Care in Keeping Apples

 

            There are greater difficulties in marketing fruit successfully than in marketing any other farm product.  Even the best keeping apples will waste enough under ordinary care between fall and spring to more than off-set their increased price at the latter season.  Most farm cellars are too warm to store fruit successfully, and if ventilated to keep them cool, it makes the living rooms above too cold.  A cellar half below is best for storing fruit.  This can be ventilated, and in the very coldest weather a stove can be heated to prevent danger of the fruit freezing.
