<Thc farmer's gepartmrnt, Gathering Appleß. Mr. George J. Colby, of Jonesville Vermont, communicates the follow iag excellent advice relative to gath ering and keeping apples, which we commend to the readers of the Tele graph: The season for gathering apples is approaching, and what I wish to ui-v to farmers, upon that subject is, to pick vour apples; if they are worth gathering at all, they are worth pick" ing. There are many kinds of ap ples that ought to be handled just as carefully as you would handle eggs, for what would break an egg, would bruise them, and when they are bruis ed they are spoiled for long keep ing. 13ut I suppose tlnre are many who think it is more than apples are worth to pick them : if so, it is because they do not know how to do it, and for the benefit of such I will give some thing of my plan for gathering ap ples. I have light ladders of different lengths; the one most used is about 18 or 20 feet long ; another 8 or 10 feet long; and another which is very convenient in many places, is a don - le ladder or two ladders kept togeth er at the top by letting the topround one a"swer for both, then leave out the rounds of one except the lower one, so they will shut up together and be just as handy to carry as a swing ladder, and w hen you set it up, spread tbe lower ends apart so it will stand alone. They can be made of any length, but about 10 feet is most convenient They should be made of light material; the side may be nothing more than narrow strips of boards. The lower ends of the ladder should be about 3 feet wide to prevent turning over ; the top may be as narrow as you desire it. To pick the apples, you want a half bushel basket with a hook at tached, so thai it may bo hung upon a limb or ladder round, while being filled. The barrels should be plac d as wanted at each tree, and when the basket is filled, do not pour them from the top of the barrel as you would a basket of potatoes, but lower the basket into the barrel, and then turn it over carefully. You may thin l ' this is a slow way to gather apples, but it will pay much better tlrin to shake them off. One man will pick iu this way from 10 to 15 barr' ls in a day. When the barrels are filled, they should not be headed up tight, as I have often seen recommended—for there is nothing that will spoil an ap ple quicker than shutting it up in a ciose place without nir. The best way is to leave the bar rel open, but if necessary to head them up, there should be holes in the sides of the barrels, so they may have a free circulation of air, for without it they very soon lose their taste, and become worthless, if not rotten. They be stored in open sheds, or other airy places, until there is danger of their freezing, when they may be taken to the cel lar, which should be kept cool and airy. ■ In tins way apples may be kept sound a great lengtli of time. There is generally abetter market in spring than in the fall, and if you want ap ples to eat, it is much pleasanter to have them sound and fresh than rot ten. I intended to have said some thing upon the varieties of apples which have proved most profitable to cultivate in this section, as there is a great difference, some varieties be ing much better than others, but I have already made this much longer than I will leave the rest for another .time. — G cfinantotvn Telegraph. Storing Potatoes.for Winter. AY hen potatoes are to be put away in pits, care should be taken to keep them as dry as possible, and to ven tilate pile so that no confined air shall remain. The best method is to select a high, dry lidgc, and when the pile is formed, give it a thick covering of straw, grass or stalks, with a sufficient thickness of earth *o render them secure from frost, and then cover the whole with a plank so as to turn off the water into trenches, which should surround the heaps. In forming the pile, a tube, or several of them, according to the length of the pit should be extended into the body of the heap and reach to the top of the earth, for the' Scape of heated air. These may be five or ten inches square, and in very cold weather, the opening should be closed with a bundle oi 6traw or hay. YViihjut this precau tion potatoes that are designed for seed, are asmuch injured as if they were intended for the table. Before planting time they are so much grown that their strength and vigor are so exhausted that the second growth is much weaker than the first, causing slender, sickly vines and a greatly diminished crop. Except the covering of plank .tur nip and other roots should be stored and ventilated in the same manner.— Germantown Telegriph.

Ac,, as must specially interest farmers.we have assldioiisly labored to tuaVe a journal calculated lo meet the wauts and subserve the interests of the Producing Classes. — Tint end we have at least measurably attained; fbr no other newspaper exists in America or Europe which is habitually read by nearly so many Ihiiiiersand their fam ilies as is Tiir. io-day. We shall labor to increase both the number and the satisfaction of this by far the most numeruns class of its patrons. During tlAxistence of the Whig party, this paper supported fffat party, though always sympathising with the more liberal, progressive, Anti-Slavery "wing" there of. When new Issues dissolved or transformed old organ I rations through the spontaneous uprising of the people of the Free States against the repudiation of the Mbsourl Rest/teflon, The Tribune heartiiy participated in that movement, and was kn >wn as Kepuhliran. When the long smoldering conspiracy to divide and destroy our country or reduce it entire to complete abasement to the Slave Power culminated In overt trens n and rebellion, it naturally, necessarily regarded resistance *, O this c-11- spiracy as paramount to all o|her considerations. and de voted "all its energies and efforts to the maintenance of onr Union. In every great controversy which has divided ourcouutry, It has been found 011 that side which natn rally commands the sympathy ami support of the large majority of s<,'!<uo!-uous& and the decided minority ot grog alio' and so doiiht!e-s will lie to to the last. Ardently desiiing and strlvin f«»r the early and endu ring adjustment of our Natk>naldistract|on*,The Tribune leaves thetime, the nature ami the conditions of that ad jii»t!iicnt implicitly to those lawfully in authority, con fiding in their wisdom and patriotism, anxious to aid the mi to the utmost in their arduous responsibilities and not to embarrass them even by possibility. Firmly bo. Having in the A post lie rule—'"First pure then peacea ble"—holding that the total and final extirpation of Sla very is the true and only absolute cure f>r our National ills—that any expedient that stops short of this can have but a transient and Illusory success—we.yet pro pound no theory pf "recountructio*n" and indorse none that bus K>en propounded by another—neither Sum ner s, nor Whiting's, nor any of the various Capper head devices for hchieving "Peace" by surrounding the He public into the power of its traitorous foes —but, exhor ting. the American People to have tilth in their Govern ment, to re-enforce their armies and replenish their treas ury, we believe that, if they but do their • 1 nr>. a benign Providence will indue timebi iug this fearful struggle to such a close as will Iwst subserve the true greatness of our country and the permanent well-being of mankind.
