APPLES FOR STORAGE.
,rmerly Il was supposed the apples

Formerly II was supposed the apples
ought to sweat before they were
stored, but investigations indicate that
any ripening which takes place between
the picking time and the storage house
is injurious to the keeping qualities
of the fruit. Peaches delayed twenty
four hours did not keep as well as
those stored ut once. Bartlett pears
delayed three or four days were soft
i'm two or three weeks In storage, while
the fruit stored at once was I'm prime
commercial condition at the end of
Ave weeks. The Investigations en-
phasize the necessity of quick storing
as soon as the fruit Is picked. Fruit
stored in the orchard or on the railroad
siding, or in closed freight cars, In hot
weather, is injured seriously, and no
treatment in the storage house can
overcome the damage inflicted.
The Investigations point out also
that apples, pears and peaches rlpen
more slowly il left ON the trees than
when removed and stored In the or.
chard. The fruit is much better on the
tree than off IL II cannot be stored at
once. The method of packing is also
of fundamental Importance in influ
encing the behavior of the fruit In tho
storage house.-G. III. Powell, In the

A SODA SPRAY FOR SCALE.

The students OF the normal school at
Cape Girardeau, No., under the in
struction of Prof. r. w. Clothier, have
begun a war of determination upon
the San Jose scale, which abounds up
on the fruit trees Of that city and vi
cinity. The method used is modifi-
cation Of the one used by the United
States Department of Agriculture and
many of the experiment stations, in
which a preparation of line, sulphur
and salt is used as the destroying So
luton.
The solution used at the normal
school is prepared as follows: Heat
fifteen to twenty gallons of water to
boiling. Weigh out twenty pounds Of
sulphur, and stir W to u paste with
about two gallons of hot water. There
should be no Jumps OF dry sulphur
left floating in the water. Weigh out
forty pounds Of good Qulckllmc, and
place in Il fifty-gallon barrel. Pour
over this, as quickly as I0ssiblc, about
sfteen gallons of the boiling water. In
medately add the sulphur. Then at
once sprinkle in about ave pounds of
crude caustic soda, eighty TO ninety
per cent. pure. Use gloves to protect
the hands, and stir as much as possible
with hoe. The reaction 10 very vic.
lent, and sometimes the mixture boils
over the top OF the barrel, Should
this occur, or should the mixture solid
ify during the reaction, add more wa.
ter. When the boiling ceases. Gil the
barrel with eith,r hot CT cold water.

dormant condition.
This solution was sprayed upon 200

Effect of Grooming.

hard and disea sed; nor is there much
danger Of it except when the horse is
hard at work. Then the secretion of
watery fluid is heavier than when the
animal is idle, and il the sweat is al
lowed to dry on the skin, dust will ac-
cumuLate, mixing with It. and. il not
cleaned off, fill and clog the pores. As
result the skin will not only become
diseased, but the whole system more or
less deranged The impurities. unable
to escape through the skin. will accu-
mulate in different places and give rise
to blisters, which, IL neglected. may
lead to blood poisoning or something
else nearly as bad. BY regular, thor.
ough grooming. however, all this will
be prevented, the pores kept open, and
healthier, thriftier condition of the
animal maintained.
A horse having a thick, tough skin
will endure a tolerably sharp curry
comb, which, used on another with Q
thin, tender skin, would be a positive
cruelty. Whatever accumulations OF
dirt may be on the hair after the use
OF the curry-comb. a thorough cleaning
out of the skin should follow by tn,
aid of good brush. - Massachusetts

HAPPY CHILDHOOD.

Sometimes milk does not agree with

silk Culture in the South.

1t is asserted on the part Of the
department of agriculture that q
Southern farmers family can earn
wore in eight weeks by silk culture
than 1t could in year by raising
crop of cotton. says the American
Cultivator. The one crop, more
over does not exclude the other. Mul
berry trees, the leaves which form
the food of silkworms, can be grown
along the fences of cotton fields and
in odd corners OF the farm. No great
outlay is required for stock or plant
In fact, silk growing can be prose
cuted as a by-industry, like poultry
raising, by women and children.

KEEPING ERuIT.

The Pacific Farmer tells of a lady
who surprised her friends during the
holidays by serving watermelons,
muskmelons, plums and grapes as
fresh as when they were gathered.
Asked to tell the secret, she replied:
ut Is the simplest thing I'm the world;
any one can preserve fresh fruits in
the same way. The melons I first dip
in wax. After this coat them
with thick coat of shellac and bury
them in box of sawdust TO keep them
from rubbing and from freezing. The
grapes are coated in the wax only. but
plums and other fruits are coated with
the wax and then with the shellac. All
are carefully packed in sawdust."

that TO make the hens lay well In cold
