eoOsEBERRY M1IDEw,

It is well known that mildew is so
destructive to gooseberries in this
country, that but few of the large and
choice kinds ever perfectmuch of their
fruit, and as a consequence one of the
incest of fruits is but little seen in our
market, in a ripe state. The writer of
the Calender for the Horticulturist,
gives a very simple remedy, which if
as good as represented, is well worthy
of extensive application. The follow
ing is the remedy and as we read it,
merely requires the application once,
"when the fruit is forming:
Mildew may beprevented, by water
ing with soapsuds, over the branches.
A radical cure for this pest may be
formed by mixing a peck of lime and
a pound Of sulphur, in ten gallons of
water; let it stand and settle. "A pint,
in gallons of water, syringed over the
bushes when the fruit is. forming, will
keep them clean; csver the ground with
manure, and spread a small quantity
of salt over it, to keep as much mois-
ture as possible about the roots.
Mulching is undoubtedly a good
thing, as it keeps the roots in a more
uniform state as regards heat and
moisture, and salt is recommended by
several different writer's just at this
time. Our experience goes to prove
that if planted under the shaded of trees
somewhat, they escape mildew, al
though the fruit is small. The fine
show varieties of England are much
more subject to it than the small rough
kinds. The Whitesmith and Houghton,
are perhaps the safest to plant. ELS.

/, The following notes on some OF the
best varieties Of he apple for planting
in market orchards, we're furnished by
LEWIS f. ALLEN, of Blaek4Rock N.
Y. for the Transactions of the Fruit
Growers Society of Western New
York, and being the result of his own
experience and extensive observation,
are well worthy of the attention d
those who are making selections foI
this purpose. The varieties herenamed
are of course not intended as a com
plete list, but merely for the notes ac-
companying a collection of specimens.
sent to the Winter Exhibition. Every
one would add the Baldwin for pro-
ductiveness, and the Esopus Spitzen-
burgh and the Swaar,. for high flavor,
besides some others. We should not
rate the quality of the English Russell
quite SO high, while we fully agree
with the remarks on the second-rate
character of the Ladies' Sweeting.-
W. do not find that specimens of the
last named fruit, grown at Newburgh:
are Of any higher flavor than those
grown in Western New York, while We
admit that the beautiful appearance d
good specimens, late in the spring, car
be hardlysurpassed, and.this viii per
haps account for the high character
given to this apple by Downing, who
sometimes attached more importance
to a fine exterior than to flavor, Of
which his eommendation of Cranberry
pippm, Alexander apple, and Forelle
pear, furnish examples.

CABBAGE WITH POTATOES.

It may be interesting to those whose
area of ground is limited, to know that
good cabbage may be obtained from
land planted with potatoes. We re-
membee last year of seeing a very good
crop this way. The potatoes planted
should be early kinds, and if dug for
first use, so much the better.
When the cabbage are large enough
to plant, 60 along with stick and
turn over the haulm if it is in the way,
and plant between each other row Of
potatoes. AS the potatoes are dug,
level in the soil about the cabbage, and
if any concentrated manure is at hand:
put a handful around each plant pre-
viously. The string the soil has q
very beneficial effect on the cabbage
and the dissimilar nature of the preyi,
Gus crop does not materially rob the
soil. OF course any of the cabbage
family will do equally well. p. Sd

A Productive TREE.-A. LOOMS,
of Byron, Genesee county, N. Y, says
that the pastseason, a tree of the Bald
win apple, standing on the ground Of
his brother, produced last year twelve
barrels besides four or five bushels of
~windfalls,) that soldfor two dollars and
twenty-five cents per barrel. The
years product of this tree was conse-
quently t~Centy-seUen doaars--quite
equal to an acre of wheat in nett profit.

SUBsoING VS.. DRANTNG.-There
is no doubt but a soil made deep and
mellow will resist both drouth and del
uge better than a thin, hard soil. The
reason is obvious. If you have two
inches of soil on a board on in a box,
half an hours rain makes it complete
mud, and a half days sunshine viii
convert that mud into hard humps,
especially if the soil is clay, OF any
considerable part clay. Butt instead
of two inches it is two feet, it viii take
a long rain to wet it through, and no
part of it will be mud, until there is
water enough to make it all mud, and
then in drying, no part viii be very dry
until the whole is dry. A deep mellow
soil viii bear a larger amount of rain
without destroying its loose, porous
character to such a degree as to exclude
the air. So far as We have observed
a piece of dry, grayelIy soil, if plowec
deeply, viii stand a drouth better thar
wet clay soil if ploEed shallow, anC
undsrlaid by clay or hard an.-Cadt u.

The method by which the seed is planted with thi;
Planter is new, and, it is believed, possesses adyan.

ABSORPTION of moistures by bringing it into perfect
