How to Keep Apples,

Mr.. RatlIh, an old frult-grower OF
Wayne County, gives us mis- method OF
Keeping winter apples as lolloWs; AT
The proper season, before they are full
ripe, in the fall, he picks them carefully
from the tree and buries them in shallow
pits in the ground, covering them over
with three or four inches Oh earth. He
assures US that he takes them out the
next spring, as lale as May, perfectly
sound, nice and plump. He is particu-
larry SUCCESSFUL in this method with the
Russet. The freezing in the winter
seems to be q ben. fiji instead of an in
jury to them. When good apples will
bring from 81 to 50 per buslel IN May, 1t
pays well to take this trouble in pre-
serving them. 1t certainly is a less ex-
pensiye plan for keeping few hundred
bushels than building u fruit house, and.
according to trlenus experience, it is
quite as successful [Ex.

spied the object of their affection, they slip

over her head also, and holding her tightly
around the waist, compel her to listen to
the soft accents of love. In case of popu-
lar belle they will sometimes range them
selves in a line at the door of her wigwam,

Their simplicity is something wonderful,

greatest confusion upon field glass being

Lastly, the language of the Indian is well
known TO be picturesque, and no one can
appreciate the grace OF their oratory with
out having seen it, and even in ordinary
conversation their gestures are profuse.
1t is the very poverty of their language
which makes it sound poetic thus, for "the

boat run on the water" thus bringing in
