HORTICULTURE
how TO PICK APPLES.

There are three ways Of occurring the
apple crop-by shaking the fruit from
the trees, by gathering it by hand and
then dropping the apples into the bas
ket, which may be hanging on the lad
der two or three feet below our reach,
and the third way of gathering the
fruit by hand and carefully laying
each apple in the basket. The tremen-
dous crop OF last season here in eastern
Massachusetts, affords the opportunity
to test the comparative merits Of each
OF these three plans when carried out
on large scale.
The argument of those who practice
the first named plan wae that the apples
were so plenty and consequently cheap,
tnat it would not pay to hand pick
them, and the shaking of them off on
the second crop of grass growing be-
meath the trees would bruise but a
email per cent. of the fruit. An Allan
tic cyclone, which descended on us
soon after we had begun apple picking,
gave me, to my exceeding regret, an
opportunity to test the merits of this
system Of apple-gathering. Ali the

as The latter will not flow; and it wou d
be better to employ the same method
for sand, thus preventing the potatoes
from touching.
If a potato house is used it is prefer
ably constructed d Of stone, with two
walls, an inner and outer wall, the
space between being filled with earth
or dry sand.
IL a cellar be used it should be lined
with a stone wall In either case q
stone wall will reduce the temperature
in summer from TO 10 degrees, and
will be sufficiently warm IN winter.
If a cellar or a potato house be EN-
ploy ed the same sand or dust, as the
case may be, cen be used for an indef
mite time. One party, who used road
dust, constructed a large box and
placed il in an out house. The same
dust was used here for about 20 years
and answered as good a purpose as
could be desired. The box, to prevent
freezing, should be constructed with
two walls about six inches apart and
properly filed between with dust or
sand.
When the air is thus excluded by
employing either sand or road dust the
potatoes By the following spring appear
to undergo but little or no change.
One season 1 placed sand among the
potatoes Immediately after digging
There was heavy frost the night pre-
vious. The potatoes not only kept
well, but the following spring the milk
would flow from freshly broken po
tato the same as if freshly dug, having
seemingly undergone no change what
ever. While the potatoes kept re
markably we'll on this occasion, l after
wards learned from actual tests that it
ie very unsafe to thus exclude the air
from them while in green state. Heat
is apt to be produced and when once
generated it is impossible to save the
potatoes. Curing the potatoes ia there
fore of two fold Importance:
1. To sweeten the potatoes.
2 To prevent heating.
II the potatoes are sufficiently cured
to prevent generating heat for week

Through the courtesy of the man
ayers, THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER is en-
abled to give it's readers a splendid
picture OF the Agriculture Building at
next years great Exposition, as it will
appear when completed. This building
will cost, we understand, about 500,
900. Agriculture and live stock will
be made prominent features Of the Ex.
position.
Architects who stand pre- eminent in
their profession are now perfecting the
plans of the main buildings-Agricul
ture, Art, Electricity and Machinery,
Mines and Mining, Manufactures and
Liberal Arts and Spectatorium.
On either side of the Administration
building stands mines" and ''Agricul
ture," twins in size and general form,
ana the largest of the Exposition'e
main buildings TheAgriculturRl build
ing is located just west of the TWen-
tieEh Street axis of the KounFze tract,
and faces south on the lagoon. It's
architecture is free Renaissance, with
details conventional in proportion and
arrangement but natural in subject
and all Indicative Of the purpot g OF the
building. There will be capitals OF

all the buildings, while in the ornament
the colors Of nature will be adhered to,

AGRICULTURE.

The article on How TO Pick Apples" "
BY the famous seed grower, J. }. II
Gregory, is a very timely one. This Is
the season of year at which most North
Carolina apples are gathered, and we
think no farmer that raises apples will
regret time spent in reading the article
AID in carrying out its instructions.
Wet weather seems to have been as
geag trouble to Northern farmers as
dty weather has been to those Of the
Suth this season. We learn that C ops
Of all kinds through the Northern
States are generally late, owing to tre
qleut rains. The effect Of rainfall IN

here On either side of the doorway will
be paintings, the ''Sower" and Reap
er" of Millet.
The structure is something over four
hundred feet long by about one hun
dred and fifty wide, and averages fifty
feet high. The main entrance is a
hemicyole in plan, surmounted by a
circular niche, ard is central in the
south facade. Smaller doors pierce
5he sylobate at intervals along the
whole front. The ends have triple
doors with loggias above. The roofs
are low, showing only balustrades
above the cornice, except where broken
By central and corner pavilions. The
monotony of che sky line is relieved by
groups Of statuary, appropriately rep
resenting the seasons, with Prosperity
supported by Labor and Integrity
dominating the whole. Over the main
entrance there will be a statute of
Abundance, fanked by lesser figures
and the arms of State and Nation. The
scuIptured subjects include groups
representing the signs of the Zodiac,
Ehe favorable winds and the seasons
and everywhere panels and friezes will
bear the names of patrons of agricul-
ture, it's celebrated inventors, and ap
propriate inscriptions.
It is doubtful if any exposition has
yet given its agricultural show as beau
tlful and elaborate a setting as this
will be. When one realizes that, seen
from across, the lagoon, Agriculture

present an unbroken front one thou

summer. But it is important that the
sanding or busting be done of a cold
morning, and that the sand or dust be
firsJ exposed to the air so as to become
as cold as possible The sand or dust,
as the case may be, should be thorough
y dry.
HILLS
If hills be employed, the potatoes
may be piled direct from the patch,
putting not more than 25 or 80 bushels
in circular pile. But by making the
hill long any desirable quantity can be
placed, being cheaper than round hills
Place two plank at right angles suff
GENTLY raised fer the air to pass be-
meath, then pile the potatoes thereon
and finish by billing in the usual way,
leaving the top open.
You will thus have four places at the
bottom to admit air. At the end OF
nine days close these places, and when
the weather is sufficiently cool finish
by pouring sand in at the top until
full. If this plan@Oe adopted it will be
necessary to provide new sand every
year.
COTTON SEED.
Cotton seed is one of the most con
venient methods known for putting
away potatoes and should be employed
for at least portion of the crop. They
may be put away in a barn or any
room that is not over a room in which
fire is used. Place on the Fl 1or about
six inches of cotton seed, then the po
tatoes the depth of about three feet
and cover lightly with seed. AS the
weather becomes colder the depth ot
cotton seed on top may be increased tc
six inches. This method is convenient
for using purposes and appears to have
no superior as a keeper. Old seed
thought to be better than new.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
The folio wing resolutions were unani
mously adopted by Smith Creek ALI
ance, No. 351, of Warren Co N. c., on
the 18Th of September, 1897.
WHEREAS. Another year has more
thoroughly developed the fact that the
use Of fer5llFzers are deceptive and the
drain upon the crops to pay for the
same is alarming. And whereas, it is
all important that the farmers should
make known some Of the evils existing
in the manipulation as we'll as in the
use of fertilizers. Therefore be it
Resolved, That we, as farmers, are
disgusted with the shrinkage In the
grade of fertilizers from year to year,
causing the use of from five hundred
to one thousand pounds per acre, there
by adding double freight to the cost,
without value in comparison with the
grade ten years ago, when half the
quantity would make better crops.
2. That the price has not lowered in
proportion to the grade leaving out the
additional freight and expense of haul
ing.
8 That the entire cost of fertilizers
when the seasons are bad, is total
loss to the farmer while under favor
able seasons the profits will not justify
the risk.
4. That the next Legislature should
enact that no fertilizers shall be sold in
the State at a commercial value of less
than thirty dollars per ton.-
5 That we will commence now to
think and make plans to dispense with
the use of fertilizers at present prices
and grade as much as possible and inn
prove our lands by other methods more
permanent and profitable, for we have
failed to realize either by the use of fer
til z9rs. But on the other hand its use,
as a market crop food, we are impov
erishing our land trying to pay for it.

Correspondence Of The Progressive Farmer.
Three points are essential
1. The potatoes should be ripe when
dug,
g. They should be put away at the
right time.
8 They should be put away in the
right way.
If the above three points be properly
observed potatoes can easily be kept in
good condition through two winters
% To ascertain when ripe, remove
q few potatoes, break in two pieces and
throw down on the ridge. If ripe, the
milk that runs out, when d-y, will be
white; If not ripe it will be dark. In the
former case the potatoes may be relied
on to keep; 10 the latter case there is
doubt, but with care may keep well.
Potatoes should be planted 81 fl ;ient
~ early to ripan before they are dug
WHEN TO DIG
Potatoes should be dug soon after
the frost kills the vines Some, how,
ever, advise that they be left until the
weather turns cool But when thus
left, If the weather be warm, they are
apt to sprou5 in the ground. The
farmer must decide batween the two
plans according TO bis own experience.
1t may be well to try some by each
plan until ne is convinced. I prefer
early digging soon after the vines are
killed.
AIRING THE POTATOES.
This may be done in several ways.
It aired in the patch, poles or rails
should be placed on the ground with
proper spaces intervening, The pota
toes should be placed thereon and COW
cred with straw or other litter to pro
tecs from frost, in case there be any.
Let the potatoes remain thus for about
nine days, or until the first white froet
thereafter; they will then be in proper
condition to put away.
If preferable, the poles Or rails may
be placed on q floor and the potatoes
piled thereon in the way described.
This plan will cause the air to get under
the potatoes and, as it ascends, (the
potatoes will be warmed suffi GENTLY by
bulklng to cause this) all portions of
the bulk will be evenly cured.
PUTTING THE POTATOES AWAY
After the potatoes have been prop
erly cured there is only one safe way
to put them away, and especially if it
be desirable to keep them long time
the air must be excluded, To exclude
the air, dry sand or road dust must be
employed. The potatoes may be placed
in a potato house, a cellar, large box
or hill, and dry sand then powdered
over them, which will flow and fill
every crevice. If dust be used, it will
be necessary to place alternately a
layer of potatoes and a layer of dust,
