HARVESTING FALL AND WINTER APPLES Apples as They Gro (By m nonnrvrs coxovicn ) That apples may reach maturity, properly, It is necessary that they de velop under normul conditions. Wormy or diseased apples ripen pre maturely and will not keep. Fruit that is to bo kept for winter, must not mellow on the trees, nor soon nfter picking. Healthy winter apples aro yet imma ture in lato summer. That Is why they do not ripen under tho waim August sun that mellows tho pears and peaches and fills the purple grapes with sweetness. At this time, winter apples should not hnvo colored, nor uulto uttalned to their full .growth. During the early fall when the days are shorter and tho heat less Intense, maturing of the winter apples is slower than with summer varieties and this retarded process seems to insure firmer flesh and tougher skin than Is the case with summer varieties. During late Septembe.r and early October, the sap flow Is gradually les sening. The leaves turn to yellow and brown. The apples are now fully matured, colored and as far as growth is concerned, ready to come off but naturo will yet do something for tho fruit. Tho succulent vegetation which dovelopcil tho squash and pumpkin, has been severed from their fruits by the careful grower, but this rule need not apply In the case of the winter tree fruits. The tree having withdrawn its exub erant sap flow, tho fruit does not stand risk from frost. Under the influence of tfio cool nights tho skin of tho ap Tlo brightens and toughens. COMBATING INSECT PESTS IN ORCHARD Remove All Refuse, Such as De cayed Fruit, Dead Leaves, Limbs and Trees. The orchard should bo thoroughly cleared of all refuse such as decayed fruit, dead leaves, limbs and trees, Just after harvesting the fruit. Thero Is only one way to produce good fruit and that is to keep tho orchard in a healthy condition and as free as pos sible of the many ravenous pests, that would, if not held in check, quickly de stroy It. Where rubbish Is allowed to remain In an orchard, especially through the winter season, It makes a good har bor for Insects; but If removed and burned will destroy a large portion of thorn. Every sucker, dead limb and tree should bo removed from the orchard as well as all refuse under the trees for upon these useless branches and trees and under the rubbish winter tho ijneinies which next spring will lay -tho eggs which will produce thousands of pests. Thero are many insects and fun gous growths which never begin their attacks until tho treos aro commencing to die from somo other causo, but hasten tho death of sickly trees and then spread to tho others. Somo persons will often permit dead trees io stand year after year in their orchards to decay whllo others will simply cut tho trees down and pllo them until tho Insect llfo which they contain has developed Into myriads and passed on to attack tho nearby living trees. Dead trees should never bo cut down and tho roots loft In tho ground. They must be taken out roots and all for tho roots contain Insects which If not re moved will pass to the roots of other trees. Two of the most destructive Insects wo have to trees aro tho root borer and tho bark beotlo. They aro both easily dotected. The root-borer can be found near the surface boring its way Into tho roots while tho presenco of tho bark-beotlo Is notlceablo by tho limbs and body of tho treos containing small holes as though a chargo of buckshot had been fired Into them. If those onomlos are allowod to run tholr course tho result will bo..tho death of tho trees. Tho birds aro our host friends and tho very best means of destroying all Insect posts and should bo oncouragod to llvo and nest In tho orchards. Thero Is scarcely a bird that Is not worth moro than its weight In gold bocauso of tho many Insects It destroys. w on Long Island. This ability that fruits and veg etables hnvo for strengthening their tissues In the autumn sunshine. Is called curing, and whilo vegetables nnd many fruits must bo separated from tho parentplants to porfect this process, tho winter trco fruits nro nat urally subjected to this curative proc ess In that tho trco no longer lifts such quantities of sap to the fruit, and tho sleih instend of convoying mois ture, becomes merely a means of sus pending tho fruit In tho sun nnd air where It cures. Tho wise farmer likes to sco two or threo frosts upon his applo crop be foro ho gathers it. The next essential Is to gather tho fruit without bruising it. Hand picked they must be for winter keep ing. After gathering, the fruit should not bo allowed to He long in heaps upon tho ground, but should bo sorted and kept In a cool, airy building until bar reled. Doublo-headed barrels aro used for those apples destined for storage. Tho finest specimens aro placed at tho bot tom nnd top of the barrel with good fruit In tho center. Only fair apples aro used for this. Specked or bruised fruit Is rejected and sold In open barrels for Imme diate use. Tho barrels are shaken lightly, In order to Insure their being full. A good heading device Is imperative wh6re a largo crop is to bo handled. Apples to bo held for shipment or stored for home uso, should bo kept in a temporature ranging between 32 to 40 degrees neither higher or lower. GOOD TREATMENT NEEDED BY PLUMS Dropping of Fruit Before Maturity May Be Prevented by Giv ing Proper Attention. (Ily BESSIE L. PUTNAM.) Thero is a common complaint among those who have plum trees, that the plums always drop before maturity. This can be easily prevented by prop er treatment. It Is usually duo to lack of nourishment, late frost, or thu curcullo most frequently to tho lat ter, though often the two enter atf damaging factors. In early spring whllo tho ground Is still frozen, mulch heavily with horso manure. This serves tho doublo pur pose of supplying tho necessary plant food, and eft holding tho frost In tho ground, nnd' retarding tho growth of tho buds until danger from frost Is over. After the wenthor becomes set tled, tho coarse part of tho mulch should bo raked off and lomovod, leav ing tho flno part to contribute Its richness to tho soil. Just beforo tho buds open, spray with paris green or london purplo for curcullo, using In proportion of one pound of tho arsenlto to 300 or 3D0 gallons of water. Stone fruits ro qulro a more dilute solution than np pies. ' Paris green Is less liable to burn tho follago, though wo havo ourselves used tho london purplo for years, with no bad results. I3y mixing tho nrsenite with twice Its bulk of lime onq may guard against injury .to tho leaves A cheap, tin pump, costing only n dollar, has proved all that Is needed for tho spray, though If ono wished to uso bordeaux mixture, tho brass pump would bo required. I Novcr spray when tho trees aro In bloom, as this will bo fatal to any noes in tno neighborhood; besides, the best time for the preservation of your fruit Is Just beforo tho burin nnnn I just after tho petals fall, and still agnin two weoKs later. If this la thoroughly done thoro will bo no moro trouble from curcullo. When tho trees aro small enough to be eahlly handled, jarring every morn ing Into sheet spread for the purpose, will load to tho enpture of this post, as It goes up from tho ground to Its work. Tho Insects' method of work Is this: It cuts a tiny flap out of tho finbryo plum, deposits Its egg, and leaves It to hatch, whero tho larva will find tho table lltorally spread for It. Plums arp "rich, wholesome, deli cious. No other fruit requires so lit tle trouble In gathering or prepara tion ; few are so well liked. Better Nmo. Tho dog was a curious creaturo with a short body and long dangling cais. Tho newsboy owner wns proud, how ever, as ho held It in leash. "What klndo purp is it?" nsked an acquaintance. "Dachsunt," replied tho nowolo. "Dash hound?" "Thai's what I said." "Dash nothing," tho other contempt uously retorted, "It looks moro like a b phen.1' Youngstown Telegrnm. Sorry for Him.

Physicians Recommend Castoria C ASTORIA, lias mot with pronounced favor on tho part of physicians, pharma- coutical sociotios and modical authorities. It is used by physicians with rosults most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably tho result of three facts: The indisputable ovidonco that it is harmless: second That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nervos, but assimi-, lates the food: Third It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil.1 It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotio and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman's Drops, Godfrey's Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, how ever, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating tho systemnot by stupefying it and our readers aro entitled to the information.
