SATURDAY EVENING. JANUARY q

The VALUE OF THE APPLE.-At recent
meeting of the New York Farmers Club
member said that of all the fruits gowu IN the
Northern States the apple is the most easily
raised, the cheapest aud most durable, and
gave the following rotation 10 the culture OF
orchards az one that has been successfully prac
ticed: The first year pillow, manure aud pIant
potatoes; the seeeud year pow, manure and
SOW oats and clover, aod NOW the oats for 100,
der: the third ye,,r take off The clover crop ana
pIow 10 the fall. preparatory to the potato crop,
which is 10 follow. Thus the land will be ma
nured two years out of the three, coed crop
ot oats and clover taken of aud toerable crop
of potatoes without apparentlblury to the trees.
Ia selecting trees, varieties such as come TOTO
use at different seasons should be Introduced,
30 as 70 secure supply for the whole year.
The comu,on error or setting the trees TOO near
each other was referred to and cautioned against
by this member, who though that thirty teet
apart is much better than nearer, as apples re
uure both suu and air. No fruit unless IT be
the g,spe, is more dependent on the sun Tor its
flavor and color than the ample.
