THE HERALD.
The Fameuse Apple.

FROM the western Farmer.
In answering l.. l.. Fairohild's
question, "What variety would
choose if restricted to one APPLE" I
would say the Fameuse Although
there are harder kinds yet get q
Fameuse tree started with suitable
top and it is all right. The question
is how to get it started right Choose
tree with q straight stem.
l think all nurserymen ought to
cut the Fameuse down TO the ground
at one or two years growth, and
when grown one year they will be
four to six feet high, and then there
will be no difficulty in forming the
top with a succession of limbs, by
rubbing off part of the buds as they
start growing. They should be sold
from the nursery in the fall after cut
ting off, and buried over winter.
There is variety here under the
name Of "Hoss" that is the hardest
apple in this county. They were
hrst introduced here by tree ped
dler, and have heard of but one of
them dying, and it was killed in Vi
roqua by the great tornado. The
Oldest trees bear fifteen bushels of
fruit per tree at about fifteen years
OF age. The quality of fruit is only
second rate. 1t is a fall and winter
variety. There is more call for
"Hoss" trees than any other apple.
They are good to dry; a splendid
cooking apple, and it is one of the
most constant bearers l am acquaint-
ed with, and in absence of Fameuse,
my little one rays, "Give me Hoss
apples" And l can worry down q
few of them myself after dinner.

s@ The manufacture of sugar from
the sugar beet promises, in some
sections of the country, to become a
matter of great commercial interest.
A practical illustration of what may
be done in that line is afforded in the
beet sugar manufactory now in opera
ton at Fond du Lac, Wis. 1t is some
two years since the experiment was
made in that vicinity by Mr.. Otto.
The scale on which it was conducted
was very limited at first, being con-
fined to few acres of land Early
in 1869, Mayor Bonesteel, of Fond
du Lac. became partner in the
business. They planted eighty acres
with beets, the poorest acre of which
yielded ten tons. 1t will be seen
that these eighty acres produced an
immense amount of sugar material
The mandatory gives employment
to large number of men, and has O
capacity of producing 1000 pounds
of sugar per day. There is enough
material to keep the factory going
till some time in April next. The
success Of This mandatory will
doubtless give new impetus to the
manufacture of beet-sugar. The soil
of Wisconsin is said to be excellent
for the growth of the sugar beet. and
it will, ere long, be turned to good
account in that direction.

Red Astrachan Apple.
From the Western Farmer

This apple makes splendid ap-
pearance is large; crimson in color
covered with bloom juicy acid; it
is productive and last, but not leas.,
it seems entirely hardy in this State
1t ripens here in July is one of the
first ready for market. 1t is juicy
ard rich !; good for eating and cook
ing. 1t has our vote as standing first
on the list of summer apples.
The tree is stout grower, though
not as rapid as some. Ny trees
were transplanted when three years
old from the graft, and commenced
bearing the third year after setting,
or six years from root graft. 1t is
said TO be of Russian origin.

AO II iHhH III COnnecLlcut, In max

found it needful to extend one through
an under drain that ran several feet
below the surface. How to get the
pipe through without taking up the
drain was a problem. But he stud
led upon it, and, after awhile, hit up
on this admirable PLAN He opened
the lower end of the drain, and then
catching an old calico cat that had
been a resident of his family for sew
eral years, attached a small line to
her leg; then thrusting her into the
upper end, aud giving a most I'M

other end, all covered with mud and
water, with the line attached to her
leg, quicker than one could say Jack
Robinson.
