that before many years the zebra, or

with this, since thousands of the ami

If the warm weather has injured the
apples it will be of advantage to over
haul them. Examine each apple and
reject all that are not perfectly sound.
If 1t can be done conveniently. wrap
the apples in tissue paper. singly. and
place them on shelves. If the apples
are for market they should not be dis
turbed unless necessary, when they
may be assorted. the Imperfect ones re-
jected and the sound ones repacked in
the barrels. They should then be sent
to market as soon as the weather per-
mits. 1t is waste OF labor TO send

THE EARLY APPLES.
Very Ancient People Used Wild Apples
and Pears 4 hundnnfIY.

Very Ancient People Used Wild Apples
and Pears AbundantIy.
In these days of advanced horticul-
ture the fruit of the wild apple tPyrus
malus) and of the wild pear u'. com
munis) would hardly ue regarded as
good for food" but 1t is certain that
in ancient times they were both largely
used. In the lake dwellings of Switzer-
land and Italy great quantities of wild
apples and n few wild pears have been
found. The Inhabitants of the terra
mare of Parma, aud of the FATALITIES of
the lakes of Lombardy, Savoy and
Switzerland" says De Candolle, made
great use-of apples. They always cut
them lengthwise, and preserved them
dried as provision for the winter. The
specimens are often carbonized by fire,
but the internal structure of the fruit is
only the more clearly TO be distin-
guished." Aud from q scientific exam
ination Of these carbonized specimens
it seems to be established that many OF
these ancient apples were almost iden-
teal with the wild apple of to-day. But
even in the sixteenth century the crab
apple OF our woods was held in far
higher esteem than 1t is now. Roasted
crabs" served with hot ale, was.
as we learn from Shakespeare, a
fayorite dlsG among our fore
fathers, especlalll at Christmas
tine. Another use of the crab apple
was in the making OF verjuice. of which
