The Late Apple Crop.

Manipulating should always be resorted to-
especially with winter apples else the fruit will
not keep long or present a saleable appearance
when laid down in the market for sale Some
few varieties ripen irregularly, and should be
gathered accordingly. In many cases the later
varieties of apples should be left on until late
SO as to fully color up, when they should be
specked ones being taken. A bag, with two of
the extreme corners drawn nearly together and
sluug over the right shoulder and hanging un-
der the left arm, is the most convenient thing
to pick in, as it is readily used either on the
tree or when the picker stands on a ladder
When the bag is full the apples are carefully
emptied into baskets conveniently near, and
the bag filled again. When the fruit is picked
convey 1t to the fruit room, which should be a
cool, dry and dark place, where it should remain
until the time arrives for packing. While pick
ing, keep the apples in the shade after they are
picked and before they are removed to the fruit
room. While some persons, new to the business,
do not think it makes much difference if the
fruit is a little mixed, we have found it always
best to keep the varieties separate and to mar
ket them the same way, even though the guam
tity be small And this is why we have advo-
Gated, continually, planting but few varieties,
and those the best, for when the trees come into
bearing you will have enough of each sort to
make fair marketing, which would not be the
case if many varieties and but few trees of each
variety were planted. In packing apples they
should not be barreled until they are free from
moisture or dampness on the outside, else they
will soon decay, become damaged or unsaleable
The barrel should be filled rather more than
even full, and the head pressed into place with
q screw and appliance for the purpose. By this
bruised in handling the barrels in transporta-

PACKING BUTTER FOR WNTER.-"Mrs. w
Summit Park, Colorado.-To pack butter for
winter, begin when the weather is COOL and the
butter can be kept hard. Free the butter from
milk by repeated washings with cold spring
and set the butter away for twenty -four hours.
Then rework, getting all the milky brine away,
and add one-fourth as much salt as before, to
replace the waste. Then pack closely in layers
two inches thick, in clean, new white oak tubs
or pals, which have been scalded or soaked in
brine. When the tub is full to the top, cover
the butter with piece of muslin dipped in cold
water and covered with salt. Fasten the cover
and put away in O dry, cool cellar.

four years, and thought that would do. The
