Gas DULL AS A HoE."-This is an old
favorite comparison, ami it seems cruel to rob
it of its poetry But free use Of the file or
grindstone is as rough on the comparison as
the keen hoe is on the weeds. Certainly 1t Is
poor economy TO save the wear OF the hoe, of
necessity only half killing the weeds and MAX
ing heavy toll of otherwise light work. A file
even an old one, cleaned with diluted ac'd,
will answer every purpose, or grindstone, If
one has no file. Never mind If stones or
gravel do dull, sharp hoe, carefully u.ed,
will accomplish moIe than the noisy grubbng
of dull one. 1t Is a pleasure to see tho hoe
daily narrow up and the corners gradually
round of. for honorable age and instant SER
ner and smaller. Sharpen the h,e, then (;
first, to save the hard labor, second, 10 do
neater work; third to keep 1t bright; fnally,
to have the pleasure of see it grow old in the
service.-Southern Farmer.

How To KEEP APPLEs.-At NEE ing Of
the Experimental Farm Club, held at the
farm near West Grove. Chester County, the
subject of picking and packing and storing
apples was discussed. Thomas NJ. Harvey,
said DR.. Andrew Bush, very successful fruit
cuturist, picked bis apples " hen ripe, packed
kept verv well. Job III. Jackson said that
in barrels with as little handling as possible,
and when the weather became frosty. the
fruit we;e put where it was just warm enough
to keep them from freezing He had kept
apples by burying them. James Wilson kept
apples until spring by covering the barrel
with straw stack. The great requisite in
keeping apples, DIR. Kitchener said, was the
most careful handling. and as little Of II as
possiblei and an even cool temperature. never
allowing the fruit to freeze. Charles Ha u
bleton had kept apples until new crop ri.
pened, by allowing them to remain on the
trees until thoroughly chilled by the frost,
and then putin, them in a cold cellar. Pack
ing apples in saw dust, dry tan or plaster of
Paris had also been tried successfully by sever
al. Another authority says that apples should
never be gathered during d mp weather nor
when heavy dew is upon them in early
morning. 1t is poor p,licy to shake fruit
