tho rest OF his colleagues
He was formerly advance of them but thcy have como
