FIELD AND FlREsiDE.
Fresh Apples the Entire Year.

DR.. Sylvester told the American Farmers
club that he has now in his cellar apples of
1875 and 1876 standing side by side. Ap>
pies so kept are within the reach CT almost
every family. The process is as follows:
Let the apples be picked on a dry day, and
carefully placed in bins in q cool out>house,
where they will in two or three weeks have
completed the sweating process. Then they
are carefully assorted and the first quality
placed in barrels. headed up, and placed in
cool, shaded position, to remain there until
the weather is so cold that there is danger of
freezing, when the barrels are removed to
good cellar, where temperature from thirty to
forty degrees should be maintained. In this
manner apples will keep soundly until the
season of ripening arrives, when they should
be continued. The King. the Hubbardson,
the Baldwin, tho Greening. the Spy, the
Spitzenburg, the Swar, the Newton Pippin,
the Roxbury Russell aud the English Russ
will ripen nearly in the order indicated by
their position in the list, and will then ex>
hibit their best qualities and aroma, and the
last mentionedlwill keep the entire summer if
desired. 1t is DR.. SylVester's custom to cease
the use of apples when toe small fruits arrive
in their season, keeping up daily supply of
fresh and luscious fruit for each and every
meal the entire year

SCALDs OR BuRNs.-1nstantIy and liber-
ally apply dry flour, and keep it in its place
by bandage. Another excellent applica-
tion is prepared lard"-that is, lard with-
cut salt. IF only salt lard is at hand, wash
out the salt in cold water. Do not apply cold
water, salt. spirits, or vinegar. If the burn
be in the leg or foot, slit the stocking so as to
avoid breaking the skin. Do not wash the
wound, aud do not dress it ottener than on
alternate days. Do not rub or roughly handle
tho affected parts. If there be much dis
charge do not wipe, but gently sop with soft
cloth. "No ulcer should be often dressed, as
by removing the excretion We are likely to
cub of also the new Gc5h."

WIDE>TIRED WHEELs.-A wagon or cart
gith q six>inch tread, will take heavy loads
ever soft meadows and hardly leave a track
where narrow>wheelcd wagon with similar
load could not go at all. On country roads
such broad-tread vehicles destroy ruts, and
act like rollers, making the roads agreeable
for light carriages and keeping them in much
better order throughout the year. 1t would
be real blessing to every State of the Union
to put so heavy tag on narrow wheels upon
heavy wagons aEd carts, that they would be-
come quite obsolete. Millions Of dollars
would be saved to the people of each State in
repairs of roads, in repairs of wagons, and in
horse flesh.
SPONGE PouND CAKE.-Thrce cups of
sugar, one cup butter, one cup sweet milk,
six eggs, five cups -four. Use baking powder
instead of soda or cream tarter, the usual
quantity, judging by tile kind of baking pow
der used. Divide this receipt, using one half
of each ingredient, when only one cake is
wanted. In making sponge cake, fresh
oranges are much better than lemons.

sLoNG PRIMER TowN.-Mr. r.
Brown, founder of the original Moni-
tor, was in our city yesterday. He
said he sold the Monitor out because
he could not afford to run nonpareil
paper in ''1ong primer town.
Score one for Moberly the gas city of
the west.
''Mr. r. Brown" never owned the
"original Monitor and, therefore,
never sold it out for the reason given
nor any other.
If the editor of the LEDGER is so
green as to allow himself to be ''sold
out" in that way, he had better stay
indoors or the cows, I'll chaw him.
-Enterprise-Monitor.
Perhaps the lopped-eared gentleman
of the pen (?) editorial department,
of the MISREPRESENTATION thinks that
all the inhabitants of this mundane
sphere are ignoramuses as himself,
OF else he would not have penned
the above. The fact that Mr.. X.
Brown did not start the ''original
MONITOR may be all true, but the
fact that l.. r. Brown did start the
''original Monitor is nevertheless
true. the contradiction of that long
cared gentleman notwithstanding to
the contrary. And although We az
knowledge ourselves green, we have
ntver yet been SO contemptihle and
contaminOus as to sell or principle
to railroad company ormonopoly as
that Enterprise gentleman did in

A Sensible Man.

Postmaster James is not only the best
postmaster New York has ever had he is a
man of sense, who does not hesitate to
change his course when he sees that he has
made a mistake. Moved by an easily par
donable desire to make the Post Office SER
vice not only perfect in its working, but
neat and snowy. he proposed to put all the
employees in uniform but little consider
alton showed him that it is easy to carry
this kind of uniformity too far, and he has
now given notice that the order will apply
only to the superintendent and persons
employed for out-of-door service. There is
an obvious convenience in this. The letter
carriers have been for some time in uni
