A sweet and Sour Apple.


Mr.. q. A. Gilbert, writing to the Maine
Farmer, says Captain Benjamin Allen,
of Green, Maine, raises in his orchard a
variety of apples, which is great pomo-
logical curiosity, as well as a puzzle. 1t
is made up of alternate sections of sweet
and sour, each section including about one
eighth of the apple. When the apple is
well grown, the sections are regular and
vary but little, if any, in different apples,
and they are always distinct. In size, form
and keeping propensities, it resembles the
Rhode Island Groening-in fact, the sour
part is that kind of apple. When first
picked, the whole apple is of greenish
color, and the sweet and sour sections are
not easily distinguished; but as it natures
the sweet sections assume rich yellow
color, peculiar to the greening. My father
obtained scions from Mr.. Aliens orchard,
and for many years raised some of the
apples, but the tree was blown down, and
now think, there are none to be found
only in Mr.. Aliens orchard. Many o
time have seen my father, when he had
company, surprise them by cutting first O
piece Of sour apple for them to taste, and
adjoining that piece of sweet from the
same apple The tree now in Mr.. Aliens
orchard was grated many years ago, but
l think no one knows where the scions
came from. How was such variety pro-
duced? Was it a natural growth from
the seed, or was it produced by artif-
cial means? I think it must have been
done by artificial means, but what those
means were, would probably need some
experiment to prove.
Middletown transcript., 1868-06-27

Catching rats is often difficult, as old
rats are proyerbially cunning Laying
around poison is dangerous not alone, but
Objectionable, for the reason that rats may
die at inaccessible spots and contaminate
the atmosphere with the well known de-
testable odor. A better plan has been
sdopted by one of our correspondents by
which he takes advantage of the cunning
habits Of the rats. He covers the floor
near the rat-hole with thin layer Of
moist caustic potash when the rats walk
on this it makes their feet sore; these
they lick with their tongues; it makes
their mouths sore, and the result is that
they shun this locality not alone, but they
appear to tell all the ncighboring rats about
it, and eventually the house is abandoned
by them, notwithstanding the neighbor-

CRoPs IN G clA,-The papers all over
Georgia are complaining greatly of the
drouth. The Macon Journal of the 18th
instant says: We are afraid the corn crop
in many counties has received injuries from
which it cannot recover. Upon many
fields no rain has fallen for four or five
weeks. This is a sad misfortune indeed to
our planters, but we will still hope rain
will come in time to save the late corn. 1t
will not be long before that, too, will
receive great injury Our gardens are
about gone up. Cotton as a general rule
is very clean and is looking remarkably
we'll. Rain would greatly improve it, al
though it has not as yet sffuered much.
Planters are everywhere anxiously looking
up at the clouds and noting every sign Of
rain.
