Keeping Winter Apples.

A writer in the RuraL Ncw Yorker
says: That water Is not injurious TO
the keeping Of apples even when act
ually in contact with them. is shown
by the fact that they keep perfectly
well Oh the ground under leaves all
winter. A friend Of mine living in
Montreal says that seeing some very
fine Fameuscs exposed for sale in
that city, he inquired how they were
kept. He learned they were part Of
the cargo Of canal boat which had
sunk in the canal and frozen in before
it could be raised. When this was
effected in the spring, it was found
that the cargo Of apples, which would
not have kept longer than January
in the air, had been preserved perfect
~ in water. An old custom Of bury
ing apples in the ground the same as
roots, for winter storage, also demon
strates that moisture in contact with
apples does not necessarily cause rot
ting. In Russia ! understand that
apples are preserved in tight barrels
with water, in the way Uracticed in
this country with cranberries. On
the other hand, apples keep perfectly
in dry cellars, as many fruit growers
can testify. What then is the essen
tial requisite for the safe winter keep
ing Of this fruit? Simply. believe,
the preservation Of low uniform
temperature as near the freezing
point Of water as possible. This can
be maintained in dry cellars, but
much more easily and perfectly, !
think, in wet ones. The presence Of
water has controlling power over
the variations Of temperature near the
freezing point, as all know who have
had TO keep water in a cold cellar to
keep it from freezing. The moisture
does no harm TO the apples.

Success with Late Planted Corn.

A. u Allen IN Tribune
For soilng stock and supplying my
table with green corn the past season,
| began TO plant the last week in
April, and so continued to the 23rd
Of July. The last patch was the
Evergreen Sweet. This was done in
rows four feet apart, and the kernels
dropped three inches apart in the
row. The rows ran north and south,
and | made them this distance apart
in order to let the sun well in during
September and October, which ]
thought would be much better for the
growth of the crop than if closer
together. | preferred drills instead
of hills, as | did not expect the corn
planted so late could produce good
ears, but would answer we'll for soil.
ing. September 9th the corn began
TO tassel, on the 18th, TO silk. then
commenced cutting for soiling, the
stalks generally were five to nearly
seven feet high. Some few ears were
well filled by October l6, and were
picked for the table. No doubt
should have had many more at this
time had the corn been planted in
hills three feet apart or so in the
rows, instead of the kernels being
drilled in only three inches apart.
The latest stalks left for soiling re-
NAMED green till November |. This
shows how easy it is to grow corn for
soiling from the lst of July (when |
began this season to cut for that pur-
pose), on to November, four months,
in the latitude of about 400, where |
have my summer residence. One thus
obviates the want of pasture for stock
in summer or autumn drouth. Corn
is the most reliable of all feed at this
time, for if properly cultivated it will
grow sufficiently for soiling, however
dry the season may prove.

" Stock Poor

Many n farmer is kept poor by
keeping too much stock, says the
Massachusetts, Pioughman. He would
be prosperous if the stock was of the
right kind. 1t does not pay to keep
cows through the winter that are dry
pretty much all the time. 1t does
not pay to keep over a lot of lean
and fractions steers in the expectation
that they will make good working
cattle 10y waiting long enough. All
such animals should be sold to those
who have more food in store than
their present poor owners. Good
stock-superior stock-pays for itself
all the time. A herd of cows is we'll
worth wintering that will pay in milk
and butter many times more than the
cost of their keep. No other kind
ought, therefore, to he allowed on a
farm. When COWS show beyond a
question that they cannot give milk
enough nor milk good enough to pay
for their support and yield a liberal
profit besides, it is time they were
disposed of on almost any terms that
will clear them of the farm. Itis the
same with all creatures that are an
encumbrance on the farm instead of a
profit; let them be put off without de-
lay, and let the so-called sentiment in
the case be eradicated by healthier
considerations of what constitutes
thrifty and profitable farming. The
farmer owes it to himself to clean out
everything that is trash and worthless,
and begin and build up on sound
basis. The more poor stock he keeps
the poorer he is In consequence him.

Prospects Of the Wheat Market.

W. +. Ford, the statistician Of
Brddstrcct's, has made a careful esti-
mate Of the wheat crop of 1850 and
has arrived at the conclusion that, in
spite Of an apparent surplus of 27,-
100000 bushels over the worlds
needs, prices probably will be well
maintained. The gross yield of this
country has been 5,649, 900 bushels,
OF which l9O,OOO,OOO bushels will be
available for export. The countries
most noticeably short are Great Brit
ain, 2O,OOO,OOO; France, 81, 900, 900;
Germany, 2O,OOO,oOO; Holland and
Belgium, $500, 900, and Italy, Swift
zcrland, Spain and Portugal, together
about 100000. The remaining
European States have small surpluses,
the greatest, Austria Hungary, reach.
ing about 20,00O,000 bushels, while
in no other case does the excess 90
above 100000 bushels. Russia is
credited with n surplus of 100000
bushels but even this triiling amount
is more apparent than real, since n
very large import Of rye and Indian
corn will be necessary to make good
the failure in these staple crops. AL
together, our market prospects are
fair.

Care Of Harness.

The Harness Journal has very
useful article on this subject, which
we condcnsc as follows: A harness
that has been upon a horses back
several hours in hot or rainy weather
becomes wet; if not properly cleaned,
the damage TO the leather is irrepair-
able. II, after being taken from the
horse in this condition, it is hung up
in careless manner. traces and rcins
twisted into knots. and the saddle and
bride hung askcw, the leather when
dried retains the shape given it while
wet, and when forced TO its original
form, damage is done the stitching
and the leather.
The first point to be observed is to
keep the leather soft and pliable
this can be done only by keeping it
we'll charged with oil and grease
water is n destroyer of these. but
mud aud the saline moisture from the
animal are even more destructive.
Mud, in drying, absorbs the grease
and opens the pores of the leather,
making it prey to water, while the
salty character Of the perspiration
from the animal Injuries the leather,
stitching and mountings. 1t there
fore follows that, TO preserve har-
ness, the straps should be washed and
oiled whenever it has been moistcned
by sweat or soiled by mud. If
harness is thoroughly cleaned twice a
year, and when unduly exposed,
treated as we have recommended. the
leather will retain its softncss and
strength for many years.

Profit from Hens.

Poultry-keeping is properly a
branch of farming, and has many
times proven more profitable than
any other branch. The production
OF eggs is very profitable if properly
managed. BY raising early chicks,
Matching them, say in March or April,
the pullets will commence to lay in
October, and by providing comfort
able winter quarters, with the right
kind of feed, will lay all winter.
Any respectable hen will lay on an
average of one hundred and fifty
eggs per year, which at the low aver
age price of seventeen cents per doz-
en-, will yield n profit of not less
than one dollar besides the carcass,
worth half as much more. In order
to have the best success, however,
the stock should be kept in good
health, and improved from year to
year by the addition of new and fresh
blood to the flock. Perhaps nothing
will contribute more to success with
poultry than the adoption of sys-
tenn of rules, based upon the expert
ence OF those who have been long in
the business. We quote on another
page of the DEMOCRAT series pre-
pared by Mr.. G.. o. Brown, of the
Montrose Poultry Yards, at Brook
landville, Nd, and by him contrib
uted to the American Farmer.

Keeping Lard Sweet.

the different papers how few persons
know that in order to keep lard

all watery substance and gives the
lard rich delicious flavor, besides
making It more solid. To mako 1t
