swept away like chafE The battery was
quickly captured, and when the guns

Picking and Keeping Apples.

Stephen Belts, a well known fruit
grower Of Bucks county, Penn, said in
a recent essay before his county society:
We think the time to pick apples is
from the 18th Of October to the 10th Of
November. This may seem too late To
some; but our experience Is that apples
left on trees late keep much better aud
are hetter favored than those picked
earlier. We have reference now to
cider and Ridge PippiD apples; Bald
wins would have ~ be picked a month
earlier, or else they would fall to the
ground. Russets. probably, should be
picked apOut the 10Th OF October. Wine
sap apples ought to be left out about as
long rs they will remain on the trees.
For keeping apples in an ordinary eel
lar, il is well To have the bottom OF the
bin eight or ten inches from the floor I;
keep doors or windows open as long as
II does not freeze much in the cellar, for
we may let it freeze a little without
injury; but when we are compelled to
close the celler tight there should be
some means of ventilation. Probably
board flue placed in the window on
either side and extending above ground
two or three feet higher than the first
floor, would be as cheap an arrange
ment ss could he adapted To the common
cellar. We would prefer a fiue, for we
cannot always be at home to open
and shut windows or doors to suit
the weather.

Putting Away Potatoes.

Every method has been tried sfy farm

until potatoes come again. It is the

writer who undertakes TO tell us of its
unwhOlssomeness. It is universally
consumed in all civilized countries, as
where It cannot be grown IL Is imported,
which can he done long distances with
out injury when ventilation is attended
to. In storing potatoes, several methods
are adopted, yet they are all practically
the same, the object being to protect
them against freezing, whether buried
ia pits or stored in cellars. The first
consideration is TO keep them in perfect
darkness the next 10, the bins should
not be too deep-not over three feet-to
produce warmth and cause them TO
sprout. When stored in the field,
straight trenches are dug, say twenty
feet in length and four or five wide,
which are filled TO the depth Of three
feet with potatoes, then well covered
with straw, on top Of which put eighteen
or twenty inches Of earth. Ia a Dit
twenty feet long there should be about
three gas escapes or ventilating open
ings, which should be plugged with
straw and covered with a board set at
an angle 10 turn the rain. II i'm cellars,
barn or otherwise, the bins should be
covered with rugs, old carpetings or
straw. Those intended TO be kept for
late Spring sales should be frequently
examined aud ali sprouts removed, for
as soon as a potato begins to sprout, IL
loses its solidity, dryness aud quality

The sooner the youth OF this country
are compelled by the scope aud tendency
~ our public school system TO recognize
that only one boy in hundred can be
LAWYER, doctor or clergy man, the better
il will be for the American people. To
that end, 1t is essential that our methods
of training shall cease IN foster the silly
and abortive preference for so-called
gentlemanly pursuits-shsll squsrely

WISE SAVINGS OF JEWISH sAeEs :

WISE SAYINGS OF JEWISH SAGES -
The path of duty in this world is the
road to salvation in the next.
Who is powerful? He who eau con-
troll his passion. Who is rich? He
who is contented with what he has.
Charity is the salt Of riches.
Blessed be he who gives to the poor,
albeit only penny ; dOubly blessed be
he who adds kind words to his gift.
Associate not with the wicked man,
even II thou canst learn from him.
He who denies his guilt doubles his
guilt.
This is the penalty Of the liar; he il
not believed when he tells the truth.
IL is sin TO deceive thy fellOw-man,
be he Jew or Gentle.
Be the first to hold out the hand Of
peace.
Improve thyself, then try to improve
others.
Beautiful are the admOnitiODs OF him
whose life aeeOrds with his teachings.
The wicked whilst alive are like dead
the righteous after death are still
alive.-EbcstsiOr.

To Kill sOrel and Clean Gravel Walks

recently made discovery which think

keep free from weeds, OF which sorrel
was the most persistent. The fingers
and hoe might free the gravel from this
pest to-day and in two weeks the walks
would be again covered with il. THIS
method Of wedding was too costly, and
remembering al old plan Of my fathers,
purchased two bags Of cheap salt, and
gave the walks liberal dressing Of IL
There were sOrrel, chickweed, purslane,
plautain, crab grass, sO-called, of vsri-
Gus kinds, ragweed, aud Others of which
! knew not the names. The sorrel was
the first To succumb the chickweed
followed; the crab grass and ragweed,
and some grass spread from the lawn,
mainly blue grass and white clover,
were uninjured till | doubled the dose
then every green thing gave in, aud
the walks were clean. The fact as to
the sOrrel prompted me to try salt on
portions of the lawn Overrun with il.
The effect was gratifying. a dressing
which just made the place white as
though hOsr frost was upon il, killed
all the sorrel but left the grass uninjured.
