WAYS TO KEEP APPLES
experiment station Reports on the
best preaery0tlyes.

Best Personalities.
Inc Vermont experiment station has
been making some elaborate investiga-
'iohs relative to farm apple storage,
says the New England Homestead The
results indicate that there is need of
much Improvement Further attention
may properly be given the preservation
OF crop after It is produced. 1t Is as
important to preserve as II is to produce.
Trials were conducted to learn the value
OF different mechanical media in tho
preservation Of apples. Mil sawdust,
cork sawdust leaves. chopped hay, paper
wrappers and sand we're tried out.
Shrinkage and decay losses were deter
mined and estimates made as TO appear
ance and flavor. Only the mill sawdust
and the cork sawdust seemed TO possess
value.
All Of the materials used kept the ap-
pies cooler than when none were used
However, shrinkage, decay and flavor in
Jury were more fatal than the tempera-
ture. Mill sawdust from resinous woods
imparts an undesirable flavor to apples
This Is not true with hardwood sawdust.
Four kinds Of protective dips were en-
ployed to detect their influence in the
preservation Of apples. Copper sulphate.
bordeaux, lime water and paraffin were
used as immersion fluids preliminary to
storage. Bordeaux was most effective
In retarding decay and preserving flavor.
The apples kept best that were first i'm
mersed in bordeaux and then packed in
hardwood sawdust. However, apples
dipped in bordeaux kept nearly as we'll
as those dipped and placed in sawdust.
and their flavor. II anything. was better.
The structure OF the flesh and skin of
an apple have much to do with it's keep
Ing qualities. The best keepers have
firm flesh. compact tissue and a thick.
strong skin.

VERMONT INVENTIONS
CFrom the St. Adams Messenger.

Recently The Edison Monthly contain.
Cd an article on "a Ncrnouter who died
In the middle OF the last century. one
whose name is little hnown u certain
Thomas Davenport who lived in Forest-
dale, the real inventor of the electric
motor which plays such n prominent part
in the industrial life Of the day Forty
years before any other inventor had built
a dynamo, Davenport had constructed
his machine and had in operation an al
most perfect model Of the modern cleo.

mont boastcd of Il steam railway. Da-
Venport sought aid in developing his in
Ncution, but his efforts were attended by
i'll luck ana he came back to Vermont
after his search for help, sick and dis
hoart"ned and died in the little town
where h once labored In a blacksmith
shop.
Although monument has been erect-
ed in Forestdair to DavcnpOrts honor by
the Allied Electrical dissertations Of
America. the story of this mans life un-
fortunately IS unknown to most Yer.
monters. Tho majority Of us have been
giving credit to another for the inven-
uon of the electric motor, and have
thereby been deprivirg one of our own
sons of an honor which was denied him
In life. because people paid no attention
to his claims for his motor and which
certainly ought to be his in death. al
though the comfort of this belated be-
stowal of honor is not his, but Ver-
mont's
The fact is, Vermont has a much moro
splendid record of Inventive genius than
is generally known. Fulton is commons

although Fulton is to be given great
credit for his splendid work in develop-
ing a Nermonter invention and bring
