THE NEXT FRUIT CROP.
It might seem very early to begin
to think of the next fruit crop when
the one of this year has only just been
gathered. Yet if we do not begin to
plan for it in abundant time, we may
not have so good a crop as we should.
The production of an abundant crop
is quite sure to leave the tree or plant
In a somewhat exhausted condition
and where this has been the case this
year it is especially important that
steps be taken to replenish the fer
tility in the soil. It may seem that it
is time enough to do this in the spring,
and in some cases and with some
fertilizers this is truf but there are
others with which it is not so.
While there are as many as thirteen
natural elements that enter into the
structure of about everything that
grows, there are four that seem to be
more easily exhausted from the soil
than the rest. These are nitrogen,
phosphoric acid, potash and lime.
They naturally exist in soils in such
varying quantities that it is often
very difficult to tell what is or not
present in abundance and in available
forms. In most cases onli" the actual
test of applications will tell us what
is needed. But we may be sure that
good manures wisely applied are al
most never amiss.
Nitrogen is such a volatile and eas
ily exhausted manure and sometimes
an injurious one, that it requires the
most careful and timely application
of all. Vihen the trees are pale in
foliage and the growth is feeble, it is
almost a sure indication that it is not
present in the soil in sufficient quan
tity. But fruits are not so likely to
need it as the foliage crops. In case
they do need it there is no form in
which it is more economically applied
than as nitrate of soda. Animal ref
use, such as dried blood also contains
it. Owing to the rapid solubility of
these materials, spring is the prefer
able time to apply them to the soil.
Phosphoric acid plays an important
part in the production of fruit as it
(gives vigor to the tree or vine. Ir
should not be forgotten that it is found
largely in animal bones and from this
we can get it quite cheaply. Phos
phate rock is partly composed of fossil
bones. They give the phosphoric
acid up slowly even when well dis-
solved and this is why we should apply
nearly in the spring or better yet in the
fall. This will allow time for the
further decomposition in the soil
and the chemical changes to take
place that are necessary before the
roots can absorb the fertility. Five
hundred pounds per acre is a good
application.
Potash is perhaps the most import
ant for fruits of all the manures. It
causes healthfulness and vigor of tree
or plant and makes the fruit rich and
'highly colored. Wood ashes contains
'it, but the proportions are usually
quite small. Muriate of potash con
tains fully one-half of its weight of
available potash and sulphate of pot-
ash about the same. Both are xcel
lent and cheap forms in which to apply
potash. The sooner either of them are
put in or on the soil the more com
pletely they will become prepared for
. the use of the coming fruit crop. If it
is not possible to apply them to the
ground this fall, do it early in the
spring. But above all be sure to do
it, for in most soils potash will pay
a good return. One hundred pound
per acre annually is a fair application
of either muriate or sulphate of pot
ash. Lime has a very beneficial effect,
aside from being a plant food, in help
ing to dissolve the elements of fer
tility in the soil naturally. This is
especially true of heavy clay soils, and
where humus is in excess it "sweet
ens" its acidity. About five bushels
of quick lime per acre is sufficient for
some three years.

THE ORIGINAL GREENING APPLE
TREE.
The American Cultivator says that
the original Greenins apple tree is
still standing on the farm of Solomon
Browne at Mt. Hyseia. in Xorth Fos
ter. Rhode Island. The tree was a
very old one when the farm was sold
in 1S01. The seller informed the pur
chaser that it was a pity the old
tree was going to decay, as it produc
ed the best fruit of any tree in the
orchard. The purchaser determined
to see how long ne could, keep it alive
and it still survives after almost an
other century has been added to its
venerable years. But it shows signs
of final deeay. and the parent of all
the famous Rhode Island Greenings,
which has set its grafts on the or
chards of almost all the world, will
soon be but a neighborhood memory.
It is doubtful if there is a more fam
ous apple tree to be found in all Po
mona's groves, from end to end of the
earth.
Progression is a vital factor of suc
cess. This applies to farm work as
well a other lines of occupation.

CHESTNUTS.
It is not long since the chestnut
was receiving an undue share of at
tention, but like many another fad
it soon had its day. Yet there are
many places where the tree can be
grown to advantage for utilizing waste
ground.
There are three kinds of chestnuts
which are cultivated for their fruit
the American, which is the largest,
the European and the Japanese. The
first needs a space of forty feet or
more. It makes a good shade and is
fairly ornamental. It is slow grow
ing. Some of the trees at least have
partially sterile blossoms. Generally,
more than one tree should be planted
if fruit is desired.
The European species needs less
room, about thirty feet. The nuts are
large, but not of as good quality as
the American. In Spain and Italy
thej' form an important article of
food. The trees have been planted
to a considerable extent in this coun
try, but have not met with expecta
tions. The Japanese chestnut is smaller,
having a spread of about twenty feet.
The tree is not so easily affected by
disease as the others. The nuts are
I large, but of inferior quality. Some
of the lately introduced varieties are
as good or better than the European.
Japanese chestnuts are noted for
early bearing and productivity.
Both Japanese and European chest
nuts have been extensively advertis
ed. If early bearing is desired the
Japanese is to be recommended, but
for a standard tree we prefer the
American. However, the most popu
lar of all is the Paragon which be
longs to the European, class.
WEANING LAMBS.
This question cannot receive too
careful attention. If the lambs are
not well cared for as soon as weaned
tkey will go backward, and if they go
backward at such a time, when the
winter is drawing on, it will require
quite a time of careful feeding to
bring them back again. Happy are
they who at such a time have a good
patch of rape on which to turn the
lamb. With such pastures they can
take care of themselves when removed
from the ewes. If they have been put
upon it before being weaned, so much
the better, for then they will take to
it at once, otherwise they will require
some time, it may be, to get accus
tomed to it, and in the interval they
will lose flesh.
Lambs thus provided for should do
well without being fed any grain.
Where no rape is on hand, clover will
make a good substitute. Even where
clover is absent the present season
the lambs may get along very nicely
on other pastures, they are so abun
dant. If, however, these should be
so succulent as to keep the lambs a
little thin, they ought to get a supple
ment of oats. In seasons when such
lambs must be turned on pastures
short and scant grain should be fed
to them with much freedom. The
policy is short sighted which allows
any kind of live stock to stand during
the time of its growth.

TREES OF WONDERFUL SIZE.
The Youth's Companion is authority
for the statement that on the Island of
Cos (or Kos) in the Mediterranean,
near the coast of Asia Minor, there
stands an oak twenty-five feet in di
ameter, and which a German scien
tist believes to be two thousand nine
hundred years old.
The largest tree in the United
States according to "The Christian Ad
vocate" (Xew York) is said to be at
the foot of Mount Etna, and is called
"The Chestnut Tree of a Hundred
Horses." Its name came from the re
port that Queen Jane of Aragon, with
her principal nobility, took refuge
from a violent storm under its
branches. The trunk is 204 feet in
circumference. This would mean near
ly CS feet in diameter; about four rods
well nigh incredible.
The largest tree in the United
States (it is said) stands near Bear
Creek, on the north fork of the Tule
river, in California. It measures 12S
feet in circumference. The giant red
wood tree in Xevada is 119 feet in cir
cumference. All these are surely won
derful trees.
HORTICULTURAL NOTES.
Fruit often suffers from rough han
dling. Ashes and manure make a good fer
tilizer for orchards.
Good stock creates a good market,
ready sale and a good price.
There is no better time for setting
t-ees than in the spring.
Many orchardists make a great mis
take planting trees too deep.
Apple trees should not be planted
on low lands subject to overflow.
Russian Mulberry trees are said to
be the best of all as bird feeders.
It is safe to say that every orchard,
well cultivated, can be made to pay.
For the first years of an orchard
pruning is one of the most important
items.
Of all our fruit trees, probably the
peach responds most readily to cul
tivation. In South America chrysanthemums
often measure fifteen inches in cir
cumference. Durable windows cost money, but
they are a permanent Improvement.

SWINE NOTES.
Uader all conditions one service is
better than allowing the boar entire
freedom with the sows.
In arranging the hog's winter quar
ters the most important item is to
guard against rain, wind and snow.
The farmer should be able to make
his own pork cheaper and equally as
good if not better than he can buy it.
Early breeding the maternal forces
of the sow, causing small and weak
litters with insufficient nourishment
Give no sour swill and decayed veg
etables even to hogs. Because they
will eat such stuff is no sign that they
will flourish on It.
If the sow is a good breeder don't
send her to the butcher, because she
may be two or three years old. Keep
her breeding a year or two more.
An excess of corn in the diet of the
sow and also of the young pigs is apt
to produce scours. The pigs should
have no corn until six weeks old.
"Black teeth" in pigs was once sup
posed to be the cause of nearly every
trouble they are heir to. It is a myth,
and to be classed with "hollow horn"
in cattle.
When your hogs are ready for the
market sell them. The man who
holds his pigs for a rise in price is
very often apt to lose money, while
he who sells when the hogs are ready
usually makes a profit. Hogs will
consume food enough to more than
offset the expected rise in the market.

WHY NOT HENS?
There is one field of labor that is
not overcrowded, and that is the hen
business. It is a curious fact that al
most every city man or woman who
ui earns occasionally of "going back tc
Eden" thinks of getting back some
where on a farm and starting a hennery-.
Perhaps it is due to the fact
that they know from personal experi
ence how difficult it is to get fresh
eggs, not "tolerable" eggs, but really
fresh eggs not over three days old.
It may be due to the many charms of
poultry raising, such as limited capi
tal, small area, and the joys of "set
tin" hens. We've all had the fever,
and many have succeeded.
A still more curious fact is that,
with the enormous output of the
American hen, eclipsing in annual
value many of the grain staples, the
egg market is never glutted. If guar
anteed eggs could be transported to
the city consumer they would bring
in summer double the quotations and
50 per cent more than the highest
prices in winter. If some enterprising
poultry man would date his eggs with
a rubber stamp, and by warranting the
quality and freshness of his produce,
thus establishing a reputation for
truth and veracity, he could sell all ho
could raise at big prices. The broiler,
capon and general market offer op
portunities almost as remunerative.
It is a mistake to think that limo
will take the place of fertilizers or
manure and the farmer who is led to
so use it will be disappointed.
RHUBARB WHEN YOU WANT IT.
It's nice to have a thing right at
hand when you want it. Years ago
we had all the rhubarb pies we could
stuff each spring for several weeks.
Then we used to go without until the
following spring.
The next arrangement was to can
the stalks, cut it into short sections
of about one inch, keeping them for
winter use. The plan was successful,
and yet the pies did not seem to taste
so good as when the stalks were fresh
ly cut from the growing plants.
Now we can have the plants grow
ing "down cellar" ready to order when
pies are wanted. It's a good scheme,
easy to manipulate, and the pie plant
comes up fresh and crisp, while the
pie foundation and roof are being
prepared.
Dig up small pieces of rhubarb
roots, even late as this time of the
year, and plant thickly in some soil
on the cellar bottom. Cover three or
four inches deep and wet down thor
oughly.
The temperature should be main
tained between 50 and 60 degrees.
Make the experiment and see how it
works.
When you fret and fume at th
petty ills of life, forget not that the
wheels which go around without
creaking last the longest.
SOFT PORK.
The Canadian and some other ex
periment stations have undertaken ex
periments to find out what kind of
treatment makes soft pork or wheth
er such pork exits only in the re
ports of the merchants that dock th
consignments that are sent abroad.
There have been innumerable cases of
consignments of pork to England and
other countries where the original
price was decreased by a certain
amount on the plea that the pork was
found to be soft. It is suspected that
this is only another way of turning a
dishonest dollar. It is charged by
some of the shippers that feeding on
corn is the cause of this. If so it is
directly opposed to the general belief
of feeders.
It purchasing pure bred stock, be
ware of unscrupulous live stock breed
ers who try to palm off "tail driers"
on the inexperienced.

himself into the presence of a friend
at a distance. The attempt was made
on the night of Nor. 15. 1886.
The result of his attempt, as de
scribed in the account written nut at
his request by the "percipient," who
it should perhaps be added, had had
no intimation of the experiment, was
as follows: "Yesterday viz., the
morning of Nov. 16, 1886 about half
past 3 o'clock I woke up with a start
and an idea that someone had come
into the room. I heard a curious
sound, but fancied it might be the
birds in the ivy outside. Next I ex
perienced a strange, restless longing
to leave the room and go downstairs.
This feeling became so overpowering
that at last I arose and lit a candle
and went down, thinking that if I could
get some soda water it might have
a quieting effect

there and I held up the candle and
HAVOC WROVGHT BX SILKWORM
A thrifty woman of Augusta began
experimenting some time ago to learn
what effect the Georgia climate would
have upon imported silkworms. A
room in her house was given up to
their use and mulberry leaves in
abundance were supplied to them.
Later, when they began to increase
in numbers and to escape to other
parts of the house, whatever spot they
chanced, upon became sacred to them.
No one was allowed to interfere with
a silkworm in its pursuit of happiness,
no matter where it might have estab
lished its cocoon. This was strongly
impressed upon the servants.
All the while the worms were grow

In order to take advantage of every
