STILL other experiments were made
to test the question whether there is
any advantage in packing apples, layer
by layer, with straw or sand. Four
kinds of apples were packed away in
glass vessels, haf of each lot in chopped
straw and the other half in dry sand.
1t appeared not only that the sand was
decidedly preferable to the straw, but
that the use of straw is not to be COM
mended. Although there was no loss
through decay of the apples packed in
the straw, they nevertheless shriveled
more than apples which were lying free
in the cellar, and they acquired musty
taste from the straw as it became damp.
The use of dry sand, on the other hand,
seemed to be advantageous, since the
fruit packed in it retained an uncom-
monty fresh appearance and excellent
flavor, and promised to keep, in good
part, until July. The sand-packed ap-
Piles lost only about half as much water
by evaporation as those which were
lying free upon the shelves; they were
almost wholly free from moldiness, and
when one of them happened to decay it
did not infect the others. Even those
apples which had been bruised did not
decay any more rapidly than the sound
fruit, provided that the skin had not
been broken. -
WE are glad to learn, through Pro-
fessor Cooke, that there is to be no
abatement of interest in horticulture at
Burlington. We hoped, and shall still
hope, for material increase in that
direction, and do not yet see how such
an institution is to get on without a
special instructor in horticulture. We
were looking to see Mr.. Minott take
the lead in agitating for a State Horti-
cultural Society. We shall hope to see
such an organization yet, before we
"go hence" 1t is a positive neces-
sity of the state. There is great lack
of profitable knowledge about fruit
growing in most parts of Vermont;
and by reason of that lack the tree
peddlers are plundering our farmers of
a hundred times as much money as the
state would be called upon for aid in
establishing an active society. There
is nothing so costly as ignorance, and
no place where ignorance causes more
or greater losses than on the farm.
Dear reader, is there none amongst
you who can be interested in this very
important matter for the prosperity and
enjoyment of our people? Horticulture
is the browning beauty and glory OF
agriculture. 1t is the great refining in,
fluence on our farms.

THOSE who have tried pure, unadul-
terated honey as an eye-wash for horses,
and any other animals afflicted with
sore eyes, find it very beneficial in a
great many cases. 1t is good thing
to get rid of all horses that have weak
eyes, but frequently the best of eyes
will become irritated and sore from hay
seed or other accidental cause, and a
few drops of nice pure honey have a
very healing and soothing effect.

A CAPRI GIRL.
How Capri Women are so Healthy.

The women of Capri are the healthiest in
the world. The secret of their wonderful
vigor is work, plain diet and constant life in
the open air. NERVES are unknown.
Women of our own country have injured
their nerves by wrong diet and a shut-up,
indoor life. Thousands feel just ready to
drop from nervous weakness. 1t is what
makes so many nervous, tired, languid,
without energy or ambition. They have
headache, stomach trouble, kidney and liver
complaints, constipated bowels, papitation,
poor blood, etc, which are caused by weak
ened neryes and nervous prostrdtion.
The grip, also, has left as an after effect,
more weakened and shattered nerves and
more physical debility and prostration than
any other known epidemic.
These difficulties are always increased and
greatly aggravated in spring, by that spring
debility which so weakens and enervates us
all. But all these troubles are durable by
the great tonic and restorative for women,

Editorial NOtings.

WE give, this week, the excellent adj
dress of Mr. George Aitken of Wood.
stock at the Brattleboro meeting, upon
the subject of " Breeding Dairy Cow s."
as it appeared from the authors manu-
script in the Homestead. 1t is worthy
very careful reading, for it is the work
of thoroughly practical man, who
speaks from personal experience
and discusses the subject in a very in
telligent way. Don't fail TO read it
carefully.
THE time for storing away apples for
long keeping is past for this season.
Apples, if carelessly kept, cannot now
be preserved much longer; and those
who have not handled them rightly will
have to lose them. But perhaps, for
that very reason, this time is a good
one to call attention to right methods,
and those readers whose fruit decayed
early may be just in the right state of
mind to heed instruction. An ex.
change says, on this subject: Among
the various modes for preserving choice
specimens of winter apples and pears
through winter and into spring, the use
of fine and perfectly dry sand to pack
them in has been found effectual. The
sand should be clear from earth, and
some months would be required to dry
it etfectually, especially if in any guam
tity. Its dry and absorbing quality
will prevent small bruise from run
ming into rot, and, keeping the fruit dry
enough without shriveling, preserves
its freshness. Other powdered sub
stances, as baked sawdust, finely sifted
coal ashes, or gypsum, operate in a
similar manner, but they are hardly
equal to fine, clean sand for freely alb
sorbing useless moisture or incipient
decay from the outside of the speci-
mems. But this is not all the benefit
derived from encasing the fruit in these
powdered substances. They exclude
air currents and preserve a uniform
temperature, as the temperature of
these substances cannot quickly change.
This uniformity is matter of much i'm
portance in keeping fruit"

gratitude to the men who test practical
matters for us in thoroughly con-
vincing way. The experiments of the
German scientist were carried, with
German exactitude, into other impor-
tant points in this connection. 1t was
found to be true of apples kept upon
shelves in the cellar that they gave off
more water by evaporation in given
time when they were green than they
did afterwards, as they became ripper.
1t appeared also, rather remarkably, in
trial between apples whose stems had
been broken off and those whose stems
had been left uninjured, that the lat
ter lost rather more by evaporation
than the former; the inference being
that there is no harm in breaking the
stalks of apples in the process of gath
ering.
OTHER experiments were made to
determine how much influence the nat
ural varnish on the skin of apples has
upon their preservation. To this end,
the waxy covering was removed from
number of apples by gently rubbing
them with mixture of alcohol aud
ether, then washing them with very di-
lutte potash lye and finally with much
water. 1t was found that apples thus
treated lost five per cent more of their
weight by evaporation in given time
than apples which had been left in
their natural condition and similarly
stored. AS regards this point, Sorauer
is in full accord with the popular con-
victon that the unhurt skin of an APP.
pie is to be regarded as the chief pro-
lection against decay. He found that
apples whose waxy coating had been
left unframed did not decay for a long
time after he had smeared them with
mold, although they were left all the
while in moist and warm place.

IT has long been subject of discus
sion as to whether damp or dry cell
lar is best for fruit preservation. We
have, from experience and observation,
preferred damp, or even wet cellar
for this purpose; and regard a cellar
with spring in it as the best of all, if
there is good drainage. We stated this
experience some twelve years ago, in
communication to the Rural NeU
Yorker, and were much pleased by this
means to draw from Professor Storer
of the Bussey Institution Ohe agri-
cultural "annex" of Harvard Uni
versity), valuable confirmation of the
facts stated. Professor Storer wrote as
follows: " A set of experiments made
recently in Germany, by Sorauer, are
interesting as bearing upon the ques-
ton, whether winter apples can best be
kept in dry or damp cellar. The re-
suits of these trials clearly corroborate
the conclusions set forth by DIR. Hos
kins. Sorauer premises that while
there is no longer any doubt in mems
minds that light and warmth had bet
ter be excluded in order that apples
may be kept fresh and be hindered
from becoming over-ripe, there is still a
wide diversity of opinion as to whether
damp or dry air is most favorable for
the preservation of the fruit. To test
the question, he experimental upon
several kinds of apples, particularly the
Winter Golden Pearmain.' Three
separate lots of the apples having been
weighed out, one lot was spread on
shelves in an ordinary fruit cellar, an
other lot was kept in air from which
moisture had been pretty thoroughly
removed by means of chemicals, and
the third lot in air that was completely
saturated with moisture. On re-weigh-
ing the several lots after the lapse of
some time, it was found that the apples
kept in the air of the cellar had lost
three and a half per cent of their
weight; those kept in dry air almost
eight per cent; while those kept in air
saturated with moisture had lost but
little more than one-half of one per
cent. 1t could not be perceived that
any advantage was gained by using the
dry air. On the contrary, the apples
kept in the dry air shriveled more than
the others, and manifestly ripened more
rapidly, so that in the later months OF
the experiment they were less sweet
than the others, and larger proper
ton of them decayed. Not a few Of
them became rotten.ripe, and this il
spite of the fact that, as was naturally
TO be expected, rather less moldines'

Now it is very plain that such care

are far more convincing than the ordi
