To Keep Apples In Winter.

Pick them carefully, so as not to bruise them; put them in an

out-house, exposed to the north, either in boxes, or barrels, or lying

in heaps; after they have been several weeks in this situation, pick

them over and put them in barrels which should be headed; if the

weather is not severe, let them remain in this cold situation as long

as it will be safe, without their being frozen, then remove them to the

cellar. Do not shut the windows till the severe weather comes on. Some

persons pack them, in dry chaff, or sand, and put them in barrels and

boxes in a cool garret.
