GOLD STORAGE PLANTS.

They Should Be Established in Every
Fruit-Growing Locality.
Anent the recent progress in the mat
ter of prolonging the season of fruies
by means of cold storage, Prof. Craig,
of the experiment farm at OTTAWA, Ont,
thinks that the time may soon come
when winter apples may not be neces-
sity, as fall apples can be kept in per-
feet condition until the next summer.
This is entirely practicable, but as win
ter apples are quite as easily grown as
summer or autumn apples, there seems
no need of dispensing with either. At
the Columbian exposition in the New
York fruit exhibit there were shown
at the opening of the exposition and for
some weeks after perfect specimens OF
the Sweet Bough, Sour Bough, Fall Pip
pin. Round Sweet and others, and they
kept as long after being removed from
the cold storage as they would have
kept in the summer or fall without hav-
ing been thus stored. In other words,
contrary tothe generally accepted idea,
the cold storage in no way Impaired
their keeping qualities. 1t would GER
tainly be very pleasant to be able to
have supply of Primate, Ckenango,
Strawberry. Gravenstein and Fall Pip
pin through the winter. The problem
to solve is to make central cold storage
plants in fru;t-growing neighborhoods.
where business enough can be secured
to make them profitable, operated by
the ammonia process. Ice methods viii
not answer. To fill the modern demand
they must be able to freeze fresh meats,
fish and poultry in one room, while
keeping fruit at a temperature of 80 de-
grees Fahrenheit in another. Il is done
successfully now in large cities.

DARE TO STAND ALONE.

The pulse of the world is becoming so weak
Well never have anything new
While every one waits for his neighbor to
speak.
Onto see what his neiphhor viii do.
And paths that we tread are so beaten and
grooved.
That little for progress is done:
The mind of the millions too often has
proved
The biased opinion of one.
Then down with the rule that retards and
enslaves,
And the wrong that is reckoned a right;
Tor fashions and customs have often been
graves
Where the soul has been buried fro"
Where lives full of promise to chaos are
hurled,
And talents are laid on the shelf:
But the man who is fitted to think FOR the
world
Is the man who can think for himself.
Then dare to be honestly just what you are
And dare to be voted crank
For anything, surely, is better by far
Than being an impotent blank.
And join in some noble unpopular cause
And let your opinion be known;
For some, who are seeking the worlds vain
applause,
Will gain it by losing their own.
