Summer Care of Apple Trees.

WE frequently notice apple orchards in
which nearly every tree is surrounded by
dense mass of suckers springing from
the base of the stems or larger roots. To
remove these is one of the things needing
attention in summer. The longer the
suckers are allowed to remain the more
difficult to remove, and the more abundant
they are likely to become. If the sap of
the tree is diverted from the branches to
producing suckers at the base of
the stem the more abundant will
buds become at this point, hence the
continual increase of such useless and in
furious appendages.
In removing suckers the soil should be
removed to their very base, and then cut
them away with a sharp instrument. =
strong chisel is an excellent implement
for this purpose. After removal I'LL III the
earth again. While the base OF the stem
is laid bare it is a good time to look for
apple-tree borers, especially the larYa OF
the tSaperd0 candida, which usually de
posts her eggs close to or just under the
surface Of the ground If one has ashes,
lime, charcoal or even old plaster from
walls, it may be applied around the stems
of apple trees with beneficial results.
The removal of what are called sap
sprouts" from the main branches OF all
trees should be attended to while they are
small, unless one cares nothing for the

To Obtain Fruit From Barren Trees.

A CORRESPONDENT of the american
Agr5cuItetr5st says: {" I wish to describe to
you method of making fruit trees bear
that | blundered on. Some fifteen wears
ago [ had small apple tree that leaned
considerably. | drove a stake by it, tied a
string to limb and fastened it to the stake.
The next year that limb blossomed full,
and not another blossom appeared on the
tree, and, as Tim Bunker said, 1t sot me
athinking,' and [ came to the conclusion
that the string was so tight that it prevented
the sap returning to the roots; consequent
ly it formed fruit buds Having a couple
OF pear trees that were large enough to
bear but had never blossomed, | took a
coarse Irvine and and wound it several
times around the tree above the lower
limbs and tied it as tight as [ could The
next spring all the top above the cord bios
sOmed as white as a sheet and there was
not one blossom below where the cord was
tied. [ have since tried the experiment on
several trees almost with the same result
think it much better way than cutting
off the roots. In early summer, say j ne
or July, wind strong twine around the
tree, Or single limb, and tie it, the tight
er the better, and you will be pleased with
the result; the next winter or spring the
cord NAV be taken Off"

How Mr.. Culver SaIuted a Stranger.

MIR. CULVER, on Nelson street, got out
his hose to sprinkle the road in front OF
the house, Friday evening. He dragged
the hose to the front and put the muzzle
on the fence, and then fastened down to
the cellar to turn the water on Just as
he disappeared in the door an elderly
couple, accompanied ny a young lady, up
peared around the corner and approached
the premises of Mr.. Culver The gentle
man was swinging gold-headed cane
and discoursing on the beauty ofthe even
ing and the trimness of the cottages they
were passing.
Now, that place" observed the old
gentleman, stopping exactly opposite the
nozzle, which none of the party observed,
and pointing'a at Mr.. Culver's pretty house,
" is place which just suits my eye 1t is
not too large nor too small. It has the
requisite amount of room inside and out
side. The yard is model Of"
And just at that unhappy instant the
water was turned on by the unconscious
Mr.. Culver, and, the old gentleman's beam
ing face being in exact range with the
dreadful nozzle, the stream struck him
with such binding force as to knock him
completely off the walk, and he went over
backward into the street, bare-headed,
swinging his cane in the air, and vehe-
mently suffering: "Ooh, Kawwish, boo,
dosh, wicherwish, goo-woo, thunder and
lightning! M-u-r-d e-r!"-Danbury Ne1s.

Dangerous Hay-Making.

"WILD hay is the name given by the
Swiss to hay made from the grass grow
ing OF strips Of soil to be found on the
Alps at a height of from 5000 to 5000
feet, in places so difficult of access that
even the goat-herd and his venturesome
flock forbear to visit them. This hav is
so valuable from its excellent quality and
delicious aroma that regular hay-har
vest is yearly undertaken on these al
most inaccessible places in spite of the
danger to life and limb involved in the
attempt. The hay-makers are shod with
iron, and secure themselves with ropes to
some sure hold when in especially danger
Gus places, but fatal accidents occur every
year. Its reckoned that one man can make
a hundredweight Of hay daily. This he
either carries home at night in net slung
over his shoulder or stacks it on the mount
ain, whence it is removed in a sIedge
wnoA the snow comes. This wild hay is
essential to the maintenance of the Alpine
cattle, the produce of the valleys being
insufficient for their winter keep, besides
being of inferior quality to this hard-won
spoil from those hooks in the everlasting
hills upon which the suns rays still linger
when they have long since left the valleys.

L. s. Drew's Farm.

Mr.. Cheever of the New England Farm
er hssrecently visited the farm of L. S.
Drew of South Burlington of which he
gives the following description
"Mr Drew prides himself upon owning
stallion, bull, and q buckEwhich he
would not exchange for any similar ami
mails in the state. His three-year.old
"Drew" took the first premium in his class
at the state fair at Rutland, the present
season. He was purchased last fall, at the
sale of6the Vermont horse breeding COM
pany, and is one of the most promising
colts ever sired by Waikiki, which cost the
company $4,000, and to whose death more
than anything else may be attributed the
breaking up of the enterprise. have seen
a great many good horses, and some very
valuable and very fast ones, but l never
saw one which filed the eyes so complete
ly In every respect as this young "Drew."
1t is beyond my power TO conceive of
man so humble that he would not feel q
little proud when holding the ribbons over
such an animal as this, whether hitched to
the carriage or the moving machine. Mr..
Drew had several other valuable horses,
but only gave them casual notice as l
left for the pastures to see the Ayrshres
and merinos.
"The herd of twenty four Ayrshire cows
is headed by 'Athol," bull purchased Of
Mr.. Abbott, of Montreal, and worthy
grandson of one of the first prize winners
at the cattle show of the Highland agricul-
tural society, Scotland.
GAS sheep breeder, Mr.. Drew has been
peculiarly successful, his stock being in
good demand for supplying the export trade
to California. His flock numbers at the
present time about seventy. Last year he
sold thirty five for $500, togo to California.
Mr.. Drew Is one of that class sometimes
called ''fancy farmers" and he certainly
has a fancy farm andsome stock that would
suit the fancy of almost any farmer, how
ever strongly he might be preiudiced
against farmers bearing this significant APP
pellation. In deep ravine within a few
yards from the farm barns, which, by the
way, are models of neatness and conven-
fence. is one of the most picturesque little
ponds to be found upon any farm. and So
wild that even the wild ducks come and

on the place"

vRRMoNT's LARGEST AND BEST
NEWSPAPER. a

The new year, COMMUNICATING the compile
ton OF the first century OF our Independence
and witnessing the election Of president and,
for the first time in our history, an entire ma
tional house OF representatives will be one OF
splendid possibilities both to journalism and
the country,
TIE GLOBE will avail itself Of the former, by
giving the news, late, prompt, fresh and full !;
by impartial comments on the news Of the
hour !; by candid, honest discussion Of the is
sues Of the day by full reports Of local occur
rences, and correspondence both local and
general by agricultural readings, market re-
ports. and by selections both grave and gay.
In a word, the endeavor will be to make THE
GLOBE q live newspaper, indispensable to the
farmer and business man, to the politician and
student to the ONCE, counting room and the
family circle.
That the country may realize the possibilities
seemingly in store for 1t, we shall on our part,
as in times past, advocate the principles and
policy Of the republican party, as we under
stand them, and, to that end, we shall labor to
make 1t better and purer by combating its
errors and exposing the wrong.doers In It's
ranks. We shall favor and strive for real ad-
ministrative reform, speedy return to specie
payments, an honest maintenance Of the ma
TONS plighted faith purer and better politics,
faithful and economical administration Of the
government, municipal, state and national, and
shall support only honest, capable men for
offlce. rf
As an earnest of the future,we can only point
to our course In the past. and assure our pat
rons that hereafter, as heretofore, we shall en-
deavOr to make THE GLOBE better and better,
and more and more worthy OF support with
each succeeding month. What The GLOBE
has been during the less than three years OF its
existence is well known, that 1t has been fully
appreciated its generous support amply attestS.
As medium OF advertising, THE GLOBE Is un-
surpassed in Vermont. The combined daily
and weekly circulation exceeds that OF any other

circulation OF the daily IS equal to that Of any
other daily in Vermont the circulation Of THE
WEEKLY GLOBE is much larger than the combined
circulation Of all the other tceekly newspapers in
