What Sweet Apples are Best for
Farmers?

An. article inetheR Country Gentleman.
entitled Apples for Mich Cows reminds
us of a subjectio which we have paid some
attention, but as yet not arrived at any def.
mite conclusions. 1t is this: What va.
rieties OF sweet apples are the best for far,
mers, who have plenty ofland for orchard
ing, TO cultivate for the uses OF their stock?
We wantthosetrees that are, naturally har-
dy. quick growers. and profuse bearers.
and the fruit Of which shall be the sweetest
that can be found; and we want a success
sion of the apples from September to May.
A farmer who has a suite of trees an.
swering the above requirements, has a
source of rich feed for his cattle, sheep and
hogs.
We are aware that objections are often
made TO feeding apples TO mich cows. ],
is said it will cause cows 10 dry in their
mich. By over feeding them, this will be
the result. And SO will over feeding with
anything else.
The writer above alluded to- very truly
observes, that 'san unfavorable opinion Of
apples as food for COY has sometimes
arisen from the furious overlooking Of half
starved animals which have accidentally
broken into orchards, and brought on dis
ease. fever, and consequent drying OF the
milk by immoderate gorging-a reason for
%renouncing such food, would apply to the
exclusion Of oats from horses. and cold
water from men, BECAUSE they are some
times injured by an excess of them."
We wish farmers and apple growers.
and promological societies, would turn
their attention to this matter, and begin TO
investigate, and let US hear the results OF
their researches.
An acre ofland will afford room for for
~ large apple trees. When fully grown.
and in full bearing, they ought to yield
fromitwo hundred TO four hundred bushels
OF apples.-say two hundred on an average
of years. Could an acre Of your farm be
appropriated to a better and more profit
able use?-Maine Farmer. &
