Cause Of Apple Trees Dying.

Mr.. Murray, writing to the Farmers
Club of the American Institute on the
"Cause of Apple Trees Dying" says that
in Southern Ohio, where he was raised
he has known his father, eighteen or
twenty years ago, to gather as much as
forty bushels of apples from single tree,
and these of the most excellent varieties.
In the same region, it now takes about
forty trees to prduce one bushel. Apples
began to decline in that locality about
1850. In his fathers orchard the pro-
gress Of the disease was quite marked
Bitter rot appeared, and the apples drop
ped off prematurely. The disease spread
until finally the whole orchard became
affected. His father hauled muck and
put it around the trees, and straw and
leaves. He manured, mulched and
pruned, all to no purpose. The trees
sickened and died. In his opinion, the
death of the trees was caused slowly by
climatic changes.
When large crops of apples were rais-
ed in that locality, there were swamps
and ponds near; the country had been
slightly cleared; the air was damp and
humid; there were dense fogs and heavy
dews. The same influences which pro-
duced rich, juisy fruit, likewise caused
agte and intermittent fevers. A good
fruit year was always fever and ague
year. By-and-by the country was clear
ed up, and the ponds were drained; fogs
and dews were rare, and drouths fire.
quent; the ague disappeared, but the ap-
Piles grew sick. They could not do with
out moisture. Apples are almost as
choice of their locality as grapes. In a
timbered country, well, ,watered, and not
too far north, they will bear immense
crops, with scarce any attention. In
other places they may do fairly, but in a
dry climate they can not succeed.
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1868-08-06
Gathering Fruit.

The appearance and value of fruit de-
pendvery much upon when and how
it is gathered. Peaches should be left on
the tree until fully ripe, and then gath
cred carefully with thumb aud finger,
and at once laid into the basket or box
in which they are to be marketed. If
the bloom is rubbed off the peach, by
rough handling, its beauty ofappearance
is injured, and it will decay much SOON
er than if untouched. Formerly it was
supposed that the peach must be gath
cred before ripe in order to ship it any
distance; but practical experience has
proven that ripe fruit, not quite soft, will
carry just as well as unripe, and COM
mand much better price.
ed from the tree by breaking the stems.
Unless the stem will separate freely from
the tree, the fruit is not ripe; it will
neither eat or cook good, and is only fit
for those who want a touch of cholera
morbus. Apples, as soon as gathered,
may be sent direct to market; but near
ly every variety of pear is improved in
appearance Ind quality by keeping in
close, dark drawers, wrapped in flannel
or soft paper, or packed bran few days.
For profit, and in order to obtain the
highest price, all fruit pays to be assort-
ed into two or more grades. A few scat
terring large berries, apples or pears, in
a quart or bushel, do not assist in adj
yancing the price; but if casefully pack
ed by themselves will bring the highest
price, and often induce the dealer to buy
the small fruit in order to get the large.

But Somebody's" tracks are all covered SO well
He never has seen the inside OF cell

Somebody has gone and thrown down all the

And turns on the water, and tumbles the beds,
And steals ali the pins, and melts all the dolls

And he said. half asleep, when asked what it

Now, If these high crimes OF" Somebody don't

We must summon in the dective police;
And they, in their wisdom, at once will make

Hunting for the Cows.

Many of our farmers have wasted years
of valuable time just because they did
not teach their cows to come. home at
night. Any one who has ever lived OF
traveled'in the country will remember
the familiar Co-bos, Co-bos, of the far
mer's son, or hired man, as they endeav-
or to coax the cows from the woods or
the tall grass in the great pasture. We
have had little experience in these
matters, and well remember how many
times we have waded through the brush
and bogs looking for the cows, and boy
like, we thought them dreadful contrary
animals. But we have lived long
enough to learn better, and now think
that the biped was the more contrary
animal of the two. Boys, we will tell
you a secret that will save you great
deal of trouble, and it is this: Just SOW
a few rows of corn in drills, where it will
be handy to the milking place, and
every time the cows are driven up at
night, or in the morning, give each one
u good armful of the fresh cornstalks,
and our word for it, the cows will always
be on hand at milking time. Besides
this, they will give more milk, and for
get to kick over the milk pail, even if
you do whistle little too loud.-[Week-

Treatment of G allied Back.

Geo. II. Dodd, veterinary surgeon
gives in the Prairie Farmer the follow.
ing:
So soon as ali abrasion is discovered
on the back of horse, the animal should
be excused from duty a few days; the
abraded parts should be dressed twice
daily with a portion of tincture of aloes
and myrrh. This simple treatment will
soon heal the parts. Should there be no
abrasion, but simple swelling, attended
with heat, pain and tenderness, the parts
should he frequently sponged with cold
water. Occasionally the skin undergoes
the process of hardening, (irritation).-
This is condition of the parts known
to the farriers of old as 'stitfast," and
the treatment is as follows: Procure
one ounce of Iodine and smear the indu-
rated spot with portion of the same,
twice daily.
Some cases of CALLED back and shorl-
ders are due to negligence and abuse;
yet many animals, owing to a peculiari-
ty of constitution will ',chafe,n as the
saying is, in those parts which come in
contact with the collar and saddle, and
neither human foresight, nor mechanic
cal means can prevent the same
