STORING WINTER APPLES.
Essentials to Be Borne In Mind In
Storing Apples and Other Fruit.

storing Apples and Otner FRUIT.
In storing fruit for winter. says
Better Farming. the three essentials to
be borne in mind are good ventilation.
proper temperature and moderately
dry atmosphere. Unless they can all
be met 1t is better TO dispose of your
fruit at prevailing market price rather
than take the risk of loss by rotting.
The cellar in which the fruit is kept
must be well drained, with double
walls above ground. Double walls are
better nonconductors than single walls
An outer entrance to the cellar is in
dlspensable. as are also small double
glass windows placed at least on two
sides of the cellar. preferably on north
and south sides, On warm days they
can be used to good advantage in
regulating the temperature. No stor-
age cellar should contain furnace.
even when there is partition wall be-
tween it and the fruit. as undue
warmth cannot be prevented. The
right temperature Is a few degrees
above the freezing point, about 80 de-
grees f. The temperature may vary
considerably. however. without serious
damage, but in very cold weather 1t Is
well to keep a thermometer close by
and apply artificial heat If necessary
Barrels and crates or hanging bins are
the best utensils for storing Hanging
bins are very convenient. as the fruit

lation of air from beneath and through

FARMERS INTEREST RATES.
Why Farmers Pay More For Money
Than Other Men.

To Farm and Fireside Judson c.
Welllver contributes an article show
Ing how farmers have to pay high
rates of interest in this country be
cause they have no system of collec-
tive credits such as they have for the
benefit of farmers in certain foreign
countries The substitution Of com
munity credit for individual credit is
what always reduces rates of interest.
Cities borrow their money at lower
rates of interest than individuals be-
cause they act us a community. Fol
lowing is an extract from Mr. Wei
llvers article showing the rates Of in
terest farmers pay in this country at
the present time:
Recently the department Of agricul-
ture investigated interest rates paid
by farmers all over the country 1t
was found. through statements made
by several thousand banks in answer
to questions. that on all loans to farm
ers, secured and unsecured, the aver
age rates run from trifie under per
cent in most of New England, New
York. Pennsylvania and New Jersey
up to 1857 per cent in Oklahoma

There is much advantage in knowing
OF the keeping qualities of the differ
ent varieties. The Rhode Island Green
Ing Is not so good a keeper in cold
storage as the Baldwin. but 1t will

location. Talmon Sweets keep well in

In barrels and are at their best during
February and March. when they have
fine flavor Rambo and Falawater
are also excellent keepers both In Gel
lar and cold storage. but the Rambo Is
not a late keeper. being at its best in
December. while Fallawater Is most
excellent late in winter and early
spring.
Pears have much the same keeping
qualities as apples and are stored the
same; but. as rule. they do not keep
so well
In storing fruit either in the cellar or
cold storage there are two objects to
be accomplished; one is to preserve It,
the other to retain the flavor. Storing
vegetables. especially cabbage, in the
same cellar may be detrimental to the
flavor of cabbage. Damp. Ill smelling
cellars will very likely render fruit less
palatable too.

full surroundings for the small army
of men and women engaged in the
work. The sightseer also was taken
into consideration in designing the
structure, for the bureau of engrav-
ing and printing always has been pop
ular with the thousands of people who
visit the capital each year. More than
mile of visitors galleries have been
provided in the building.
The new bureau structure is of re-
inforced concrete, brick and stone
construction, and presents the last
word in fireproofing. The only wood
work to be found in the building are
the floors in the portions devoted to
Office rooms and several of the work
rooms and the doors, most of which
are partly covered with sheet metal
to protect them.
The structure consists of a main
building sos feet long with four
wings, each 296 feet in length. To an
aviator flying high in the air above
the structure it would have the ap-
pearance of a gigantic comb with four
teeth. The main portion of the
building is parallel to Fourteenth
street, and the wings project toward
the east. The wings at the northern
and southern ends of the building are
six stories high and 81 feet wide,
while those in the center are only five
stories in height and 63 feet wide.
There is basement under the entire
structure
The exterior is of sandstone con-
struction The sides and ends of the
wings of the building are devoted al
most entirely to huge windows with
the glass set in metal sash. There are
$4,000 panes of glass in these win
| dows None of the panes is less than
fifteen by twenty inches in size.
| The total floor area in the building
is about four hundred and sixty sew
en- thousand seven hundred squares
feet. The structure is about one hun
dred and seven feet high and the cubi-
cal contents is about seven million
cubic feet. A wide covered walkway
about three hundred feet long leads
to the main entrance between the
center wings on the Fourteenth street
side of the building. Beneath this
there is driveway for teams with
platform for unloading and loading.

It's moving day way down in bu-
reau town." shouted a laborer to one
Of his fellow workers the other day
as he tugged away at the handle of
a heavily laden truck being used to
convey file cabinets, books, bundles of
records, small parts of machines and
other articles from the old bureau of
engraving and printing building to the
new $3,OO0,000 structure adjoining it
which is to be the future home of that
important branch of the government.
His expression was not amiss, when
one considers that the printing of
Uncle Sans paper money, postage
stamps and revenue stamps for the
nations use necessitates the employ
ment of about four thousand men and
women, and that this number is suffi-
cient-to populate a town of fair size.
The fact that the floor space in the
new building totals to something more
than ten acres also makes the use of
the words bureau town entirely
proper.
To dismantle the old building and
establish the bureau in the new struc-
ture without causing a serious inter
ruption in the work Of the Office was
one of the most difficult tasks ever
undertaken by bureau chief.
To facilitate the moving of ma
chimes and other articles from one
building to the other Director Ralph
had a heavy board walk constructed
between the two structures, for the
pavement and sidewalk along that
section of Fourteenth street was quite
uneven. Hand-drawn trucks and
heavy hauling drays were used in
moving most of the things, while skids
and rollers were utilized in transport
ing the heavy presses and other ma
chimes.
The new home for the bureau of en-
craving and printing is said to be the
finest factory in the world. 1t is said
to surpass any privately owned fac
tory from every standpoint In plan
ming the building two things were
kept in view at all times-namely to
provide a structure where the paper
money and stamps for the government
may be manufactured under the most
economical conditions and yet be safe
guarded in every possible way, and to
provide absolutely sanitary and cheer

DEAD AS CAESAR OR M'GINTY
Abandonment of Dead Letter Office
Auction Eliminates an interest
ing Institution.

The abandonment of the dead letter
off1ce auction sales has eliminated an
interesting institution coeval with the
government itself. Benjamin Frank
lin, the first postmaster general. inau-
gurated annual auction sales in the
dead letter office, at which all the
packages and letters unclaimed for
year or more were offered for sale to
the highest bidder. True, it was a
lottery, but in those days lotteries
were encouraged and protected by the
government. The first money appro-
priated for building the new capitol at
Washington was raised by a lottery,
and eminent persons, not excepting
ministers, were agents for the sale of
lottery tickets. Now the United States
attorney general has decided that the
dead letter sales are lottery, and the
$4,000 packages that accumulated dur
ing the past year must no longer be
disposed Of in the good old way.
The annual sale has always been
sort of 'grab-bag' affair, and furnished
a great deal Of amusement, for specu-
lators would bid vigorously, often run
ming the price up on a package which
might contain nothing more than a
hustle or brick, or a package of worth
less rags, perhaps in some instances
intended as hoax, and sometimes by
persons possessed of a mania that it
it was desirable to fill up the mail
bags in anticipation of parcel post.
