Apple Storage.
The Most Important Condition Is the
Temperature. which should BE Near

The Most Important Condition is the
Temperature, which Should BE Near
the Freezing Point.
Proper storage for fruit is an important
adjunct of the apple growing business. In
certain circumstances it is indispensable.
For this reason apple growers have given
considerable attention TO the construction
of storage houses and to learning the best
methods of keeping the fruit. From infor-
nation collected and sent out by the horti-
culturlst of the Vermont experiment Sta
ton It seems that apple storage houses are
becoming rather common in the principal
apple growing sections of Vermont, par
ticularly in Grand Isle county.
These houses are built without means of
artificial refrigeration. They can be kept
cool enough from the outside atmosphere !;
and can usually be kept warm enough if
the walls are carefully built. A small
stove is usually kept in the storage house
aud is called into use on specially cold
nights.
Old barns or granaries are sometimes
converted into apple storage rooms. A
good cellar is occasionally used to advan-
tage. 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 freezing
point, ranging preferably from 80 to 80 de-
grees Fahrenheit. Even a degree or two
below freezing will ordinarily do no dam
age. Temperatures which will ruin pota-
toes and other vegetables are entirely ia
vorable to apples; and, conversely, tenn
anita b1a IN
are too high for apples.
This last consideration explains why a
great many folks have difficulty in keeping
apples in their cellars. The same cellar
which keeps vegetables perfectly will not
give best results with apples.
This is something to which every farmer
especially ought to give attention, for every
farm certainly ought to raise apples enough
for the family. Even if there is no fruit
to sell, there ought to be enough to furnish
a full supply throughout the winter.

DIR. ]. c. Moore Pnrdoned.

DR.. Joseph c. Moore of Manchester,
who was sentenced to four years in state
prison for over-issue of stock, and who
was committed to that institution April l.,
1897, was pardoned Friday night. Gov.
Rollins visited DR.. Moore in prison Fri
day, and satisfied himself that he is a very
sick man, and could not survive very long
if he remained in prison, and that it was
simply an act of mercy to grant a pardon.
Councillors Wallace of Rochester and Gale
of Exeter voted against the pardon, while
Councillors Hammond of Nashua, Cheney
of Lebanon and Green of Littleton voted
in the affirmative.
I'lDr. Moore was convicted in 1897 of over
issuing stock of the Union Publishing
company of Manchester to Roger G. Sulli-
van, and also of falsiiying the company
stock book and making false charges. His
sentence was four years. Previous to his
becoming interested in the Union he was
physician with large and lucrative
practice. He was also largely interested
in several financial institutions. He for
merly weighed 800 pounds, but his weight
when he came out of prison was 12O. He
went to the home of his sister, Mrs. Henry
Tucker, in Lakeport.

Drowning of a Cornell student.

The death of Edward Fairfax Berkeley,
a Cornell student, has attracted much at
tenton. He was one of several students
who were to be initiated into the Kappa
Alpha fraternity, and as the chapter house
at Ithaca had been burned, the members
of the fraternity at Cornell and the novi-
tiates went to Geneva, where the initiation
was to take place at the chapter house at
Hobart college. On arriving at Geneva
Berkeley was placed in charge of Philip
Dickinson of Denver, third year man,
who was directed to keep Berkeley away
from the chapter house until the hour set
for initiation. The two went out for a
walk, and to skill time" Dickinson gave
Berkeley a meaningless note, which he
was directed to pin on railroad bridge.
In attempting to reach the bridge Berkeley
became mred in the mud in the canal,
fell backward and was drowned. Thr
coroner's jury has exoneraled the young
men who were to conduct the imitation.

The beginning is made of the great new
bridge between New York and Long Is
land, which is to cross the East river by
way of Blackwell s island, between Sixtieth
street, Manhattan, and Ravenswood, Long
Island City. This bridge will quite exceed
the Brooklyn bridge in all its proportions.
The Brooklyn bridge is so feet wide; the
Blackwelrs island bridge will be $50 feet
wide. 1t is not to be suspension bridge,
but cantilever. The Second and Third
avenue elevated railways will pass across
it; there will be two double roads for
trolley lines, paths for bicycles, walks for
pedestrians, two Toadways for heavy teams
and two for lighter vehicles. The main
pier in Manhattan will be lis feet high
those based on Blackwell's island will be
11S feet high. The cost will be nearly six
millions of dollars, and it can be finished
in two years.

At the biennial convention of the Uni
versalist church, held in Boston last week,
a new platform of principles was adopted,
and by this action the church gives up the
Winchester Confession of Faith adopted
in 1903. The new platform is the result of a
conference of Boston Universalist minis
tiers, and was drawn up by Rev. George T.
Knight of Tufts college. 1t is as follows !;
"The essential principles of the Uni
versalist faith:
"The Universal fatherhood of God.
"The spiritual authority and leadership
of His son, Jesus Christ.
"The trustworthiness of the Bible as
containing a revelation from God.
"The certainty of retribution for sin.
"The final harmony of all souls with
God"
The change was ratified by vote of 1872
to 10. Committees were also appointed
looking to closer relations with the Uni
tartan church, measure approved by the
Unitarian convention.

1t seems that there is no occasion to feal
that the gold supply of the world will be
greatly embarrassed by the suspension OF
gold mining in the Transvaal The treas
ury bureau of statistics has figured that
the gold production of the entire world
outside the Transvaal, is now double that
of the whole world including the Transvaa
mines, 10 years ago. 1t is estimated that
the output of the South African mines will
show falling off of S25 100000, As the
original estimate of the director If the mini
for 1899 was $3.50, 100000. there will still
be gold enough left for coinage and for the
arts if the Transvaal does not produce q
dollars worth. Allowing that the output
of this year does not exceed 1926, 900, 900
the production will be more than 500,

Prosperity In Vermont.

Vermont is sharing in the country's
prosperity to her full proportion. 1t is the
smokeless factory chimney now that occa-

granite and marble industries were never
so active. What textile and wood working
factories we have are adding to their out
puts and unable, by working overtime, to
fill their orders. Agricultural returns are
keeping pace, on the average, with Other
lines. Trade must of necessity be good

The Neverslip shoe is as good shoe as
can be made. The Calk is inserted by the
thread-screwed in with wrench made
for the purpose. Your blacksmith puts on
the shoe and inserts the calks-using size
of calk adapted to weight of horse. After
that you can put them in yourself, and when
worn. remove them and replace with new
ones. tits only matter of twenty minutes
for all four feet. Your horse is then imme-
diately sharp shod without leaving the
stable; manifest advantage of morning
after sudden freeze-up. Better than
waiting two or three hours at the shop and
cheaper. The cost of keeping horse shod
and sharp by this method is fraction less
than one-half cost by the old method. 1t
is so easy to insert and remove the Never
slip Calk that you don't let them wear
down as you let the old calks do And then
by keeping the calks long you keep the
shoe off the ground and so save wear. The
Neverslip Calk does not work loose nor
rust fast By using Neverslip Calks' set
of Neverslip shoes will outlast two to three
sets of the old shoes during the winter
