HOW TO KEEP APPLES.

N. Ratliff, an old fruit grower oi
Wayne county, gives us his method TO,
keeping winter apples as follows: Al
the proper season, before they are fully
ripe, in the fall he picks them carefully
from the tree and burries them in a
shallow pits in the ground, covering
them with three or four inches of earth
over that. He assures us that he takes
them out the next spring, as late as
May, perfectly sound, nice and plump.
He is particularly successful in this
method with the russet. The freezing
in the winter seems to be a benefit
Instead of an injury to them. When
good apple. will bring from one to two
dollars per bushel in May, it pays we'll
to take this trouble in preserving them.
1t certainly is less expensive plan for
keeping a few hundred bushels than
building fruit house, and according
to our friends experience it is quite as
safe and successful.

the rear and promoting Confederate
soldiers to the front: with deliberately
proposing to repudiate the plighted
faith of the government: with being
equally false and inbe,ile upon the
overshadowiDg financial question; with
thwarting the ends Of justice by its
partisan mismanagement and obstruc-
ton of investigation; with providing
itself, through the period of its ascend
ancy i'll the lower House of Congress,
utterly incompetent to administer the
government. We warn the country
against trusting a party thus alike
unworthy, recreant and incapable.
Cheers.
Seventeenth. The National Admin
istration merits commendation for its
honorable work in the management Of
domestic and foreign affairs, and Pres
ident Grant deserves the continued and
hearty gratitude of the American peo
pie for his patriotism, and his immense
services in war and in peace. Cheers.
That we present as our candidate for
President and Vice-President of the
United States, two distinguished states
men of eminent ability and character,
and conspicuously fitted for those two
high offices. We confidently appeal
to the American people to entrust the
administration of their public affairs
to Rutherford B. Hayes and William
A. Wheeler.

g8RvESTING POTATOES.

= .-Gre in he manner of hsr-
--3-u. potatoes than many farmers
HI~ aware of. Whether a man has
many Oh few it is important to have
them saved in the best possible condi,
tion. The implement to be used in
digging is of considerable Importance
If they are to be dug by hand, then a
hook, fork, spade or hoe will be used.
These are to be preferred in the order
in which have named them. And one
who has once used good large hook
in this operation is not likely to ever
wish to go back to the use of the hoe
again.
Several potato diggers to run by
horsepower have been invented, some
of which seem to give quite good sat-
isfaction. Where potatoes are raised
in large quantities it is well to have some
such machine to do the digging with.
In the absence of any such arrange
ments, and where large quantities are
to be harvested, it is best to use a plow.
Various plans may be pursued in the
operation of plowing. The idea is to
pursue that plan that will leave the
largest proportion of the potatoes on
the surface of the ground. After all
are gathered up that can be found, a
harrow should be run over the ground
till the crop is all brought to light and
saved. As far as possible bright sun
Skinny day should be selected for dig
ging potatoes, and the soil should be
dry enough to permit the potatoes to
be saved from adhering dirt. They
should be allowed to lie in the sunshine
only long enough to become thoroughly
dry. Exposure to sunshine produces
chemical changes in short time that
greatly Injuries the fine flavor and rem
ders them strong and unpalatable.-
They should as soon as they are dry
after digging, be placed in a cool, pro-
tected place, and if totally dark all the
better. II is not best to shut them up
very closely in either bins or pits till
the approach of freezing weather.

HYGENIC NOTES,

Scrofula.-A tea made of ripe dried
whortleberries and drank in place OF
water is a sure and speedy cure for
scrofula difficulties, however bad.
Good for Prickly Heat. - Cream of
tartar one ounce, flour of sulphur one
ounce; take a teaspoonful three
times a day in half tumbler of cold

Remedy for Poison.-If a person
swallows any poison whatever, or has
fallen into convulsions from having

THE FARMERS WIFE.

The farmer came in from the field one day
His laDguid step and his weary way,
His beaded brow, his sinewy hand,
All showed his work for the good OF the
land;
For he sows, sows, sows.
For he hoes, hoes, hoes,
And he mows, mows, mows,
For the good OF The land
BY the kitchen fire stood his patient wife,
Light Of his home and JOY of his life,
With face all aglow, and busy hand
Preparing the meal for her household band
For she must boil, boil, boil,
And she must broil, broil, broil,
And she must toll, toll, toll,
All for the good OF the home
The bright sun shines when the farmer goes
out,
The birds sing sweet songs, lambs frisk
about;
The brook bubbles softly in the glen
While he works SO bravely for the good of
the men;
For he sows, sows, sows,
For he mows, mOws, mows,
And he hoes, hoes, hoes,
Allfor the sake Of the land.
How briskly the wife steps about within,
The dishes to wash the milk to skim:
The fire goes out. the flies buzz about.
For the dear ones AT home her heart is kent
stout.
There are pies to make. make. make.
There is bread to bake. bake. bake,
And steps to take, take, take,
M i0i 'n' 'aAe VI 'De n0ni''
When the day is DER and evening has come,
The creatures are fed the milking done
He takes his rest meath the old s6ade-tree.
From the labor of the land his thoughts
are free.
Though he sows COWS sows
And he hoes hoes. hoes

Boy Nature.

l have thought that the boy is the
only true lover of Nature, and that we
who make such dead set at studying
and admiring her come very wide of
the mark. 1.-THE nonchalance of boy
who is sure of his dinner" SAYS our
Emerson, g is the healthy attitude of
humanity" The boy is a part of Ma
ture; he is as Indifferent, as careless,
dis vagrant as She He broWses, he
digs, he hunts, he climbs, he halloes,
he feeds on roots, and green's, and
mast. He uses things roughly and
without sentiment. The GOODNESS with
which boys will drown dogs or cats,
or hang them to trees, or murder
young birds, or torture frogs or SPUR
rels, is like Natures own mercilessness.
Certain it is that we often get some
of the best touches of nature from
children. Childhood is a world by it
self, and We listen to children when
they frankly speak out of it with a
strange interest. There is such free
dom from responsibility and from
worldly wisdom-it is heavenly wis
dom. There is no sentiment in chill
dren, because there is no ruin; moth
ing has gone to decay about them yet
not leaf or tWig. Until he is well
into teens and sometimes later, boy
is like a bean pod before the fruit has
developed indefinite, succulent, rich
in possibilities which are only vaguely
outlined. He is pericarp, merely.
How rudimental are all his ideas. [

were two kinds of swallows-chimney
swallows and swallows.

that night, despite mammals assurance
that Sinnie had only tainted. and
would probably soon be well and
strong.
:" IL L hadn't spoke so sharp" she
sobbed, land made that horrid face.
And to think L knew and didn't tell
Oh, dear-oh, dearr'
The following days seemed to Jessie
a dreary time; for Sinnie did not i'm
mediately get well and strong. The
accident produced fever which
preyed on the little frame, and him
| dered impatient Jessie from the con-
fession she longed to make. But the
opportunity came at last. Sinnie,
looking up one day from her pillow,
was startled to see Jessie Grey's blue
eyes smiling sWeetly down into her
own.
She blushed crimson, and would have
turned away, but Jessie caught the
thin little hand.
"Oh, Sinnie," she murmured, lean
you ever, ever forgive me? | knew
about the bridge, and wouldn't tell.
and-oh! Sinnie, you might have
been drownedP'
The tender words brought tears to
Sinnie's eyes.
II don't blame you bit," she said.
Il was always hateful; always treated
you ugly and mean. But, jessie"
she added softly, 81 won't again: Jes-
sic, dear, l never willr' And Sinnie
kept her word.
Henceforth these two little foes
were firm and loving friends; the bar
rier which so long had separated them,
on each side of which they had walked
so proudly and defantly, was by mu-
tual consent demolished and its tim
bers forever buried from sight.
Little reader, do you know any such
barriers-do they separate you from
any of your mates? Remember, if
you prop them with plide and retalia-
ton, they will remain eternally strong;
if you weigh them down with kind
words and actions, they will eventu-
ally crumble away.-RosG Graham. i2

A Tomb of Fire.

| A New YORK dispatch gives the
following account of the recent con-
flagration on board the bark Europa,
in the dry-docks in that city:
The Europa was placed on the large
balance dry-dock, at the foet of Rut-
ger street, Friday, for the purpose of
receiving general overhauling. The
/ ship being chartered and it being nee
eSsary, she was made ready as expedi-
ti0uSly as possible. A large force of
calkerS, ship carpenters and black
| smiths were put to work this morning.
These men were scattered all over the
vessel and were busy. At about half
past eleven o'clock this forenoon the
| snip carpenters anu Cdtnv4o w.
the lower hold boring the sides to see
whether the planks were sound. while
the calkers had brought their oakum,
Oil and pitch into the lower hold to
have it at hand when required. A
ship carpenter named Jno. Casey, of
90 Sheriff street, was with the rest in
the fore-hold testing the planks. He
struck match for the purpose of
lighting q pipe, and having done SO
threw the burning match upon the
floor. A large pile, of oakum was close
by and the match set it on fire. Casey,
in endeaVoring to smother the flames,
was fatally burned. The flooring of
the vessel was saturated with kero-
sene, benzine and other highly
combustible liquids, and in
moment caught fire, which spread
with lightning rapidity, and the
entire hold, from stem to stern,
was a mass Of fire, converting it into
frightful death-trap. The workmen
in the hold were cut off from the air.
They were in tomb filled with fire.
Some at work amidships were COM
pletely surrounded by the flames.
Those not in the midst of the flames
were exposed to the deathly fumes
which arose from the fire, and fell suf-
located. The flames extinguished, the
police and fremen went into the hold,
and soon found in various parts Of the
bark the bodies Of five men, all ship
carpenters. The bodies were removed
to the seventh precinct station house,
on Madison street, and placed side by
side upon the floor in the back room
The mems faces are blackened and be-
grimmed with smoke and badly dis
torted, indicating the terrible agony
they endured before death came to
their relief. The clothes in some
places were almost burned through.
Deputy Coroner Marsh ordered all the
bodies to be taken to the morgue,
where a post norton examination is to
be made and an inquest held. As far
as could be ascertained the victims
were all married men with large fami-
lies, who are wholly unprovided for.
