You quenched it, and left me this dark and

Cast into mine arms my little sweet lad:

To Keep Apples Sound for Years.

E. Fl. Daniel has number of perfectly
sound apples which he has kept over
from last year. Mr.. Daniels process is a
good one and may be regarded as some
thing new IN the way of preserving fruit.
He has cellar which is kept at the same
temperature all the year; and he has dis
covered that by putting apples in it in
such a way that they will not touch each
other they may be kept sound for months
and possibly years. He also has a meth
cd by which he will, in the future, buy
eggs at the times of the year when they
are cheap and keep them for months
when he can receive a handsome price
for them. He finds that by permitting
pure fresh water to run over eggs con-
stantly they may be kept sound for
months. He will likely try the expert
waterworks by which he can easily keep
a large supply Of them.-Princeton Ky
