This Is subject upon which few
think alike. The fundamental Ques-
ton, sis storing profitab Ie," can be an
swered in as many ways as there are
lots to store My own opinion is, that
as the years go by storing will increase,
but profits thereby will decrease. The
mere fact of so many cold storage
houses being available will tend to
make apples worth more money in the
fall or at picking time and less in the
spring. This will no doubt be a good
thing for the producer il not for the
storer Of apples. 1t is to be hoped
that more discrimination will be shown
in the matter of storage of apples. Too
many poor apples are stored, and the
knowledge of this is taken advantage
of by certain cold storage men to the
disadvantage Of the holders.
Cold storage used with judgment is
one OF the best aids of the fruit grower
and dealer. but used as it often is, for
storing bruised or windfall or poorly
packed fruit. it is worse than useless
1t Is detriment. In general put no
apples In cold storage (unless in rare
cases for temporary preservation ex-
cept those varieties that would keep
fairly well in ordinary storage A
oOAI oPPAC "AACA WOQlQ DS ct1l T1SuL TO
sell within a day or two after arrival
is sometimes absolutely ruined by cold
storage, and temperature which will
keep Baldwin or Ben Davis for
months will sometimes bake a Duchess
or a ripe Snow apple as effectually as
week of hot weather. The lack of
variation in the treatment of different
varieties of apples and even of the
same varieties under different condi-
tons will explain many a puzzling
lack of keeping quality in apples in
cold storage. Cold storage is as yet
only In its infancy and there is no
doubt in my mind that the time will
come, and is not SO very far distant
when almost any apples properly
picked and packed can be kept from
one to two years in perfect condition
and without shrinkage
The problem of liquified air will nc
doubt be an important one, and cleo
tricity is already in use in one plant
in Chicago. The cooling agent in most
common use is ammonia, but carbonic
acid gas is now being tested with good
results, and its freedom from odor and
from danger in case of fire, may make
it formidable rival of ammonia. II
also is in use in one Chicago plant in
connection with electricity and is do
ing good work.-Renjamin Newhall.

Spreading Manure Upon tn. Snow.

Spreading Manure Upon the Snow.
An early and heavy snow fall, while
tending to diminish natural losses of
plant food, is apt to favor artificial
losses. 1t is apt to deter the farmer
from hauling out his manure supply
Too many farmers hold to the mistak-
en- notion that spreading manure upon
the snow is a wasteful practice, that
much of it's value is lost by teaching
and by running off of the surface in
the spring. They point to darkened
SHOWS, to discolored waters and to
greener meadows at the base of the
hillsides as proof of these losses. 1t
is probably true that some loss occurs
in this way, but it IS less than is usual
ly supposed. Those who are frightened
by this, however, should study the
barn losses, should know that, as or
dinarily kept, manure deteriorates
more in the barn cellar or in the ma
nure heap than it does in the field !;
that it is better for manure to leach
on the soil it is meant to fertilize than
in proximity to the barn and the fam
lily well; that it will ferment less out
doors than it will indoors; that, in
short, experiment and experience alike
show that the housing of manure in
the winter for spring hauling is sell
dom better and generally worse than
spreading it upon the snow as fast as
it is made. Some will be lost if
spread; more, however, will be lost
if kept at the barn; and the spring
work will be just SO much the further
behind.
Experiment station bulletins preach
this doctrine. institute speakers pro-
pound it, and farmers are yearly prac-
ticing it more extensively. 1t is the
modern notion, and the right one. The
winter manuring of a steep sidehill
may not be advisable; but moderate
slopes or level pieces of not too leachy
land may be safely fertilized any day
in the year except Sunday.-Vermont

STORM INTERPRETERS WITH THE EXPERTS Al
INTERSTATE PARK.
The ninth annual trap shooting tournament at
live birds which begun on Monday ar Inter
state Park Long Island under the auspices Of the
Interstate Association. was concluded last evening
in 4 drenching rain and the wind blowing half
gale from the southeast. From early morning the
rain fell Incessantly. and the day wore on the
wind increased TO such extent that al times the
trap shooters had take refuge in the clubhouse,
and the storm was so severe that they could not
face the traps.
Two contests were on the programme. one for the
Gilman-Barn trophy and the other for the
Sportsmen's Association trophy. Both are handl-
caps the men being placed from twenty-five 70
thirtythree yards and each contest called for TWEEN

simultaneously at two Of traps. but, owing 10
the severity of the storm II was arranged by
mutual consent the part of the shooters and

comparison made Of the spar measurements Of
the Columbia and the Shamrock has the effect Of
throwing some doubt upon the statements recent
ly published concerning the so-footers to be en-
gagged this year. AS officially measured on the Co
lumba, the height Of the topmast and lower mast.
from the upper side of the main boom to the top
sail halyard block was 1874 75 feet and the Sham
rock this measurement was 12S2S feet. The Yacht
ing World" and The Times" OF London. both give
the length OF the Shamrock's mast (this
being pole mast with top and lower stick in one)
at 14S feet Probably this means from the deck to
the truck that, allowing, say. six feet for dis
tauces from topsau haIyard block to truck and
from top Of main boom to deck. there would be
still ~ feet to come under the neasurer's tape
The perpendicular OF the sail area on the challenger
Shamrock II will. therefore, approximately be a
little more than seven feet higher than that Of
the Columbia and far from fourteen feet higher
than on the first Shamrock.
This seems to be well within the possibilities
Watson could have a high narrow rig which would
be fourteen feet higher than the first Shamrock's
and stiu not contain any more canvas the Fife
design having contributed a large portion OF her
sail area from the region OF the peak the gafr
being excessive IN length and about thirteen feet
longer than the Coumhias; the exact measure
ments being: The Columbia. 81 90: the Shamrock
6764 But the statement concerning the total mast
length OF the independence, as measured from deck
to truck, has been pubshed all over the country at
rs feet Judging by the best calculations Of Herres
hon Watson and Fife TO the needs OF a e0-foot
Cup racer. this announcement seems to be a wild
one. and TO have been showed into print without
consideration OF the 1888 records Allowing that
the last Fife boat may be exceeded 10y fourteen
feet In the new challenger to height OF topsau
hayard block it 5e supposed that she will ne

second report from Boston corrected the first by
saying that the exact measurement was not rs.
but tri1e over 173 feet Even at this. the figures
seem be incomprehensibIe.
Yet IT mas TO be remembered that. although
Crownnshield, with Mr. Lawson's wish. has been
giving out all Information about the hull. he has
been absolutely silent TO the sail and, with
the exception OF his amateur advisers,
the outside knows what kind Of a sail plan the In

posing that when the appearance OF the Herreshoff
Constitution is Tor the first time known 70 outsiders
she Will be found much more like the Independence
than most newspapers have suggested. and that the
qualities OF the Cartoon. which have been
largely reproduced in the Boston boat, will be also
