Drying Apples.
Dried apples are u»ed as a neces9i tj
in place of green apples.. -They are
not to be compared, of course, with
the fresh, juicy fruit. This is in
consequence of an error on the part of
those who dry them. Almost any ap
ples are taken to dry. Would a man
take such to eat —to nse for cooking.
We eat bad apples only when we get
them in the dried state. Not only
that, we get them in a bad state, part
ly rotten, sticking together, often
fly specked. It is the habit more
than any thing else that gives such
apples; we are also somewhat care
less and considerably ignorant. We
are not, or do not realize it, that an
apple dried is much the same that it
was before it dried, excepting the
juice. Thus a sour apple will be
sour when dried, fully sour *n in its
green rtate. If hard and immature,
those qualities will be measurably re
tained. If your apple is sweet, you
get a sweet dried. Jf it has a good
tlavcr when green, thai flavor will be
retained when dried. If the fruit is
mellow, when dried it will retain its
mellowness. The best dried appls,
perhaps, that are ÜBed, are tho
AEiopus Spftzenbtrgs—not when
made up as soon at picked ; but when
in a mellow stato as, they will be in
February or March, or earlier if the
season is warm. Made thon, when
a fly has no access to thom, and prop*
erly dried, there is nothing finer, save
the prefectio* of the green fruit itself.
Thus, winter drying of fruit is better
than when made earlier. The dried
fruit then is cloan, bright and mel
low, and not harsh and sour—not
tasting of Totten snd mold, unless
carelessly managed, dried too slow,
and premitted to get damp during
the process (as the case somewhat
rights in absence of fire,) or af;er ;
for fruit when day, must be kept dry.
Treated thus, dried fmit is but lit
tle below fresh fruit. Try it.
Dried apples may be made of an ex
celent flavor, in the following man
ner : After stewing them, or
cooking thsm down to a
Boft mass, add (a few minutes before
taking them up) a lemon ol two, sli
ced thin an J stir well into the mass.
Home persons who are unacquantcd
with the method, take them for some
very superior fruit. It make- a very
nice fruit for the supper or breakfaßt
tabic.
Preserveing- Cabbages-
The following mode of putting up
cabbage for winter and spring use,
which we know by experience to be
a good way we copy from that most
valuable work, Gardening for profit, a
work which every farmer should have:
"Cabbages are preserved very sim
ply ; they are loft out as late as they
can be pulled up by the roots, in this
section, about the end of November,
they are then pulled up and turned
upside down—the roots up, the heads
packed close together, in beds six
feet wide, with six feet alley between-,
care being taken to have the ground
leveled where the cabbages are pla
ced, so that they pack nicely. They
are left in this way for two or three
weeks, or as long as the gro«nd can
be dug between the alleys, the soil
from which is thrown in on the beds
of cabbages, so that whpn furnished,
they have a covering of fouror six in
ches of soil. This is not enough to cov
er the root,however, which ss left part
ly exposed, but this is in no way ins
jurioua. Some prefer to cover them
at once by ploughing a furrow, shovle
ing it out wide enough to receive the
heads of tho cabbages, and then
turning the soil in on the heads, and
BO continuing until beds of six or
©ight are thus formed. This plan is
rather more expeditious than the fors
mcr, but it lias the disadvantage of
compelling them to be covered up at
once by soil, while the other plan
delays it two or three weeks later,
and it is of the utmost importance in
preserving vegetables that the oper
ation (particularly the final covering)
be delayed as late as the seasons
will premit. Geneaally more are
lost by beginning too soon than de
laying too late. Onions, we find, are
best preserved in a barn or stable
loft, in layere from eight to ten inches
deep, covered up with about a foot of
hay or straw on the approch of se
vere frost. The great points to be
attained are a low temperature anil
a dry atmosphere ; these will bear
twenty degrees of forst without injury
provided they are not moved while
frozen, but they will not stand a re
duction of temperature much lower
than this without iujury."
Some Poor Practices.
To attempt to fatten three hogs
1200 pounds of pork on just as much
feed as would keep two nicely grow
ing. £
To estimate agricultural fairs as
arrant humbngs, and spend three
days every month saving the country
at political meetings.
To depend upon borrowing your
neighbers' rakes, mowers and all sorts
of implements in haying and harvest
time.
To house up a thousand bushels of
grain, waiting for a rise, and till one
tenth has gone to rats and mice, and
the remainder smells like the essence
of rat, and the price is down forty
per cent.
To plant a big orchard of fruit trees 1
with a first thought of money making
aad leave thetn to do or die.
To keep two fancy five hundred
dollar carriage horses, and pay six
dollars a day for a team to plough.
It is probably a poor practice to
call "book learning" all tiocb, to ig
norance news and agricultural pa
pers. and attempt to kfrep an even
yolk with your progressive neighbor
by main strength and Btupidness.—

A Positive Remedy tor all Kiudsoi Uumors,
PARTtCCtKRLT
ERYSIPELAS, NETTLE RASH, SALT RHtUM,
SCROFULA, CARBUNCLES, ROILS AND PILES
It is very gratifying to snjr of this, or of any other
medicine, 4 It is the very best reiTa-dy known." It is
not always so easy t . prove It. It is. however, exceed
ingly gratifying to the Proprietor of this medicine, that
while ne declares to th*-pqhlic that this is a most won
derful and effective specific for Humors, as stated ab«»ve,
he has abundant proof a hand to sustain bis statement
Foi sixteen years the Humor Doctor hal been manu
factured and sold, and every year ha* inctensed the
value of its reputation and the amount of its snles.—
In Npw Hampshire, where'ft originated, no remedy for
huuiors is so highly prized. An eminent physician
(now an army surgeon) when pracf!sing In New Hump
shire, puichased between flltv aud sixty gallons of it
during some seven or eight years, and used it in his
practice. He ha« since then ordered it for the Iloepl
lal where he wu stationed Other physicians littve
ordered it, aud have used it in prnctice with grext suc
cess When the [ toprietor lived In New Hampshire at
Oolfstown Center, for the space of thirty or forty miles
around, and in Manchester particularly, the Humor
Doctor was well known and highly valued lor the nu
merous and wonderful cure* which it Though
manufactured fu large quantities the supply wis Ire
qtfenfly exhaustf d, and purchasers had to wait f»r more
Erysipelas were treated*wPtb—atid tliey weie cured.—
Er>sipelafc sores, or carbuncles, those ugly, painful Gl
eets. were entirely removed wherever thU medicine was
faithfully used, to it was with scrofula and Salt Rheuui.
The llnmor Doctor cured them.
l or the sake of showing what Is thought of it, a>f'w
testimonials are here inserted :

DR. POLAND, I received your letter enquiring as to
the effects of your medicine on se.i-sickne«t. I»IM liap
py to say that I think it is ♦« the medicine' f-r that
ureadftil sickness. I tried various_ preectiptbuia, but j
found none that settled the stomach and cleared the
head like the llnmor Doctor. I felt a* though I could
hardly wait to get ashore, to entreet *cu to intrduce it
Into ship chandlery stoies, that it may flndlta way to
those who suiter up-n the mighty deep Irotn sea sick- ,
ness. If captains who take tneir famllioa wi»h them, !
or carry passengers, should try it tor tmce. they wouid
never be willing to voya.e without it.
1 have used it for my funiily Since its Introduction to
the public lor Ullious habits, headache and humors
aWrt my children, fcnd have always fvuud it a sure
1 am not fond of having my name appear In public,
and would not consent lo it on a/13 other account but to
relieve tlie suffering ; but if the foregoing will bo of any
service to you or the public, you fa malfe use of it.

Much mors might be said in relation to this medicine,
