TUE WINTER pun SU1'1'1,X
(T9xperhneutal nulls Note)
With the option , ok' apples,
,grapes and peas there are aro fruits
of our own production which eau bo
culled winter fruits, but of these
three sorts.every householder may.
have an abundant supply in good con«
Men until at least the muddle of win-
tor.
Three prime requisites are nacos•'
sary to keep in mind when sarin 'hl
a supply of fruit for winter, Tho'
first is the selection of: tbo proper
vsrioties,- the secoyfd is .the selection
of only firm fruits, free 'from bruises
and disease or insect injury; and the
third is proper conditions of storage.
With regard to the first, the follow-•
ing is •a list of winter, varieties of ap-
ples, pears• and grepos which, when
free from disease and injury and
stored under proper, conditions, will
keep anywhere groin January tip • to
May. • •
Well-known Winter Varieties of.
Apples of Good Quality, -
Variety Season
McIntosh, November to January..
Famouse, October to January -tat. ,
Rhode Island Greening, December 'to
February.
I{ing of Tompkins, November to Fe-
uary.
Wagienerbr, November to February. '
Northern Spy, January to May.
Golden Russet, January to May.
• The, above varieties. are all good
and toter rho -entire winter season if
proper, selection is Made.
Among• Pears the Following are
Desirable for •Winter 'Use:
Josephine, Mid -winter.
Kieffer (rathci poor quality) October
to January,
Lawrence, December.
Winter; Leics, Mid -winter,
GRAPES: Normally. the grape is
not a winter fruit, but, stored under
good conditions, the few varieties
mentioned here may be successfully
kept until the last of February. Her-
bert, Barry, Vergennes, Agawam,
Lindley.
STORING: In the storage of all
fruits a cold, moderately moist room
is necessary. Fruit stored- in a dry,
warm cedar will not keep. Storing at
as near frecszing -•as..possible, with-
out allowing the temperature to drop
to 32 deg. 1., will insure the Maxi--
mum
naxi-nihil time for the retention of the
quality of the product.
By wrapping apples and pears in
paper and then placing in boxes which
are covered the juiciness grid firmness
of the fruit is easier to retain. This
is especially true of the Golden Rus-
set, one of the best keeping -apples but
one liable to S't„7duel i'f kept in any
place but a cold, moist cellar. Wrap-
ping is a great help in keeping Rus-
sets.
Grapes should be wrapped in paper
and stored in six -quart baskets which
should be covered. If the grapes can
be obtained with a large piece of vine
attached to the bunch and a few leaves
before they are killed by frost, the cut
end of the vine may be inserted in a
bottle of water through a hole in a
stopper and placed away "in a cold
place. In this manner the fresh
sprightliness may be retained for
many months.

TFHS CHRISTMAS
Furniture has always been one of the most popular,
most appropriate and most useful. of Christmas Gifts
rTTI-1I$ year itis doubly so, because of the move,
ment "to beautify the home" that is; at
• present, sweeping across the world. Therefore,
gifts that will help to make the horn more attrac-
tive,
ttracttive, more refined, more comfortable and more
hospitable, are particularly timely this Yuletide.
Christmas in the Dining c« oom ,
Just think how much more delicious ra,c1 mare

room that is furnished to reflect the good cheer •
and warm hospitality„ that are associated with.
Christmas time.
Why not give "The Home", itself, a gift of
a beautiful new dining room suite? "The Home"
is just as deserving of a Christmas gift as the
individuals. who live itr "The Home" and to•
whom it is the dearest place in all the world.
A Fcunidy Gift
Let all the familylb together and give "The
club
Home" a real, true Christmas gift. If not a
dining room suite, then a Chestdrfield suite, or
some bright, cheerful sun -room furniture, or a
riclrlybdesigned library table, or a handsome chair,
or anattrective, decorative hall seat and mirror,
or some other appropriate piece of furniture.
For members of the family there are more
°
*than a score of suitable gifts of furniture.
For father or big brother, one of the handiest
and most welcome 'of giftsis a Chifforobe or
Chifforette. It -1s a real aid in keeping clothes,
shirts, ties, etc,, in snout orderly shape.
For mother, there's the curate or the tea -wagon
and tray that she's been wanting -for etrch a long

time, Or wouldn't she be 'happy if she were
to receive a modern vanity dresser, or a little
bedroom roclrer, or a sewing Cabinet, or.a charm-
ing writing desk.
Afore u'"urrt€trans Stggestions
For the musical daughter what would be more
appropriate than a handsome piano bench or an
artistically designed mus

And for baby, there's the cute little cot, or a
high chair, or a small table grid chair, or a suite
of juvenile bedroom furniture.
For the friends that are dear to your there is
noticing more appropriate or that more truly
represents faithful, lasting friendship than gats of•
beautiful furniture.
For men friends, there's the smoking table or
stand, the bench on which to rest the feet, the card
table, the easy chair..
For womOb friends, there's the bedroom box,
and many kinds of artistic tables and chairs.
As a present to a man and his wife, what
could be more suitable than a telephone table and
chair., a flower box, a jardiniere stand, a floor or
table. lamp, a pedestal, a reading table or a
fireside bench ?
Tokens -'of Happiness
Gifts of furniture are gifts of cheer and
happiness. Unlike many other gifts, they have
the advantage of permanency. A piece or a suite
of furniture is a lasting token of your love or
• friendship for the person to whom it is given.
And it will help to beautify the home, which
makes it the ideal gift—a

our straight line coal, evidently the
price was no indication of the quality,
as has been the case with a -great
many things in recent times. In our:
own particular case the circum tan -
stances have been as follower We
have been particularly' fortunate in
having a straight line connection with
the two giteat American Coal produc-
ing companies, since the amalgama-
tion of the Forbes and Holloway
businesses, and last year secured
from these two. companies sufficient
coal for our orders. This summerAve
sat tight expecting to get the same
tonnage of our good coal as usual,
and from one company we did, which
coal we sold at from $15.00 to $17.50,
but the other company fell so inch
short in their tonnage that we had to
fall back on jobbers coal. In• Sep-
tember we bought a couple of cars
of the jobbers coal We noticed it
was not up to the mark and put it
in our bins. People said we were
holding it for higher prices. There
was some truth in it. But had they
known all the truth, they would have
knowxi that we did .not want to put
poor Coal out with our own straight
line stuff, and also that at the price
we paid for it, it could not. be sold at
$17.50 or even at $20.50 and make a
legitimate margin. Instead of .fm-
prbvelnent from then on until now
the situation has been becoming
AN APOLOGY
"Open confession is good for the
soul", So it becomes my duty to
apologize for the quality of some of
the deal that we 'lave been distribu-
ting lately. The coal which we ordin-
arily handle under ordinary circum-
stances, and the coal that has passed
through our' offices in past years, has
always been of high quality and
standard preparation, and while the
1'ew cars of jobbers coal, which it
beacon necessary for us to handle,
cost a great deal more motley than
worse, 8811 for every car of straight
line coal, we have been getting at
$10.00 at the mines, we have been
getting two cars of jobbers coal at
$16.00 at the mines. This makes an
average of $14.00, and with the
American freight raised to $3.64 per
ton, this puts our coal at $17.64 at
the Canadian Border, spot cash pay-
ment, which by the way is another
inconvenience which we are forced to
pass on to our customers, off course
this 17.64, is for a gross ton which
reduces by calculation to $15.78 per
net tones This coal is now at the
American Border, and has to be paid
01 American funds, acrd with ex-
change ranging from 12 to 15% you
may safely add $2.25 per ton for ex-
change. We are now at $17.98 and
still going strong. Add $1.90 per
ton for Canadian freight, and .70¢
per ton for delivery to the dollar and
we have coal which costs us $20.58,
provided the weight we pay for holds
out, which very seldom happens
when reweighed to our customers. So
the person who thinks the coal man's
lot a pleasant one, has another
thought coming. However we be-
lieve the worst iseover. We are ex-
pecting more of our line dealers af-
ter the close of navigation. We also
believe that most of the people who
are -kind enough to trust their orders
with us, have now got sufficient coal
to give thein la good start for the
