At a recent meeting of the Kentucky State
Horticultural society an old member told how
forty years ago the farmers used to keep
apples fresh and crisp until June Their
mode was to put the fruit up in banks, just as
many now save sweet potatoes in the south
At time of harvest "A spot of high, well
drained land was selected upon which to bank
the apples. Here was scoopcd out a sort o..
saucer shaped bottom, upon which, after
covering with an inch or 50 of straw, wa:
piled the apples, covering the same with some
six or eight inches of straw, and then witt
enough earth to keep out the frost not unlre-
quently, however, covering the whole with L
layer OF sOds to protect the same from wash
ing a hole was opened on the south side OF
the bank during the winter when apples were
required, as much fruit taken ont rs was
needed and the hole closed up secure as be

is gone and nearly ripen before 1t is necessary

be raised and bloomed in the house by potting
them about an inch apart and keeping them
in a cool dark place to make roots, and after

There is a common fish in some of our
streams and waters, a bony, worthless crea-
ture that is sometimes called carp. Don't
be misled by that, but get only the German
carp, the genuine yacob' The real carp is
of the gold fish family. There are three
species, the scale, the mirror and the leather.
The latter is that shown in the illustration. 1t
is called the "leather' carp, not because it is
tough but because its skin is soft and scale
less.
There is a government publication called
"Carp aud Carp Ponds, which is also to be

Hyacinths.
The most desirable of the spring blooming
bulbs are byacmths, tulips, the crocus and
narcissus and snowdrop. 1t is not yet too
late to plant any OF them in the open ground
to bloom next spring. 1t must be done be-
fore the ground freezes.
The hyarinths will lie the first favorite.
Their variety is infinite Beg spare bulbs
from your neighbors, or buy them from re
liable florist, leaving him to select the kinds.
Have the hyacinth bed dug deep and thor
oushly enriched with well-rotted barnyari
manure set the bulbs six to eight inches
apart and four inches underground. Mingle
the earth beneath the bulbs with little dry
sand In the north and northwest "A covering
of leaves or straw should lie put over the
bed at the approach of the coolest weather
and allowed to remain till the plants peep
through in spring Plant different kinds to-
gether in the bed, so there will be contrast
of color. Some of the hyacinths are SO deep
a purple as to be nearly black. They range
through the shades of red and blue. There
are also white ones.

The illustration shows two fine single hya-

The hyacinth is favorite flower for fore
ing into winter blooming. The white Roman
hyacinth can be brought into bloom by
Christmas. When the flowers are wanted to
bloom in winter and early spring, NickS'
Magazine says each bulb should he set in n
five-incb pot, with the soil just coming to its
neck Water with fine spray nozzle and
put in dark cool, though not cold place for
six weeks or two months. BY that time the
roots will be developed Give them Il little
water from time to time if they are dry.
Turn out the hall of earth carefully to see if
the roots have filled it. When they have
done so, bring your hyacinth into the light
and to "A slightly warmer place 1t does not
want u be too warm. Then it will bloom
bounteously and fill the air with fragrance.
To bloom the bulbs in vases OF water
hyacinth glasSes-the water should just
reach the base of the bulb, and, as before
the bulbs should then be set in COOL dark
place until they have sent their roofs TO the
bottom of the vase.
After the bulbs ported in earth have been
forced once, they will bloom again after Il

OUR MICHIGAN LETTER.
70 He Editor of Me ,Ne,rS:,

To He Editor of Ne Ne,rs:-
 Election is over, and after big effort and liberal expenditure of money where it would do the most good, (and money is the great factor in our elect ions) the country is saved. Living in republican state, republican congress- ional district, q republican county but in a democratic city the writer is not much of politician, but is able to say what but few men of his years can assert to wit; that casting his first ballot in Niles at the first state election iu Nov ember 1886, fifty years ago, he has never failed to vote at every election since that time, having never been sick or absent from home on election day. How many men who became electors 50 years ago, can say that they have never miss ed a vote?
 Judging from what the Conncc ticut Western News says, the weather has been colder in New England than ln the west Up to this time we have en- joyed delightful autumn weather; have had but few frosts. The first frost, hard enough to kill vegetation, occurred the night of October %, for until that time everything was fresh and green, | few leaves on the trees had changed color: even tho leaves on the Buckeye, (a very tender tree) were as green as ln July, but since the severe frost on the morning of October 30, all is changed and tho forest trees are losing their foliage although our weather still con- tinues bright and pleasant. We have had truly delightful fall, which has been we'll utilized by our farmers, who have most of the work of the season completed, only few of the slack ones, have not finished corn husking.
 Corn is q very light crop, and has been heretofore predicted by your Michigan correspondent But corn bears better proportionate price than wheat, which is our great leading staple. | Corn in the ear brings 40 cents per bushel in this market while wheat only brings the farmer 72 cents per bushel, at which price they are very reluctant to sell, an immenco quantity is held back by the farmers they hoping for an advance in price, and it IS feared with little prospect. The great event of the past few weeks has been the tri-ennial session of the Protestant Episcopal Church Council which convened in Chicago in October remaining in session three weeks. This body had never before met so far west. A good deal of interest was excited by the large body of able and distinguished men composing the Council, as well as by the subjects which were brought before them for discussion, of vital inn portance to the church in the United States There was large attendance of outsiders. all eager to see and hear the men of eloquence and note who took part in the discussions, and all were en. thusiastic in their expressions of sat. isfaction of what they saw and heard. l k.

 We clip from the New Brunswick News the following tribute to the memory of Rev Abram Baldwin of that place, whose death was referred to last week: "The New Brunswick Presbytery in the death of Rev Abram F. Baldwin has lost one of it's most earnest and faithful workers and the Church of Christ one of its highest ornaments, and one who 'shun- ned not to declare the whole counsel of God while in manner sweet and per suasive in his fearless eXpositions of gos- pei truth there was no uncertain sound. He loved to preach the gospel and his love for his profession was undyipg. During the weary and trying months of | his wasting disease the only murmur that escaped his lips was that he could no longer hold up the banner of the cross and witness for the truth as 1t is in Jesus In the calm serenity of the closing part of his life was manifest, however. to those most intimately asso- ciated with him his quiet acquiescence to the divine will and his peaceful, tri- umphant death.-the crowniug victory that overcometh.
