KEEPING WINTER FRUIT.

| a correspondent inquiries for the best
way to keep winter apples and pears for
ordinary management, "more particularly
with reference to leaving them in open
BINS or casting them tight in boxes, casks
or drawers" In answer we can state that
we have generally kept winter apples in
open bins or shelves, made in the centre
OF the fruit room, so that the attendant
may pass around on every side to pick
them over The fruit room is separated
from the rest of the cellar by brick par
ttion, is furnished with ventilating win.
dows, which may be turned up or shut
down at pleasure, and the temperature
regulated nearly to freezing by meaps of
thermometers. This is the most conven-
lent mode for ordinary use. when apples
are wanted Tor daily supply. About once
month, or oftener if necessary. they are
picked over and the "speeked'' or decayed
ones removed, taking care to disturb them
owner can do this work himself as bat
few hired men will be sufficiently careful,
but will tumble the fruit about needlessly,
aud iniure its appearance and keeping
| quality.
Fruit will keep better if protected from
the air, and from the constant changes of
temperature which currents of air impart.
Wrapping the apples separately in paper.
and simply placing them on the shelf, we
have found to protect them from decay, a
much larger number by actual count re-
naming sound than if subjected to ordin-
airy exposure. Apples will keep longer
IN barrels Tor this reason, and the only OBJ
lection to barreling is that they are ex-
cluded from sight and examination, and
sometimes become badly rotted before
their condition is discovered. Drawers
would be better, if not so expensive.
We keep winter pears in shallow boxes,
which may be shut closely with fitting
lids. They are thus excluded from air
and light, and are easily accessible for
examination. A better way, probably,
would be to have close lids to the shallow
bins or shelves, so that they might be ca
silly examined at any time with the same
facility as winter apples. Large and fine
specimens of Clairgeau. Duchesse dan
gouleme, or An iou, may be wrapped in
soft paper, in addition to the covering.
They need occasional examination as ri.
pening approaches. With some varieties,
much of their excellence depends on care
full ripening; with others, less care is nee
cssary.
Ii is important for the good keeping of
both apples and pears, that they be kept
till nearly winter in cool outbuildng,
and placed in the cellar only when it may
be kept cool by ventilation.-C Country
Gentleman.
