KEEPING APPLES.

We frequently hear complaint as to
the keeping, or not keeping, of this
fruit; that it does not keep as in
former years. The trouble is III the
places where apples are placed to be
kept. One man remarked that his
apples did not keep well and he did
not know the reason; but when ask
ed where he stored them, replied in
his house cellar, where there was a
furnace and no brick partitions to
prevent the heat from going over the
cellar. One cannot expect to keep
any fruit for long time in such an
atmosphere.
1t is safe to say that fruit, and es-
pecially apples, will keep better when
put in a cool, dark and rather moist
at1nosphere-thec cooler the better, if
only the frost is kept out 1t is not
easy to secure such conditions in
modern house cellars where are found
furnace fires. The nearest approach
to such a condition may be obtained
by bricking off a fruit room and
keeping the cellar windows open, ex-
cept in the very coolest weather.
Those who will be at the expense
and pains to do this may obtain fair
results. Care must be exercised that
the frost does not get in, though it
does not destroy apples to freeze
them, provided always they are not
disturbed at all when in the frozen
condition. 1t is better that they
should not be frozen. By proper
care fall apples may be kept until
nearly spring, and winter apples I'M
til the following May or June Con
regatiOnalist.

Guardian Notice.

STATE OF VERMONT. Caledonia District. S.
In Probate Court, held at st. Johnsbury, in
said District, the 3oth day of January,
A. ID. 1889.
Lorenzo Warren guardian of Alkaline E.
AIlard of Sutton, insane person, makes
application to said Court for license to sell
the whole of the real estate of her said ward,
to wit: One hundred and thirty acres of land,
more or less, with buildings thereon, situated
in Sutton aforesaid. and twenty of
land more less situated in Newark, Yer
mont. Representing that sale thereof, for
the purpose of putting the proceeds of such
sale remaining after the payment of debts
at interest or investing the in stocks
or real estate would be beneficial to said
ward:
Whereupon it is ordered by said Court,
that said application be referred to session
thereof to be held at the Probate Office, in
said St Jofnsbury, on the 9th day of Febru-
airy, A D. 1889. for hearing and decision
thereon: and it is further ordered that all
persons interested be notified hereof, by pub
iication of notice of said application and
order thereon, three weeks successfully in
the Californian, printed at st. Johnsbury,
before said time of hearing, that they may
appear at said time and place. and, if they
see cause, object thereto.

sheep, with our rich fields, as it would
be to discard the use of the highways
which our fathers built and take to
the by-ways and horseback trans
portatlon.
Some time, when few more farms
are deserted in New Hampshire, per-
haps it will pay to get some of the
mountain sheep of the Scotch and
Welsh mountains to stock them
with, but on cultivated land, where
markets are handy, and early matur-
ity in every way is so desirable, it
would be more wise to breed rabbits
and have done with it.
SOME RESULTS.
You ask me to give some figures as
to our profits and results with our
flock Now it seems to me that this
will not be profitable to your read
ers, and can only be valuable as Cos
sip, as we keep a high-priced sheep
and spare no pains in selecting on
the other side. For instance: Our
1887 importation was 10 ewes Sc
lected by the secretaries of the Shrop-
shire society from the flock which
took the first prizes in both 1887 and
1888, at the Royal show, and a
shearling buck from the oldest flock
in England The buck alone took
$1O4 in cash prizes at our shows this
fall, and the ewes fairly earned me
$50, besides their prizes this year.
Now the ordinary farmer will not do
this. He will invest perhaps $25 to
$40 in a pure-bred buck, and raise
grades; then it is wool and mutton
alone on which he must depend.
A neighbor of mine breeds i'll that
way. He keeps 40 native ewes, with
a Shropshire ram; has his lambs
come early; manages to have two
COWS fresh in milk about the time his
lambs come, to nurse with, and
pushes them all he can; sells the best
in April and May, and the rest for
the 18th of July. He is also saving
each year his best eve lambs to keep
up his breeding flock, which will
greatly improve. Last year his gross
receipts were $40 for each eve Win
tered, and his only extra expense was
the care of his lambs so far as the
milk was concerned which would be
equivalent to the use of two COWS for
two months in the height of their
season, and five bushels of crushed
oats; so cents per eve would certain
ly cover his extra expense, and his
extra revenue was upwards of So
each.
The summing up of the whole claim
can be put in few words: The first
is, early maturity an essential in
high farming; then comes the excel
lence of the mothers and their pro-
likeness; the quality of wool and its
compactness, shutting out all storm;
their general hardness, and good di-
gestion; quiet disposition, and their
good name among breeders, feeders
and butchers

THE GATHERING HOME

They are gathering homeward from every
One by one;
As their weary feet touch the shining strand,
One by one,
Their brows are inclosed in golden crown.
Their travel-stained garments are all laid
down.
And clothed in white raiment they rest on
the mead
Where the Lamb Ioveth his chosen to lead,
One by one
Before they rest they pass through the strife
One by one,
Through the waters of death they enter life
One by one
To some are the floods of the river still,
As they ford on their way to the heavenly
hill:
To others the waves run fiercely and wild,
Yet they reach the home of the indebted
One by one.
We too shall come to the river side
One by one.
We are nearer its waters each eventide.
One by one
We can hear the noise and dash of the stream
Now and again through our life's deep dream
Sometimes the floods all the banks overflow
Sometimes in ripples and small waves go
One by
Jesusl Redeemeri we look to Thee,
One by one,
We lift up voices tremblingly,
One by one.
The waves of the river dark and cold,
We know not the space where our feet may
hold;
Thou who didst pass through in deep mid
night,
Strengthen us-send the staff and the light,
One by one.
Plant Thou thy feet beside us; we tread
One by
On Thee let us lean each dropping head,
One by one
Let but Thy strong arm around us be twined,
We shall cast all fears and cares to the
wind
Saviori Redeemerl with Thee full in view,
Smiingly, gladsomely, shall we pass through,
One by one.

AMERICA,s RICHEST FARMER.

The richest farmer in America is
said to be President Webb, of the
New York Central sleeping car com
pany. His farm on the shores of
Lake Champaign is conducted on
scientific principles. President Webb
maintains it for the pleasure he has
in his fancy cattle, poultry, etc. 1t
may not be generally known to trav-
oilers, but it is fact that the sur
plus butter product of the Webb dali
ry, to which none but Jersey cattle
contribute, is disposed of to the Van
derbilts for use on their dining cars,
and it is sold to them for precisely
the price that is paid for firkin but
ter, though prominent caterers have
offered double prices for all that they
could obtain. Butter from DIR.
Webb's famous farm is classed with
the diamond edged variety and re-
tails at 81 per pound.

BEsT WAY TO FILL 4 CHURCH.

The best way to keep a church
full. said DIR. Van Dyke of the Brick
church, New York, the other day,
when referring to the complaint that
the masses do not attend religious
services, is for every church member
to attend regularly every service.
That will help. Then let every men,
Der bring as many people as possible
with him. Draw them in. There is
a great deal of nOnSensical talk now
adays about getting ministers that
will draw. A man came up to my
study the other day from one of the
churches near Murray Hill that is
vacant. and he said, 1 wish you could
recommend us a minister for our
church. | said, Il can recommend a
dozen He seemed rather bluffed at
that, thought that was a large num-
Der, and said, Won't YOU suggest a

Finally he said, well, what we want
In our church Is minister that will

what you want Is a church that will

congregations have passed through
your church in the last twenty wears.
and they have passed through be-
cause you have not had church that

will hold the people when they get
into IL The minister cannot hold.
Success depends not half SO much up
on the minister as upon you. the

THE SWEEPSTAKES.

What we believe is that the ShrOp-
shire is nearer general purpose
sheep than any other. Our flock
averaged eight pounds and fifteen
ounces of unwashed wool last year,
and we tie the fleeces by twisting the
neck into rope, using no Irvine, and
throw out all the dirty locks along
the TANKS.
factory; last year they paid us %
cents per pound and this year 90
have my doubts whether it would
not be better to throw in the dirty
wool, tie with Irvine, and sell to the
regular dealer at dealers prices, but
there is more satisfaction in selling
nearer perfect article perhaps in the
long run as much money. If we took
but the ordinary pains to keep fleeces
clean, and should use the ordinary
amount of Irvine to tie with, our
flock would average 10 pounds per
fleece. | never had a ''cOtted'' fleece
nor was asked to shrink my wool
from its actual weight.
THE SHROPS AS BREEDERS.
We IStlSO lily DOl NCIl
than we have breeding ewes. Last
year we took but one lamb out of
the lanbing pens on account Ofweak-
ness; one we carried into the house
at night and left it in a basket by the
furnace; before morning it got out of
its basket and was all over the
house. Some of our March lambs
weighed 90 pounds on the first of
July We give the young lambs sift-
ed oatmeal, and after they are two
weeks old they have access to crush
ed oats until they go to grass
We never had a eve refuse to own
a lamb-or two or three, if she could
get them. | witnessed a curious
scene last spring; we had two i'm
ported ewes in a lambing pen to-
gether They each dropped twins
just after dark; at eight O'Clock
when going on my nightly rounds, |
found that the heaviest ewe-one
that would weigh close up to 800
pounds-had got the four lambs IN

standing guard over the whole four
All in all look upon the Shropshire

of breed so prolific that shears over
31a pounds of wool or will make ten
pounds of mutton to the quarter. at

England farmer is not ready to take
a breed of sheep that will not shear
