Storing AppIes.

The old ladies' rule for picking apples in the
dark of the moon in October may be the best.
At any rate, he who has apples not yet picked
will do well to attend to it at once, before a
storm, or bad weather comes An exchange has
the following bit of experience that may be a
valuable hint to some of orr readers:
'.Apples never sweat, but moisture eondenses
on them dew upon grass. Fruit should lie
carefully gathered soon ripe, when the
weather is dry and warm: should never be
handled when wet; and must not be bruised nor
chafed in the least. The natural waxy secretion
found on fruit is protection against the effects
of moisture and air. When the skin is deprived
of this protection. or is broken by pressure, or
even by a puncture of pin (made in labelling
fruit at our fairs, as is often done,) the oxygen
of the air will attain TO the juices of the
fruit, and fermentation and decay will result.
Gathered as above described. and carried direct
IL To the cellar when the fruit is warm and dry,
and packed in barrels bins, the atmosphere
being cool, the vapor in it will not cOndense,
and no dew will be on the fruit, as will he
the case when the apples coolor than the
cellar air. Forty years or more ago thus stored
eight barrels of Roxbury Russets in my cellar as
soon as gathered, and laid the barrels on the
bilge, and when opened, on the Sth of July, not
an apple was specked, while the remainder,
gathered in an ordinary way, harreled and stored
in the barn (as was then said, to sweat,) during
the changes of heat in November till cold wealth
er, and then stored in the cellar rotted badly by
the middle of Nav.

Winter Dairying.

The better class of livers in the United States
are beginning TO demand good fresh butter, in
stead of the sailed article which has hitherto
been eaten through the winter months. In con-
sequence, those farmers who try TO please the
palate by producing a sweet, tty-tasting COM
modify, will reap their reward by receiving a
remunerating price. Setting aside fancy prices,
it is certain that good fair rate will always be
paid for butter which can he depended upon TO
come to hand weekly in uniform quality. The
best butter-maker in the United States fails nm
less the cows fed properly, therefore there
must be the right sort of food. The hay should
he made from grass cut when in bloom, and
this alone will do, but some corn meal and wheat
bran will increase the cream and add To the rich
flavor of the butter. Also the of carrots will
cause a greater flow of milk, and there will be
then the peculiarly fresh taste which character
ICES butter when in good pasture in
June. Of course, comfortable stabling, cleanli-
ness and exercise in a sheltered yard will he

their calves in September, or thereabouts, and
the heifer calves from all good mixers should he
raised, which can be done on the skinned milk.
In the autumn there is no forage or food of any
kind better for milch cows a help to failing

Suggestions to Shippers of Produce.

Shippers of produce should invariably send to
the receiver by mail detailed invoice with the
goods, especially if there be any instructions as
TO price of holding, frequently goods arrive in
advance of the mails.
All packages should be labelled with the name
or shipping mark of the shipper.
Such articles are to be sold by weight should
have the gross weight and tare marked on each
package. If to he sold by count, the number
should be marked on each package
If more than one kind of article be packed in
one package, the same should he plainly desig-
mated on the label, or by mark.
Care should be observed in packing butter 50
as to have quality and color uniform as possi-
BILE, and to use only packages which are as clean
as possible, and Undesirable size and form. Ship
pers will generally find il advantageous to for
ward butter to market whenever ready, without
delaying for larger amounts as the chances for
quick sale and desirable prices are lessened by
holding back until the freshness and flavor have
been impaired; if but single package, forward
without delay to your commission merchant.
All articles should be packed with a view to
reaching market in the most attractive and best
condition.
1t does not follow that the choicest quality of
produce from any particular section which can
be produced or procured in that section, is equal
ces of supply and realizing higher quotations.
Especially does this apply 10 butter, apples,
fruits of various kinds etc.
Generally speaking, it pays best to ship the
best quality of goods in the best condition, on
which the freight is no greater than on poorer
articles, and which find sale on a well supplied
market, when inferior quality is either wholly
neglected OF only saleable at relatively very
low prices.

Mseful aud Curious.
Vinegar from Cider.

Cider is so cheap this season that farmers who
study economy will be likely to make their own
vinegar. The process of manufacture Is very
simple. The best vessel 10 use in making vine
gar is barrel in which hard cider or vinegar
has been stored. If a new barrel is employed, it
should be thoroughly rinsed ont, a gallon or
more of hot vinegar poured in, allowed to soak
into the wood. The presence of a small amount
of old vinegar will canse the contents of the YES
sci To aeidify more rapidly. The barrel in which
vinegar is made should not lie entirely full of
cider. 1t is best to leave a space equal TO about
one-third of the capacity Of the vessel The bung
of the barrel should be left ont, and the vessel
placed on its side about foot from the hoor In
order to increase the circulation of air. it is well
TO bore hole in each end Of the barrel n few
inches from the chime. uniform temperature
of about 80 degrees is most favorable TO the rapid
making of vinegar. This may cftcn be conye-
niently obtained by placing the vessel back Of
the stove in the cooking room. Sometimes a loft
over the kitchen can be employed for the manu-
faeture of a considerable amount of vinegar du-
ring the winter. If stovepipe runs through
the room, the requisite temperature may be OBJ
tanned without extra expense.
The process Of changing the cider TO vinegar
may be hastened by occasionally rolling the bar
rels from side to side. Cider TO which mustard
seed, horse-radish, and sulphite of lime have
been added with view of keeping it sweet can
not I've converted into vinegar. 1t is not neces-
sary TO have hard cider in order to manufacture
vinegar. 1t may be made to good advantage
from juice just from the apples. Ii is customary
to allow the new cider TO remain a week or two
it open tubs OF barrels from which one head has
been removed before placing it it the barrel that
is to serve as a vinegar generator. During this
time il passes through the vinous fermentation
and is tolerably clear If it is strained before it
is put in the generating barrel, an accumulation
| of sediment may be prevented. BY iltering cider
through animal charcoal or bOne-black the VIM
egar made from it will be nearly colorless. By
adding little burnt sugar caramel dark
colored vinegar may be obtained. Vinegar of
very fine flavor can be manufactured only from
the juice Of sound, well-havOred apples. The
taste of acetc acid, which is the sour principle
of vinegar, is not pleasant. 1t requires to be
modified by the natural acids and other substan-
ces ofagreeable flavor that are contained in fruits
