Wintering Fruit.


We take the following from the Michigan
Farmer; 81 wish to say word to the farm
ers who are about TO put their fruit in Their
cellars for winter and spring use, and give
my mode OF packing, which is the isost sat
isfactory TO me of any that have ever tried,
and have tried a number of different ways.
First, carefully select the best fruit, have
good clean barrels and line them with paper,
sides and bottoms. q have used old news
papers with good effect, but prefer wrapping
paper, such as you generally get your goods
done up in, by saving which along through
the season you will have good supply
Fin your barrel one-fourth full and cover
over with paper, fill in as many more and
cover over again, aud so on until your barrel
is full; cover with paper and head up
keep in as cool place a. you can, and not
have them freeze. To those who have been
in the habit Of storing away their winter
apples just as it happened, in boxes or bins
or old barrels just ready to fall down, let me
say, try this plan with barrel o. two, and
| think you will be amply repaid in the
winter aud spring in the extra quality Of
fruit, to say nothing of the economy of the
thlng-for | think few moments extra
time in putting up in the fall is better than
twice as long a time spent in sorting over
and carrying out rotten apples in the winter
and spring. If any one has a better method
that is as cheap aud practical for the farmer
| would like to see it in print. have tried
packing in land plaster, but like the pa
per best"

Make Some One Happy To-day.

As Mabel was starting for school, grand
ma said "Good-by, dear make some one
happy to-day" and, leaving kiss on the
rosy cheek, she went back to her knitting.
The wood fire cracked away and blazed
while il sung out q" Good.by, Mabel; make

And Mabel threw another kiss to each, and
bounded off to school, dragging her sled
after her.
just ahead of her was her dear friend
Maud Eastlake. Mabel ran faster than
ever TO overtake her. But around the cor.
ner, between her and her friend, came Philip
Saunders and his little sister, Dora. A good
mile they had come this cold morning, and
Dora was crying--she was cold and tired
Mabel ran by and left them but some
echo voice said "Make some one happy TO.

little sigh, then turned straight around and
ran back to Philip and Dora,
This horse is too gay" she said to Philip.
Put Dora on, then take hold, and wen be

dYoure real good, Mabel Dora is real
tired. I've helped her all | can" And
Philip lifted his little sister on.
"Don't cry, Dora. Wen have you there
in five minutes" he said, as they started.
But the tears had already been driven
back by the prospect of ride. And when
at last Philip and Mabel drew up in grand
style it was a pretty happy girl they lifted
from the sled. Philip, too, had been happy.
"Thank YOU" said Philip again, as they
stopped. "Youve made us both happy"
"And," said Mabel, that's what did it
for" Then she told what her grandmother
had said to her at starting
"Well," said Philip, "you can count two
you have made happy already. It's good
rule. believe I'll try it, too"
And grandma" said Mabel, as she told
of this and some other things at night, we
ought to count it three, for it made me
happy, too,"-Adcent Christian Times.

AT recent meeting Of the Elmira O..
" Farmers Club, member is reported as
saying Some years ago ! knew farmer
who undertook TO improve the manure in
his barnyard by spreading on 1t unslaked
lime. The yard was sheltered, most Of the
manure being in basement to his barn, to
which the cattle had free access. Returning
one night from visit TO town, he observed
an unusual light under his barn, and on go
ing to the spot to ascertain the cause he
found pile Of manure actually sending out
a small flame, which would soon have re.
duced the barn and contents, but for his
timely discovery. lie put out the fire and
abandoned the use Of lime in the manure
heap, for the lesson satisfied him that burn
ing would not improve manure" We cut
the above from an exchange not only for
the warning it contains, but also to add that
the application Of lime, or ashes, to barn
yard manure, in the way described, is pos
tive injury to the manure. These powerful
alkais have a tendency 20 set ammonia free
from its natural combinations in the ma
nure, aud allow 1t to escape into the air.
They should be applied to the soil sepa-
rately from any fertilizers containing am
mouia, and never under any circumstances
be composted with such fertilizers, unless
where an abundance of absorbent material
is also mixed with the compost.

Save the Liquids.

Both science and practical experience
agree in declaring that the liquid excrement
OF our domestic animals is the best part OF
the manure. Yet it is wasted to a terrible
extent, even upon farms that are otherwise
well managed. The loss TO the people Of
this state from single cause like this is,
when computed as total, something fright
full in view of the universal cutlery about
the unproftableness Of our farming. Very
extensive observation and inquiry satisfies
rs that upon not more than one farm in ten,
the state over, is any efficient means taken TO
save this portion of the manure. And worse
still, upon the farms where this great waste
is permitted, it will be almost always found
that the solid manure is thrown out under
unspouted caves, and leached Of nearly all
its value before it is applied to the land.
There are, in fact, very few farms which
have barn cellars, and it is only by the Gel
larage Of stables that complete saving OF
the liquids can be effected, and the com
bined dung and urine protected from the
teaching which it undergoes in open yards.
1t is true that where sheds are provided to
shelter the manure and heavy bedding OF
ahsorbents is used under the cattle, much is
saved that would otherwise be lost. Yet
under sheds the horse manure suffers almost
as much from heating as it loses by teaching
when unprotected the ordinary light
bedding Of straw, chaif or sawdust, saves
but small portion of the liquids. We
think it would be liberal estimate that
would allow as many as one barn in forty,
throughout the state, where anything like
all the manure is saved in perfection.
Now the census of 1870 report the num-
Der of horses, milch COWS and oxen in Yer
mont, at that date, to be two hundred and
seventy-three thousand nine hundred and
nine Take this as basis, without con.
sidering the young stock, sheep and swine,
and would it be too much 10 say that the
annual loss of manurial value by this vast,
alone, as represented in the crops, cannot be
less than ten dollars per head of these heavy.
full grown animals Should this be allowed
then Vermont is throwing away, by this
form of unthrift alone, two million seven
hundred and thirty-nine thousand aud ninet,
dollars a year Would not this sum alon'
be sufficient, if brought into the state and
invested every year, to spread broad smil'
of prosperity over the land Aud il so
would not its saving amongst us have ik'

There is no other way than by the spread 0
enlightenment among the people. To thai

DRYING PUMPKrNs.--Pumpkins may be
put up in the old-fashioned mode Of cutting
into rings, pairing, and drying upon poles
or they may be cut into small pieces and
dried on plates in the sun or oven. A bet

them, just as for pies. then spread the pulp
thinly upon earthen dishes, and dry quickly
in a hot sun or partially heated oven. II

Growing Plants from Sins.


This question is answered in a discussion
at the American Institute substantially as
follows: ave must always bear in mind
that high temperature is necessary to grow
plants from slips. They will seldom strike
roots when the Thermometer marks below
sixty degrees, and that is probably why so
many fail. The best material TO start cut.
tings of any kind in is clean washed sand.
II in the ground, make hole an inch or
two across aud I'll it with sand Grape
propagators use nothing but sand and water
at first When roots start, the cuttings are
changed to other pots filled with rich com
post" To the above should be added that
for the greatest success, especially with
plants that root with difficulty from slips,
The earth should be rdrmer Man The air. Early
In the fall is therefore the best time to start
plants from cuttings in the open air. At
other seasons, what is called " bottom heat Z"
is requisite. This may be obtained in the
common hot-bed, or by fire, water or steam
heat, as in the propagating houses Of garden
ers. Proper ventilation in these conditions
is essential, otherwise the slips, instead Of
roofing, will "damp off," or rot at the sur
face OF the ground Regular watering, syr-
inging, and occasional or partial shade,
must be attended, 10. ~ wei ia tbs dsstrre,

SMALL Pres GROWING IN FAVOR Val
idce's Monthly says; at is only a few years
since swine breeders were yieing with each
other for the greatest weight Of carcass
but this is changed. Hogs that will weigh
five hundred pounds are sold at less price
per pound than those Of two hundred and
fifty to three hundred pounds. The market
in England has long favored light weights
London is chiefly supplied with pigs Of less
than two hundred pounds weight. And this
tendency of the market to pigs well fattened
but of small weight is just what the farmer
should encourage, for it is exactly in the
line of his interest. 1t costs more to make
the second one hundred pounds Of a zig thar
the first, and still more to make the third
one hundred pounds and so every pound
added becomes more expensive"

FREsn WATER FOR Cows,--Good, fresh,
clean water, and in abundance, is one OF the
most important requisites for milch cows,
and it should be in convenient places, where
stock will not be required to travel long dis
tances to slake their thirst. II springs and
running streams cannot be had in pastures,
good well, with windmill and pump, makes
an efficient substitute, and the waste of
water may, if necessary, be conducted back
into the well, so as to keep up constant
supply Of good, fresh water.

KEEPING SrocK.--It is certainly well
known to all breeders of stock that mig
gardly keeping for several consecutive gen
erations will undoubtedly curb the generous
tendencies which selection and liberal nur-
ture have induced, and at length destroy
them. Oyerforcing ruins milk productive
ness weakens the constitution, causes dis
ease, and impairs, often totally destroying,
fertility. Under either extreme of manage
ment, the most sagacious judgment in the
choice and mating Of animals would be ex-
ercised in vain

GIVE THEM CHANcE.-No farm animal
is naturally so clearly as a pig, il he only
has fair chance, and is not driven into foul
quarters by his owner. We find that when
the pens are well cleaned twice day, and
supplied often with pure, dry straw, the
animals appear not only to appreciate the
privilege, but they positively thrive much
more rapidly. Whenever the experiment
has been made by weighing it has been
proved that when of equal animals, fed on
the same amount of food, part are kept
perfectly clean aud another part in dirt, the
former gain flesh more rapidly.
