Fruit Cellars.

La order to keep fruit, several
conditions are important. Ia the
first place, The atmosphere Of
fruit room should be dry, there
should be no more dampness than
ordinarylyexists in the cold outside
air. The room should be sus.
cePtible OF ventilation in proper
weather, not by direct currents
Of air but 10y ar modified before
it reaches tie fruit. A fruit room
must be frost proof; it must be
clearly and accessible. As re-
CARDS location, it may be placed
on side bill, the excavation
opening TO the south; or it may
be placed under a barn or stable,
or other convenient out building.
Thsn years ago we constructed
a fruit cellar under our stable,
and It has proved SO satisfactory
that we venture to give a brief
description Of it. The division
walls are constructed Of brick,
and the apartmentS are two in
number, al outer and inner room
The outer room is but partly un-
foreground, and is ten by twelve
in area, and eight feet high The
inner roomis wholly underground,
and irost-proof; it has four brick
walls aud a cemented floor. In
this room the fruit is stored early
In December, when the weather
becomes cold. The outer room
holds tho fruit during the autumn
months after it is gathered, and is
cool, well lighted and dry. The
windows are lef. open and free
circulation Of air allowed SO long
as no danger from frost exists
When the fruit is taken TO the in
ner room, the door is closed and DC
light admitted. Ventilation is Sc
cured in moderate weather BY
opening The inner door and
throwing down a window in the
outer room. In this cellar we
kept apples Of last season s growth
.untR the winter, in perfect condi-
ton. Some OF these apples. eX-
hibited at the autumnal agricul
tural fairs, were pronounced as
fresh as thosa of last seasons
growth.-BoStoa journal Of

The farmers in Switzerland
consider liquid manure as the
most eificacious of any, and hence
after the manure is iermented
they dilute it IN water, and the
LIQUID alone is carried to the field,
aud scattered over it. The earth
immediately inbibes the liquid,
which soon reaches the roots OF
the plants and causes a rapid veg
citation. The Straw that remains
after the manure has been washed
is applied as manure for potatoes.

AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter of a century, and have
obtained worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best pllysic for children. By
their aperient action they gripe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not infamed.
They reach the vital fountains Of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness,
2 Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may

being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use IN any quantity.
