Plum RAISING.

Aessrs. Brown Brothers, two miles
southeast of Norwalk, in Huron Co.,
O., have a plum orchard comprising
two thousand one hundred trees.
They are only four years old; last
year they produced seventy bushels
of plums, but this year, by certain
process, which has been published in
our horticultural journals, of shaking
the curculio down from the limbs
and drowning them in water, he
raised about a thousand bushels. His
green gage plums he sold for So per
bushel. The rest are all of the blue
gage variety, of the largest size, and
when ripe will probably bring the
same price. This will make his crop
worth some $4,000 for the present
season. The trees are set fourteen
feet apart, and kept in a state OF
thorough cultivation. The field is
an old one, the soil light and gravel
". having been under cultivation 80
or 40 years. The land is rather on
the rolling order. These gentlemen
claim nothing for the soil on which
they grow, but attribute their sue
cess to the fact that the plum is a
hardy tree, indigenous to our soil,
and that all that is necessary to In
sure crop is the care necessary to
destroy the curculio-the natural
and most destructive enemy of this
luscious fruit.
The foregoing facts we get from
our esteemed fellow-citizen, W. T.
Mcdonald, Esq, who saw the Piums
hanging on the trees. He informs
| us that many of the citizens of HUI
| ron county will set out extensive
| plum orchards at an early day.
Rev. Francis Clymer of Gallon
has the best show of plums in Craw,
| ford county. This is the united tes
timony of all who saw them. He
| had many specimens of the Orange
plum that were from six and one
fourth to seven inches in circumfer
ence. His crop on few trees was
perhaps fifteen bushels.

INTEREsTING TREES.

Some twelve miles below this city,
says a correspondent of the Inter
Ocean, writing from Fort Madison,
Iowa, are situated some very fine
looking apple-trees, growing in the
midst of the forest. For long time
their origin has, been a matter of
conjecture. The peeuliarities of
these trees are: First, the shape of
the leaf, which is much larger than
the ordinary apple leaf, being long
and quite slender. Second, they bear
fruit of the finest flavor, and parti IS
come for miles around to taste them
and some take leaves. and press
them to keep as curiosities.
An old settler who resided in this
part of the country before Black
Hawk and numerous other Indian
chiefs left, gives us the following in
formation: He says that the honor.
of planting these trees lies between
the chiefs Black Hawk and Keokuk,
and their respective tribes. St. Lou
is being the central trading point of
the ''far West" at that time, these
tribes of Indians had to 90 there to
procure supplies of Gen. Clark, who
was acting as agent of Indian affairs
at that point.
He informs us that between the
years 1895 and 1898, Red Wing,
then a famous young chief, on his
return from St. Lonis, spent few
days at st. Charles, Mo-, then
small settlement, now a fourishing
city. While there he was given a |
few apples to eat, which he seemed |
to enjoy very much, and asked for
some of the trees. One of the set
tiers procured some twenty-five |
young sprouts, and carefully cover
ed the roots, and gave him the ne
cessary instructions in planting |
them. These he carried distance |
OF one hundred miles to his home
and. planted around his wigwam.
Black Hawk gave this as the true
origin of the trees. They are one
hundred years old, and from present
will live the balance of
this century.
