How to Keep Apples.

DLAkES, VA.
To ne Eidor Of The DisDdtca:
Can you furnish cheap plan for keep.
ing apples through the winter! III so
please publish and obligc
Az OLD SUBSCRIBER.
For immediate use apples may be shaken
from the tree. For winter consumption or
packing for market, they should be careful
ly picked by hand, with the aid OF ladders.
TO avoid bruising the fruit and injuring
tie trees limbs. Topreserye apples the best
method Is TO lay them carefully in tight
barrels or boxes Immediately after pick
ing. After being lightly shaken or pressed
together they may DO tightly headed. with
the head heavily pressed dOwn and Sc
cured for marketing, or covered so a. 10
exclude the air when intended for family
use. The boxes or barrels should then be
put away III a dry place and kept as cold
a. possible above the freezing point.
But if slightly frozen they will not be In
jurcl ii suffered to remain unpacked until
the frost leaves them. Thus managed they
will keep a long time. Bins IN a dry eel
lar are good for ordinary use if closely
covered. If exposed to the air. ,rarn'h, or
moisture apple, soon decay. II loo TRY
they will become tastclcss.
They ore sometimes buried in the earth.
like potatoes. but this IS very liable TO i'm
pair the flavor and give them an earthly
taste: and they seldom keep as well after
removal in the spring as when they have
been stored in barrels
We do not think our farmers can find q
more profitable crop. Applesare desirable
for both man and beast. They can bt
easily raised from tho seed or pomice, and
if planted along the fences will save many
dollars now spent for posts, and at the
same time give q return at the lowest cal
culation Of from $40 to $50 an acre.

Fat stock on the Hoof and Dressed

To fbr Eii'Or Of ne Dispatch
Will you be kind enough TO state in your
next ISSUE what is the relative weight OF
fat hogs. beef. and sheep on the hoof and
dressed and oblige some OF your readers (:
INQUIRER.
We can only give the usual estimate OF
the butchers. which Is that an animal after
being slaughtered and dressed will weigh
one-half of what it weighed on the hoof.
As a general rule fat cattle gain and poor
lose weight. Thus. good fat steer weigh
ing 1000 pounds will dress about SD
pounds, whilst COW in poor condition,
though of the same weight, will dress only
about 40 pounds.
With sheep the question somewhat de-
ponds upon Inc amount of wool. Generally
sheep hold out. and fat SHARED sheep
will gam about fifteen pounds on the one
hundred pounds.
Hogs in good condition and Weighing
say 300 pounds, will dress about l7Opounds
Small and poor hogs, a. with cattle, lose
weight.

TO NE Edi0r Of NE DlsDd'ch
Will you or some good housekeepcr
please inform me why picked cucumoers
shrivel after the spiced vinegar il poured
on them hot? / have asked several, but
none seem to know. Mas. W.
The hot acid poured upon them solidiies
the albuminous fluids. Perhaps long pre-
liminary soaking in salt and water may act
as a partial preventive by making the
fluids more resistant TO the acid.
