the reasop of it is we are iuformod by a leading packer they arc kopt in too warm quarters apples should bo kept at a temperature of 32 in clear fresh air if possible they will keep better in closed barrels and placed on their sides elevated from the floor to permit the air to circulate all around barrels that are opened for use are also better standing elevated from the floor and kept covered from the air scabby apples arc belter out of the barrel and spread in a dry place in opening a barrel for use it is advisable to open tho bottom to use first as the pressing process squeezes the apples at tho bot tom which is the end that is pressed and will not keep as long as the face end which is placed in carefully- by hand steins downward and where the choicest apples are put in order to
