Preserving Apples.

A correspondent of the Rural New Yorker
writes that he has tested the method sug-
gested in agricultural papers of keeping APP
paper for two successive years, and finds it
to be a perfect success. The plan pursued
was to take old newspapers, cut them into
pieces of sufficient size, and wrap each ap-
pie by itself and pack them away carefully
in barrels or boxes, so as to exclude the air.
The variety selected was the Nothern Spy,
and this year, as late as the 14th of August,
they were still fresh and crisp, and he had
no doubt they might have been kept much
longer, had not the temptation to eat them
been SO strong.

SeaSonable Hints.

Among the hint, most seasonable on eithe-
the garden or the farm, few things are more
serviceable than those relating to the sharp
ening of tools. Too often these things are not
needed much thought ofuntil the articles are
when much valuable time is lost in putting
in order what might as well have been done
during the dull winter days. Even the
smartest of us do not thinh enough of these
things, and indeed, hardly know how much
we lose by having dull tools to work with
1t has been tolerably accurately computed
that the same man can do as much in two
days with sharp scythe as with one but
comparatively dull and the same expendi-
ture of force could do in three. And it is
just the same in regard to all other tools or
implements, whether operated by hand,
steam or horsepower. The engineer con-
tinually oils the machinery, and good saw
or file is oil to hand implements. We know
one who has a great deal of hand-hoeing to
do by hired labor, and he believes that the
continued use of the file on the hoes makes
a difference of nearly one. half in the labor
His calculation is that every ten-cent file he
buys saves him ten dollars in his laborers'
bills. Now is the time to look after spades,
scythes, hoes, chisels, saws, etc.
A good grindsione and set of files are
among the best of farm investments, espec-
tally at this season. 1t is always nice to be
forehanded, to get things well ahead; but
the best of all forehandedness is that which
prepares in advance full set of good and
well-repaired tools to work with.-German-

A Good Prescription.

Farmer, which we reproduce for the benefit
of her sister farmeresses, but fear that not
many of them will give her medicine fair
trial.
''My health has been poor for some time,
and last Spring our family physician ordered
outdoor exercise, and recommended garden
ing as healthy and pleasant. My husband
plowed up half an acre Of ground near the
house, and was told / could exercise ON it
as much as | wanted to. l said / would take
the whole of it, but no one believed could
or would do it. But went to work, raked
and pulverized and trimmed up, laid it off in
divisions running the whole length, and
planted sweet corn, cabbage, peas, beans,
onions, etc. My son plowed the crops twice
with shovel plow, and the rest 1 have
done myself; and a cleaner, more thrifty
garden cannot be found. My sweet corn
planted very early, and with watering occa-
sionally during the dry weather, i grew
wonderfully, and l had corn to- send to mar
ket among the first. / sold twelve dollars
worth, and we ate as much as we wanted.
sold three dollars worth of beets, two dol
lars worth of onions, and three dollars
worth Of beans and peas, making in all TWEEN
ty dollars so far, and l expect to get at least
five dollars more for cabbage. Ny husband
says it has been the most profitable half acre
of the farm, for the improvement in my
health is worth the product of many acres.
believe l could make one hundred dollars
from an acre next year, and | mean to try
it. 1 did not work in the garden, recollect,
only mornings and evenings, as a rule.
