KEEPING APPLES IN WINTER. 
At the last New York State Fair, Delos Ran¬ 
dall had on exhibition russet apples grown a 
year ago. The Utica Herald says these apples 
were plump, fresh and of good flavor, quite as 
good as the same kind of apples.are ordinarily 
on the approach of spring. We inquired as to 
the manner of keeping, and were informed that 
the apples were put up in refuse boxes obtained 
at the groceries, and in the following manner: 
A layer of dry sawdust was sprinkled in the bot¬ 
tom of the box, and then a layer of apples 
placed on it so that they did not touch each 
other. Upon these was placed a layer of saw¬ 
dust, and 60 on until the box was filled. The 
boxes, after being packed in this way, were 
placed on the wall in the cellar, up from the 
ground, where they kept perfectly, retaining 
their freshness and flavor until brought out and 
exhibited at t he fair. He says that he has kept 
apples in this way some months later than the 
time named. 
From experiments made with dry sand, pack¬ 
ing the apples in the same way, he finds that 
sawdust is much superior to the sand, the latter, 
he thinks, being too heavy a material and press¬ 
ing the apples too much, causing them to decay 
more rapidly than with sawdust. The above 
experiment, perhaps, may be suggestive to those 
desiring to preserve apples late in the season of 
next year. 
It will be needless to remark, perhaps, that 
no apple will keep late, by any process of pack¬ 
ing, that has heen bruised or injured in picking. 
Apples should be handled carefully, and the less 
moving about after having been picked the bet¬ 
ter. A large part of the fruit grown and sold 
in market has been so injured by careless gath- 
ering, pouring into barrels, and rough handling 
while being driven to market, that It soon de¬ 
cays, under whatever treatment it may be sub¬ 
jected for the purpose of keeping. 
A correspondent of the Country Gentleman, 
on the Bitrno subject, Bays: “You ask for the 
experience of othcr& In reference to picking 
apples. My experience is that apples should be 
kept in a dry building until quite cold weather; 
then very carefully picked over and removed to 
a cool cellar, and headed in air tight barrels. 
They will keep better than by any other treat¬ 
ment I ever tried. A cellar for keeping fruit 
should be well drained, but should not have the 
bottom made of hydraulic cement. Cement 
prevents evaporation, and as the coolness of a 
cellar is caused by evaporation mainly, It is im¬ 
portant that nothing be done to prevent this.” 
THE AREA OF GRAPE LANDS- INFLU¬ 
ENCE OF WATER. 
As the fruit ef the vine h is become one of 
the staple crops of our country it becomes im¬ 
portant to ascertain how widely its cultivation 
may extend. There are certain physical reasons 
why the vine cannot be successfully grown ex¬ 
cept in a few localities: I mean in consequence 
of the prevalence of late spring and early fall 
frosts. The kind and quality of soil has much 
less to do with it, the vine flourishing upon 
every kind of soil, from the stifTest day to the 
lightest drift soils of sandy loam aud gravel. 
But of what avail is it for the vine to put forth 
the thriftiest shoots, loaded with blossom bnds, 
promising an abundant yield of fruit, If the 
pinching frost in one night can wither them all 5> 
Then, again, if by chance they escape in the 
spring and the vines carry their precious load 
through the summer mouths, aud autumn 
comes, bringiug rich color to the thickly hang¬ 
ing clusters, and onr hearts begin to rejoice In 
view of the harvest, all may be dashed in an 
hour by the work of that same ruthless , biting 
frost that so fitfully spared us in the spring. 
In view of the uncertainties of grape growing 
from this cause it becomes a pertinent question, 
whether there be auy localities comparatively 
free from untimely frosts. It has become a well 
established fact that there are such localities on 
the borders of large bodies of deep and cold 
fresh water. This protection is wholly due to the 
softening influences of the water upon the at¬ 
mosphere. The water being a much denser 
fluid than the air changes its temperature far 
less rapidly. During the summer months the 
water of onr lakes acquires a temperature (1 
think,) of about 55°, which is 20° or more above 
that of the atmosphere during a freezing night. 
In Nature’s efforts to preserve an equilibrium be¬ 
tween the two bodieB in contact the water im¬ 
parts a portion of its latent heat to the air, 
which causes it to expand and rise. To pevent 
a vacuum there is a constant rush of cold air 
from near the surface of the adjacent land to 
supply its place, which in its turn is warmed and 
rises to a considerable height and flows inland, 
thereby establishing a circular currentthe air 
near theenriace of the ground moving toward 
the lake, while higher up it is moving toward 
the land. The point where this heated air 
strikes the hills may be termed the isothermal 
line of greatest heat; this line varies in altitude 
at different times. During a visit to Pleasant 
Valley the -id ult. I could trace this line perfectly 
from the effects of a slight frost which occurred 
in September. The leaves of the vines near the 
road in the valley were considerably seared, 
while as the eye ascended the hill its effects be¬ 
came less and les3 apparent, until the vineyards 
on the highest ground were entirely untouched. 
I also observed the 6ame while visiting the vine¬ 
yards of Chatauqua county, near Fredonia, on 
the shore of Lake Erie the 16th ult. On the 
level land near the lake the effects of the heavy 
frosts of the 5th and 6th nit. were quiteapparent; 
but as we began to ascend the hills we reached a 
point where the foliage was wholly untouched, 
and yet the hills are from three to five miles 
from the lake. Confirmatory of the theory ot 
the circular current of air on the borders of our 
THE TO-KALON GRAPE. 
Turn grape was raised in Lansinburg, N. Y. 
It is a vigorous grower; its foliage is large and 
abundant, and the fruit of excellent quality for 
the table. It resembles the Catawba in some 
respects, but is much darker in color, and ripens 
earlier. Thevalueof this grape would be greatly 
enhanced If it were not liable to rot; It, is, per¬ 
haps, too risky to plant it lagely in vineyards, 
but single vines Bhonld be found in every fruit 
garden. 
lakes during a frosty night, a gentleman living 
on the shore of Lake Erie informed me that 
there was a strong breeze blowing directly 
toward the lake during the whole of the nights 
of the 5th and 6th of October, the time of big 
frosts. 
If this be the trne philosophy of the cause of 
the freedom from untimely frosts along the bor¬ 
ders of lakes, it would naturally follow that In 
the same latitude the larger and deeper the body 
of water the more uniform and perfect would be 
the protection — comparatively small bodies of 
water being sufficient to keep off common frosts, 
but during unusual freezeB, like the one before 
mentioned, it is not sufficient, aB seen by the de¬ 
struction of the grape crop along the shores ol 
Crooked and Seneca Lakes, while the vineyards 
along the shores or Lake Erie, except in a few 
of the lowest pluces, were ueariy unharmed. 
One of the oldest inhabitants remarked to me 
he had never known a harder frost thus early in 
the seasou since the year 1806. I have received 
to-day a letter from a gentleman living near 
Fredonia, on the range of hills three miles from 
the lake, bearing date Nov. 5th, stating that 
there had not been sufficient frost to kill the 
leaves on his vines or even the tomato vlne 3 in 
his garden. 
As compared with the whole area of onr 
country the amount of land under the influence 
of our lakes is small. Probably one or two 
millions of acres would cover it all, I learn that 
in France alone thero are five million acres of 
vines. The strip of grape land bordering our 
small inland lakes will not average more than 
from one-half to one mile in width. That upon 
the shore of Lake Erie will average about five 
miles, there being a range of hills lying parallel 
with the lake from three to six miles distant. 
All within the top of this range of hills is under 
the influence of the water and thoroughly pro- 
tected from frosts. Most of the vineyards are 
as yet set upon the level plain near the lake, bat 
I think experience will teach that the adjacent 
hills are the best grape lands, especially near the 
point of elevation where the current of heated 
air from the lake strikes them. The sweetest 
and best ripened grapes I saw were in a small 
vineyard upon the Bide of this range of hills, 
probably two or three hundred feet above the 
lake. Since the land where the vine can be suc¬ 
cessfully cultivated is so limited there is not the 
slightest danger of overdoing the business; not 
even should every acre of grape land be get. 
The demand has and will increase more rapidly 
than the supply. 8 am’L Mitchell.

Pkopagatiko Blackhekries.— (Benhadad, Mass.) 
The email, thread-like roots of the blackberry will 
not answer to make cuttings of, even if you have 
steady bottom heat, You might possibly tempt 
some of them to make a feeble growth, but the suc¬ 
cess would not repay the cost. 
The bunches, as our engraving shows, are 
large and shouldered; the berries are thickly 
covered with bloom, very dark in color, and 
vary in form from oval to oblate. The fruit, 
when ripe, is without foxiness In its aroma, and 
is devoid of toughness or acidity in its pulp. 
It ripens earlier than the Isabella. It is proba¬ 
ble that the tendency to rot might be checked, 
in a measure, by planting in soils not over rich 
in organic matter.

GRAFTING PEARS UPON THE THORN. 
For the benefit of O. J. E., I will give my 
experience. Some ten years since I grafted 
about eight or ten different sorts into the top 
of a large thorn bush, thinking that perhaps 
6 ome of them might succeed. Some of the 
sorts barely lived through the first season, 
several made a good growth, and one In par. 
ticular grew enormously. Within two years 
most of the kinds died out, but the one which 
seemed best suited lived some six or eight 
years, never hearing a decent specimen in the 
whole time. Perhaps young stocks might do 
better if grafted close to the ground, but pear 
stocks are so easily obtained that thorns are 
hardly worth the trial. I suspect that the 
Hawthorn is bettor than common bur thorn. 
Cobbett’s American Gardener states (I think) 
that It has long been need In England as a stock 
for the pear. If any of the readers of the Rural 
have known of its having been tried, will they 
please to tell how it succeeded ? Bknhadad.

OSIER WILLOWS—PETITION FOR TARIFF. 
Dear Rural: —Congress is about to meet. 
One of their first, and most important duties is 
the revision of the Tariff, If there is ever to be 
any equality of protection it is time Willows 
should come in for their just share. Will you 
please publish the following Petition ? And 
will every cultivator or manufacturer of Wil¬ 
lows, East and West, immediately copy it, or 
write abetter one, sign it and send it to his 
member Congress ? Tliis session of Congress Is 
short. Let there be no delay in sending for¬ 
ward these petitions. The workers In Wood 
and Iron are awake. The growers of the Osier 
are as yet a “feeble folk;” but they will be 
stronger when they wake up. E. Chadwick. 
Dundee, Yates Co., Nov. 28,1866, 
PETITION. 
To the Honorable Senate and House of Represent¬ 
atives of the United States: — The undersigned, 
engaged In the culture or manufacture of the 
Osier Willow, respectfully represent, that large 
quantities of Osier WillowB are now grown In 
the United States ; that the demand for Willow 
Ware is great, aud constantly increasing; that 
this country Is well adapted to the growth of 
Willows, and the American Willows areol au 
perior quality to the imported, being preferred 
by all manufacturers of Willow Ware; and yet 
that large quantities are imported, produced by 
the cheap labor of Europe, and paying but a 
meager duty ( W© believe only 80 per cent.,) on 
the low price for which they are purchased 
abroad; that this duty, whilst too low for rev¬ 
enue, is much too low to stimulate or foster 
American industry iu producing this useful 
commodity. 
We therefore respectfully ask that a duty be 
placed upon the Importation of Willows, both 
raw and manufactured, equal, according to their 
value, to the duties upon Iron, Wool and Wines. 
APPLES HALF SWEET AND HALF SOUR. 
D. W. Kei.set, Manlius, OnondagaCo., N. Y., 
sends us some specimens ot an apple which he 
claims to be half sweet and half bout. In the 
accompanying letter ho says:—“The grafting, 
or budding was done some thirty-five years ago. 
The buds were split and put together in four 
parts, alternately of Rhode Islaud Greening and 
Golden Bwee.N, waxed all over and tied. The 
yellow parts (on the fruit) are generally sweet, 
and the green parts sour. The division, of taste 
runs from the stem to the blow end.” 
We bunded the fruit over to a competent 
“tasting committee,” whose opinion was that 
the apples did not present in their different sec¬ 
tions any variation of fiavor sufficient to war¬ 
rant culling them half sweet and half sour. It 
was remarked by several who tasted these 
apples that as much difference iu taste conld bo 
found In specimens of any variety partly ex¬ 
posed to the lull sun and partly shaded during 
the period of maturing. 
Eluhdalk Rawberby.— H. A. I’Kiuir of Iowa, 
furnishes the Prairie Farmer with an account of this 
new variety, whtch originated in that State. He says 
It Is a purplish red berry, resembling the Purple 
Cane, hut twice as large and a more raw pan (.grower; 
that tt has the habit of the Blackcap iu rooting at. the 
tips of the cones; is a much stronger grower than 
the Doolittle, aud endured the Cold of last winter un¬

the same exposuro being either killed or much in¬

a buttered tin or plate; set it to cool; If it is 
brittle, or If it does not Btlck to the fingers, It is 
boiled enough ; pour into buttered tins; when 
it cools you can work it with your hands, after 
having buttered them a little. Antoin.

HOW TO PRESERVE CIDER. 
Eds. Rural New-Yorker:— In the spring of 
1864, while stopping with Mr. Ebastcs Hop¬ 
kins of White Lakt^ Mich., I was shown, and 
tasted, some cider which had been scalded the 
previous fall, and barrelled, not bottled up, 
and no cider which I have ever seen, put up in 
the ordinary ways (with lime, mustard, Ac.,) 
could compare with it iu flavor. 8 ince then I 
have treated some in the same way, and found 
it a very palatable drink, until It was all gone, 
(sometime in July, I think.) 
Mr. Hopkins’ plan was to let the cider work 
Itself clear, boil fifteen or twenty minutes, and 
then barrel in good clean caskB, leaving the 
bung out until the cider became cooL
