Koermig Winter Pears.
Mr. 11. E. Hoo%,>f N^v
who lias j.n oul- j
tivatinu: and keening Mars until'lnte
in the winter.' aSTfvlli into March,
states that lie packs them in barrels
or half-barrel.- 1 , and places them in a
barn-cellar. Some cellars, he sayS,
are too damp, -which ru#« ; dth
ers too dry, which shrivels them ; and
that it can be ascertained i illy by ex
periment the situation which is ex
actly adapted. They should, howev
er, bo kept where the atmosphere is
always above the freezing-point.—
lie docs not approve of changing
the fruit to a warmer temperature for
the purpose of ripening, and yet
siys that retarding their riper:ing to
too long a period will injure their
flavor.
So far as our own -Experience ex
tends. Mr. Hooker's views are gen
erally coirre'.. We have tried vari
"ous mules of keeping pears,and can
not eay that we entirely succeeded
with any of them. We had con
structed a dark closet, filled with
shelves, where it was dry and cool,
but never frosted, the temperature
being as even as possible without ar
tificial means. The fruit was cure
fully placed upon cotton. Every at
tention was bestowed upon it, and
the result was that some of the fruit
rotted, some dried up, some was fla
vorless. Also, certain varieties said
to be not later than November, were
in fine condition near January. Ihe
"Easter Buerre" variety rotted or
dried up in December and January ;
and so on.
We next tried to keep them in a
psrtially darkened but airy closet in
*,he cellar, where the temperature is
i'roni 40 to f>o through the winter—
and the,vault teas the same —some
rotted, some shriveled up, and ndne
kept beyond the middle of January.
We next tried them wrapped sepa
rately in paper, packed in barrels,
and placed in an empty ice-house. —
The result wns that there were but
half si dozen specimens that h«>d not
lost thoir flavor; the rest were per
fectly tasteless, and had to be thrown
away. We next year put the barrels
in the house-cellar, with no better
success. The next year the fruit was
wrapped in paper, packed in boxes,
and buried more than a fool under
ground in a dry soil — where they all
rotted.
We know of several persons who
keep pears, retaining their flavor un
til May, in arched cellars, in dosets
in the cellar, in. garrets, in closets in
the house, but we have thus far failed
everywhere.
Wo believo that generally pears
can be kept beat in dark drafters, in
a lircless room of the house, laid on
something soft, and covered up.—

Storing Colery.
Wo have said a great deal hereto
fore about the cultivation of celery ;
and now, as the crop must
well grown, we shall proceed as usual
at this season, t > give some reliable
direction for preserving it through
the -winter.
Many people eomdlain of their cel
ery—one of the most difficult garden
crops to in perfection —that it
does not keep well through the win
ter —sometimes it withers, but often
er rots. It is recommended by 112 ome
that it should be preserved in the
rows where it grows, and that remo
val always more or less injures it
Where the plant is grown in soil of a
dry nature—and celery never should
be grown there—it may be kept well
in the row ; but we deny most em
phatically that removal injures it in
the slightest particular.
Wc pursue two modes and find both
to answer well. The first is to re
move the celery to high and dry
ground, dig a trench spa 'e deep,
stand up a row of plants, then three
inches of soil, then another row, and
so on until about a half dozen rows
arc finished, then commence another
bed, and so on. The soil should be
packed in firmly and banked up, so
that the tops of the celery are just
covered, then spank off roof fashion
to turn the rain. Over this two wide
boards, nailed togother should be
placed, as a security against moisture.
For remember, it is water, not front,
as some, say, that rots celery, frost
adds to its tenderness.
Another plan is to sink barrels in
to the earth, so that the tops are two
or three inches below the surface,
then stand them compactly full of
celery, without any soil, put close or
tight covers upon them, and then a
couple of inches of soil. By this
mode, somewhat more troublesome
than the other, ours kept well for the
last two or three years until all was
consumed, which was late in the
spring.
The foregoing will answer Several
late inquirers on the subject,— Ger
mautou'ii Telegraph.

REASONS WHY THE
AMERICAN WATCH
Made it WALTHAM Mass,
I H t lIC Kt'Hl .
It is made ort the best principle. It# frame is compos
ed of SOLID PLATES. No jir can Interfere with the
harmony <>f its working ami n » sudden shock can dam
age it* machinery. Krery pleeo is made and flushed
by machincrj (itself famous f»r .eltv, well as
for its effectiveness) and is therefore properly made.—
The watch i* what all mechanism should I»»—ACCU
KATK, HMI'L*-', BTttONO. AND IK'ON Ml<'AL.
Except some high grade**, too costly fa- general use.
fm-ign watches are chiefly nj ido hy woin.-n ail I boys.
Such watches are composed of several hundred pieces,
screwed and rivited t >gether, and require constant re
pairsto keep them in any kind o order. All p' .soni
who liavs carried * snores,'' ••leplnes" and "English
Patent Levers," arepeifectly well aware of the truth of
tl>'» statement.
At the beginning of our enterprise,'more than fen
years ago. it was onr obji-ct to mnk<« a thoroughlY go<al
low-priced watch for the tnillio.i. tot *k»- the place of
these foreign impositions—the tefuse of foreign facto
lies—which were entirely unsaleable it home and per
fectly worthless everywhere.
Il»*r well we have aooomplished this may b® under
stood from the fact, th it aft or BO many yours 112 public
trial, we now make MONK THAN ONfMIALF OF AM,
I II F. WATCHES B<»M> IN Til K UNITED ST A I K* nr. I
that oo other* have ev»r gfvci} sttch universal satisfac
llon. While thin department of our budness i* contin
ued with increased facilities for perfect work, we ore at
present engaged lit the manufacture of watches of the
verv lIIUUKBTGKADK KNOWN TOCIIRONOWETRY
j iiby anything hitherto made by ourselve
aijil unsurpassed by nnything made in the world. For
this purpose we hare tho amplest facilities. We have
>r • ted an addit : on to our main buildings expressly 112 r
tiiis branch of our busim-ss, and have filled it with the
la-it work in -n in our s**r»ice. New machines and appli
| ances have been constrncled, which perforin their work
; with consummate delicacy and exactness. The choicest
I and most approved materials only are usegl and weehal
! lenge comparison between thii grade of our work and
| the fluent imported chronometers. We do not pretend
i to sell our watches for test manry than foreign watches'
but we do assert without fear of contradiction that for
the tame money our product is incomparably superi or.
All our watches, of whatever grade, are fully warranted
and his warrantee is good at all times against us or our
agent* in nil (.arts of the world.
