APPLES FOB NORTHERN IOWA.
E. s. LEGO, Charles City, 1owa.-In recon-
Eending List Of apples for Northern Iowa,
N tho absence Of local knowledge, We must
take ainilar location into account. In grow
Ing apples in that section, sheltes-belt will be
OF great value. By this do not mistake email
clearing in the woods, but nM1on belt Of
troea On the prairie to break the force Of the
wind, not to prematurely etart the tree into
growth In the spring, or to give it \ late
autumn growth
heswick Goblin, and Sops Of Wine ara most
hAfdy and productive in Ill similar locations.
Red Astfaehan and Tetsofsky no doubt are
hardy, but an not 60 sanguine a. 10 constant
crops. There is no doubt that other GUNNER
apples will be foundof value, bat the new eettler
haa no time to test them Just nox, and be wants
to plant those that are veil assured Tho best
summer ereet apple Is probably the Golden
Sweet, (not Sweet Bough), Itiah Peach, Coop
Or, and Yellow iniestzie might be planted for
Porter Late IN the fall And eatly winter the
Snow appleIcannot be dispensed With, to be
thanked with large percentage Of the STAN
ard-the coming apple north OF 3se Of ]atitndo
for fall andiwinter use--large, ahowy, hardy,
and productive. We may put in Limber Iwi9.
Willow, and Boston Ntussct for spring use,
Ben Davis, Gsecning, Smiths Csdar, and many
othe1s may hold place, but for the centre Of

WILLIAM C. CURTIS, Otter Creek, jersey
County, uGnois.-Ihesa ext1acto1s are OF
various forms. will give you tho Dimensions
OF mine-not that it ia the best, hut for a
general guide. In the first placo, purchased
one that Vas made Of wood, in tho form Of
square box but it proved worthless, Oh ao-
count Of leakage, and, beHidea, it was a huge,
clumsy affair. sent it to dn-ehop, with in-
strucsion to use the honey frame and gearing,
and to put them in 4 ca4e Of sheet zinc The
barrel Of zinc il two and \ half fces high, and
Twenty-Five inches in diameter-too large. Tho
frame, OF revolving box, that holds the honey
framcs Aaa two faces or rides for the wi1o
cloth, and is twenty by ten inches. Two honey
frames with comb are put In 1t the came time
-Four to si1 hundred revolutions minute will
discharge the honey. Tho great value OF this
nacline is To empty The combs before they
have been capped over. The honey il WARM
and very iimrid 1t that season, and by
returning the empty coubs the bees arc saved
so mitch lafx'r. In extracting honey from old
comb that Is capped over, We remove the
caps with thin baded knife warmed in =
pitcher Of hot water. II one has much Of this
to do, two knives are used alternately. The
comb must be warm or the honey will not be
thrown out OF the cells
The timer charged me "a, and the frame
aud gearing were worth two or three more. II
several had been made they conld b Afforded
at q large profit at so each. There are on
tile case three iron bands to ntiffen the franc.
and molasses cato to discharge the honey.
1t is fastened " hoor with screws, through
taanGcs for the purpose.
