Importance to the apple grower than is
cold storage, for 1t is within reach Of
all. The cellar for cool storage should
be so fixed that 1t can be ventilated
easily and quickly, letting in cold air
when the temperature in the cellar
gets too high. A cellar should be so
ceiled up that the temperature will not
be affected by the rooms above 1t. We
ventilate entirely for the sake Of low
erlng the temperature, and therefore
as soon as the air Is cool enough we
must shut up the cellar so the cool
air will not get out and warm air get
in in its place, by a change Of tempera-
ture on the outside. Cold storage, on
the other hand is Of great Importance
to the commercial orchardist.

Most of Them Are Daft About Some
Things.
l am tickled to know that Wagner
was an exact and expensive dresser,
and that Beethoven was sloven with
an old coat and slippers trodden down
at the heels, says the Contemporary
Review. 1t interests me to hear that
Paganini always carried a shirt in his
fiddle case because he sweated so pro-
fusely over his solos that he had to
change between his parts If he played
twice. l even care to learn that Men
delssohn was perfect child about
pastry, which he could never resist and
which he always ate Especially cherry
pie) and which always disagreed with
him, that Schumann injured his third
finger by tying it back to his wrist
with string because he hoped to
make 1t more supple-it ended, how
ever, in his almost losing the use OF
it; that Bulow got up in the night to
play over passages which he thought
he was likely to play inaccurately at
his prodiglous recitals. When Thral-
berg was at the height of his fame
he wouldn't even carry an umbrella
for fear of it cramping the muscles OF
his hand; Malibran loved nothing SO
much as romping with Mocheles chill
dren on the floor; Paganini was SO
stingy that he would stand up under
shelter in the rain and keep a whole
opera house full waiting sooner than
call cab. Prof. Ella told me he found
him one day crouching under the
Arcade in Regent street and that he
gave this artless explanation. Hack.

Geese and Ducks.

Geese and ducks should lay in Feb
ruary. Let their houses be made clean,
dry and be we'll Uttered with short
straw or chaff, and do not let them run
out early in the morning, says South
ern Planter. If kept up until o'clock
the layers will generally have laid and
you will thus secure the eggs. II
turned out they will frequently lay any
where about the farm, as they are care
less about their eggs early in the sea-
son. There is money in raising geese
and ducks If the right kind are kept.
Personally, we prefer Toulouse geese
and Pekin ducks. They mature earlier
than other varieties and consequently
sell better.

The above statement is taken from
the American Corn and Hog Journal,
The nutrition Of an artichOke is in the
form OF sugar in solution, therefore, al
ways ready for use with very little in
ternal preparation on the part of the
eater. They are highly important be-
cause no insect, blight or rust has yet
struck them and the tops make fod-
der superior to corn fodder when prop
erly handled. An acre will keep from
twenty to thirty hogs during the fall
and winter months The improved
variety is very easy to be eradicated
after once being planted. My plan is
to keep the hogs in the patch little
late in the spring, they will take the
last one in the ground. The variety |
grow is the Improved White French.
They grow to be about six feet high
and in the fall are covered with yell
low blossom. They grow very COM
pact in the ground, making it very easy
for digging, and often yield as high as
300 bushels per acre. Low black soil,
which is too frosty for conn and many
other crops, is fine land for the arti-
chokes, for freezing will not hurt them.
Before close must give my method
Of keeping them through the winter, for
this Is very important. Last winter
kept 700 bushels in pits without
scarcely losing a bushel. L picked out
dry spot and shoveled out pit not
over ten inches deep and about five feet
wide and as long as convenient. l
piled the tubers up to peak and put
shallow layer Of straw on top to keep
the dirt from rafting through and then
l shoveled on dirt not to exceed five
inches deep. If more dirt is put on
they will surely heat and spoil, and il
they freeze it will not injure them in
the least. 1 will now close trusting
that these words will be of some bene-
fit. J. H. Van Ness.
