Light and heat are the agents In ripenipg
fruits. The sagacious pomologist therefore
keeps tnem IN dark place and at as low a
temperature as possible short of freezing Heat
and moisture cause decay. Hence the fruit
room, IN addition to being kept cool, is also
Kept dry. These three conditions were OBJ
served by Prot. Nyce in his system of presery-
atories, ice being used tor COOLING and proper
dryers tor taking up the superabundant mcis-
lare We have had ripe tomatoes kept for
three months in such house, and in the most
perfect manner. Fruit-growers may arrive
sut1ciently near the mark, so that fruit NAV
be kept perfectly during the cold months. by
means of frost-proof walls and careful system
OF ventilation, avo ding thorough draft.
Since fruit is easily affected by odors, care
should be taken that the air of any fruit house
pc Kept clean and sweet. To this end nothing
put fruit should be kept In the fruit house, at
least nothing that will give off unpleasant
odore. SO particular are some in this respect
that they will not keep apples and pears in the
same room. To ensure perfect cleanliness the
walls and floors should be frequently white
washed with lime. We see no reason why the
snb-esrth air duct system may not be one Of
tne pest means for winter ventilation as it
certainly must be for summer ventilation.
With care fruits may be retarded in their
ripening for long periods. When wanted for
use they are removed to warm and light
place, where they quickly mature. When
extra hne specimens are to be preserved they
are carefully packed in some dry odorless sub
stance, as cottonwood, bran, buckwheat hulls,
dry oak leaves or pure sand. Land plaster is
said to be an excellent means for saving apples
through the winter intact. A thin layer of
plaster is placed in the bottom of the barrel,
then layer OF apples, and 80 alterD ately lay
ers OF plaster aud apples until the whole bal
rel is TILED, when the barrel is headed ard kept
In cool place until spring, coming cut sound
and intact. This plan should keep russets and
other varieties liable 10 sbrivel, and those
wishing to keep apples as late as possible and
having no fruit house, may find this plan val
liable There will be no loss in the plaster for
. will be worth all it costs and more for SOW

outcast of a few years ago. The
Democracy Of Vermont have al
ways lived in courageous hope

They number about one-third of
the voters of the State, but their
vote falters not. This corn-stalk
or cabbage-stalk has dropped a
branch, like that of the banyan
tree, in Vermont. 1t is there to
stay and grow. Another banyan
tree branch from that corn-stalk
or cabbage stalk has dropped and
taken root in Maine. The corn
stalk currency that was abused
has stalked from the land of the
orange and the palm to the land
of the hemlock and the pine, from
the Mississippi to the Penobscot,
from the Lakes to the Gulf. The
rags" and ''cabbage-leaves" that
were doomed to death are now
in this country to stay. We are
proud of the "baby." AS the Ohio
