Keeping Apples.

It has been found n good practice
among fruit growers to pack their fruit
in close barrcla or boxes, and sccludc
them as much as possible from the air .
We remember the case of n man who
packed all his fruit this way in the or
chari npon the open ground, then COW
cred them with n load of hay, left them
nearly all winter; and when opened,
scmr .iX months later, they were found
to be in perfect condition. Some variC-
ties shrivcl badly, and are not consider
cd good kccpcrS-9uch as the tallman
sweet, spil2enbcrg, etc. II they are
packed in this way, and kept in n dry
vet cool place, they viii be found to do
well. Another farmer says:
81 have found universally that they
keep better to let them lie without pick
inc over. 1t Is much better to pile them
into a large bin across the cellar, say
siN or seven feet high and four or five
feet wide. and cover them up tight, than
70 lay them on shelves. once saw such
u bin that a man had kept through the
winter. About the first Of April he
thought he would open the windows on
the side OF the cellar next to the bin, to
let in the air, that they might keep bet
ter. | were at his place, and he called
my attention to the fact. Two windows
over the bIn was opened about ten DAYS
or two weeks; and the apples exactly
opposite the windows, about One-third,
ruttcd for as much IA II foot in depth,
and the remaining part on either side
were not rOttel at all"

Cooked Wheat for Hogs.

A correspondent of an exchange
says: On the 4th Of August, 1870, |
PIT up Is hogs, weighing ., 400 pounds,
and fed them 81 bushels cooked wheat
the week. On the 18th their weight
was 1900 pounds; gain, 200 pounds, or
n gain of 49, pounds to the hog, being
nearly two pounds a day. The next
ueek ! fed them g bushels of the cook
ell wheat, producing an increase Ofel5
pounds, l4l pounds to the hog, being
\ gain ofovertwo pounds a head a day.
The third week | fed them 10 bushels
of cooked wheat, resulting In q gain of
2GO pounds, or 37l pounds a head, or
: 1921 a day. The fourth week l fed
them III bushels of cooked wheat, the
gain being 800 pounds or zig poundsa
head, or fraction over 3 pounds a day
each. The hogs were then sold and
taken away. They gained In four
weeks, 90j pounds on 32l bushels OF
wheat. In this manner of feeding |
received q good price for the wheat, as
the hogs were sold at s. % per 100
pounds. The breed was the Russian
China stock, about fifteen months
old.

On Dressing Hogs.

Two years ago many hogs were
partially or wholly lost, by becoming
tainted after they were dressed, ana
before the meat cooled off. One in
stance came to our knowledge, where
two fine hogs, each weighing 400
pounds, were injured by faint. They
were dressed in quite q cool day,
thoroughly cleaned and washed of
with cold water. They We're hung
up under a shed, where a cool breeze
blew over them, and yet the next
morning there was a perceptible faint
in the carcasscs.
To prevent this the body should be
split down the whole length by d.
viding the back bone. This will ad-
nit the air, allow the animal heat to
escape, and keep the meats sweet.
Quite cold weather will not always
prevent a faint. 1t did not in this
case alluded to above. 1t is supposed
by some that it is eve safer to dress
when the thermometer stands about
1900. The reason given is, that when
the weather is quite cold, the skin
contracts and prevents the animal
heat from escaping. Whether this is
80 CT not, we do not know.
This, however, Is quite certain
! that If the carcass il split down,
there will be little or no danger of
tho meat becoming tainted if it ia
not, there is danger; and it lie SO trif-
ling work to do it, that it is very
poor economy to omit it. =.
In sending hogs to market, it
would undoubtedly be more conve-
nient to handle them whole, than II
cut apart, and it may be safe enough
TO keep them whole in such hogs as
are usually sent long distances, those
weighing only from 200 to ao
pounds. ,
In the winter OF 1868, we listened
with much interest toa lecture by
Prof. Gambee, Of London, upon
"The Principles Involved in the Pre-
servation of Meats" before the State
Board of Agriculture, at Amherst,
Mass. In the course Of his remarks
he said
Gwen in winter a lot of hogs may
be killed in the evening, and whilst
still warm packed in carts ready for
delivery early next morning The
carcasscs buried beneath others heat,
The cold hogs remain intact, but the
hams Of the lower ones faint in pic
klc. Masses of frozen hams termed
green in the trade-that is, which
have been a few days in salt-arc
sen. from the West to New YORK,
are purchased by provision dealers
they are tested, and apparently
aound but when spring-timc comes
and II thaw s%upcrvPnes, large quanti-
ties of these hams turn. The salt has
not penetrated. A PURIFYING centre
has been surrounded by ice all has
remained stationary so long as the
temperature has been low; but the
instant heat supervcnes, the process
advances, and the entire hams turn
sour"
This shows the very great impor-
lance of so managing as to allow all
the heat to escape as soon az possible
after the animal is dressed.

Curious Facts.

Toads are not the only animals
which have the power Of living for Il
considerable time without nourish-
mont and communication with the
external air. Two living worms were
found in Spain in the middle of a
block Of marble which a sculptor was
carving into q lion for the royal fam
fly. These worms occupied two small
cavities, To which there vas no inlet
that could possibly admit the air.
They subsistcd, probably, on the mar
bile, as they were Of the same color.
This fact was verified by Captain
Ulloa, Il famous Spaniord, who &c
companied the French AGademician-
in their voyagcto Peru lorthc purpose
of nscertaining the figure Of the earth,
He asserts that he saw these tive
worms. A becdlc Of thcspccics called
Capricorn was found in n piece %
wood In the hold Of u snip at Ply
mouth. The wood had no external
mark Of any aperture, We read III

that an adder was found alive III tH'

York Founding Asylum and tle scers, and
Sailors Orphans Home Of Washing o.,
i. positively fixed to take place in The latter
city on tho 23rd Of November next. A pccu
liarity ofthis enterprise is that it ha, received
the sanction Of the U. 3. Commissioner OF In
ternal Revenue, whose special permit of tap
pears in the prospectus, being the very ilrst
Instance in which such permit has been granted
to an enterprise of the kind. This Is a TACT Sc
important in Itself, that the sale OF tickets has
already advanced to au unprecedented extent.
Another gnranty of the sterling character OF
the enterprise appears in the names Of the
substantial meh Of business and high social
position by whom it is sustained; while the
press Of the entire country has been unanimous
in giving it publicity and approval. Private
e%molument is not tho principle. upon Which
no enterprise stands, its projectors being
