How to Z oep Grapes.

A correspondent Of the Central Union
Agrlculturist gives the following rules for
grapes.
Place the grape where it will BE- neither
TOO dry nor too moist, too warm nor too
cool
AS to temperature, the nearer freezing
the better, so long as it is aooTe freez-
ing.
Too much moisture will breed mold
and spoil the favor Of those that do not
rot. Contact with decayed Or broken
grapes will spoil the berries they touch.
loo much warmth, if air is not .exclu-
ded. will dry the fruit and make raiaius.
If the fruit is good enough. If the air is
excluded the fruit will spoil if too warm.
Hence we infer that grapes to keep should
not be packed.
Put up the fresh clusters in boxes, two
or three layers deep upon cotton paper
or grape leaves between Layers. Light
wood boxes are best. Let The see be
governed by your own taste. II for mar
keting, use those that will hold from two
to fouv pounds.
In handling the clusters use the stem
only. Contact with the hand takes off
the bloom besides there, is danger of
bruising. Handle carefully. The boxes
ought to be covered.
People have been taught to, wax the
end of the stem. There is little Use in
this. If the grapes are of a variety that
will keep. we'll. the pedupcle lays fast
hold on. the pulp, and is kept fresh by
the grape. A little drying Of the fruit
causes the peduncle to wither and break
from the berry. Grapes separated from
the cluster soon decay.
The Hartford often drops from the
stem" in gathering With tho best care
i: can be kept fresh but very short time
after gathering.
The Concord is very little better.
Observe, if when you draw berry from
the cluster it brings out the peduncle froa
the centre. it promises to keep well To-.
nacity to the stem is your criterion. The
stronger tho hold of the berry the better it
will keep.
Then, for keeping tough skin is ne
cessary.

fill in with apples when half-boied, and
stirring with paddle twelve hours. We
continue the boiling process till it is all
boiled down to good syrup, say about
five gallons into one, which can be poured
out in wood or stone vessel, and will
keep if not ready 10 make up immediate.
~: The evening previous to making up,
with the assistance Of our men folks, We
pare and core our apples, which we stew
IN little sweet cider if we have it.
otherwise water orsome of the boiled cider
weakened down. When the apples are
cooked soft, we commence stirring adding
the boiled cider as fast as it will bear,
four bushels of apples being quite suf-
ielent for thlriy-swo gallons of cider
Three hours brisk boiling With. constant
stirring will make it strong enough to
keep year if desired.
