IL built with double walls, with par

ANIMAL HABITS.

Not the shying Habit.


Not the shying Habit.
Horses shy because they are descend
"a Hrom ancestors accustomed to roam
over plains, where any tuft OF grass or
bush might conceal nm enemy waiting
TO spring OH them. Under these cir
cumstances they must often have saved
themselves by ut once starting AWAY on
observing any sudden or unexpected
movement or on coming without warn
Ing upon some strange object. This Ia
supposed to have become habit which
has descended TO their domesticated
descendants.

well rs fruit Of medium size Thick
skinned varieties generally keep better
than thin skinned ones. Colored apples
keep best IL picked when well colored'
but firm. With Rhode Island Green
ings in cold storage, however, the
fruit appears better If picked while
still very green and hard In common
storage the rule holds good
Rough handling Of the fruit In the
barrels and. Of course, at any time
previous to barreling is very injurious.
Northern Spy is one of the easiest 70
bruise, while Tolman Sweet and feE
low Bellfower are both very sensitive
to rough handling.
Fungus on fruit affects its keeping
quality injuriously. Affected fruit
keeps best in a cold, dry atmosphere;
clean fruit, however. keeps best with
considerable moisture in the afr.
Generally speaking, apples keep much
better il the month Of October Is cool
than If warm and better after dry
season than a wet one. II the season
Is such that the fruit does not color up
well the result is the same as when
the fruit is picked too green.
Fruit which ripens unevenly on the
trees should be given two or more
pickings. Cold storage does not length
en- the life of all varieties over COM
mon storage to an equal degree.
