APPLE STORAGE.

Proper storage for fruit Is an important
adjunct of the apple growing business. IN
certain circumstances it il Indispensable
For this reason apple growers nav" sven
COZ siderable attention to the construction
of storage houses and to learning the best
methods OF keeping the fruit. From intor-
nation collected and sent out by the nor
ticulturist of the Vermont cNperim nj sta
tiop ii seems that apple storage houses are
becoming rather common in the principal
applc growing soctious of Vermont, par
ticulary in Grand Isle county.
These houses are built without means Of
artificial refrigeration. They can be kept
cooi enough from the outside atmosphere;
and can usually be kept warm enough if
the walls are carefully built y small
stove is usually kept in the storage house
and is called into use on specially cold
nights.
Old barns or granaries are sometime
converted into apple storage rooms. A
good cellar 10 occasionally used TO adVan-
tagc. Adequate protection from cold
weather and suitable ventilation are the
principal requisites.
The most important condition in storing
apples is the temperature The storage
room should be kept very near the frccZ-
ing point. ranging preferably from 80 to 81
degrees Fair. Even a degree or two be-
low freezing will ordinarily do no damage.
Temperatures which will ruin potatoes
and other vegetables are entirely favor
ahle to apples; and, conversely tcmpera
lures which are suitable to potatoes are
too high for apples.
This last consid 1ration explains why Il
great many folks have difficulty in keep
ing apples IN their cellars. The same cell
lar which keeps vegetables perfectly VIII
not give best results with apples.
This is something to which every farmer
especially ought to give attention, for
